CARACAS, Venezuela (AFP) — President Nicolas Maduro’s government said Monday that a new blackout across much of the country was an “attack” against the electricity system, adding that work was being carried out to bring back power.
Communications Minister Jorge Rodriguez said on state television that the attack targeted the country’s principal hydroelectric plant, Guri, as in the last, nationwide blackout that hit Venezuela earlier this month.
