Buying votes, Chavismo style! Maduro uses military to move CLAP boxes for campaign stops
Translation: "Here are and always will be the men and women in uniform, accompanying the Venezuelan people, in peace and adversity, day and night and in any circumstance Venezuela has its FANB. However perverse the war, they will never be able to join the national union"
CLAP boxes are boxes of food (powdered milk, rice, beans, cooking oil, etc), purchased overseas (nothing is produced in Venezuela) by various Chavismo companies that take their cut of the profits before the product is dispersed. The net cost of each box is estimated to be about $3 if bought off the shelf in Brazil, but the Chavista government pays $20 per box to its suppliers (shell corporations owned by Maduro pals). The problem often is that the powdered milk isn't really milk... its milky stuff with chalk. (they call it "malk".) The flour is "mostly" flour, but about 1/3 of it has been found to be sawdust.
