Chavista double speak: No imposed prices, but "severe sanctions" for not imposing prices

El Aissami called a meeting with businessmen to "open up" and define prices for the products
By Genesis Bastidas -June 23, 2018

Translated from Spanish

During the Expo Cojedes Power 2018, the economic vice president Tareck El Aissami said that he will meet between 27 and 28 June with the productive sectors to discuss and open up the prices of the basic products required by Venezuelans, this as part of his plan to the "economic recovery".

The meeting will be ready to listen to the prices that entrepreneurs would justify for each of their products. Likewise, El Aissami said that the government "will not impose prices on anything" and that once the prices are "sincere" they will make the list known to the people.

For the businesses or producers who fail to comply with the price agreement, the person in charge of the Economy stressed that they will be "sanctioned to the full extent of the law".

The Aissami, also stressed that public production companies reactivate their activities with more power to have "moral to demand from private companies."

Lets see...the Chavistas have had absolute control of the economy of Venezuela for 19 years, but now, they have a "plan" for economic recovery. The problem being the new plan is the same as the old plan. More Chavismo.
