In an opinion piece published in Últimas Noticias, the Fiscal General Luisa Ortega Díaz blamed
the media for creating conditions that produce shortages.
According to Ortega Díaz: “in the last months
there has been an intensification in our country of the spreading of false information
which could be oriented to stimulate panic among the population by exacerbating
their basic needs. The spreading of messages about supposed shortages of products
of the basic diet generates panic buying and, as a consequence, shelves are
emptied by people that fear being left without products.”
The theory that product’s shortages are not
the consequences of government’s policies, but of people trying to destabilize
the economy by using the media to generate chaos, has also been recently expressed
by President Maduro and by Conatel President Pedro Maldonado.
