From Venezuela and made by Venezuelan Chavistas
The Government of the United States in its plan to suffocate the Venezuelan economy, has now proposed to attack the Local Committee of Food and Production (Clap), a program executed by President NicolΓ‘s Maduro to provide food to most of the population.
The Reuters news agency reported that the United States is preparing new sanctions against Venezuelan government officials related to the CLAP, in addition to increasing the economic blockade against the South American country.
Estados Unidos se ha dado cuenta de que aΓΊn no puede bombardear Venezuela. AsΓ que han decidido que mejor matan de hambre a la poblaciΓ³n sancionando el programa de alimentaciΓ³n del gobierno mientras se llenan la boca con enviar ayuda humanitaria. GRAVΓSIMO https://t.co/11vyq9e2aN

In this plan of harassment against the Venezuelan people, the National Security Council and the Treasury, State and Justice Departments of the United States would be involved.
Currently, in Venezuela more than 6 million families benefit from this important food program that allows families to access products from the basic basket almost for free (0.5 US$ per box/bag).
