President of state-run oil firm Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), Rafael Ramirez, publicly denounced an international campaign against his firm, saying it is a reaction to nationalization of the country's main industry.In a public gathering outside PDVSA headquarters on Wednesday, Ramirez explained that there is a campaign orchestrated by the continent's right-wing to curb the advance of the revolution and of friendly governments and peoples.
He particularly accused local Globovision TV station of "mounting a slanderous allegation," referring to attempts to link PDVSA with the case of a suitcase with nearly $800,000 seized recently from a Venezuelan businessman in Argentina.
Ramirez said the TV channel is taking part in a campaign against PDVSA and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Don't let yourselves be misguided; what this is all about is control of the oil industry, which is now in the hands of the workers to benefit the entire people, stressed Ramirez, who called on workers to focus on the objective to build socialism, counting on PDVSA as the country's most economically influential business.
