VOICED: El precio de la gasolina barata

The video discusses Venezuela's implementation of a fuel rationing system using barcodes to curb gasoline smuggling to Colombia. Despite having the world's cheapest fuel, Venezuela faces significant economic losses due to contraband. The chip system is introduced in Táchira and Zulia, but smugglers continue to profit by selling fuel across the border. The contraband trade supports many families in Colombia, where unemployment is high. Local Venezuelan authorities criticize the system for affecting citizens and targeting small-scale smugglers rather than major players. The chip system remains controversial but is likely to persist.
