Maduro threatens mass "nationalizations" if businessmen don't submit to his economic plan

Nicolás Maduro threatened the opposition and businessmen with making "radical" decisions if they continue with the "economic war"



According to the Venezuelan dictator, the sector does not respect the rules of the game of distribution and regulated prices of products, many of which are already achieved at a cost up to 10 times higher than that set by the Government. However, the Caribbean nation suffers hyperinflation and shortages due to Chavista economic policies.

The Venezuelan dictator, Nicolás Maduro, warned on Friday that he will take iron-fisted decisions against those who remain "incorporated into the economic war," which he claims are made by businessmen, the opposition and the United States, and to which he attributes the country's crisis.

"Whoever wants to work for Venezuela, will ratify the commitment and we will do it, who wants to follow incorporated into economic warfare will have to take constitutional, railways and final decisions for the good of all, for the bad you know. Steely attitude ", said in a transmission through the state channel VTV.

The Venezuelan head of State indicated that his Government is attentive to the "factors" of the "economic war" and pointed out that he will not be shaken in order to make radical decisions.

He was insistent in calling for entrepreneurs and producers to "respect the rules of the game" for the distribution and regulated prices of products, many of which are already achieved at a cost up to 10 times higher than that set by the Government.

FWIW, Maduro's economic plan consists of 3 elements

1. Blame El Imperio. For everything. Even the sun and iguanas work for the CIA.
2. Pull a number out of his ass and call it "fair" in regards to the prices of anything/everything.
3. Nationalize any business that makes any sort of profit and thereby ruining it.

Maduro and his Chavista economic team of experts has determined that the price of 50 "necessary items" be set by this team, and not the cost of bringing that item to market. Every item on the list is now impossible to find. Which is probably why they don't expand the list to everything...
