Pemex is a state owned oil company created by the seizure, nationalisation and expropriation of all private oil companies in Mexico in 1938 by decree of former revolutionary general Cárdenas. It is currently ranked the 7th most polluting company in the world. HTH

PEMEX is state-owned. It is literally socialism.

Pemex has been a state-owned, nationalized company since the 1930s. It is literally an example of the state seizing the means of production from capitalism. https://t.co/HJXaHPxo2v
