Maduro and his midgets have once again mocked Venezuelan workers. Violating collective bargaining, educators in the public sector have been paid vacation and recreational bonuses based on the salary of Dec-2021. They took away 90% of that benefit. ?? pic.twitter.com/jxsBYqEEsr

In this sense, Pablo Martínez, a professor at the University of Zulia, denounced that Lucena did not attend the scheduled meeting.
The meeting did not take place as scheduled. Neither the MPPEU minister nor the finance minister attended. It was a meeting of the labor minister with FTUV. One more mockery and cum wrinkled.
