-- Venezuela ’s electric supply is being reestablished after a 12-hour blackout that hit all the nation’s 24 states early on Friday, President Nicolás Maduro said on state television .Authorities are investigating the alleged attack on the Guri hydroelectric plant transmission systems in southeastern Venezuela after the power outage , Maduro said. Measures taken after a previous 2019 attack worked to protect Guri, the main source of the country’s electricity, according to Maduro.
As electricity returned in some areas of the capital on Friday afternoon, much of the country remained without power. The metro was still out of service and lines formed outside of fuel stations as Venezuelans braced for the worst. Earlier in the day, Maduro blamed the power failure on “desperate attacks from fascists” in his Telegram channel. Information Minister Freddy Ñañez said the government had activated its “anti-coup protocols” to fight “sabotage from extreme-right powers.”
