Outlaw General and Outlaw Deputy take over private plant

August 19, 2003

In an outrageous move, outlaw General Acosta Carles in the company of Deputy Iris Varela, led a group of laid off workers and took over a plant of paper company Venepal. Venepal is a paper products company that has been having difficulties ever since the currency was overvalued. The company had decided to close some plants and attempt to restructure it, while selling some assets that are still worth something. On Monday, Acosta Carles, who is famous for taking over beer distribution plants during teh strike and his famous and disgusting “burp” in front of all the media at the time, joined Miss Varela, an MVR Deputy, in leading a group of disgruntled workers in an “Assembly” that decided to take over the plant. The company has asked the Venezuelan Supreme Court for an injunction, but so far all we know is that two people strongly identified with the Chavez administartion have taken over private property without any respect for the law or without any order by any legal authority to do so. Such is life in a country without law, where anarchy is promoted from the top.
