Barbara Moncada #NEWS Chavez's socialist perks: The perks millions of Hugo Chavez





Author (s): José Casado
O Globo - 25/09/2011




In power for 12 years with speech for the poor, President Hugo Chavez, has an annual budget of $ 298,000 for clothes and $ 22,000 for shoes, says José Casado.

Experts call attention to high costs and failure of the Venezuelan Presidency project of nationalization



One morning last October, two agents of the Venezuelan Office of the President went on a special mission of the Miraflores Palace, a French Neo-Baroque mansion built in downtown Caracas for 127 years by the Italian Count di Orsi Mombello. They turned the first corner, two blocks and crossed into the Central Bank headquarters, a concrete box with 30 stories, whose plots and textured surfaces and air filter made light of Thomas Sanabria an icon of architecture in Venezuela 60 years .

At the bank, collected $ 5 million in cash. They were for expenses ($ 500 thousand per day) of the trip that President Hugo Chavez would start tonight, with stops in Moscow, Kiev, Tehran, Damascus and Tripoli.

What happened next is pure mystery Bolivarian. That couple of blocks from the Miraflores BC and disappeared agents and money - an amount sufficient to support 1,800 families for one year, considering the basic food basket for $ 279, calculated as the National Institute of Statistics.

Chavez sent for another $ 5 million. And took off aboard the presidential Airbus $ 70 million (flight hour to $ 30 000) for ten nights abroad accompanied by 90 people, including guards, cooks and doctors.

Ruler of expensive habits in a country where rationing

Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias, 57, became ruler of an expensive habits for a nation of 27 million people whose economy is equivalent to one quarter of Brazil depends on oil exports, imports almost everything they consume (85%), a bitter record inflation (30% per year) and water rations, food and energy.

For 12 years in power, he tries to beat cancer and win a fourth term in October 2012. Daily renews the promise of bringing the socialist paradise in Venezuela - agreed to a "Social Plan Supreme Happiness" - but can not guarantee even the supply state of the markets with staples such as oil, meat, flour and milk.

In the Palace of Miraflores, in contrast, the abundance prevails, Chavez has quintupled the budget for the presidential office in the last three years (U.S. $ 794.1 million in 2011), calculate the Transparency Venezuela and experts in public accounts, as Carlos Berrizbeitia, Party Project National.

The opulence of the amounts budgeted for spending this year's presidential Chavez expressed appreciation for perks and political relations based on patronage. From each $ 10 of the Cabinet's budget, $ 7 are intended for social projects (food, scholarships and housing) as he conducts himself. The remaining funding costly perks, including:

U.S. $ 10.4 million (U.S. $ 866 600 per month) in spending on parties, food, drinks and "social relations";

U.S. $ 320,300 (U.S. $ 26 700 per month) on clothes and shoes;

U.S. $ 151,000 (U.S. $ 12 500 per month) in toiletries;

U.S. $ 408,000 (U.S. $ 34 000 monthly) in laundry;

U.S. $ 9.5 million (U.S. $ 791 000 per month) in foreign travel;

U.S. $ 3.2 million (U.S. $ 266 600 per month) in maintenance of "home."

- As a socialist revolutionary Chavez speaks and spends as rich capitalist - said Carlos Berrizbeitia.

The government accounts are opaque, with a routine parallel budgets - notes Transparency Venezuela. It is rarefied official information about the source of budgetary resources. And remarkably little accountability on spending - especially spending president.

Everything is secondary, Chavez repeated: "No matter what we do not have to dress and eat, it is to save the revolution." Because she already spent $ 23 billion in expropriation and business creation. But the "production model" fails - and total inefficiency, economists note Richard Obuchi, Anabella Abadi Lira and Barbara in the book "Gestión en rojo" (management in red) on 16 companies 'socialized'.

Increasing dependence on imports of U.S.

