Venezuela Protesters Set 40 Tons of Subsidized Food on Fire

Some 40,000 families will be affected by the act of sabotage.
Two Venezuelan protesters attacked a state-owned storehouse Thursday, setting fire to the building and destroying food reserves kept there.
Anzoategui’s state governor, Nelson Moreno reported that around 7 p.m. the two men armed with Molotov cocktails, scaled the institution’s fence and attempted to burn the facility to the ground.
About 40 tons of food that would have been distributed through the Mercal subsidized food market and subsidized government programs were consumed by the flames.
Officials said the destruction of the warehouse was a strategic move by the opposition groups, given its strategic location between the cities of Barcelona, Puerto la Cruz and Lecherias.’
