Annualized Inflation: 31.4%. Food, 47.3%. What crisis? Veja

Venezuela has the highest inflation in Latin America

SALMERÓN VICTOR - EL UNIVERSAL


Between May 2007 and May this year inflation recorded a jump of 31.4% in Venezuela, a magnitude which is the highest in Latin America, in fact, official figures show that in the same period, Mexico collects 4.95% Peru 5.39%, 5.58% Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay 6.39% 7.2%.

Nicaragua, with inflation at 21.74% to 16.84% and Bolivia are the countries of the Americas that are closer to Venezuela.

Although the increase in food prices shakes the world again, the Venezuelan mismatch of proportion. In the last twelve months the cost of food in Caracas shown an explosive increase of 47.3% while in Colombia the impact in the same period is 9.73%, Chile 19.4%, 22.74% Costa Rica and Peru 9.2%.

Surrounded by mouth inflation and economic slowdown from 8.8% to 4.8% in the first quarter, Hugo Chavez announced a series of measures last week.

to contain prices of medicine was to eliminate the tax on financial transactions, a charge which forced companies to pay 1.5 per hundred Bolivars to move through their bank accounts and led to the direct transfer costs on the final price of the products.

While this step is seen as positive, analysts not lose sight that this is merely an effect on time, ie, inflation may step down from 4 to 2, but will continue the rise with the same force next month.

Last year, thanks to the reduction of VAT, the March inflation was negative 0.7% in April and May but quickly regained the upward trend with increases of 1.4 and 1.7%.

disease Packed with resources
oil sheen, the government of Hugo Chávez high dose injected money into the economy generating an excess demand that fuels inflation.
To try to contain the escalation, the Government controlled the cost of a wide range of products, but then production was strongly discouraged and shortage gripped the markets and supplies.

Slammed by the absence of food, the economic cabinet had no alternative but to allow adjustments of between 30 and 84% in products that affect the diet of the population with fewer resources, such as chicken, rice and corn flour.

ineffective
Central Bank statistics indicate that Venezuela's price control away from eliminating inflation has only served to dam.

In the first five months of this year unregulated products accumulate around the average jump country of 12.3% and those subject to price controls 12.5%, ie inflation is higher in the goods which in theory should increase.

The greatest mismatch occurs in Maracaibo, where controlled products accumulate at the end of May increased 12.7% and those within the free play of supply and demand of only 9.9%.

Facing the loss of effectiveness of price control by the economic cabinet has taken other steps to try to deflate the balloon inflation.

medicine has focused on the belief that inflation is mainly due to many Bs trying to buy a few products, so you need to stop expansion of money.

To this end the government slowed the pace of public spending, increased interest rates and sold dollar bonds to absorb market Bs, but the result was not expected. Analysis

investment banks suggest that the fault is that until now have not taken effective action on the supply side, to stimulate production and enable appropriately meet demand.

The President, in a strategic shift, called last week to the private sector to a "productive partnership" and tabled a fund of one billion dollars to finance investment projects.

However, this figure represents only 1.85% of total investment, public and private, were in the country in 2007.

Central Bank data indicate that the ability to limit production work.

Flawless Interview: Yon Goicoechea PDVSA gives milk

A young hero

The student leader says Venezuela needs less ideology and more pragmatism
to be re- a democracy


Camila Pereira

Germán Roig

"The ideological debate takes the focus
the central question: right now, who opposes Chavez is fighting for freedom "

Despite her young age - just 23 years - the law student Yon Goicoechea is one of the principal leaders of opposition to the government of President Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. His performance in front of the student movement was considered by observers to the decisive defeat of Chavez in the referendum that would have given more power and further limited the freedom of Venezuelans. In their struggle for democracy, Goicoechea received last month, a prize of $ 500 000 U.S. Cato Institute, based in Washington. Threatened with kidnapping and even death by Chávez, he proceeded to take some safety measures in their day-to-day. Never leave the street alone and change the mobile number every fifteen days to avoid being bugged. Still, living in fear of being victim of a violent act by the government. In an interview to Veja, Goicoechea reveals a discordant voice in the student movement, criticizes the fact that these movements receive government money, like in Brazil, and is against invasions of the rectory as a protest.