They reported the case of Venirauto created by Venezuela and Iran in 2006 to build cars. Could manufacture 10 thousand a year, but only managed to assemble 2,017 vehicles in five years. Rialca already, which produced 30,000 aluminum wheels a week, is paralyzed from the expropriation in 2008. Just got new project: will turn camelódromo. The Los Andes was the largest in milk and dairy products to be nationalized. Now operating at 20% capacity, and the country suffers a shortage of dairy products. This "production model" requires increasing subsidies. The Sucre works with a cost of $ 1 per pound and sells sugar to the market state to $ 0.25. The Treasury banking the difference of $ 0.75. In the cities there is rationing.

Irony of history: in the crisis, Chávez's Venezuela is increasingly dependent on the U.S.. In 2010 the country bought $ 26 billion, mostly in foods. Purchases must increase by 20%.




Los millones de beneficios de Hugo Chávez

O Globo - 25/09/2011

 

 

En el poder durante 12 años con el habla de los pobres, el presidente Hugo Chávez, tiene un presupuesto anual de 298.000 dólares en ropa y $ 22.000 para calzado, dice José Casado.

Los expertos llaman la atención a los altos costos y el fracaso del proyecto de la Presidencia de Venezuela de la nacionalización

 

Una mañana de octubre del año pasado, dos agentes de la Oficina del Presidente de Venezuela fue a una misión especial del Palacio de Miraflores, un francés neo-barroco mansión construida en el centro de Caracas durante 127 años por el conde italiano Orsi di Mombello. Se convirtió en la primera curva, a dos cuadras y cruzó a la sede del Banco Central, una caja de concreto con 30 pisos, cuyas parcelas y superficies texturadas y filtro de aire hizo la luz de Tomás Sanabria en un icono de la arquitectura en Venezuela de 60 años.

En el banco, recaudó $ 5 millones en efectivo. Que eran para gastos ($ 500 mil por día) del viaje que el presidente Hugo Chávez comenzará esta noche, con paradas en Moscú, Kiev, Teherán, Damasco y Trípoli.

Lo que sucedió después es puro misterio Bolivariana. Que par de cuadras de la BC Miraflores y agentes desaparecieron y el dinero - una cantidad suficiente para apoyar a 1.800 familias durante un año, teniendo en cuenta la canasta básica de alimentos por $ 279, calculado como el Instituto Nacional de Estadística.

Chávez envió otros $ 5 millones. Y se fue a bordo del Airbus presidencial de $ 70 millones (hora de vuelo de 30 000 dólares) durante diez noches en el extranjero acompañado por 90 personas, incluyendo guardias, cocineros y médicos.

Regla de los hábitos caros en un país donde el racionamiento
Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías, de 57 años, se convirtió en gobernante de un hábito costoso para una nación de 27 millones de personas cuya economía es equivalente a una cuarta parte de Brasil depende de las exportaciones de petróleo, importa casi todo lo que consumen (85%), una inflación récord amargo (30 raciones% por año) y el agua, alimentos y energía.

Durante 12 años en el poder, trata de vencer al cáncer y ganar un cuarto mandato en octubre de 2012. Todos los días se renueva la promesa de traer el paraíso socialista en Venezuela - acordaron un "Plan Social Suprema Felicidad" - pero no puede garantizar ni siquiera el estado de abastecimiento de los mercados con alimentos básicos como aceite, carne, harina y leche.

En el Palacio de Miraflores, por el contrario, la abundancia prevalece, Chávez se ha quintuplicado el presupuesto de la oficina presidencial en los últimos tres años (EE.UU. $ 794,1 millones en 2011), calcular la Transparencia Venezuela y expertos en las cuentas públicas, como Carlos Berrizbeitia, Partido Nacional del Proyecto.

