The Breadmaker: on the frontline of Venezuela's bakery wars

In the midst of Venezuela’s spiralling economic crisis, Natalia and fellow members of a socialist Chavista collective have stepped in to take over production at a local bakery, La Minka. Authorities had suspended operations when the owners were accused of overpricing their loaves and hoarding flour.
