This Wednesday the managers of the supermarket chains Excelsior Gama and Central Madeirense were arrested, after officials of the National Superintendence for the Defense of Socioeconomic Rights (Sundde) supervised the establishments in several branches of the country.

There are at least 11 more detainees. The action obeys to that the shelves were empty.

The detainees were arrested by officers of the Bolivarian National Police (PNB) are accused of "boycott" for the shortage in the place.

It should be noted that on August 23, the Sundde began an administrative sanctioning process against Excelsior Gama, Central Madeirense and Luvebras, as well as pharmaceutical chains such as Locatel and Farmahorro.

Synopsis: Chavismo has dictated that there is an "agreed price" on various food and hygiene products. (there is no actual agreement with anyone) Pharmacies and markets are required by law to sell these 50 "agreed" items at a low low cost to the public. The problem being, it costs more to buy the markets wholesale than to sell at retail. Hence, all 50 products with "agreed prices" cannot be found anywhere at any price.

Enter SUNDDE, the Gestapo of shopping.

They will enter your business (if it is closed, they will force you to open) and will inspect your wares. If they unilaterally deem your prices "unfair", you will be arrested and sent to the squalid SEBIN (Bolivarian secret police) prison called Helicoide. If you are selling an "agreed item" for more than the "agreed price", you go to prison. And now, if you DON'T sell the item because you don't stock that item, you go to prison.

1. It's like the old soviet joke.

A woman walks into a butcher shop.

"Do you have any fish?"

"We don't have meat here. They don't have fish across the street!"
