[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Haydee Teran, a 48-year-old housewife who had been lining up for hours at the supermarket hoping to buy some scarce essentials, said Guarenas officials ordered that half of the food deliveries heading to shops and markets be instead diverted for local distribution.

So, will this food be distributed to all residents, or just the party faithful?

"..officials ordered that half of the food deliveries heading to shops and markets be instead diverted for local distribution."

Tolerance Sucks Rocks :" So, will this food be distributed to all residents,
or just the party faithful?"

Sounds to me that the party faithful are considered 'all residents', but it's the party faithful and the military who have kept him in office.
The party faithful have seen the shine come off this administration , and they are not duped any further.
The former 'party faithful' will join those who are already in the streets rioting for food, especially when they run out of food
In the streets , the rioters will be met by a now well fed military whose main function will be crowd control .
Undoubtedly, that will give rise to even more crowd control issues, more rioting ,and probably violence.
