Venezuelans take to streets in rival rallies

Two rival rallies took place in Venezuela’s capital on Saturday after blackouts that left people without electricity and water.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro supporters marched to the presidential palace, after he tweeted “Let’s fill the streets of Caracas with joy.”

During the rally Madura said he is willing to negotiate and support any step for dialogue.

In his remarks, he blamed cyberattacks from Colombia and Chile for the recent power outages.

Opposition leader Juan Guaido, who declared himself interim president in late January, urged his supporters to be united and pressure the government until Maduro leaves.
