Nationwide Blackout Leaves 65% of Venezuelan States in the Dark

Ahhhh... the joys of Socialism
[Breitbart] At least 15 of Venezuela’s 23 states woke up without access to electricity on Wednesday after another power outage occurred in the early hours of the morning.

According to local media, the affected entities included the states Nueva Esparta, Zulia, Táchira, Mérida, Lara, Falcón, Miranda, Carabobo, Yaracuy, and some areas of the capital Caracas. There were also reports of minor disruption in the states of Bolívar and Barinas.

Although power had been restored by mid-morning, another blackout took place around 3 p.m., affecting 15 states across the country, many of whom lost access to the internet.

By late afternoon on Wednesday, neither Minister of Energy Freddy Brito nor any other representative of Nicolás Maduro's regime had explained why it had occurred.

Venezuela has been afflicted by power outages since March this year, when around 70 percent of the country received little to no electricity for nearly a week. Maduro repeatedly accused the United States of being behind the attack, despite failing to provide evidence of such claims.

#2 Maduro repeatedly accused the United States of being behind the attack, despite failing to provide evidence of such claims.

Seems to me that their earlier issues had to do with the maintenance, or lack thereof, for the various power plant infrastructure and equipment essentials that require it.

No surprise if they didn't learn their lesson(s).
