Venezuela’s Public Defender, Eglée González Lobato, has responded to ongoing electricity failures in the state of Zulia by creating a technical working group. This initiative follows a meeting with former Maracaibo mayor, Rafael Ramírez, to discuss the critical situation. The Public Defender’s office is establishing communication channels with the “Zulian Table for Self-Sufficiency” to coordinate efforts. The move aims to address widespread disruptions to the power supply impacting residents and businesses in Zulia. Details regarding the group’s specific mandate and expected outcomes are yet to be released. This action underscores growing concerns over the reliability of Venezuela’s infrastructure and public services. The Public Defender’s intervention signals a commitment to advocating for citizens affected by the ongoing power issues.
