More store managers arrested for not catering to Chavismo "fake low prices"

Arrested general manager of Plan Suárez in El Cafetal for "speculation"
August 22, 2018

translated from Spanish

Luis Sequera / Aug 22, 2018 .- A commission of the Special Actions Force (Faes), along with Public Ministry officials and Sundee detained the general manager of the Plan Suárez del Cafetal autocart in Caracas, Alejandro Quintana and the deputy manager Graciano La Rosa. who are accused of "price remark and speculation".

"Following allegations of speculative price increases against the people, Faes commissions together with MP and Sundee officials carried out a verification operation at the Suárez Plan supermarket in Caurimare, where they were able to see price remark by 200%", reported the Minister of the Interior, Justice and Peace, Néstor Reverol.



Reverol explained that sanctions will continue to be applied to merchants who incur the Fair Prices Act, all with the objective of "protecting Venezuelan families from unscrupulous sectors."

The apprehension of the manager of the automercado Plan Suárez was captured by a passer-by in a video that is circulating on social networks. Some people who were in the place, rejected the action of the officers of the tactical body to whom they reproached the detention with shouts.

The problem is the same as before... there are very few stores that are open now, so even people with cash (which is at a premium) cannot get food. And the stores that ARE open don't carry the foods that are on the list of "agreed prices" foods. (There have been no agreed prices... only dictated prices from Chavismo. The people aren't stupid... send in Chavistas to check on prices and tomorrow, either the store doesn't open or what things the people want can't be purchased for any price... except from enchufados... those "connected" in the Chavista criminal organization

Letting no good (Chavista) deed go unpunished