La opulencia de los montos presupuestados para los gastos de Chávez presidenciales de este año expresaron su agradecimiento por las gratificaciones y las relaciones políticas basadas en el clientelismo. De cada $ 10 de presupuesto del Consejo de Ministros, $ 7 están destinados a proyectos sociales (alimentación, becas y vivienda) mientras se conduce. El resto de la financiación costosos beneficios, incluyendo:
EE.UU. $ 10,4 millones (EE.UU. $ 866 600 por mes) en el gasto en fiestas, cenas, bebidas y "relaciones sociales";
EE.UU. 320.300 dólares (EE.UU. $ 26 700 por mes) en la ropa y los zapatos;

EE.UU. 151.000 dólares (EE.UU. $ 12 500 por mes) en artículos de tocador;

EE.UU. 408.000 dólares (EE.UU. $ 34 000 mensuales) en la lavandería;

EE.UU. $ 9,5 millones (de dólares EE.UU. 791 000 por mes) en los viajes al extranjero;

EE.UU. $ 3.2 millones (EE.UU. $ 266 600 por mes) en el mantenimiento de la "casa".

- Como socialista revolucionario de Chávez habla y pasa capitalista tan rico - dijo Carlos Berrizbeitia.

Las cuentas públicas son opacos, con un presupuesto de rutina en paralelo - Notas de Transparencia Venezuela. Es enrarecido información oficial sobre el origen de los recursos presupuestarios. Y muy poca rendición de cuentas en el gasto - en especial el gasto presidente.
Todo es secundario, Chávez repitió: "No importa lo que no tiene que vestir y comer, es para salvar la revolución." Porque ya gastó US $ 23 mil millones en la expropiación y la creación de empresas. Pero el "modelo productivo" no - y la ineficiencia total, los economistas nota Richard Obuchi, Lira Anabella Abadi y Barbara en el libro "Gestión en rojo" (gestión de color rojo) en 16 empresas "socializado".

Creciente dependencia de las importaciones de EE.UU.

Se presenta el caso de Venirauto creado por Venezuela e Irán en 2006 para fabricar automóviles. Podrían fabricar 10 mil al año, pero sólo logró reunir 2.017 vehículos en cinco años. Rialca ya, que produjo 30.000 rines de aluminio de una semana, está paralizado de la expropiación en 2008. Acabo de recibir un nuevo proyecto: se convertirá camelódromo. Los Andes fue el más grande de leche y productos lácteos que ser nacionalizados. Ahora operando a 20% de su capacidad, y el país sufre una escasez de productos lácteos. Este "modelo productivo" requiere aumento de las subvenciones. El Sucre trabaja con un costo de $ 1 por libra y se vende el azúcar en el estado del mercado a $ 0,25. El Tesoro de la banca la diferencia de $ 0,75. En las ciudades hay racionamiento.
La ironía de la historia: en la crisis, la Venezuela de Chávez es cada vez más dependiente de los EE.UU.. En 2010 el país compró $ 26 mil millones, principalmente en los alimentos. Las compras deben aumentar en un 20%.











Mordomias do socialista Chávez

As mordomias milionárias de Hugo Chávez
Autor(es): José Casado
O Globo - 25/09/2011


No poder há 12 anos com discurso voltado aos pobres, o presidente Hugo Chávez, tem orçamento anual de US$ 298 mil pra roupas e US$ 22 mil para sapatos, conta José Casado.
Especialistas chamam atenção para gastos elevados da Presidência venezuelana e o fracasso do projeto de estatização

