Mexico Edition.

Three years after the oil reform of president Peña Nieto, which allows foreign companies to exploit the Mexican crude, the government has given them almost a fifth of the oil fieds with proven reserves, and the crude oil extracted from the Gulf of México will supply the needs of US and Chinese industries who won the tenders. Meanwhile, state-owned company Pemex is at risk of losing 65 of the fields with highest potential allocated to it, since it hasn’t met the production targets that were established, informed experts in the theme. They also explained that the rise in the price of gasoline is in fact a tax increase, since the government sells it to Mexicans at more than twice the import price. Martha Elena Ramírez, hosts this broadcast of the program Voz Pública, from Mexico City.

Guests: (recordings) Dr. Fluvio Ruiz Alarcón, former professional counselor of Pemex; Dr. Sergio Benito Osorio Romero and Francisco Garaicochea Petrirena, President of Grupo de Ingenieros Pemex Constitución del 17; Laura Valdez de los Santos and Silvia Pascual García, denounce the imprisonment of Raimundo Pascual García, arrested for protesting against the increase in the gasoline price, from Amealco, Querétaro.
