Venezuelans struggle amid massive blackouts, while Maduro holds on.
CARACAS, Venezuela — Each morning, when Angela Carlucci wakes up, she must make difficult decisions.
Venezuela’s minister of communications, Jorge Rodriguez, said the outage was a “brutal” attack on the country’s hydroelectric plant. Maduro has called the outages acts of “sabotage” and has blamed the opposition and the United States. The crowd included only about 200 people, a far cry from the thousands that had swamped his rallies two months ago, when he first declared himself the interim president and was recognized as the nation's leader by 50 countries.
But in a Caracas public housing complex built several years ago with help from China, Maduro has strong support. Jenny Castro said she would have never owned her small apartment if it weren’t for the government. She called Guiadó a traitor — and wants to see him arrested.