See - You just won an award in the United States for fighting for freedom in their country. What was the reaction from the government?
Goicoechea - The Communication Ministry has used state television to broadcast the view that, in granting the award to an opponent of the regime, the United States would be making a new attempt to destabilize governments throughout Latin America. An ideological nonsense that shocks, first of all, the anachronism.

See - What is your opinion about that anti-Americanism?
Goicoechea - is unacceptable the fact that anti-American philosophy still have room at a time when countries are increasingly close to each other. While they are open and clearly benefit from that, Venezuela is isolated from the world. One still can not understand where the hatred against a model that finally worked. Gave lectures at Harvard and Georgetown, both in the United States, and I saw firsthand how some of the best universities in the world. Instead, we learn from the Americans, rather than repudiate them. Notice that there is very little objective criticism from Chavez in the United States - are pure rhetoric. Would love to see Venezuelans living as well as Americans.

See - You often criticized by other students to advocate such ideas?
Goicoechea - Yes, all the time. These criticisms come from a minority of students who still supports Chavez. Are motivated primarily by an ideological discourse of the left. According to these students, I would be a typical representative of the right. With a discussion so outdated, they stop paying attention to the central question: who opposes the Chavez government is fighting for the possibility of any Venezuelan who defend well understand and believe it without being punished, as is common today. To overcome a scenario so late, we need pragmatism - and the insistence on ideological debate only disturbs.

See - Brazilian student leaders, especially those linked to the National Union of Students (UNE), has declared unconditional support for President Hugo Chavez. They also are being more pragmatic than ideological?
Goicoechea - Absolutely. I think there is indefensible that the student movement leaders who come out in defense of the authoritarian practices of the Venezuelan government. I prefer to believe that they did by a profound ignorance of the reforms proposed by Chavez. If they were better informed, these Brazilian students would not have taken a position that goes against the diversity of opinions and individual freedoms. How to be in favor of reforms that would take such basic rights of people like to choose their rulers and even the to choose the profession who wish to follow? It makes no sense that students have sympathy for such views.

See - Did you receive any demonstration in support of student movements in Brazil?
Goicoechea - None. But it would have been helpful. International pressure against Chavez can play a key role for Venezuela to be, again, a democracy. Unfortunately, some student leaders Latin America, as well as academia in general, are paralyzed by ideological discourse. They waste time discussing Karl Marx's ideas and overcome the centuries, when they could be fighting for more practical and relevant issues. This old debate makes no sense anywhere in the world - much less in Venezuela, where a lack of basic necessities Article: freedom of expression.

See - In Brazil, students often invade rectories in protest. Do you agree?
Goicoechea - No. In a democracy such as Brazil, have institutions strong enough to resolve the impasse, and we must resort to them. The order and respect for law principles are not only desirable but absolutely necessary in modern societies. Even in an authoritarian government like Venezuela, where institutions are less transparent and dead, I think demonstrations so extreme as to be illegal shall operate only as a last resort.

See - What you suffered retaliation by the government when he began to lead anti-Chavez movement?
Goicoechea - were so many that I lost count. I've received calls at home with threats of kidnapping and death. This extended to my family. I have also caught in the middle of the street. Last year, during a meeting to discuss the reforms proposed by Chavez, a few students who supported the government beat me up. What was to be a debate as any other became a demonstration of intolerance. I ended up in hospital with a black eye and bloody nose. On another occasion, placed an explosive on stage when I spoke. They do this to scare me, and sometimes succeed. Not to be afraid of dying in a situation like the present. My relatives live in terror at the idea that something worse could happen to me. For more than a time watching television when my mother was surprised by scenes in which I was the target of attacks in broad daylight.

See - In general, who are the aggressors?
Goicoechea - People linked to some of the radical groups in support of Chavez. They practice human rights violations in Venezuela without any kind of shame. My situation worsened by the negative propaganda that the government is doing against me in newspapers, radio and television. I've been called everything from a fascist, enemy of the fatherland, developer of ultra-right and even a puppet of American Empire. In my country, I am treated by the government as a bad example.

