And now #FAO congratulates those who are destroying a whole country and its young people!! So bad, now, is the economy that the government has deployed the military -- the military -- to ensure that anxious, hungry and needy citizens don't over-indulge at stores (when they actually have merchandise and food, which is increasingly rare). A combination of economic factors has all contributed to Venezuela's disintegration -- a lack of foreign capital and declining oil prices among them -- but the country's socialist economic policies are at the root of every problem.
Customers struggled and fought for items at times, with many trying to skip lines. The most sought-after products included detergent, with customers waiting in line for two to three hours to buy a maximum of two bags. A security guard asked that photos of empty shelves not be taken. [emphasis added]
And

"You can't find anything, I've spent 15 days looking for diapers," Jean Paul Mate, a meat vendor, told Bloomberg outside the Luvebras store. "You have to take off work to look for products. I go to at least five stores a day."
"This is the worst it has ever been -- I've seen lines thousands of people long," Greisly Jarpe, a 42-year-old data analyst, said while waiting for dish soap in eastern Caracas. "People are so desperate they're sleeping in the lines." And FAO accepts to give an award to Maduro? Corruption.
NO PRESS FREEDOM IN VENEZUELA
