Outside Venezuela the reality is that everything is fine, but it is not like that. I am Venezuelan and I say the reality because I am unworthy to see people digging in the garbage in search of food more and more frequently, what I have lived or rather live, I see it with base. I like to direct messages to other societies so that they have an idea of how this works.
Did you know that we are the country of the queues? From hospitals without implements, destroyed roads being an oil country, there is no food production, schools falling, pharmacies without medicines, farmers without seeds.
The NGO has raised some amounts of quantity and price of the acquisitions in armaments since the government does not give accounts and keeps it secret. The (Sipri), Stockholm International Institute for Peace Research to said figures that Venezuela has armed the FANB spending more than 5.6 billion in the last 15 years, determining that the largest suppliers have been China, Russia and Spain .

For the control of protests has been equipped enough to control the entire population for a year in a row, supplying equipment Anti riots, Armored Vehicles, Rhinoceros VN-4, Whales WTC-1, ABV-1 whale carriers, unspecified suits anti-riots called Robocop.
Between 2002 and 2011, 143 tons of anti-riot equipment were purchased from a Brazilian company called Condor Non-Lethal Technologies, such as Pumps and Lagrimogenas pomegranates, shot, and the Spanish company Falken maintained an agreement with the Venezuelan company of Military Industries (Cavim) for the manufacture of tear gas pumps, acquiring raw material for the manufacture of tear drop pumps and anti riot material.
The most favored portfolio is that of the Ministry of Defense, which increases every year. The FANB received 32 billion in 2015, Bs 84.2 Billion in 2016 and Bs 766.3 Billion in 2017.
It is logical that a country needs weapons for its protection and control. But being in the situation or position and there are so many shortages at the level of nutrition, health and product acquisition for the population in which Venezuela is located, do you think that is jistified?
