Chavez Provides Cheap Oil
To 181,000 US Families
By Prensa Latina
4-26-6
CARACAS. (PL)- Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez spoke this Sunday with visitors from the United States who have benefited from the program that provides fuel at solidarity prices sponsored by the CITGO oil company, an affiliate of PDVSA in that nation.
Representatives of a group of 65 individuals visiting Venezuela explained during the "Aló Presidente" radio-television program how that fuel was distributed in their communities.
They indicated that in many cases it was not only seen as economic aid but also inspired hope.
James Sapier, an indigenous representative, stated that his people live in the northernmost part of the country where temperatures are lower than 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
He added that this assistance will make it possible for them to endure the severe winters, given that the U.S. authorities disregard their living conditions.
The visitors were from eight regions receiving the benefits of this plan, and they organized this visit themselves to thank President Chávez for the idea of distributing heating fuel at economic prices.
