People are complaining about price controls being relaxed (a bit) on fuel, too. Look at this[1]:
> Mr. Maduro hasn’t specified when gasoline prices may start rising. Some of his detractors have started to call his plan a “neoliberal” austerity package that undermines the socialist ideology long espoused by his ruling party.
I'm not sure the people would stand for what's needed to fix the problem -- they know they don't want the country in the destroyed state it's in, but I'm not sure they're all on the same page on what's needed to fix it aside from "less corruption please".
For the suggestions in the top-level comments that might just apply to subsidies, though. I'm sure allowing imports, exports (and international aid...) would be broadly popular.
