Special Brigade took Super Leader of CaguaAugust 25, 2018 TheNewVoice
Translated from Spanish
This Saturday, August 25, in the morning hours, a Special Brigade of the Bolivarian Police of Aragua, took the Super Supermarket facilities, located in the Inter-Union Cagua-La Encrucijada, this to control an irregular situation that originated near 8, when a crowd gathered on the outskirts of the aforementioned establishment.
It was learned that long queues formed, as they have been seen in all the stores in the country after the implementation of the Economic Recovery Plan, the problem began when a market spokesman told those present that they would not open the doors throughout the day.
Immediately tempers heated up and the annoying crowd threatened to enter the supermarket by force, however the timely intervention of the authorities, allowed that around 10 o'clock in the morning, opened the premises and began to flow the queues without major inconveniences.

And when they entered, the probably were very angry to not find what they were looking for: basic necessities that Maduro had promised them would be at "agreed" prices. Only the prices were only agreed to by Chavismo, not the retailers.
No chicken. No soap. No milk. No eggs. No cooking oil. No rice. No corn flour... but plenty of stuff that costs about 3 monthly wages.
Another win for Bolivarian Socialism

Spanish Marxist Professor Alfredo Serrano Is the Man Behind Venezuelas Economic Mess
By Orlando Avendaño Last Updated Aug 21, 2016
The fact that the government continues to insist on 21 century socialism can be attributed to Alfredo Serrano (Misión verdad)
The main culprits of the most radical measures taken by the Venezuelan government come from Spanish politician Alfredo Serrano Mancilla, according to Spanish Adviser to President Nicolás Maduro Deputy Carlos Valero.
Valero told the newspaper ABC in Spain that Serrano is the author of the latest and most radical economic measures undertaken by the Chavistas, who have only managed to impoverish the country.
Expropriations, the seizure of businesses, urban agriculture on balconies, the soviet supply system and forced employment in the public agriculture sector are all a result of Serranos influence.
Earlier this year, the newspaper El Nacional reported about Alfredo Serrano Mancilla, the Spaniard who pulls the strings of the Venezuelan economy. The newspaper pointed out the Podemos member is one of the most influential figures in Maduros economic cabinet.
The fact that the government continues to insist on the economic model of socialism in the 21st century, despite the queues, shortages and inflation is entirely from him, the paper claimed.
