Only the most faithful Chavistas will get Christmas hams this year!

Cabello: CLAP legs will be given to the most disadvantaged



translated from Spanish

The second in command of Chavism demanded unity in his party to overcome the "self-criticism"

The president of the illegitimate constituent assembly, Diosdado Cabello, clarified that the 20,000 tons of pernil allegedly obtained by the State between national production and imports will not be available to all Venezuelans, but priority will be given to those who have less.

"We will distribute 20,000 tons of pork for those who have less, those who have been punished by the economic war. That's where they have to be directed," he explained during the 233rd edition of his program Con el Mazo Dando, broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión.

This statement contrasts with what was previously stated by the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, who guaranteed that the 20,000 tons would be destined for the six million families that receive food through the Local Committee for Supply and Production (CLAP).

Translation: "Half the pork legs (pernil) have been distributed to the enchufados ("copnnected" aka PSUV insiders), who will now sell them on the open market for whatever they can get. The remaining legs will be split in half, and distributed by the PSUV faithful to those good Chavistas who have been dutiful in supporting the PSUV. The Carnet de la Patria card will tell us who has been naughty and who has been nice! Poverty has no meaning in Venezuela, as everyone is impoverished these days!"

The Chavismo Loyalty Card is used to keep track of who votes, who shows up for rallies and who is actively wearing their Chavez shirts.
