Chavez’ slip of the tongue

August 21, 2003

For months, both local and foreign experts have been saying that Venezuela was producing no more than 2.5 million barrels of oil while the Venezuelan Government and the Minsitry of Energy and Mines was assuring everyone that the amount was 3.2 million barrels a day. Well, today President Chavez himslef said the country was producing 2.3 million barrels of oil. Innocent mistake or slip of the tongue?
