More than 1 million 200 thousand Venezuelans at the moment, are living in a situation of chronic malnutrition, in the states of Amazonas, Apure, Delta Amacuro, Monagas and Sucre, said Edison Arciniegas, representative of the Non-Governmental Organization of Citizens in Action.
Within the framework of the day "Trade, Services and Oil", organized by the Foundation of Integral Attention to the People Legislator and the Direction of Citizen Communication of the National Assembly, warns that these people are suffering from the year 2015, a severe protein malnutrition , which means that they are consuming approximately 10% of the proteins and in the case of calories, less than 40%.
In concrete terms there are 50,000 Venezuelans who have their lives committed for the next quarter, as a result of malnutrition, so the adoption of emergency measures is needed, ensuring that these measures are at sea, that is why dialogue is required that is going to continue on December 15 in the Dominican Republic, achieve by way of the flexibilization of the terms, of the political agreement, that come to Venezuela from Colombia, no less than 3,000 trucks loaded with finished food and inputs for the production and no less than 50 ships from Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Mexico and Peru that are major exporters of food, allowing us to attend the emergency and take advantage of the winter that promises to be generous to re-produce food in the country, points out Arciniegas.

Maduro says there is no crisis. Only US propaganda. Plenty of food and medicine. Only propaganda!
Delcy says there is only a "lack of willpower". Venezuelans are strong. They need to quit complaining.
Cabello says the ANC will pass a new law next week that will fix what is not broken. Not like the last law that bankrupted retailers in one day.
