Caracas, April 18. - The new head of the shortage of cash and inflation, is Juan Manuel Santos. Nicolás Maduro, together with the vice president of the Republic, Tareck El Aissami, presented on Wednesday the results of the operation "Hands of Paper" in which they claim that "they have managed to hit important transnational networks that are linked to two issues: contraband of paper and cash and was captured one of the main heads of a page that placed the criminal rate of criminal dollar to destabilize the financial and economic system," said the president in a transmission via Facebook Live.

He pointed out that "the mafias took the Colombian banknotes to generate inflation, this whole plan is with the consent of Juan Manuel Santos, they are the Santos mafias with a plan to damage the Venezuelan economy".

For its part, El Aissami reported that there are 105 captured people willing to order the Public Ministry, in addition to having seized more than 3 billion bolivares in bank accounts: "We have initiated by instruction of Nicolás Maduro, an administrative investigation of the Banesco bank, in which the platform facilitated the transfers without any type of verification, the compliance officer validated all this type of operations from the border to different bank accounts," he said.

This is actually a step in the right direction for Maduro!

Previously, he has insisted that there isn't any inflation or shortages... all of this is just CIA propaganda! Venezuela is the land of plenty! Plenty of food and medicine, all offered at low/no cost courtesy of the Bolivarian revolution. Living wages abound. The envy of the world!

Always a culprit with the Chavistas. Not the least bit of shade can be thrown at their Bolivarian revolution. They have taken a national economy that was the envy of Latin America and singlehandedly turned it into a cesspool within 18 years.
