In Venezuela since the hours of the morning and without certainty if the Venezuelan people will get gasoline, hundreds of drivers go out to make long queues to make up combutable that are formed in all the states of the country on a day marked by irregularities and injustices by the government and the policemen who are responsible for carrying and maintaining order.
There are many problems such as schedules, the start of gasoline sales are scheduled by 7 a.m. and it can be 3 days and they still don't deliver people who try to pour gasoline on their vehicles.
Venezuelans welcome the same critical situation as always, the country continues to suffer consequences of a severe economic crisis that is exacerbated day by day by the shortage of gasoline and fuel. Long queues and a situation in chaos. The entry into force of the new current prices of hana gasoline centuated one of the main prints of the Venezuelan pandemic: huge queues and the first protests in every state of the country.
The Venezuelan government assures me that with the "new normalization" from the first hour they would dispatch the fuel that arrived from Iran in exchange for tons of gold. After several hours, the wait continues between disorder and uncertainty, as consumers do not know how the distribution will take place and whether it will be for everyone.
All this in the presence of police, military and militiamen who are primarily in charge of controlling services under a biopayment system.
Near Caracas which is the capital of Venezuela, drivers collapsed one of the main roads while in other parts of the country capital a group of motorized people confronted and confronted the Venezuelan National Guard in demand of what the president promised that it was gasoline.
The interior of the whole country the whole situation is similar.
In the state Tachira that is on the border with Colombia, not a single gas station has opened its doors, with the exception of the one that supplies government vehicles in the city of San Cristobal. To the east, in the Bolivar State that is border with Brazil, the tails last more than three kilometers day by day.
"I call on you to rebel, to make your protest visible and spread," said Juan Guaidó, the legitimate president of the Democratic Parliament, held a live plenary on social media despite threats of jail to participating MPs.
The Government shut down YouTube for minutes so that Venezuelans could not observe the debate on the rise in gasoline prices, during which it was concluded that it is once again an unconstitutional measure in need of the approval of the National Assembly.
"The dictatorship wants you quiet," concluded the opposition leader, who, like economists and experts, is totally convinced that the Bolivarian proposal will double the entire black market. "The new gasoline system is made for corruption," added Deputy José Guerra, "Minister" of Economy in the shadow of the opposition.
During the 21 years of the revolutionary government, there has been the biggest embezzler in the history of all Venezuela history thanks to various economic strategies imposed by the Executive and the heat of the oil boom, with the barrel of oil above $120. The Parliament and the two economic vice presidents of Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías estimate that more than $500 billion "flying" from public coffers, with the specific smuggling of gasoline extraction as one of the big businesses.
The new scheme decreed by Nicolás Maduro is a massive rise and thousands of doubts, starting because national refineries continue to collapse by dissolution and corruption.
Gasoline in "international prices", half a dollar a litre, is impossible for the Venezuelan people: a single deposit costs twenty minimum wages.
Venezuela is going through a rough situation with no gasoline right now.
