Three distribution sites of Mexican bottler Coca-Cola Femsa continued blockaded by former freight employees and concessionaries.

Rodrigo Anzola, the corporate manager of Legal and Institutional Affairs, said that clashes continued in the western cities of Acarigua, Mérida and La Fría, where they were waiting for judicial and security authorities to take action.

Anzola noted that the company regained 90 percent of the control over distribution of commodities.

He regretted that the bottler could not sell 1.76 million of boxes, accounting for USD 8.9 million.

Works flying high

05:09 PM. Economy. If any country has cashed in on the Bolivarian revolution, that is Brazil, particularly the private companies of the southern neighbor. Over the past five years, it has been awarded contracts for works to be carried out in Venezuela for over USD 14 billion. This puts it as the first recipient of government-to-government contracts, that is, without bidding, since Hugo Chávez took office.
