Hunger as a leitmotiv of the Maduro government (Apporea.org)

Hunger as a leitmotiv of the Maduro government
Zuleika Matamoros / Latin American CER for Aporrea.org | Monday, 05/07/2018


MAN IN VISIBLE STATE OF MALNUTRITION; TAKEN ON MAY 6, 2018 ON LARA AVENUE WITH ANZOATEGUI, CARABOBO STATE.

translated from Spanish

Make long lines to buy a product of the food basket at the price that corresponds, change the pattern of food, exclude the consumption of proteins, think what to buy with a salary that is below the price of a chicken, cook without condiments or dressings, eat monotonously, have no possibility of acquiring milk for the children of the family, wait for the sale of carbohydrates through the CLAP (also insufficient to feed a family for more than a week), measure the portions of food and always be with the feeling of hunger, are just some of the experiences of ordinary citizens every day, and is that the so-called "food sovereignty" is simply a propaganda resource of the government to try to hide the serious situation that afflicts the Venezuelans

On this occasion, the Focus on the Latin American Reality Studies Center (CER Latinoamericana) focuses on the theme: "Hunger as leitmotiv of the Maduro government" , the input was collected in various personal interviews with individuals from popular sectors between the ages from 29 to 52 years old, about how they live the economic crisis, the pulverization of their salaries, the excessive increase in the prices of food and the purchase of CLAP bags.

*Apporea is the online Chavista equivalent of DU and the Democratic Party in the United States. It exists to exhalt all things Chavismo. That this level of contempt is being tolerated shows how low Maduro et al has sunk in their quest to retain power and spread their "Bolivarian Revolution".
