| Ibero-American businessmen condemn attack on private property |
| 2010-12-04 |
| [El Universal] The presidents of the Ibero-American Business Organizations, who are holding a meeting in Buenos Aires, condemned recent attacks on the Venezuelan business sector. In a statement, the businessmen rejected the attacks on several executives of Venezuela's main private business chamber (the Venezuelan Federation of Trade and Industry Chamber, Fedecamaras) last October 27, when a group of gunnies tried to kidnap them. They also rejected "the serious and permanent harassment of the Venezuelan private sector, which has translated into a government policy based on seizures and expropriations of business in all the sectors of the economy. This is leading not only to the destruction of the national production system, but to the loss of hundreds of thousands jobs." Business organizations have urged the government to open a dialogue with Venezuelan entrepreneurs and resolve the pending cases that have been reported to the International Labor Organization (ILO) by business and labor organizations. They also requested the International Organization of Employers (OIE) to "make all efforts to create, as soon as possible, an ILO Commission of Inquiry to examine the allegations of violation of freedom of association against employers and workers in the last decade" in Venezuela. They also urged the OIE "to use all existing international bodies, particularly the United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society Commission on Human Rights and the OAS Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to discuss in those bodies the hostile policies and attacks on private property and business leaders." |
