During the government of President Chavez, Venezuelans have experienced the deterioration of the electrical power system. Here are the points where, in our opinion, are the principal weaknesses of the Venezuelan government in terms of national electricity policy:
- It is not clear: Because the government does not explain to Venezuelans the energy crisis we face and does not admit that it is rationing the service.
- It's improvised: The electricity crisis is happening because the government did not make on time the plans for development -and maintenance- of power plants that meet the citizens' demands.
- It is irresponsible: The service is suspended arbitrarily and repeatedly, damaging a lot of electronics, but the government do not compensate the losses.
- It is Dependent: Being Venezuela an oil exporting country and an energy superpower, still today we have to import electricity from Colombia.
- It is unjust: Because Chavez builds power plants in other countries but neglects this need of the Venezuelans.
- It's exclusionary and discriminatory: Because the government ordered the most drastic energy rationing in the interior of the country, so that Caracas and major cities can have electricity. Thereby increasing the development gap and centralism.
