Cabimas.- The councilman of the Patriotic Pole in Cabimas, Gregorio Sánchez, established a position on the problem of supply in the city and affirmed that the proposal is to appoint a General Staff for the management and supplies of gasoline in the town.

He stressed that said General Staff would be made up of representatives of Petróleos de Venezuela Sociedad Anónima (PDVSA), security forces, the Public Ministry (MP), Popular Power, the Municipal Council and a representative of the National Assembly (AN).

The mayor pointed out that it is important that the people know, and specifically the transport drivers, that the ZODI #11 of Zulia issued an order, so that from June 12 the State security forces would assume control of the stations of gasoline, only to ensure the security of access and the gasoline station; not to handle the distribution of gasoline, or decide who supplies or not.

He said that he has witnessed irregularities in different stations, mentioning the recent case in which some officials of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) were distributing the tickets to the drivers in line at a service station in Cabimas, on Monday the 12th of June and they, in their opinion, are not there to fulfill that role.

He denounced that he was also able to witness at another station that a National Guard official who guarded the gas station was the one who decided on support and access to vehicles that were not in line.

For Sánchez, in some cases those responsible for the gasoline stations agree with some officials of the security forces that guard the gasoline stations and allow them to manage the processes in the distribution of gasoline and they maintain the management in VIP users and when chaos is generated they attribute the responsibility to the security forces.

Councilor Gregorio Sánchez’s call is for Zodi in Zulia, for the Ministry of Energy and Mining, to inspect more frequently the gasoline stations to which they are supplying, as well as the Public Ministry and the People’s Power so that participate in the supervision of gas stations.

“It is not explained that 14,000 liters arrive at a gas station and only 250 vehicles mark. If those 250 vehicles are multiplied by 40 liters, which are the ones that supply each vehicle, there are 10,000 liters, what happens with the other 4,000 liters remaining, where they go, “he said.

He added that, “they say that the rest is for the supports, but who determines that support, who supervises and controls those supports.”

On the other hand, he asserted that it is important that the Ministry of Energy and Mine requires those responsible for gasoline service stations to fix damaged gasoline pumps, to speed up the process of supplying gasoline to drivers. or vehicles waiting in line to fill up, since there are gasoline stations that keep some pumps damaged and this leads to a slower supply of gasoline, thus subjecting drivers to situations of calamity and distress.
