I don't know if you have noticed that purchasing power has gone down at the same time that Maduro has raised the minimum wage. There are no lobbies left in the country to pressure Maduro. What you call decency is being poorer and poorer and going hungrier and hungrier.
That's why I said that this thing should happen a long time because right now it will be problematic since they are experiencing a hyperinflation. I know that raising wages causes inflation but in a healthy inflation, it is a good thing.
You're another one who doesn't read. They are in the fourth year of hyperinflation, and in these 4 years the minimum wage has not stopped rising:
It was also raised in 2019 and 2020, a simple google search tells you that.
