REDACTED Page 178 of 190 Furthermore, on February 8, Día a Día’s external lawyer Tadeo Arrieche was arrested under the same charges. 789 Arrieche was found to be responsible for boycott with the aggravating circumstance of economic destabilization, despite the fact that he had no authority to make any kind of administrative, operational or logistic decision whatsoever.790 Similarly, on May 3, Día a Día’s General Manager for Caracas West Zone Jorge Fernández was arrested under the charge of boycott following a direct order of the of the Vice President of Security and Sovereignty of Foods Carlos Osorio himself, following instructions of Nicolás Maduro.791 Once again, they argued that their were incentivizing the queues in the store in order to boycott the GoV. Maduro’s words addressing the Venezuelan population: “This is a sabotage of undercover groups, of corrupt persons, of bureaucrats who do not care about the people […]. I need your help in every corner, on the street to solve these problems. This is sabotage”792 While Maduro alleged that Día a Día was boycotting the national economy, presenting as main evidence of this crime the fact that long queues could be seen in their supermarkets, and ignoring the fact that the queues in the GoV’s supermarkets were much longer due to scarcity. 793 In the meantime, the Vice President of the Republic Jorge Arreaza asked for “zero tolerance” against the queues.794 789 ALONSO, J.F.
