Mass starvation expected in Venezuela after socialist government nationalizes food distribution system
‘In a policy move that is sure to worsen Venezuela’s economic condition and impose more suffering on the country’s population, President Nicolas Maduro pledged recently to nationalize food distribution amid record shortages of the most basic goods, skyrocketing inflation and a deepening financial crisis.
Maduro – a longtime bus driver and left-wing union activist who never graduated from high school – said during a rally in early May, on International Workers Day, that he would carry out his measure “in the coming days and weeks.” He claimed the move was necessary to ensure fair delivery of goods to all the people.
But various estimates, according to Agence France Presse, indicate the central government already controls about half of the South American nation’s food distribution, which has not ended record shortages in shops and markets.’
