After sifting through this article, it is just telling us what we already know. By decree, the government owns the mineral rights, which is held by CVG.

CVG (the government) has the right to contract out the mining, which they did to Crystallex.

The source of the article says the spirit of the decree has been violated (8 years later).

The article speaks to Russian/Chinese involvement in mining LC. Then they specifically talk down the Crystallex contract.

My summary is that Chavez is going to announce what we have been waiting for and a group of people are not happy about it.
