CARACAS - Venezuela blamed an “attack” on its electric system for a blackout on Monday, the second to hit the OPEC nation this month, that shuttered businesses, plunged the main airport into darkness and left commuters stranded in the capital.
Service was restored in many areas within hours on Monday and Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez said in a televised broadcast that power was being “progressively reestablished.” Guaido has been recognized as Venezuela’s rightful leader by most Western countries, including the United States. Maduro, a socialist who took office in 2013 and who has the support of Russia and China, says Guaido is a U.S. puppet attempting to lead a coup against him.
While blackouts have long been common in Venezuela, their increasing frequency and severity is adding to the desperation of Venezuelans, already living through hyperinflation and six straight years of economic contraction.
Viva Socialismo! Viva Maduro! Defecate on USA!
Who benefits the most from power outages? It's not Maduro....
It's not Venezuela, please it is Maduro and his followers
That government needs to go. They are a disgrace. Unfortunately we are the only one in the world who could do the right thing. But should we? Russia, China - shame on you !
