Caracas, June 30, 2018 - The political leader Jorge Rodríguez was captured in a photo, which rolls profusely on social networks, using Valentino Garavani red camouflaged shoes, marketed mostly in the United States.

According to information shared by users of the social network Twitter these shoes would be valued at more than 2 billion bolivars (about $795), a matter that far exceeds a minimum monthly income of any public official, even the highest level.



This happens when Venezuela is going through one of the worst economic crises in its history as a nation, in which capital flight, corruption and the allocation of preferential dollars has been a neglected issue while the government insists on the theory of the "war" economic "without taking responsibility or taking any effective action to resolve the serious crisis.
