Venezuelans Need $ 300 To Survive
A food basket that is in the order of 300 dollars indicates that Venezuelans need 300 dollars. To be able to eat and 600 dollars to cover essential expenses, according to studies at the end of November by the Center for Documentation and Analysis for Workers (Cendas). They claim that the minimum wage, equivalent to about five dollars a month, only covers 2% of the current Basic Food Basket. In the city of Maracaibo on December 11, 2019, the majority of workers and all pensioners have ''a 98% deficit'', regarding the cost of the basic basket, despite the Venezuelan Constitution obliges to cover that amount . Everyone who has access to dollars in Venezuela avoids them as much as possible to change them into bolivars and makes use of the American currency in many of the daily activities mainly for the purchase of food.
