Chavista prisons boss demands that El Pueblo rat out any economic counterrevolutionaries
Active government complaints system for surcharges: "Do not pay more than 50 Bs.S for a basic product"By: Noticiaaldia.com | Sunday, 08/19/2018 05:58 PM|
THE RECOMMENDATION IS NOT TO PAY PRICES THAT CONTAIN THREE DIGITS.
August 19, 2018 - Iris Valera, minister of the penitentiary system, reported that the national government has already activated a system for citizens to denounce the overpricing that has been reflected in many businesses following the measures announced by President Nicolás Maduro last Friday.
"Denounce anyone who is charging three-digit prices in Sovereign Bolivars for a product of the basic basket, to report by telephone 0800 LO JUSTO (08005658786) indicating the business address and showing the sabotage prices," Valera said on her Twitter.
She recommended not paying more than 50 Sovereign Bolivars for any item in the basic basket. "Almost no product cost 50 million, which by removing the five zeros is only 50 bolivars," said the official.
She explained that all the headquarters of the Sundde are open 24 hours a day to receive complaints, also recommended to go to the nearest headquarters of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB). Similarly, she indicated that the penitentiary service is ready to notify any irregularity.
She indicated that a kilogram of meat at a speculative price cost eight million Bolívares Fuertes, so that you can not pay more than 80 Bolívares Soberanos.

Can't have a proper revolution without scapegoats.
Months ago, Maduro and the Chavist hierarchy wanted to sit down with producers and retailers, and come to a mutually beneficial agreement about prices. Actually, Maduro wanted to dictate prices and wanted producers and retailers to agree to them. There was no agreement, and now Chavismo has decided to do what it always does... make up some bat-shit crazy rule and let the chips fall... and blame it on the CIA or Colombia.
