Esta nueva orden del Tesoro es muy importante. Va mucho más allá de la empresa de Betancourt: las operaciones autorizadas con PDVSA quedan sometidas a una estrecha supervisión estadounidense. Los contratos deberán resolver sus disputas en jurisdicciones autorizadas por EEUU y, sobre todo, los pagos no irán directamente al Gobierno venezolano, sino a los fondos especiales controlados por el Tesoro o a las cuentas que Washington determine. Eso limita mucho el poder de Delcy: puede gobernar Venezuela, pero no disponer libremente de esos ingresos. Y es clave para Citgo, porque evita que el control político de Caracas se traduzca automáticamente en control sobre activos y flujos financieros en Estados Unidos. Washington abre el negocio petrolero, pero mantiene la llave del dinero. https://t.co/10vxpWAEEj #Venezuela #PDVSA #TesoroUSA

🚨 | La embajada de EEUU en Venezuela llevó a cabo un monitoreo de la reacción de la opinión pública venezolana al acuerdo de EEUU con el régimen de Delcy Rodríguez y a la entrevista del secretario Rubio con Novelli. La conclusión, compartida por error —y a los pocos minutos eliminada— en un grupo de prensa de la embajada, fue la siguiente: "La entrevista del secretario Rubio lo convirtió en tendencia en Venezuela, aunque la reacción en las redes sociales es abrumadoramente negativa (entre el 70 % y el 75 % de comentarios críticos). La mayoría de los comentaristas descartan sus declaraciones como una estrategia para controlar el daño, sospechando que el acuerdo petrolero de EEUU enriquece a los miembros del régimen en lugar de ser un trato transparente. La frustración generalizada se centra en la percepción de que Washington está priorizando los recursos energéticos y la estabilidad a corto plazo por encima de una transición democrática rápida y completa. Específicamente, los usuarios están profundamente preocupados por la falta de fechas electorales firmes, la falta de resolución del tema de los presos políticos y el retraso en el regreso de Machado". #Venezuela #DerechosHumanos #Politica
En 2017, una empresa de Alejandro Betancourt empezó a hacer lobby en Washington para abrirse camino en el entorno de Trump, vendiendo su cercanía al chavismo. En 2019, Betancourt recibió en Madrid a Rudy Giuliani, entonces abogado personal del presidente. Lo contrató para si mismo. De investigado por fiscales en varios países a hombre clave de Trump en el nuevo negocio petrolero venezolano: esa es la historia, y también la razón de tanta polémica ahora. https://t.co/cKCK0rQcW9 #Trump #Venezuela #Política
