The diet of Maduro in front of herbalife so they say although it seems a Herbalife

"Maduro's diet makes you hard": the joke of the president of Venezuela that outraged the opposition
With a mixture of resignation and humor, many Venezuelans refer to the food shortages that the country has experienced in recent months as the "Maduro diet".

The president is no stranger to this denomination and on Sunday he joked with her, which the opposition did not like, which blames the government for lack of food that is part of the population.

It was precisely during the launch of a magazine about the so-called Local Supply and Production Committees (CLAP), with which the government seeks to combat shortages, when Maduro made the joke.

In the act, broadcast on television, the Venezuelan president asked a collaborator why he was so weak.

Ente laughs, a member of the public said it was for the "Maduro diet". Then, the president joked: "Maduro's diet makes you hard, without the need for Viagra."

The reaction on Twitter, mirror of the political polarization in Venezuela, was immediate and extended until Monday.

"It seems funny to you @nicolasmaduro what about the Maduro Diet? Thousands of Venezuelans go hungry! Eat the garbage! Vas pafuera!" Henrique Capriles, one of the opposition leaders, wrote in the social network, looking for the celebration of a recall referendum to end Maduro's mandate before the end of the year.

Food scarcity
Venezuela suffers a deep economic crisis with inflation and lack of food and basic products. The drop in oil prices, the main source of foreign currency, has led to a reduction in the usual food imports.

Basic foods are protected with a regulated price, which generates long lines every day to try to acquire them.

However, it is not enough for everyone, which has led to a black market in which these products multiply their price several times.
