The government of Nicolás Maduro attributes the electrical crisis to programmed attacks, mainly from the United States, and to international sanctions that prevent modernizing the electrical system and giving it the required maintenance.
Last Tuesday the NGO Doctors for Health revealed, in its bulletin of the National Hospital Survey (ENH), that 40% of public health centers in Venezuela report “recurring” electrical failures, a number that should be “zero”.
According to the Committee for Those Affected by Blackouts, failures increased by 22% last year, when at least 233,298 interruptions were recorded, compared to 2021, the year that closed with some 190,006 service cuts.
