"A LICENSE TO
STEAL" -- Part 1
Photos from Infrastructure Inspection Trip
of 19 January 2009
by Henry Posner III, Chairman, Ferrovias Guatemala
|
|

The systemic looting of an irreplaceable national asset is a crime in
progress best documented in photographs. These photos speak for
themselves as perhaps the most visible evidence of the effects of the
declaration of "Lesivo" against Ferrovias Guatemala by the
Government of Guatemala.
That this would occur in an era of high fuel prices, increased concern
about the environment, and renewed focus on infrastructure as a driver
of economic development speaks louder than anything that I could
personally say or do.
Yes, this has been consistently reported to the government and we will
continue to do so.
Henry Posner III
Chairman, Ferrovias Guatemala
