The burden of living with insecurity

Yesterday I was a victim of insecurity, like most people in this country. Without knowing why, in the middle of a highway crowded with cars and heavy rain-product of the permanent and atmospheric instability surrounding Caracas these days, two men on their bikes, they were to smite the right glasses frighten my truck and showed a gun inside a bag, I guess that I understood that my life was at stake and in their hands, why should deliver my belongings.

I kept quiet, and as I evaluate options entrusting myself to God, as all those who went through this unfortunate experience. Fortunately and work of the operator was unhurt in the incident and terribly worried and outraged by the fact that we know some time ago: life worth nothing around here. And yet delicate and dramatic understanding this reality that we as a society we fail to unite as a country and demand that life be respected, regardless of political belief, purchasing power, education or religion that professes and that this is a reality of public institutions responsible for security must do their job.

who can not travel on a highway or a street in broad daylight, or have to live lattices, secure, and pursued by the overwhelming feeling that at any moment can go a misfit who feels the freedom to rob, kidnap, rape or kill is a situation that as a society must stop, so bizarre that it is unsustainable for the future of the country.

Our statistics show that the third cause of death violence is preceded by cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and we have killed over a hundred Venezuelans nationwide every weekend in the uncertainty product, occur on average 5 kidnappings a day, 2 hour and 46 thefts per day, figures realize how sick we are as a society, country by offering more opportunities death that we may have to undertake and be productive beings.

The loss of values, drugs, Manichean politicization of the institutions responsible for ensuring the safety and punish the offenders, the fragmentation of the city in tight places where the poor coordination and action of the authorities responsible for preventing death is fragmented and diluted into nothingness together with the disastrous dichotomy between antivalores coexists versus the possibility of pulse and effort arise from the periphery of poverty that has not solved any government on earth, are the breeding ground nefarious beings playing violent capable of truncating lives to be made a cell phone, shoes, vehicles and even for no reason.

The causes of this dire situation of crime in the country, is none other than the absence of public policies on the one hand enable the most deprived Venezuelan thrive in quality of life and well-being by having a country offered training opportunities, employment, health, housing and not see the necessity or convenience for crime. And other public policies that severely punish those who commit crimes and threaten the lives of others.

remember that the safety of all citizens is the duty of public bodies, the Constitution provides no distinction within the rights of Venezuelans, the protection by the State and the duty of the national executive to maintain and restore public order and ensure the peaceful enjoyment of constitutional guarantees and rights, despite the unfortunate reality that we experience on a daily basis citizens, is the helplessness of seeing unacceptably harmed by a crime unleashed little interest in curbing.

reminders that should be unnecessary: \u200b\u200bwhen a man, driving his car, wants to join another road or a highway and sees a little triangle on the floor like the photo, is not notice you put the indicator to inform those who come by other route go out and you will not look as slow down the others .... nooooo!

is for you to stand and give in their step. Sound strange?

Well I have no statistics on how often you do, but my direct experience .... Muuuuuuuuucha!

Decommissioning of capabilities in a country of opportunities

The formation of a productive frame as the small Venezuelan industrial park has taken more than half a century as a country. While under a model underpinned of development with significant weaknesses, endured a pattern of specialization based on the exploitation and export of natural resources, mainly oil, with a capital-intensive enclave sector in economy services to turn labor-intensive low-skill, was achieved with logical constraints form a national productive that has accumulated valuable technological and organizational learning and shaping an institutional capacity at managerial, technological, information management, marketing and customer relationship management - supplier today are our principal industrial heritage.

In particular companies and consulting engineering, construction, service wells, metalworking, metalworking and related manufacturing activity oil, petrochemical and gas upstream (providers goods or services) and downstream (processing raw materials into finished products of higher added value) represent the most developed sectors of our industry processes and services, by the same requirements as PDVSA once promoted their value chain, from its suppliers to their customers at the level of implementation of ISO standards and international certificates assurance systems and standards of quality in their production processes and the implementation of works and nvergadura, that contributed to the development of national suppliers and lesser extent in the formation of downstream production chains.

This incipient but valuable entrepreneurship, fifty years later, more than twelve years "a process that preaches socialist precepts, remains essentially mono export condition, dependent on oil and its price swings. With the added devastating in the past decade that preaches in every way imaginable objectives aimed at promoting a diversified economy, endogenous, sovereign and independent, not only have been achieved, but actually are not, nor have they been their direct or indirect targets. On the contrary their purpose more airy are to deepen economic dependence, production, food, health and now constructive foreign or exogenous capabilities. Strengthening and the productive fabric and external business skills from other countries - so-called allies in this decade to the detriment of local capacities.

We assist in Venezuela to a dramatic dismantling of those capabilities that many years has taken shape, which is deepened dangerously in 2007, with the start of the policy of nationalization and expropriation who now number more than 200 companies involved primarily in energy, agribusiness, telecommunications, steel, banking, food and construction now. Which has focused on these sectors considered strategic for the national economy and with the supposed aim of achieving "productive sovereignty and independence, food, energy, financial and construction, under a socialist production", reaching the opposite of those purported goals. The consequences of this process of systematic expropriation, together with price controls and heavy tax burdens has been a greater reliance on imports and a growing divestment of productive activities in the country, coupled with a raising of capital by an oversized and inefficient state management criteria that political, populist and sectarian hegemony.

Proof of this is the situation we experienced in areas where domestic production was self-sufficient as coffee, rice, and white maize this year have had to be imported to supply local demand, as production has decreased considerably due to price regulations, labor disputes promoted in many cases by public authorities must intervene to solve them, among other factors that have stimulated the sector divestment to prevent such items to be profitable.

In the case of sugar while the domestic industry historically does not supply the local demand, imports increased 152% disproportionately in the first half of this year, according to INE data, importing 223,629 tons compared to 88,770 tonnes in the first half of 2009 and estimates for the demand sector are imported 600,000 thousand tons by the sharp drop in production. Similar situation occurs with white corn, with rice, beans, or with the milk, cheese and chicken, meat, and even cocoa and preparations that have recently been considered strategic for the country , and of which we are exporters, despite the import of the item is more than the production and .* exproted

This situation is similar in other sectors such as manufacturing, which has been exacerbated by the entry of finished products from China, mainly affecting local industry of footwear, clothing, toys and much more. Either the metallurgical sector is working at 40% of its installed capacity by the shortage of inputs from SIDOR that has significantly reduced its production was once nationalized, which added to the contraction that has experienced this year as the halt construction and some projects in the oil industry has reduced the demand for metal structures, pipes and profiles, tanks, wires, containers, welded beams, which require developers and businesses in the area of \u200b\u200bhydrocarbons.

Moreover, Venezuela was the country with the biggest drop in exports (39%), the other countries in the region last year, trade between Venezuela and the Andean Community fell 38% in 2009, Mercosur decrease was 15.9%, with Mexico, Chile 36% and 28.3%. **

Meanwhile, billionaire poorly planned investment is earmarked to buy food and other items we can supply locally, the resources they cease to be injected into areas that require urgent attention in the country, such as security, budget autonomous universities for its operations, road infrastructure, provision of hospitals and homes in the country, if actions are the sole responsibility of the State, not the production of goods. However, addressing this huge flow of resources in dollars to import goods and products more profitable for officers to manage public funds at its discretion and without accountability mechanisms, rather than allocating them to promote the national production ultimately moves increasingly weak bolivar.
