The Venezuelan government says it will expropriate bakeries which fail to abide by new government regulations aimed at tackling bread shortages.
In a growing row between the government and bakers, officials said that bakeries could face fines if people had to queue to get their bread.
Severe shortages of basic goods mean that Venezuelans often have to queue for hours to buy essential items.
Venezuela does not produce wheat and relies on imports bought in by the government which it then sends to mills where it is ground and then distributed.
The government blames bakers for the bread shortages, accusing them of using the flour allocated to them to bake pastries rather than simple baguette-style bread in order to maximise their profits.
But the baker's federation, Fevipan, says it cannot produce more bread unless its members are given more flour.On Tuesday, it said in a tweet [in Spanish] that 80% of bakeries had "zero inventory", while the remaining bakeries had only received 10% of the monthly supplies.
What the BBC does not discuss, it the halving of the social classes. People that are fortunate enough to have connections to the government, have access to jobs, money, food, transportation, health care. Everyone else must fend for themselves,to the best of their ability. What is not being discussed, is the black market, and charity goods getting sold for profit. It is possible that the wheat products are going to the kitchens of the well connected.
The government has almost total control over consumer goods and services. Well connected and employed people can afford to buy delicious pastries.
This is a pre- view of what the Trumpenreich of America has in store for us.
A split down the middle, and a gray area between fortunate and unfortunate. Betray the common people and work for the current regime, and there will be rewards for the fortunate few.
We must live with corruption, because it is part of human nature. The system we had in America, before the election was limping along.With a Democratic president, we may have been able to regain some balance. The whole world is in a state of flux.
Now, the Extreme Right has gained the confidence to display how brutal and unfeeling their rule could become. They will destroy a healthy ecomony in order to insure their hold on power.
We will not be any better off than Venezuela,if they get their way.
