A significant power outage affected Caracas and many states in Venezuela early Friday, with President Nicolas Maduro's administration attributing the disruption to 'electrical sabotage' by opponents. Communications Minister Freddy Nanez labeled the incident as a 'desperate' attempt to destabilize the government, while local residents coped with the impacts, which included reduced traffic but disruptions to cellphone service. This incident recalls past outages linked more to infrastructure issues than sabotage, as many Venezuelans continue to face the consequences of a struggling power grid.
