This I say for the readers abroad, so that they know the truth.
Here in Venezuela the vast majority of people, including government employees, earn only a minimum monthly salary legitimately, and any other money, those who can do it, they earn it by doing other things --- like theft for example - - since with a minimum wage it is impossible to survive unless you are one of those Indians who barely eat or drink, who eat the air.
See example of a yogi who has not eaten or drunk in 70 years:
Well, the monthly minimum wage here in Venezuela is around 20,000 Bs., That is, around $ 6 (monthly).
The government distributes food almost free of charge once a month (CLAP), which are bags of food that normally contain about 12 kilos of rice, beans, pasta, etc., and two liters of oil, and sometimes, when corrupt officials do not they steal it (I have direct information about this miserable phenomenon), sugar and tuna.
These products in stores currently cost (increase daily) an average of about 7,000 Bs per kilo or liter, then those almost free products that the government distributes once a month is $ 28 dollars per month (14 products X for $ 2 c /or).
This means that the vast majority of the population earn around $ 28 + $ 6 = $ 34 per month.
Yes sir, that is $ 1.13 per day, well below the international level of extreme poverty of $ 1.90 per day.
When Chávez died in the beginning of 2013, the minimum wage was around $ 10 per day, or $ 300 per month.
Yes sir.
In 6 years we have lost 90% of our salary.
Is that fair?
No sir, for nothing.
Is that governing?
No sir, for nothing.
That is normal?
No sir, for nothing.
But that is the truth.
