David Rincon carries water from his pet shop to a woman who does not have water at her home in Caracas, Venezuela, on March 26, 2019.CARACAS, Venezuela — Much of Venezuela remained without electricity Tuesday as a new power outage spread across the country in what many feared will be a repeat of the chaos during the nation’s largest-ever blackout earlier this month.
“A macabre, perverse plan constructed in Washington and executed with factions of the extreme Venezuelan right,” Vice President Delcy Rodriguez declared on state television, describing it as an “electromagnetic” assault. Sitting on a bench in a plaza, 72-year-old Armando Taioli said he believed the nationwide blackout was the result of years of neglect of the power grid, compounded by pressures on the system from an expanding population. He gestured at people walking in the streets or traveling in buses and said they were adapting as best they could, but that he fears social unrest if the situation deteriorates.
Guaidó, who the U.S. and dozens of other countries recognize as Venezuela’s rightful leader, said he was meeting with aides to determine actions “to express the indignation of the entire population.”
