Learn some about the actual situation in Venezuela... Do you know the word bachaquero?

in #venezuela7 years ago

This word comes from a common insect of Venezuela his name is "Bachaco", this is a type of ant, this ant is know because they make long rows at early hours a day to find food.

The bachaqueros in Venezuela are people due to the situation of the country with the food shortage, the people need awake early to find his food cheap, making long rows, they can spen all day just for buy it, every person is identified with a numberl, some people sleep outside to the market the previous day to get the first numbers. Up to this point maybe you wonder: What's wrong with this?, most of the people with the first numbers don't want this cheap food for their eat, they just want it for resell, for example: they can buy a kilogram of rice on 200.000Bs for later resell it on 800.000Bs, they can get a exagerate profit, because the people that didn't achieve buy the food, by the necessity of feed, they don't have more options that buy the food to the bachaqueros for carry food to their house for his family.

This is a crime but you can give money to the policemen and them the bachaqueros can go unnoticed.

  • the next level of bachaqueros: the policeman, national guards and other autorities:

These autorities abuse of their power for get more food of the normal (The normal people, civils, just can buy 2 kilogram of flour, this for example but is the same for all food), the policemen and national guards are in the doors of the supermarket putting the order of the people in the rows because some people want to make cheat to overtake others person in the rows.

The guards and the policemen agree with the owner of the supermarket (Normally chinese people) for buy more food that the normal, they can buy one pack with 20 kilogram of flour or other food very, very cheap, and them they resell maybe 500% more expensive.

  • the last level of bachaqueros:

In the the food industry, the high authorities of the government and the managers of food industry (most are people who support the government), agree to buy a entire truck full of food, very, very, very cheap and they sell the food 800% more expensive, and the profit is distribuited between the involved people.

they maybe could be caught up, but the food will be resell for the authorities who have captured them.

This corrupt people aggravate me the situation to the country with the shortage of food, because they hoard much food that they buy cheap to sell in one month more expensive becuase the inflation here increased 2% every day.
