In recent months, Venezuela’s socialist-leaning government has been systematically dismantling its own economy. First, the South American nation’s central bank began devaluing its currency, leading to massive inflation. As prices for basic necessities like food and groceries surged in response, the government reacted by fixing the prices of those goods, leading to shortages.
Now, citizens in Venezuela struggle to find grocery items, hospitals are running out of basic supplies, and major cities are experiencing power outages. To make matters worse, the government even fixed the price of toilet paper, causing a supply failure. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro then sent in the National Guard to seize a toilet paper factory, accusing the private company Manpa, which operates the facility, of hoarding bathroom tissue.
