$68.44 for your baby in Venezuela. What a newborn life is worth in ChavismoLand

Border mafias pay Bs 7 million for a baby

(Translated from Spanish)

Fernando Tarazona, head of Citizen Security of the Government of Táchira state, reported that a band composed of citizens of Colombian nationality was mostly dismantled, which was dedicated to buying newborn children for which they paid 350,000 pesos, that is, 7 million Bolivar Fuertes.

The situation could be ascertained from a complaint made by a young mother who indicated that her 43-day-old daughter was taken away by a lady who approached her.

"The investigations determined that the girl had not been abducted but, on the contrary, was the object of a sale in a business in coordination with the father of the baby. They gave the girl and received the amount of 350,000 pesos, "said Tarazona.

The baby was sold for $68.44 cents. That's about 1 years minimum wage salary in ChavismoLand.

Tomorrow, the commerce continues. Only the cost will be cheaper as the Bolivar Fuerte continues to devalue. And more and more Venezuelan mothers will be selling their babies that they cannot afford.

The criminal acts continue on in Miraflores.
