From today's Sosua News:
[h=5]Currently twenty trucks drive around the country to deliver food packages at 700 different places for 50% of the retail price. This action is performed under the supervision of the Minister of Agriculture engineer Salvador (Chio) Jim?nez and was commissioned by President Leonel Fern?ndez. The packages have a retail value of 475 pesos but will be sold for 200 pesos. The packages include onion, garlic, spaghetti, beans, oats, oil, rice, brown sugar and chicken.[/h][h=5]With these efforts, the president, according to the spokesman of the government, wants to fight the price speculation and inflation of prices for basic food. That this food distribution happens just before the elections take place is purely coincidental said the spokesman. In the coming week the caravan with cheap food will also stop in Sos?a. The grocers in Sos?a are not so positive about this action of their president because they fear loss of sales.[/h]
