Unions dismiss Sunday detention of four oil workers accused of provoking the oil spill from the Oriente secondary recovery plant of the Jusepín operational complex on the Guarapiche River, Monagas, and registered Friday. "The government rushed with the measure," said Iván Freites, director of the Single Federation of Petroleum Workers of Venezuela.
"In his eagerness to make himself quickly guilty of an accident that happened due to lack of maintenance in the factory, these workers were arrested for sabotage without the right to defend themselves or to comply with the investigation protocols for this type of accident. "
The unionist explained that the normal procedure is 6 months. "And only to find the cause takes 10 days," he said. The next step is the investigation process by interviewing all those involved: operators, supervisory staff and community witnesses, as well as technicians and specialists.
Most investigations, he added, lead to recommendations because the accident was not due to negligence or human error, but to a technical failure. "In the case of the Venezuelan oil industry, the general lack of maintenance of the facilities is obvious: they do not execute the preventive and corrective maintenance plan, especially the pipes and pumps, because it There are no spare parts or vehicles to perform the inspections. He insisted that the PDVSA authorities "do not assume their responsibility but criminalize the workers, which will increase the exodus of staff (since 25,000 employees have left since 2017) because nobody wants to be accused of what problem is present in the industry. "The people arrested for this spill are Luis Jiménez and Yoe Richer González Rondón, respectively directors of the plant of gas and water and production of Pdvsa El Furrial; and José Gyvenshy José Sanabria Barreto and Irwin José Rendón Brito, the console operators who were on duty at the factory in Jusepín when the accident occurred,
The four workers remained at the l '. Order of the prosecutor's office detained in the National Anti-extortion and Kidnapping National Guard in Maturín, whose headquarters is located in the facilities of Pdvsa Gas in the capital of the state of Monagas.
