Venezuela: El Pueblo queue up outside restaurant to eat... garbage (PHOTOS)

People eat garbage from Punta Grill restaurant (Photos)
Jan 18, 2018 6:11 pm

Through social networks several images were published in which you can see a group of about twenty people, waiting outside the Punta Grill restaurant in Las Mercedes, in the Baruta municipality.

In the images you can see that the large group of people, including a child, wait until a restaurant employee leaves to get rid of the trash of the store, for them to start checking the contents of the bags to search by edible remains.

On Twitter, the citizens echoed the images to reject the situation, hold the government accountable and call for a protest against the hunger that Venezuelans are currently facing, as expressed through their accounts.

Then maybe things wouldn't be so bad.

But the US has to meddle with any socialist country in this hemisphere because they don't want a functioning socialist country to serve as an exampe and alternative to capitalism. They did the same thing with Chile and Pinochet.

The opposition has had ZERO say in Venezuelan politics in 18 years.

When the opposition finally won a super-majority of seats in the AN back in 2015, Maduro had his TSJ disavow any and all laws coming from that chamber... because they had more than enough to over ride any veto of his.

So pray tell how the opposition is causing ANY of this?
