Delacy Rodriguez Announces Plan to Privatize Venezuelan State-Owned Companies Venezuela's interim president, Delacy Rodriguez, has announced a review of public assets deemed non-essential, with the possibility of transferring them to the private sector or returning them to their former owners. The move is another sign of the dismantling of Chavista's economic policies. According to VocalPolitics, the announcement was made in a televised statement on Oct. 29, with Rodriguez stating that the process is already underway and that private property has constitutional guarantees. Since April, a committee set up by the government has been examining state-owned companies, land and other public assets to determine which will remain under state control, be privatized or liquidated.
