The president of Primazol, Carlos Eduardo Siu, together with a group of workers, strongly rejected the statements of the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, who said he had information that in the incinerated warehouse located in Maracaibo, Zulia state, “they mixed coca paste to make it cocaine.”

“We categorically reject all the causes and accusations that are being made and that are tarnishing my name. We are a family that has been in the country for more than 80 years, said Siu in his message posted through his Instagram account.

He also asserted that Primazol is a company of importers and distributors of raw materials for all industries. “We don't manufacture products and none of them go directly to the shelf, all of them must be transformed by the country's basic industries,” he explained.

“President Pedro, we don't pack or manufacture any type of narcotic here, we need it to stop massaging our name, which has taken us so many years from my father to my person to lift. My entire team has been vilified for the past three days,” he said.

In the early morning of December 24, there was a strong explosion at the Primazol company, located in the municipality of San Francisco, in the state of Zulia, on the border with Colombia

“When I arrived, the fire that started in the back of the raps where pet, polyethylene and PVC resins are stored, was thus controlled, fortunately it did not reach the second warehouse where the raw materials of food and beverages and veterinary pharmaceutical supplies are kept,” he said.
