Food protests, riots resuming in Venezuela

They protested in El Valle to demand food
Citizens asked to get a fish truck promised by the government of Nicolás Maduro



On Monday, a group of people protested in the Intercomunal Avenue of El Valle to demand food.

According to complaints on social networks, citizens demanded that the fish truck promised by the Nicolás Maduro government should arrive.

The information was confirmed by José Guerra, who is a deputy to the National Assembly for the sector.

"They are afraid, we do not have to be afraid, what we have is hunger," said one of the protesters.

That is how Maduro rolls... promises of food (but never delivering). Christmas hams for voting for Chavistas last December... now Easter hams that won't be delivered either. No cash. No hams.

But, like clockwork, you can count on the Chavista regime to blame United States (or the EU, Spain, Aruba, Curaçao, Portugal, Colombia, Brazil, Bonaire, the Illuminatti, etc. etc.) for preventing "thousands of fish trucks from delivering hundreds of tons of fish"... only to discover that there never was any fish, nor trucks. Because nobody takes worthless Bolivars, or "Chavista Credit"... only REAL cash, up front.

No cash. No fish. And Venezuela doesn't produce its own food any longer. Chavismo FTW!
