Analysis and Summary of the Publication
It is crazy what happens in Venezuela every day, yesterday the president of Venezuela announces to the whole world that the dollar will no longer be accepted in the economy of the Venezuelan and the Venezuelan who has dollars can be caught and sentenced to prison .
This is what Venezuela needed to sink deeper into poverty and poverty. We can no longer receive dollars from our foreigners that our relatives send us in order to survive in a country that no longer achieves anything. very high cost, where the Venezuelan can not buy a kilo of cheese because he should save a month of work to buy it.
Sadly, President Nicolás Maduro is starving the Venezuelan people, where they no longer get food or medicine for the sick, where children and adults die every day for lack of food or medicine, where crime has increased 87% in less One year, where the light goes like this every day, where there is no gasoline or gas to cook.
Where millions of Venezuelans are emigrating in search of a better future, where to get your passport you have to collect at least 5 months of minimum salary.
We are living a situation that has no comparison, now they want us to use the euro as the reference currency, when we all know we will not have advice to that currency, since the government controls the entire national market and where the president puts him in prison who does not agree with Him
