Different stories on subsidized foods

[NewsWhore]

Depending on just where the reporters went, subsidized foods were or were not available. Diario Libre reporter Jesus Arias Parra said that food retailers in some parts of Santo Domingo reported that they had never received any of the subsidized foods, like rice, eggs or chicken. One market stall-owner in the Ivan Guzman sector said that he had never received any of the products and that his customers are always asking for rice and beans at the special prices. This was also the case in the areas of Bayona, Villa Juana and Engombe. At the Lluberes market in Villa Juana, stall-owners said that they received subsidized rice before the elections but none since the elections. On the other hand, Jhovanny Leyba, an executive with the Federation of Traders and Food Retailers, told the reporter that they were receiving massive amounts of rice and beans. He said that his federation had distributed foodstuffs in Herrera and Los Alcarrizos. He admitted that the rice does not get to all the markets, and called on market vendors who wanted the rice to approach the federation.
