Maduro: "Comply with the fixing of prices or the revolution will take radical measures"
Mature owners of supermarkets: "Comply with the fixing of prices or the revolution will take radical measures"

Caracas- On Wednesday, at the National Prize for Journalism 2018, the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, took the opportunity to warn the owners of supermarkets and wholesale distributors in Venezuela to comply with the pricing mechanisms or "the revolution will take radical measures".
The president indicated that he increased the minimum wage last week and what cost 1 million bolivars, on Friday and cost 3 million bolivars. "What is this? What is this called? Criminal economy, economic war. And how do we overcome it? How do the people defeat it every day?" He questioned.
Maduro doubted that the owners of the country's supermarkets and wholesalers would seek "the satisfaction of the people and the peace of the people." "What should our response be? We have given a very clear warning: to the owners of these distributors, wholesalers, supply systems and surpluses: put on rights, I give them the opportunity, " threatened the president.
He also urged them to comply with the price fixing or otherwise "the revolution will take radical measures and then do not complain or accuse us of dictators. I tell you because I have moral and because I protect the people, because you are true scoundrels who increase prices without commercial justification, or costs, " said Maduro.

Maduro's cunning and subtle plan, should supermarkets and retailers not follow his "dictates" about what he wants prices to be instead of what they are? Nationalization. Of course, there isn't a single entity that Chavismo hasn't nationalized that isn't in shambles... but then, that is NEVER Chavismo's fault. Even when they own the means of production. Always Curacao bankers or Portuguese pig farmers or the CIA or Colombian profiteers or the Illuminati.
Never mind that when his Chavista buddies sat down last week with producers and retailers and told them that there would be no unilateral "imposing of prices on anything"... and in the next breath warned them about the need to "impose prices". But, doublespeak is the language of choice in Chavismoland.
