Venezuela's Maduro OK's a minimum wage of 18 cents per day

After six years of economic destruction, the madurismo recognizes that we have a salary of 18 cents per day

translated from Spanish

They had to spend six years of economic hardship, wrapped up with a terrible hyperinflation that exceeds 1,000,000%, combined with a permanent shortage of food and medicines, in the midst of a collapse of essential public services such as water, electricity and transportation so that the madurismo will end up recognizing a rate of change superior to the one of the parallel market, and with it that in Venezuela the effective minimum wage is of 18 cents of dollar per day, which is to say, that we have the lowest salary of the continent - and probably the world - which does not even approach the daily dollar established by the United Nations (UN) as survival income for those who are in critical poverty.

Faced with this reality, no salary in Venezuela can cope with the severe economic crisis. That has been the madurista legacy during the sexenio of economic destruction that the now usurping dome of Miraflores has originated for the Venezuelans. Today, from the most humble worker, to the most prepared of the Venezuelan doctors, he receives miserable incomes that do not even add up the highest of the levels in the level of public administration exceeds the daily dollar of income.

So we have that both a university professor with doctorate studies, and a general who has completed his formation of the General Staff with Security and Defense, comes to have as salary not even the 30 dollars a month. That is a shame for the oil nation that Maduro boasts so much in its permanent chains, in which he lives telling us that we have the largest oil reserves on the planet, and which supposedly represent the ultimate goal of the United States for wanting to "overthrow it". "

Nothing more fake and removed from reality as a political argument. Because if so, then what have been the reasons that have oriented to the madurismo to continue selling during all these years to that country the maximum possible amount of oil? How can Venezuelaism justify having such a large amount of reserves, its main oil industry has decreased its production levels in the last six years by approximately two million barrels per day? In what way can the maduristas justify, especially the resentful old age that lives us talking about "economic war - that we Venezuelans have to suffer this reality?How can the maduristas justify that the people of the homeland of Bolívar have to live on remittances because the neo-communist and neo-Nazi system completely destroyed the national currency?
