Hugo Chavez said today on his weekly TV program that the oil industry is going back to work. So far only one ship (there are more than one hundred) has moved, and gas lines are huge, so we are not sure what he means by that. Additionally, he said that all oil workers that are on strike are being fired. He denounced corruption in PDVSA and withour giving details, said they will be revealed later.
Separately, many lawyers continue to say nobody can be jailed for not following orders from PDVSA. Lawyers say that the penalties are only when the injunction is accepted, but there is no decision on that, the audience will take place later next week. They also inform that this is not a labor strike and thus the Governemnt can not order people to go back to work like it is pretending to.
