For me there is a kind of symbiosis between bachaqueo and the Government. I proceed to structure my argument:
The Government's speech is to denounce a war from the business sector and keep very low prices on products of first necessity. These products are not available in shops at that price normally, but they are available on the street at higher prices. The Government says that it is hoarding and destabilization, the private sector says that it produces and that its disappearance is the product of economic distortion. On the street you always get it if you pay much more.
The bachaqueros, badly enough, are allowing (albeit at scandal costs) access to basic necessities, which the government and the private sector are not doing.
There are definitely effective and well-established mechanisms that make the bachaqueros have an effective access to the products. Although the government manages the distribution routes and in principle has apparently controlled all the production by private companies, which must inform everything to the Executive, it is not complicated to imagine that there must also be some corruption behind the companies that have access apart from that production, perhaps not reported. And if they are not in the companies, they must be members of the institutions.
From here arise questions: Who supplies the bachaqueros? How is it that they are always supplied? Why do not the police bodies act against them?
Evidently some officials will be involved in the mafia, but none of them seems to act. Any guideline?
My conclusion:
The government does not directly attack the bachaqueo because it is who allows the population to have access to the products while the stores do not have sufficient inventory, which the Executive takes advantage of for his benefactor speech that he uses as a strategy to show himself as one more victim and at the same time an attempt of savior and protective hero to offer low prices in the products, although this is not achieved and you have to go to those bachaqueros.
