The NGO Transparencia Venezuela demanded this Monday that the acting president Delcy Rodríguez publish the contract she signed so that the country export liquefied petroleum gas for the first time in its history.
The non-governmental organization requested details of the agreement, announced on Friday, to comply with “the principles of transparency and accountability that govern the national Constitution”.
He expressed that this would make “a big difference with the pattern of opacity that has governed the Venezuelan State until now.”
On the social network Instagram, Transparencia Venezuela published a letter addressed to Rodríguez, who was sworn in as interim president two weeks ago after the capture of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, by the United States on January 3, and He invited organizations and all citizens to join this request.
The NGO asks “complete and verifiable information” about the companies and entities involved, including their participations and selection criteria, and the conditions and characteristics of the contract, with data such as committed production volumes and validity, investment amount, tax obligations, goals, general commercial conditions, logistical responsibilities and destination of exports.
“We request the full publication of the signed contract, including annexes, addenda or modifications or, failing that, express indication of the legal reasons that prevent its total or partial disclosure,” reads the document, where the organization indicates its contact email “to receive the response.”
They ask for the publication of the information on the Internet
He urged the authorities to make the information is available to all citizens on the web portal of the Ministry of Hydrocarbons.
On Friday, Rodríguez announced that, for the first time in the country’s history, an LPG marketing contract has been signed and “Venezuela’s first gas molecule will be exported,” without giving details of the agreement.
Caracas signs this agreement at a time when the oil industry is at the center of the rapprochements between Venezuela and the United States, which receives 30 to 50 million barrels of crude oil of the country.
