According to Maduro, Venezuela has suffered a financial crisis due to several year of alleged “economic war” being waged from inside and out of the country. He claimed that the new onslaught of sanctions by United States President Donald Trump and National Assembly President Julio Borges has destroyed the economy.
Faced with destabilization, Maduro will continue to push the price-control policy that has doomed Venezuela for years.
“This new pricing system agreed upon by all productive and distributive sectors, and with consumers, will be supervised on the streets,” he said over a TV and radio broadcast.
The new policies go into effect starting this Friday, September 8 and constitute a new plan of price ceilings for the public sale of fifty goods and services deemed essential for Venezuelans.
Maduro said the laws were vital to fighting inflation, the economic war and to punishing the “bachaqueros” — people who are known for selling goods at marked-up prices on the black market.
