The only real game changer for Venezuela would be sharing out all its net oil revenues equally to all Venezuelans
Sir, I refer to John Dizard’s “Russian oil group looks to Venezuela’s opposition in search for fresh collateral” July 29.
If Venezuelan oil revenues had been shared out equally to all Venezuelans, the current Venezuela tragedy would not be happening. It is as easy as that. To centralize those revenues in the hand of the government is an invitation to, sooner or later, have these to be managed by well-intentioned fools, outright bandits, or a poisonous combination of both, like now.
One sole change in the article 12 of Venezuela’s constitution, in order to declare the Venezuelan citizens to be the owners of all oil reserves, instead of the government, would be one of the biggest game changers ever.
In such a case could Venezuela’s creditors go after the oil belonging to about 32 million Venezuelans and not one government? How would a judge decide if he knew that creditors were trying to go after each Venezuelan’s US$30-40 per month, that which could help stop millions of human beings from starving or dying from the lack of medicine?
