This so called strategy that Maduro is using is not real. The owners of the store are long time collaborators to the regime. The untold story is that this guys sold their inventory and store to the government and left to Panama where they opened a brand new electronic store. On the other hand, Maduro calls the masses to take the store merchandise while being protected by the militaries. Now he comes out with this cheap prices strategy when in reality is just sending a message to the remaining big store owners: Either play with me or that is the fate of your store.
Looking at it from the strategy point of view is brilliant but the consequences will be disastrous for the people of Venezuela, my birth country :(
