A 289% hike is impressive!
33%
It's insignificant and pyrrhic, $2.50 a month is nothing!
14%
Given the circumstances (pandemic, recession, blockade etc), it's acceptable.
29%
Its part of a strategy to force labor migration to private employers/dismantle the public sector

None of the above

VENEZUELAN PARLIAMENT APPOINTS NEW ELECTORAL AUTHORITIES WITH TWO OPPOSITION MEMBERS
International reactions, mainly from Washington and its allies, were also swift after Tuesday’s announcement. Luis Almagro, head of the Organization of American States (OAS), criticized the appointments and accused those who took part in the CNE dialogue of being “collaborationists” of the Maduro government.
However, the assistant secretary for the US Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Julie Chung, struck a more moderate tone. The diplomat said “it's up to Venezuelans” to decide whether the new National Electoral Council is a positive step, but stressed that the US would “continue to press for the fundamental minimum changes needed for free and fair elections.”

In response to the latest claims, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza described the accusations as “shameful,” going on to say that the accusers were “underestimating their people.” He also quoted Spanish poet Antonio Machado, writing via Twitter that “Lies are the most destructive weapon used by fascism.”
For his part, Chavista number two Deputy Diosdado Cabello likewise downplayed the accusations, questioning Colombian intelligence capabilities. “They couldn’t even investigate Operation Gedeon – the failed maritime incursion which happened a year ago and was planned in Colombia – but they can conclude that we [supposedly] have people there. Get out of here!” he said.

"So far about 1.2 million doses have arrived here, between the Russian Sputnik V and the Chinese Sinopharm. A very limited number of the Cuban Soberana II (in the clinical trial phase) also arrived in Venezuela.
However, as healthcare personnel, one of our main concerns now is the slow deployment of the vaccination process. The process began with the immunization of people in public offices, some military personnel, and part of the healthcare personnel. However, not all medical personnel have been vaccinated so far. We are very concerned about this. Other countries such as Argentina vaccinated medical professionals first… That, of course, makes sense since we are the ones on the frontline!"
