GM has been in that country for DECADES.
What should the CEO have done when Chavez took over? Close it? It survived 10 years of Chavez and several years of Maduro, this was unexpected.
This should be a wake up call to other foreign companies to PLAN for anything similar.
“You know damn well what I came here for!” he snapped. “I’ve heard some incredible things about our trains in Mexico.”
“What things?”
“What sort of rolling stock are you using down there?”
“The worst I could find.”
“You admit that?”
“I’ve stated it on paper in the reports I sent you.”

my guess is that there have been essentially no real operations at the plant for months, maybe years. Probably stripped the plant of whatever they could some time ago. It’s what the oil companies did right before they were all nationalized.
