The Minister of Communication and Information, Jorge Rodríguez, said on Friday that with the new minimum salary of 1,800 sovereign bolivars (180,000 strong) can be purchased perfectly 25 products from the list of agreed prices that, I clarify, were not imposed on the producers.
At a press conference Rodríguez congratulated the workers "who have understood the magnitude of a program of this nature that, to put it in more technical terms, reforms the development of the entire economy, corrects distortions and, above all, promotes the search for balance in a scenario where there had been a total annihilation of the salary of Venezuelans, had been exterminated by the speculative action of the mafias, the oligarchies, corruption, the attack on our currency, the attack through economic war. And the balsamic character that this program has had in all sectors of national life has been impressive," he pointed out.
He referred to the list of agreed prices that was already published in the Official Gazette and stated that "they are not imposed prices, they are the product of the study together with these factors of the economy to achieve costs that allow development in the market and that people can go and buy them. "
"This list with the speculative prices was in the order of 122 million 900 thousand strong bolivars, while the salary was at 5 million; that is, 20 times more. Now with a price agreement, they cost 1,117 sovereign bolivars. With a minimum wage you can perfectly acquire the 25 items of this basket," he said
