Venezuela: Alo Presidente has become a school where auto-criticism is openhttp://www.vheadline.com/readnews.asp?id=86495

VHeadline News Editor Patrick J. O'Donoghue reports: As President Chavez stated during his 'Alo Presidente' radio show today, the show has become a school. There was plenty of debate and auto-criticism in today's show when the President critiqued Ministers and his close advisers for what he called the "scant availability" not only to take notes but even worse, to follow up petitions and works.VHeadline News Editor Patrick J. O'Donoghue reports: As President Chavez stated during his 'Alo Presidente' radio show today, the show has become a school. There was plenty of debate and auto-criticism in today's show when the President critiqued Ministers and his close advisers for what he called the "scant availability" not only to take notes but even worse, to follow up petitions and works.The President's critique was two-fold: why didn't the Minister meet up with Falcon to discuss the project and why the big difference in assessing costs?
Later, Chavez urged former Lara State Governor and current Minister of the Presidency, Luis Reyes Reyes to concert a move to secure union with current Governor Henry Falcon and warned them that the oligarchy are trying to set them up with rumors of divisions. Another discovery the President made today was to hear members of a local communal council tell him they had to travel to San Cristobal in the border state of Tachira to open their communal bank account with the state Banfoandes bank. The President quizzed Participation Social & Communes Minister Erika Farias about the bureaucracy and told her to start opening accounts in the recently nationalized Banco de Venezuela so that councils have easier access to their funds.Chavez denounced Banfoandes as holding large amounts of State money in private banks and wanted the bank director to get in touch with him. Yesterday, the Council of Economic Ministers met to discuss the situation of the banks and penetration by capitalists masquerading as Bolivarians.Another problem referred to was the fact that, while Chavez appoints ministers, the ministers appoint their own people as vice ministers ... some of whom are not up to the task they are entrusted with.

VHeadline commentarist Arthur Shaw writes: According to the proletarian media in Cuba "Venezuelan Finance Minister Ali Rodriguez asserted on Friday [November 20] that placing four banks in administration responds to repeated violations of the homeland and international law, jeopardizing the sector's stability."Administration" is a kind of takeover on entities that doesn't necessarily entail expropriation with payment of fair compensation or confiscation without such compensation ... many options are available in an administration ... Article 116 of the Venezuelan Constitution gives the State the right to confiscate "private property" of natural or legal persons where the source of the property is government corruption or drug trafficking.http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Venezuela#Chapter_V

The Friday press release from Finance Ministry didn't say exactly what the four banks were doing ... but the release makes it clear that the four banks were up to no good.
According to the release and press conference, the four banks -- Canarias, Bolivar, Provivienda, and Confederado -- "did not specify the origin of their funds, after increasing their capitals."
