Delcy Rodriguez name US Senator as fiend behind collapse of entire Venezuelan electrical grid
Venezuelan VP: Marco Rubio Behind Nation-Wide Blackout Sabotage
Venezuela's Vice President Delcy Rodriguez announced late Thursday that President Nicolas Maduro ordered schools and offices be shut on Friday in order to speed up the repairs of the Venezuelan electric system, which was attacked by far-right groups Thursday afternoon.
"President Nicolas Maduro has suspended work and school activities on Friday so as to facilitate the necessary repair works on the country's electrical service, which was victim of an imperial war. United Venezuelans will win! The coup plotters will not pass," Rodriguez wrote on her Twitter account.
In a press conference, the Vice President denounced that Venezuela's blackout was caused by far-right groups encouraged by U.S. politicians. Among these, she referred to Marco Rubio, a Republican Senator from Florida hostile to the Venezuelan government, who posted a tweet just 3 minutes after the blackout began.
"We want to send a message to the international community: just three minutes after the attack, Marco Rubio, once again, as a crime reporter, reported on the event that was happening in our country," Rodriguez said and added "Mr. Rubio, I want to inform you that, in a few hours, the Venezuelan people and the international community will know the truth. We'll know that your rotten hands - supported by your lackeys who permanently attack the Venezuelan people - are involved in this"

Wow. Now our Senators have the ability to shut down the infrastructure of entire countries. I guess our electeds in Senate/Congress join the CIA, Colombia, Spain, Brazil, Trump/Obama/Bush/Clinton, the EU, the Illuminati, ninjas, Portuguese pig farmers, fornicating iguanas and the Sun being too close to Venezuela as the known conspirators against the Bolivarian Revolution.
Still dark in Caracas, despite the rantings of her histrionic brother Jorge.

........I never fail to comment that if the opposition is this powerful after being on the outside looking in for the last 20 years, imagine what they could do if they were in power today.
The result is always the same.
