Bragging is certainly not paying the bills and honoring the promised investments seems not to be the strong hand of the VZ leaders.

Where ever you turn there are bills to be paid but the promises keep coming and the bills keep piling up ;soon enough everybody will realize that Chavez is insolvent and credit doors will be double locked.

How Sanz can say that they can access investment capitals, like the others do, putting the gold in the ground as a guarantee ?

He has a very distorted view of the image of Venezuela around the world and the pledging of his socialist financial alleys,which are doing so to help themselves,makes him believe it blindly.

Money will never be available for them from the westerners unless the capitalistic world is involved into the doings.

Petrobras Says It May Build Refinery Without PDVSA (Update1)

By Jeb Blount and Steven Bodzin

Jan. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Brazil´s state-owned oil company, said it may build a planned oil refinery in northeast Brazil on its own if it fails to agree on a fuel-supply contract with partner Petroleos de Venezuela SA.

PDVSA, as the Venezuelan oil producer is known, wants above-market prices for heavy crude to supply the Abreu e Lima refinery near Recife, Paulo Roberto da Costa, head of refining at Petrobras, told reporters today in Sao Goncalo, Brazil.

“Petrobras very much wants to build the refinery with PDVSA,” he said at the event in Rio de Janeiro state. “But it will build it on its own if it has to.”

The two companies have an agreement under which PDVSA would take a 40 percent stake in the project, he said. PDVSA hasn’t yet contributed any funds to construction, he said.
