Netflix Venezuela: how many minimum wages is the monthly plan equivalent to?
On May 1, for the International Day of the Worker in Venezuela, citizens waited for the president of the llanero country, Nicolás Maduro, to finally announce an increase in the minimum wage.
However, the president ignored the requests. Therefore, to date the minimum wage in Venezuela remains at 135 bolivars, that is, 5.30 dollarsaccording to the rate of the Central Bank of Venezuela.
In that sense, with a whole minimum wage in Venezuela, it would be possible to only subscribe to the basic plan of Netflix (3.99 dollars), getting just over a dollar in surplus.
