CARACAS/VALENCIA, Venezuela - Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido on Wednesday called on supporters to take to the streets this weekend in protest of a major nationwide blackout that has left millions without power for three straight days.
“The time has come to agitate in every state, in every community, to get water back, get electricity back, get gas back,” said Guaido, the leader of the opposition-controlled National Assembly who invoked the constitution to assume an interim presidency in January, arguing President Nicolas Maduro’s May 2018 re-election was illegitimate.
In the western agriculture-heavy state of Tachira, more than 100,000 liters of milk spoiled after 40 hours without electricity for refrigeration, according to Leonardo Figueroa, the head of the state ranchers’ association. Guaido has been recognized as Venezuela’s rightful leader by most Western and South American countries, and the United States has hit Maduro’s government with sanctions meant to cripple the Socialist Party’s sources of income.
