ALERT ODD NEWS Venezuela’s Military Seizes Electronics Stores, Slashes Prices Just Before Elections


Venezuela’s military seizes electronics chains, slashes prices
A month before municipal elections, some say the socialist government is trying to buy votes even as the economy spirals.
CARACAS, Venezuela — In his fight against the “economic war” he says the political opposition, in collusion with the United States, is waging against Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro ordered the military occupation of electronics chains over the weekend and summoned the public to come shop at government-enforced “fair” prices.
The orders against Daka, KVG and Krash, which are basically Venezuelan equivalents of Best Buy, sparked chaos at the stores’ outlets. The authorities arrested five store managers and said they will be prosecuted for unjustifiably raising prices.
