Tareck El Aissami, economic vice president and oil minister, has announced his resignation via twitter in the midst of the purge and internal war unleashed in the Bolivarian revolution. “By virtue of the investigations that have been initiated into serious acts of corruption in Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA); I have made the decision to present my resignation as Minister of Petroleum, with the purpose of fully supporting, accompanying and backing this process”, announced El Aissami, considered in his day as the great Venezuelan oil czar. “Similarly, in my capacity as a revolutionary militant, I place myself at the disposal of the leadership of the PSUV to support this crusade that President Nicolás Maduro has undertaken against anti-values that we are obliged to fight, even with our lives,” added the Chavista leader, who has seen two officials closely linked to him fall in recent days. Both the deputy Hugbel Roa, former Minister of Higher Education, and Joselit Trinidad Ramírez, in charge of the National Superintendence of Cryptoactives (Sunacrip) until last Friday, are two men from his absolute circle of trust. Always in the shadow of the head of his Political family, Roa not only enriched himself like so many other Chavista leaders, he also exhibited it. “Before allying with Tareck, he worked with a fast food cart (street stall) called Tazmanía. Today he has one of the largest and most luxurious houses in the region,” denounced former prosecutor Zair Mundaray, exiled today in Colombia. Despite Being responsible for the Universities, Roa was the protagonist of various controversies, such as when he violently threw a microphone at an opposition deputy during his speech in the National Assembly. According to Chavista media, “to speak with the president of PetroCedeño, you had to go through Hugbel.” PetroCedeño is a complex that produces, explores, improves and markets oil, fully acquired by Venezuela in 2021 and which today has shareholdings from France and Norway.
The great embezzlement denounced by the Chavista propaganda media would have been carried out in Sunacrip, in charge of financial operations in November, through cryptocurrencies, for the sale of 120 million barrels of oil. Local media also unofficially denounced that soldiers assigned to in Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) and businessmen connected to the revolution were also detained by the Anti-Corruption Police. The Public Ministry finally responded in the last hours and appointed five special prosecutors to “investigate the serious acts of corruption that link public officials in reprehensible criminal plots.” According to Mundaray, who knows the ins and outs of the Public Ministry, the prosecutors chosen They are involved in the same events, together with the three judges already detained. Previously, Nicolás Maduro had reacted with a message through his social networks, in which he called to defeat the anti-values. “A true revolutionary is characterized by sensitivity, humanism and, above all, honesty. Today more than ever our actions must be guided by spirituality. High ethics and morals!”, harangued the Bolivarian leader in his first reaction to the government operation that has led to the arrest of high political officials, judges and the military. The apparent surprise of the revolutionary leader that is not real: Venezuela ranks fourth among the most corrupt countries on the planet, all this after the 300,000 million dollars disappeared from the state coffers in times of revolution.
