It seems that things in Venezuela are taking quite critical turnover, the authorities were forced to temporarily open the border and to produce about 130,000 people shopping in neighboring Colombia for shopping of necessities. In the Venezuela now has nothing to eat, the stores empty shelves.
How it all began? Do you think you remember, in the beginning of June broke out in Caracas to protest, which the residents of the country appealed to President Maduro, demanding to solve the problem of shortage of medicines and food — in the country there was not even toilet paper. Since then, the situation has not gotten better, only worse — the measures taken by the government of Maduro, did not bring any good to people even more scared of the stupid actions of the authorities (the distribution of “surplus goods” to the poor), and trade in the country is almost bent.
Below is the story about what is happening in Venezuela.
02. People come back from the Colombian stores. As you can see, bags are not that great, apparently do take only the most necessary.
03. The men drag tires. No, it’s not the impending independence against Maduro, just in Colombia, they can still be bought.
04. Guy buys oil is one of the most scarce and in-demand products in Venezuela.
05. Cashier at Columbia supermarket, a woman buys oil, flour and coffee. Something else in the package at the bottom, similar to beans.
06. Venezuelans at the box office Colombian city of Cucuta, near the border. Products — toothpaste, flour, butter, cereals. That is, on the shelves in Venezuela there is nothing at all.
07. Toilet paper, one of the most popular products. In Venezuela you can’t buy it.
08. Daughter helps mom) I just remembered himself in the early nineties — also went with my mom shopping, helped.
09. Police control at the border. It is seen that each don’t check — otherwise this line would be stretched for weeks.
10. Ladies are scarce sausage — just like in the late USSR)
11. Old lady with a full food bag. Most in such a situation, of course, feel sorry for lonely old people — they just have no one to help…
12. Two ladies carry a big bag, photo taken near the border with Colombia. Judging by the size of the trunk — n do not exclude that contrabandista, will trade in Caracas deficit)
13. Turn on the bridge Simon Bolivar in Colombia — to get through the border you need to defend a few hours.
