On sait que Chavez, petit malin, a lanc\u00e9 un programme d’aide \u00e9conomique aux pauvres de la grande puissance nomm\u00e9e USA. Ce programme consiste notamment en des fournitures \u00e0 prix tr\u00e8s r\u00e9duits de p\u00e9trole v\u00e9n\u00e9zu\u00e9lien. Chavez avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 offert une aide (don de p\u00e9trole) \u00e0 des victimes de Katrina. Depuis le programme a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis sur pied et lanc\u00e9. (Les pr\u00e9cisions sont donn\u00e9es par un article publi\u00e9 sur le site du New Standard<\/a> et repris par le site Venezuelanalysis.com<\/a>.) \u00ab Over the Thanksgiving holiday, the first of Venezuela’s oil-for-the-poor programs in the US was launched. <\/em>[Venezuelan oil company] Citgo struck a deal with three nonprofit organizations in the Bronx to deliver 5 million gallons of heating oil at 45 percent below the market price. The deal will amount to a savings of $4 million for the 8,000 low-income households slated to benefit from the plan.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Citgo has made a similar arrangement with Citizens Energy Corp. in Boston for the sale and distribution of 12 million gallons, saving low-income and elderly residents there a total of $10 million. The company’s website says that it expects to expand the program to other boroughs in New York City and that it is exploring the possibility of offering discounted fuel to residents in Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tMais le cas qui nous arr\u00eate ici est celui de Chicago. L’article cit\u00e9 rapporte que la porte-parole de la CTA (Chicago Transit Authority), qui a re\u00e7u l’offre v\u00e9n\u00e9zu\u00e9lienne (du p\u00e9trole \u00e0 40-50% moins cher \u00e0 condition qu’il aille \u00e0 des pauvres), a annonc\u00e9 que cette organisation ne donnait pas suite. Cette position est d’autant plus surprenante que le budget de Chicago est en grave crise, au point o\u00f9 les transports en commun vont \u00eatre augment\u00e9s de 25%, mettant ces m\u00eames pauvres dans des situations tr\u00e8s d\u00e9licates. (\u00ab Linda Cox, works a minimum-wage job and has been a Public Aid recipient for 15 years. She also relies heavily on public transportation. I only earn $560 a month and of that, over $200 a month goes to my bus fare, Cox told The NewStandard. I have a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old who also need to get to school. If they change the prices and take away transfers, there are going to be a lot of days missed. I already see no money at the end of the month.<\/em> \u00bb)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tEt maintenant, l’explication. CTA d\u00e9pend des subsides du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, au contraire des organisations priv\u00e9es qui interviennent dans les autres march\u00e9s. Que s’est-il pass\u00e9? Qu’a fait le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral? D\u00e9tails de l’explication : \u00ab Another difference between the Chicago offer and the programs enacted in the Northeast is that Citgo proposed to work with a government agency, rather than nonprofit organizations. The CTA relies on the US federal government which is in a constant war of words with Venezuelan President Chavez for much of its funding. In fact, just weeks after Citgo made its offer to the CTA, Congress signed the Federal Transportation Appropriations bill, allocating $89 million in infrastructure project funds the CTA had been seeking for years.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Representatives from the US State Department and city officials, including Aldermen involved in the negotiations and the Chicago Mayor’s Office, refused to respond to queries about whether international politics played any part in the CTA’s rejection of Citgo’s offer.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 30 d\u00e9cembre 2005 \u00e0 18H11<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On sait que Chavez, petit malin, a lanc\u00e9 un programme d’aide \u00e9conomique aux pauvres de la grande puissance nomm\u00e9e USA.
