Translation: Moment in which the light goes away in the Congress of the PSUV. Diosdado asked "to ratify once and for all" Maduro as party president and give him "mad power"

Naturally, those in attendance gave a thunderous approval to giving Maduro absolute power to lord over the party and appoint those who he deemed fit within the party apparatus.

1. And without missing a beat, Maduro blames it all on... sabotage!

Maduro says that "blackout" in the PSUV Congress was a "sabotage"
July 30, 2018

ND / 30 Jul 2018.- President Nicolás Maduro assured that the "blackout" that took place on Monday night at the IV Congress of the PSUV, was a "sabotage", and not the recurring power failures that are recorded daily in the country.

"I was in the car listening to the congress just as Diosdado was about to announce the votes and I thought that a brawl had been formed on the platform," said President Maduro smiling.

"So then! not that it was the first time. They have seen case. And I said: -assure, we're going to arrive to see-, but it was not that, it was a sabotage of the light. There was no light in the hotel, or anywhere else, but someone wanted to say: we are watching you!"

FWIW, Caracas started its day today (7/31/18) with 80% of the city and surrounding area without any power.
