From El Marqués and along Francisco de Miranda Avenue, Saúl Garay went through four gas stations that were closed. Finally found an open at the height of La Castellana, where he waited more than half an hour to fill the tank of your vehicle. No less than 25 drivers waited to get to the pumps. "This queue is for shortage, not demand," said Garay.
Yesterday several pumps in Caracas and in the interior of the country were collapsed by long lines of cars, because the failures in the supply of the fuel did that many stations stayed closed.
At a gas station located in La Castellana, the employee said that there are few heavy vehicles to supply and cover the demand. "The gandolas are not stocking as they should be. They do not have spare parts or rubbers, "he said. Another worker, at a station in El Cafetal, assured that there are not enough cars to move the fuel. "A single driver has to make several trips since filling in Guatire to supply the pumps in Caracas," he said.
"A gandola arrived on Friday, but the driver said he was not coming until further notice," said the firefighter at a service station on Los Illustres Avenue. Katherine Vielma had been in line for more than half an hour and had not yet reached the island of the pump. "This line is soft, because gas stations in La Bandera, Coche and Fuerte Tiuna are full," he said.
According to Iván Freites, secretary of Futpv, the shortage of gasoline is 80% throughout the country. However, the controller appointed by the ANC, Elvis Amoroso, after touring the Yagua waterworks, located in the municipality of Guacara in Carabobo, assured that there is enough fuel. "Many owners of service stations do not have all the islands of distribution of gasoline running and we are going to request that they revoke the concession to those gentlemen who are running over all Venezuelans."
In a statement, the concessionaires reject the declarations of the official and assure that the gas stations have been seriously affected by the irregularity of the supply. "Even when we are going through the worst cash flow crisis in our history, we have kept the stores open for that service vocation that we carry inside," they say.
Meanwhile, the new price of fuel remains a big question mark.

Of course there is plenty of gas, says the mouthpiece of Chavismo. It is all CIA propaganda. Plenty of food, medicine and potable water. All electrical outages is sabotage. Any bad thing is false news from Colombia and the Illuminati.
