Mexico breaks domestic gas sales monopoly

Mexico, Aug 18 (Prensa Latina) Mexico is definitively breaking the monopoly of domestic gas sellers and in this regard work is progressing for the loading of portable cylinders, said today the director of Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex), Octavio.

The official supervised in Hidalgo the works of the workshop for the loading of portable cylinders of 20 and 30 kilograms of the state company Gas Bienestar on new tariffs approved by the government, much lower than the current prices of individuals, which rise every month.

Romero Oropeza verified the operational tests and the employee training phase at the Liquefied Gas Distribution Terminals in Tepeji del Rio and Tula.

The head of the Mexican oil company pointed out that in the first stage, 4,800 cylinders per day will be filled, which will initially be distributed in the poorest neighborhoods.

With the gas station operation, the government of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador seeks to benefit the population with limited resources, in view of the increase in the price of energy and the abuse of private companies controlled by five firms that monopolize all the distribution in the country with profits of billions of pesos.
