The deputy to the National Assembly, Robert Alcalá, denounced that sacks of buried wheat flour were found in an area located in the La Matica sector, via El Peñon de Cumaná.

"We are going to see what the governors will explain, because the Sucreans have to make long queues for bread, while they bury the flour," the parliamentarian said through his Twitter account, adding that from 5:30 in the morning some neighbors of the sector to load the sacks. This land was sold by the government of the Sucre state to one of its "allies".

The Bolivarian National Guard appeared. Robert Alcalá recalled that the State responsible for the importation of wheat flour is distributed in Sucre by the ZODI and the Comercializadora attached to the government.

Enchufado is the colloquial term for those who are connected, or "plugged in" to the ruling regime. For example, the 18,000 highly skilled PdVSA employees who struck for better wages and working conditions were replaced by Chavista lackeys who were loyal to Chavez. Enchufados. They had no skills, but they "knew somebody" in the movement.

That the GNB showed up to protect the flour is typical. The Bolivarian National Guard do not serve Venezuelans... it serves Chavismo. Without a doubt, they showed up to "protect their investment"... God forbid the people use the flour they found to make bread.
