Their insane leader; Maduro accused bakers of waging a "bread war against the Venezuelan people.
Maduro claims that bakers are hoarding flour and using it to make more profitable brownies and cookies rather than bread. All this, Maduro contends, is part of a broader effort by private business owners to sabotage the economy and bring down his government.

. . .the Maduro government is importing only about 25 percent of the wheat that the country needs,

. . .due to price controls, bread must be sold at a loss — for about 20 U.S. cents per loaf.


The absolute insanity of a Communist govt. is incomprehensible. I hope they don't starve millions of people with their deranged incompetence like Russia/China.
