The Venezuelan National Guard (GNB) responded to a protest in Aragua regarding widespread electricity cuts. This incident occurs amid a severe crisis within Venezuela’s National Electric System, which currently operates with a deficit exceeding 1,500 megawatts. The system is functioning at only 40% of its installed operational capacity. The GNB’s response followed unrest sparked by ongoing power failures affecting residents of Aragua. Officials attributed the issues to “global warming”, a claim made in relation to the protests. The power crisis continues to escalate across the nation, highlighting longstanding infrastructure problems within Venezuela. The situation underscores the fragile state of the country’s power grid and its impact on daily life.
