Another accident at the El Palito refinery

February 12, 2003


While the Government tries to dismiss accidents at the El Palito refinery as “normal” when starting up a refinery, there is nothing normal about this pictures of a fire on February 8th. taken by a fired PDVSA worker from the outside of the refinery. The truth is the refinery, which was working when PDVSA workers were forced to hand it over, has been shutdown for six weeks now. During this time there have been two major fires.