Numa manhã de outubro passado, dois agentes do Gabinete da Presidência venezuelana saíram em missão especial do Palácio de Miraflores, um casarão neobarroco francês construído no centro de Caracas há 127 anos pelo conde italiano Orsi di Mombello. Eles dobraram a primeira esquina, atravessaram duas quadras e entraram na sede do Banco Central, uma caixa de concreto armado com torre de 30 andares, cujas superfícies texturadas e tramas filtrantes de ar e luz fizeram de Tomás Sanabria um ícone da arquitetura venezuelana nos anos 60.
No banco, recolheram US$5 milhões em espécie. Eram para despesas (US$500 mil por dia) da viagem que o presidente Hugo Chávez iniciaria naquela noite, com escalas em Moscou, Kiev, Teerã, Damasco e Trípoli.
O que aconteceu a seguir é puro mistério bolivariano. Naquele par de quadras entre o BC e Miraflores, desapareceram agentes e dinheiro - uma quantia suficiente para sustentar 1.800 famílias por um ano, considerando-se a cesta básica a US$279, como calcula o Instituto Nacional de Estatística.
Chávez mandou buscar mais US$5 milhões. E decolou a bordo do Airbus presidencial de US$70 milhões (hora de voo a US$30 mil) para dez noites no exterior acompanhado por 90 pessoas, entre seguranças, médicos e cozinheiros.
Governante de hábitos caros num país em racionamento
Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías, 57 anos, se tornou um governante de hábitos caros para uma nação de 27 milhões de pessoas cuja economia equivale a um quarto da brasileira, depende das exportações de petróleo, importa quase tudo que consome (85%), amarga uma inflação recorde (30% ao ano) e raciona água, energia e alimentos.
Há 12 anos no poder, ele tenta vencer um câncer e conquistar um quarto mandato, em outubro de 2012. Renova diariamente a promessa de levar os venezuelanos ao paraíso socialista - aprovou até um "Plano de Suprema Felicidade Social" - mas não consegue garantir sequer o suprimento dos mercados estatais com alimentos básicos, como óleo, carnes, farinha e leite.
No Palácio de Miraflores, em contraste, predomina a fartura: Chávez quintuplicou o orçamento do gabinete presidencial nos últimos três anos (US$794,1 milhões em 2011), calculam a Transparência Venezuela e especialistas em contas públicas, como Carlos Berrizbeitia, do partido Projeto Nacional.
A opulência dos valores orçados para os gastos presidenciais deste ano traduz o apreço de Chávez por regalias e pelas relações políticas baseadas no clientelismo. De cada US$10 do orçamento do gabinete, US$7 se destinam a projetos sociais (alimentos, bolsas de estudos e habitação) que ele conduz pessoalmente. O restante financia custosas mordomias, que incluem:
US$10,4 milhões (US$866,6 mil por mês) em despesas com festas, alimentos, bebidas e "relações sociais";
US$320,3 mil (US$26,7 mil mensais) em roupas e sapatos;
US$151 mil (US$12,5 mil ao mês) em produtos de toilette;
US$408 mil (US$34 mil mensais) em lavanderia;
US$9,5 milhões (US$791 mil por mês) em viagens externas;
US$3,2 milhões (US$266,6 mil ao mês) em manutenção de "residências".
- Chávez discursa como revolucionário socialista e gasta como rico capitalista - diz Carlos Berrizbeitia.
As contas governamentais são opacas, com uma rotina de orçamentos paralelos - constata a Transparência Venezuela. É rarefeita a informação oficial sobre a origem dos recursos orçamentários. E notavelmente escassa a prestação de contas sobre despesas - principalmente, os gastos presidenciais.
Tudo é secundário, repete Chávez: "Não importa que não tenhamos para vestir e comer, importa é salvar a revolução". Por ela, já gastou US$23 bilhões na expropriação e criação de empresas. Mas o "modelo produtivo" fracassa - e por total ineficiência, constatam os economistas Richard Obuchi, Anabella Abadi e Barbara Liraem no livro "Gestión en rojo" (gestão em vermelho) sobre 16 empresas "socializadas".
Dependência cada vez maior de importações dos EUA
Relatam o caso da Venirauto, criada por Venezuela e Irã em 2006 para montar carros populares. Poderia fabricar 10 mil por ano, mas só conseguiu montar 2.017 veículos em cinco anos. Já a Rialca, que produzia 30 mil rodas de alumínio por semana, está paralisada desde a expropriação em 2008. Há pouco ganhou novo projeto: vai virar camelódromo. A Los Andes era a maior em leite e derivados até ser estatizada. Agora opera a 20% da capacidade, e o país sofre escassez de leite e derivados. Esse "modelo produtivo" exige subsídios crescentes. A Sucre trabalha com custo de US$1 por quilo e vende açúcar aos mercados estatais a US$0,25. O Tesouro banca a diferença de US$0,75. Nas cidades há racionamento.
Ironia da história: na crise, a Venezuela de Chávez está cada vez mais dependente dos EUA. Em 2010, comprou do país US$26 bilhões, grande parte em alimentos. As compras devem aumentar em 20%.

