Hoot! Venezuelan governor blames "The Solar System" for blackouts

Amazing! Zulia Governorate now blames the solar system for the blackouts

In a press conference this April 30, on the occasion of the most recent blackouts. Lisandro Cabello, Secretary of the Interior, had an unusual excuse for the serious situation. The official explained that everything is caused by the equinox, which is when the sun is located on the east plane of the equator and reaches its highest point in the sky.

The causes of the equinox are that the days and nights take the same duration during the 24 hours. However, Cabello said that because of this phenomenon, the sun is closer and produces more heat, which would lead to the failure of the system.

"Of course in Zulia, normally when there is cold in the world here there is heat, there is much more of this situation. We must help from each home to help lower that situation. When the climate issue improves, it will immediately improve. But we are working to give them each and every one of that tranquility ", he assured with errors in the way of pronouncing the word equinox.

Well, how about that? Forgetting, of course, that the rest of the earth DOESN'T have nationwide blackouts due to "The Solar System". I thought that the "fornicating iguanas" excuse for the epic failures of Chavismo couldn't be topped, but here you have it!
