Learn a little about the actual situation in Venezuela

in venezuela •  7 years ago 

  I would like to talk to everyone about my life or better about our life in Venezuela and the awesome things that we need to do for survival here.  

We can’t go to the supermarket as a normal people to buy food, no, the governament gave us a box of food per month, but this box of food only lasts a week for us and we need to wait a month o maybe two month for get the other box.

 
Every family recieve one box, this box have a cheap cost for all, but you will recieve de the same quantity of food if you have one or nine brothers. Actually in some places you need to have "carnet de la patria", if you don have this maybe you will don't recieve the box of food.

This document identifies you as a governament supporter, this is diferent to our ID.

Going back to the subject of food, the supermarkets are really empty:

The products of first necessity has been disappeared, because the government has expropriate most of food industries and they have made a mess with this, because they put in front of this industries inexpert people, just people who support them and no people with experience. Some of these industries has closed their doors due the bad administration.

The small quantity of industries that are still here producing food still do with limited production because the lack of raw material exported, this is due to the difficult acquisition of foreign currency for the private companies. some private companies decide closed their doors because everyday the situation is more hard for they.

Due the limited production of food in the country, the supermarkets just can but food for the sell  like a rice, flour, pasta, sugar, oil and milk, those are the most common products to the people want. There are longer lines of peoples to buy this food with cheap cost.


Another option is to go to supermarket chains in some cases they have imported food buy this have a really expensive price:

But if you win the minimum salary here you can't buy food in this supermarkets because your minimum salary si: 2.555.000Bs (less than 2,5$) and a kilogram of imported flour have a cost of 1.000.000Bs(1$) or more this is a example, only the rich people buy food on these supermarkets.

I hope that the people understand the situation in my country with the food, I will be talking some about this in the next article with other concept that is created here to people that take aventage of the bad situation of some people just for their benefit.

Great post. That extra ID "carnet de la patria" which you lose when you are no longer seen as a government supporter is outrageous. Using it to cut you off from food is an even more outrageous means to keep people compliant. A simple mind might even think that it is your own "fault" if you lose your "carnet de la patria" and punish you with your disregard even more.