The Palacio de Miraflores (Spanish for "Miraflores Palace") is the official workplace of the President of Venezuela. It is located on Urdaneta Avenue, Libertador Municipality in Caracas.
It was started on 27 April 1884 under the direction of Giuseppe Orsi and was intended as the family residence of Joaquin Crespo. Also participated: painter Julián Oñate, Juan Bautista Sales and his team of esculptors, decorators, wood cavers, constructors - who erected the European-style Miraflores Palace. To decorate it, furniture was imported from Barcelona, Spain; a bronze rosette was commissioned to the Marrera foundry and 24 bronze lamps were ordered to Requena brothers at San Juan de los Morros, Guárico state. In 1911, the national administration acquired the property from General Félix Galavis at a cost of five houndred thousand bolívares, and Miraflores Palace became the official presidential residence and office.
After many modifications, the current palace presents fountains encompassed by corridors and halls, such as the Peruvian Sun Hall, decorated with gold donated by the government of Peru; the Joaquín Crespo Hall, with its four gigantic rock-crystal mirrors; Vargas Swamp, which conmemorates the Battle of Boyacá, in Colombia; the Ambassador Hall, where diplomats are received and Ayacucho Hall, in honor of Marshall Antonio José de Sucre and the battle who starred.[1]

Interior of the palace in the beginning of the XX century

Miraflores facade in 1930
Originallly, Miraflores Palace served as presidential residence to Cipriano Castro, and then Juan Vicente Gómez, who occupied it until 1913. From 1914 to 1922, it functioned as office to the provisional administration of Victorino Márquez Bustillos. In 1923, Miraflores witnessed the murder of Vice-president Juan Crisóstomo Gómez, brother of President Juan Vicente Gómez. From 1931 to 1935, the palace was inhabited, guarded by the army. During the governments of Eleazar López Contreras and Isaías Medina Angarita, the presidential office is modified. In 1945, Rómulo Betancourt became the first president who identifies the seat of government as Miraflores Palace, replacing the name of Federal Palace.
In the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez, architect Luis Malaussena introduces radical changes inside the palace, eliminating part of Crespo's era decoration. The successive administrations, made some additions: a Japanese garden, an administrative building, the Ayacucho Hall, the Bicentennial square. In the first period of Rafael Caldera (1969–1974), starts the construction of the Administrative Building. In February 1979, the palace is declare National Historical Monument. During the government of Luis Herrera Campins (1979–1984), is concluded the Administrative Building and the Bicentennial square. In the mid 1980s, is extended the area for the Council of Ministers. During the 1990s and 2000s, began a process for the restoration of the original aspects of the palace. Miraflores has sometimes been the residence of the president of Venezuela, although La Casona is the actual official residence. In February 2007, opened the Simón Bolívar Press Room.

[edit] Miraflores Historical Archive

With a volume of documents of nearly 15 million pages, the Miraflores Historical Archive has the mission to preserve the files of Venezuelan presidents. This process began in 1959, when Secretary of Presidency Ramón José Velásquez, undertook the rescue and recovery of files corresponding to the governments of Cipriano Castro (1899–1908) and Juan Vicente Gómez (1908–1935), located in the basement of Presidential Guard. This action marked the beginning of the processes of recovery and preservation of documentary information generated by the presidency. The documentary fund filed documents from 1899 until 1983. The different document types that comprise the fund, originated a rating system divided in chronological sections.[2]
