Dakazo refers to a set of actions taken by the Venezuelan government forcing consumer electronic retail stores, with Daka being the most prominent, to sell products at much lower prices on 8 November 2013, weeks before municipal elections.[1] The forced Daka price changes helped Venezuela's ruling party, PSUV, win in some of the municipal elections,[2] though the massive sale of goods caused further shortages in the months following the initiative.[1]
