From today’s Tal Cual Editorial entitled “Petrocide”:
“The number of people fired in PDVSA reached already ten thousand. It is more than a quarter of the company’s workers. A true labor genocide, a senseless and incomprehensible massacre.”
“Chavez appears to have no true conscience of the enormous economic and social catastrophe that the country is falling into. A conscious Government official would understand that a strike like the one the country has gone thru (even if it could have been questionable) reveals a sustantive crisis in the nation. That millions of Venezuelans participated in this work stoppage in a way that The Economist has qualified as suicidal, as self-destructive, says a lot of the dimension, of the magnitude and of the depth of rejection that the coupster of 92 has generated among his fellow citizens”
