On Tuesday night, the Venezuelan opposition reported a major blackout affecting at least three regions in the western part of the country, accompanied by a severe voltage drop in the capital, Caracas. The incident was formally denounced by the political party Vente Venezuela (VV), led by opposition figure María Corina Machado.
The power failure underscores the ongoing fragility of Venezuela's national electrical grid, a critical infrastructure issue that frequently impacts daily life in the oil-producing nation. The event adds to a history of widespread blackouts that have historically heightened political tensions between the government and opposition forces.
