Viagem à terra do petróleo
Saiu hoje no caderno Mundo reportagem que fiz nesta semana em Chubut, na Patagônia, sobre a “terra do petróleo” (www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/mundo/41243-cidade-da-ypf-comemora-expropriacao.shtml, para assinantes).
Comodoro Rivadavia foi o primeiro lugar na Argentina onde se encontrou petróleo, em 1907. Hoje, a cidade vive a nostalgia do tempo em que a petroleira YPF era estatal e provia quase tudo a seus orgulhosos trabalhadores. Também convive com os problemas sociais causados pelas demissões em massa que ocorreram quando a empresa passou para as mãos da iniciativa privada, nos anos 90.

Hoje, a cidade, que ainda vive do petróleo, está tomada por uma grande expectativa com relação à estatização da empresa. Viajar até lá foi importante para entender o tão contestado argumento argentino que defende a medida do governo. Difícil encontrar, entre os habitantes entrevistados, alguém que fosse contra a lei de expropriação.

Para compreender melhor como vivem as províncias petroleiras, uma dica é o novo, e ainda inédito no Brasil, filme do cineasta e deputado Fernando “Pino” Solanas, “Oro Negro”, que pode ser visto na íntegra também via Youtube.
Solanas, realizador de clássicos latino-americanos como “Tango: Exílio de Gardel” e “A Nuvem”, aqui mergulha no universo dos homens e mulheres do petróleo, descendentes dos primeiros exploradores da região. O cineasta, que é um crítico do governo de Cristina Kirchner, defende a estatização da YPF e fez os discursos mais entusiastas sobre o tema nas últimas semanas de discussão no Congresso.
Thank you for sharing this first-class write-up. Very inspiring! (as always, btw)
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
I was very happy to find this site on yahoo.I wished to say thanks to you with regard to this good article!! I definitelyliked every little bit of it and I’ve you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.

Ha ha… I was just surfing around and took a look at these responses. I can’t believe that there’s still this much attention. Thanks for writing about this.
What are you stating, man? I understand everyones got their own thoughts and opinions, but really? Listen, your weblog is cool. I like the energy you put into it, particularly with the vids and the pics. But, come on. Theres gotta be a better way to say this, a way that doesnt make it seem like everybody here is stupid!
When this era will stop…i mean the era where movies looks like more like fantasy video? games and video games becoming more real like movies…
There is certainly a lot to learn about this subject. I love all of the points you made.
Good day! I could have sworn I’ve been to this web site before but after browsing through many of the posts I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely pleased I found it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back frequently!
This is the perfect website for everyone who wishes to understand this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally would want to…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject which has been discussed for years. Excellent stuff, just excellent!
Agreed…? but I’d pick Librium over Valium any day. Much more subtle.

What you said made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little content? I mean, I dont want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something to maybe get peoples attention? Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.
