The paquetazo

Hi friends steemians, we arrived in September and already the paquetozo of Maduro ravages our town. The measures announced by the government, on August 17, make up a right-wing, neo-liberal package, which carries the full weight of the crisis on the backs of the Venezuelan people.

Already the scandalous prices of the supplies of first necessity were imposed on the consumer, there is agreement with the private sectors to scale them all. The prices of public transport were imposed on the people without any kind of consultation.

The new salary announced by the paquetazo has not yet entered into force, and already the government-recognized scoreboard, DolarToday, indicates that the sovereign Bolivar was devalued by 45%. Even the government celebrates in "periscope" that the last Dicom auction is close to the dollar dollar mark, bravo by the government !, the bolivar devalues quickly, but now dares to recognize it. It's already something.

Private operators have opted to dollarize prices and services, the argument is that in dollars is the same as abroad, even cheaper, the problem is that the Venezuelan continues to win in devalued Bolivares that, at the change of the scoreboard, is around $ 1.36. The same Maduro said in his speech, as if he had not been the president in these years of disaster: do not understand how the salary fell from $ 300 per month to only one dollar? , one does not finish to understand if it is only Maduro's incompetence or cynicism, or they are both together.

Private operators, can no longer be accused of being part of any war or conspiracy, since, not only do they have the blessing of the government with which they agree on the prices and costs to continue to deplete the people, but because, by adjusting their economy to the dollar, they are simply doing the same thing that the government does with the announced increase of gasoline at an international price. The salary increase announced by Maduro will not even be enough to fill a 40 liter gasoline tank at an international price: who has 417 million to fill only one tank of fuel per week?

International reports, specialized in the use of cryptocurrencies, as well as some other neglected spokesman of the government, recognize that there is no evidence of transactions with the Petro, the Superintendency of Banks, or even the base of the entire strategy of the economic package. of Maduro, the Petro is a bluff, an announced disaster.
