The electric energy war, declared by the United States, will not succeed, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said amid power outage across the South American country and what the national electricity supplier called a “sabotage” at the major hydroelectric power plant.
“The electric energy war declared and directed by the US imperialists against our people will be destroyed. Nothing and nobody will win over the people of [Venezuela’s late leader Hugo] Chavez,” Maduro wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
La guerra eléctrica anunciada y dirigida por el imperialismo estadounidense en contra de nuestro pueblo será derrotada. Nada ni nadie podrá vencer al pueblo de Bolívar y Chávez. ¡Máxima unidad de los patriotas!
