Venezuela power flickers after worst blackout in decades

Power went out across the recession-stricken country on Thursday afternoon due to a problem at Venezuela's main hydroelectric plant, the government said, calling the event an act of "sabotage" by ideological adversaries. Neither Socialist Party officials nor state power company Corpoelec have provided further updates on the situation. Opposition leader Juan Guaido, who most Western nations recognize as Venezuela's legitimate head of state, criticized the government for bungling the country's energy supply and said Maduro was the one sabotaging the nation.