See - How do you protect yourself?
Goicoechea - never stand alone in public places. Change the number from my cell phone every two weeks and I no longer have landline phone to avoid being bugged. At times more tense, as in the weeks before the vote on the referendum on Chavez, I stopped sleeping at home. Each night, a friend asked for asylum different. Living well is not exactly good, but I know I am not exaggerating when taking measures for my safety.

See - You think of leaving Venezuela and live in another country?
Goicoechea - No. After World War II, my grandfather fled the chaos that was to Spain to seek a better life Venezuela. Over the years, Spain has become prosperous and grandfather suffered a lot from not having been there to see these changes and participate in them. All due differences in history, Venezuela is now also a sort of scorched earth. I may sound idealistic, but do not ever want to feel the same frustration from my grandfather, even though all this repression hit me so directly.

See - The government interferes in the universities of Venezuela?
Goicoechea - He tries all the time. Some universities are now directly controlled by the government. There, all the deans and directors are pro-Chavez and arrived there by political appointment. This applies to the Bolivarian University, an invention of Chavez himself, and of UNEF, led by the Armed Forces. These institutions are under pressure from the government. Students and teachers are afraid to express opinions that may be misinterpreted by the authorities and result in expulsion, dismissal and other reprisals. Opposing Chavez in one of these universities is unthinkable. Fortunately, they are still the minority in Venezuela. But the number may increase.

See - Why do you say that?
Goicoechea - The government recently launched a proposal unbelievable. Chavez wants the selection process universities continue to be controlled by the Ministry of Education. In practice, this means that only students aligned with the government would have access to higher education. I do not believe that Chávez able topple this project. Anyway, it's scary. The government also tried to deploy a primer own schools, but failed.

See - How exactly was this booklet?
Goicoechea - Deeply ideological and xenophobic. The stated aim of the booklet was to form the "new socialist man" in the words of Chavez himself. She encouraged the children to sing songs to Simon Bolivar, the hero of national independence, and to hate the European settlers. It also erased some chapters in the history of adverse Hugo Chavez and the admiration fed the movement that led to communist dictatorships such as North Korea and Cuba. One absurdity after another. But this Chavez unable to carry on.

See - You know many people who live in fear of government in Venezuela?
Goicoechea - This is very common. In the public service, for example, you must give explicit expressions all the time to support the government to maintain employment. This happens in several ways. I know people who have often been forced to participate in public events in favor of Chavez. On these occasions, they know that if they appear, will eventually fired. Go, therefore, because they need the work. This is a brutal form of coercion. Who receives social benefits from the government suffers from something. The basic prerequisite for access to any of them is the same: to support unconditionally Hugo Chavez. Today, who makes opposition to the government in Venezuela paid a heavy price for it.

See - Where does the money to keep the student movement that you lead?
Goicoechea - The monthly contribution of students and private sector companies. They give money through a foundation run by the student movement. Government obviously has not a penny. Of course this has a direct relation with the fact that the motion be opposed to Chavez. But even if the government wanted to help us financially, I would be absolutely against it.

See - Why?
Goicoechea - not think appropriate for a student movement to keep such a close relationship with the government. By definition, such an organization must be independent. Otherwise it is unlikely to make a serious work. Sometimes, students need to stand against the government, as is happening today in Venezuela. With a financial relationship established between the two parties, the exemption is naturally compromised.

See - In Brazil, a part of UNE's budget comes from government ...
Goicoechea - For me, it is clear that this is a model doomed to failure. If I were a student in Brazil, would reflect on this.

See - You are pessimistic about the situation in Venezuela?
Goicoechea - You must make a daily effort to renew the optimism. I see, however, some positive signs on the horizon. Students who have not manifested themselves before me have tried saying that in the face of so much obscurity, they decided to protest actively. This strengthens the movement. Another good as regards the emergence of leaders in government willing to respect the laws and to dialogue with the opposition. It is at least a start.

See - What will you do with the prize of $ 500 000 which has just received?
Goicoechea - Investing in a school to train leaders in Caracas. The idea is to help build a youth with a more open mentality and, above all, focused on minimally relevant topics. It is the opposite of what is happening in Venezuela and many other Latin American countries - all with a strong inclination to matters already buried by history itself. I am distressed to see how ideological issues as outdated and hinder people today still aspire to a more modern society.
