The Mexican petroleum

National The unemployment increases in spite of the government's publicity The Mexican petroleum By: Carlos Damian August 19, 2013 According to official data, 32 of each 100 dollars of the public sector come from the hydrocarbon Mexico.- The convenient one and mediatic one "euphoria" that it caused the initiative of “energy privatization that anything privatizes", the relative information to the behavior labor Mexican passed to a very far away second plane, as something without social neither political importance, when we know that the center of the debate is the bankrupt economic model. As habit year by year has been made those this year too that approved the “labor reformation” the gold and the cheese’s Moon they promised: formal employment thousands and more of that for the economy that has 70 percent dedicated to the informal economy. This enormous majority of employments with social benefits would have “worthy wages”, varied recruiting forms, and “drastic reduction” of the informality, formulas that the genius legislative would solve one of the problems that more it suffers and it hurts to the country; the unemployment and the unemployment, the precarious entrance and the ghastly social benefits. The citizen accustomed to the persistent ostentatious non fulfillment of the offers associated to what some call "modernization", the citizen doesn't give bigger credibility to the pompous offer, although they don't lack dreamer and frank that they ended up thinking that the "reformation" in something would solve the chaotic labor market in the formal sector of the economy and perhaps it would reduce the enormous informal army of the economy; however, just the opposite it has arisen. The Mexican petroleum President EPN is “a cynic one” and the respect misses the town from Mexico when invoking the General Lazaro Cardenas del Rio (LCR), in their proposal privatizing of Pemex, the former boss of the D.F., Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon (MEC) sustained. The applicant to the national leadership of the PRD regretted that the PRI seeks to give the petroleum to foreign managers and in that “we don't agree". When EPN, presented the initiative of the energy reformation he said that he “is inspired by the LCR ¡you will should it is necessary to be cynic to say that!, (in fact) it is an abuse, a violation that they manage it in that way", MEC reproached. He intended that the PRD makes a great social mobilization, not walking, but of collecting signatures to force the federal government to that it is summoned to a plebiscite and that the Mexicans decide the destination of Pemex. He requested justness in the diffusion of the proposals contrary to the official one, because from Monday (8/12/13), the mentions in the means in favor of the initiative are 300 to one against the opposition to the privatization of the hydrocarbons. ‘Goering’ would give him pain the small quantity against which attacked the German citizens in the Second World War compared with that of the federal government, since when the referendum is elaborated (or plebiscite) it will only be question of legitimating the national sale. On the other hand the Mexican government obtained additional revenues for 2 thousand 876 million dollars, generated by an increment in the international price of the petroleum that in the first semester of the year, it was located up of the reference used for the elaboration of the federal budget of this year, they showed official data. Between passed January and June, the price average of the Mexican petroleum of export was of 100.96 dollars for barrel, superior to the 86 dollars used as reference when the federal government and the Congress negotiated the budget of expenditures of the Federation for 2013, SHCP (Treasure Bureau), the treasure of the nation reported this Thursday (8/15/13). Still with a decrease in the volume of the exported petroleum, regarding the one foreseen to the beginning of the year, the revenues of the export of raw petroleum added 21 thousand 197.15 million dollars in the first semester of 2013, the SHCP it reported. This quantity was superior by 15 percent to the one foreseen in the budget for this year that was of 18 thousand 320 millions, added. The difference among the prospective revenues, according to the volume and price foreseen to the beginning of the year, and those really obtained ones were of 2 thousand 876.5 million dollars, in accordance with the information of Treasury. The export volume in the first semester of the year was of a million 167, a thousand daily barrels on the average, inferior to the one foreseen to the beginning of the fiscal exercise that was of a million 183 thousand 500 barrels for Co.. However, the revenues overcame to the prospective ones due to the increment in the price. They will follow high rates In the first semester of this year, 32 of each 100 dollars of revenues of the public sector had their origin in the exploitation of the petroleum, in accordance with Treasury. The recovery, be this way marginal, of the economic activity in the eurozone that began to leave the recession in the second trimester of the year, as well as the political uncertainty in the Middle East region, will maintain high the prices of the petroleum, according to analysts. You cannot discard that the recent geopolitical events (as the political uncertainty in Egypt), together with an increment in the demand on the part of the refineries after a maintenance season, be behind the recovery of the price of the raw one. According to Oleg Hansen, of Saxo Bank, he says, the speculative investors have increased their rising bets regarding so much maxima in the raw West Texas Intermediate (of reference in the American continent), and the Brent (of relating in the European market). This situation that has been seen already other times in the last years, supposes the main risk of low, since any change combined with an invigoration of the dollar could cause the first liquidations of long positions, and ultimately in the prices", the analyst pointed. On the other hand the result of the Mexico’s president proposal will be possible that the private sector according to Enrique Ochoa, in its informative article 'Dinero' that, “it participate in the business of the refinement of raw. Will the question that arises soon after this discussion, surrender this refinery to some favorite manager of EPN? “ As you they will remember, did Pemex put to compete to several cities of ‘The States Mexican’ looking for the one that better conditions offered for what its maxim would be it works. In April of 2009, the former director of Pemex, Jesus Reyes Heroles (JRH), he announced that Tula, Hidalgo, had won and he gave the federal government of that entity a term of 100 days to carry out the necessary steps and to give the 700 hectares where the oil complex would rise. The Hidalgo State had defeated Salamanca, Guanajuato State. The investment would be of 9 thousand 23 million dollars and the work would be working 2016 year. The following news that we had was that a Tamaulipas State company had won the contract to make the thatched top. However, he took them more time and will that the extensive Chinese Wall. More recent in April of 2012, Pemex announced that it had assigned manufacturer ICA Fluor Daniel the contract to develop the engineering, with a cost of 135 million dollars. They have lapsed more than 4 years since JRH announced the work and there is justified suspicion that delay is deliberated. However the reason was not known, but the curtain leaves running to discover the truth, given the urgency that has the country to care gasoline of The States. The mystery begins to discover. The undersecretary of Hydrocarbons of the Secretary of Energy, Enrique Ochoa even Prays, he said in Queretaro that the reformation opens the possibility of the construction and operation of refineries on the part of private investors. On the other hand Xochitl Galvez (XG), the Hidalgo government and former candidate, she says that, “no administration has really had money to make it and to invest the budget that is required. Between Fox and Calderon they threw the ball, but the only thing that demonstrates it is the inability of Pemex”. With the reformation of EPN and their regulation is probable that a private company can they can remove that choked their construction, XG adds. Somebody will keep the unconcluded refinery and it would be the multimillionaire of the petroleum. A false argues: the government doesn't have money. In this context of national sales disguised of structural reformations they never took seriously to the legal vein of the Constitution, neither it was mentioned that it was a sacred national cow. Today the danger is in reforming the article 28 and the secondary laws. It has passed this way in Mexico with these neoliberal governments, but we remember to the new one rich of Carlos Slim of Telmex, to the manager of TVAzteca, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, to the disastrous German Larrea of the ‘Mexico Group' mining, and of a long list of new rich for national sales that escape from the inkwell.
