The government announced that Pemex in 2023 he had Profits for 110,000 million pesos, but when analyzing its financial statements we realized that those profits are falsesince they do not take into account the subsidies that he receives from government.
In 2023 Pemex need subsidies to face their high operating costs for 869 billion pesos.
If we do not include those subsidies In his results he had a revenue of 110 billion in 2023, but if we include them it suffered a loss net for 759 million, an amount greater than that exercised by the ISSSTE or the Ministry of Communications and Transportation.
In Texas there are oil companies that sold higher quality gasoline to the public in 2023 at a price 24% lower than that of the Mexican state monopoly.
One of the causes is that consumers in the US have alternatives as to which companies to buy gasoline from, in Mexico there are no options.
Or buy Pemex gasoline or they buy gasoline from Pemex, either at their gas stations or at other gas stations that have a different name, but they buy gasoline from Pemex, which is the only wholesale gasoline seller in Mexico.
The leftist rulers use the myth that gasoline belongs to the people, and there are those who believe it. Go to a gas station and tell them you’re part of town and ask them to give you a few liters for free, and they’ll laugh at your expense.
Pemex does not belong to the people, it belongs to the bureaucratic directors appointed by the president, whether or not they know about the extraction, refining or distribution of oil.
Pemex is not a help for the economy. It has the highest amount of expenses without a clear destination, as pointed out by the Superior Audit of the Federation.
Pemex and the CFE do not help the country’s economy, they weaken it with their losses, corruption, diversions and poor service, but they make several of their senior managers and some of their suppliers rich, who receive money from them by paying them for their services. products or services, prices higher than those that exist in the market.
If someone talks about the solution being to privatize Pemex and for there to be competition, they “tear their clothes” like the Pharisees, and proclaim that privatization goes against independence and national security, and they describe those of us who call for the privatization of the oil monopolies and electricity, and promote competition.
In the United States, the many private producers and distributors of gasoline and electricity compete to provide better service and prices to consumers to attract customers and have not lost autonomy.
In Mexico, due to inefficient state monopolies on electricity and gasoline, we have to import gasoline and electricity from the United States.
