Another Venezuelan city without electricity. Chavista's claim more "sabotage".

Puerto Cabello meets more than 48 hours without electricity

Yalezsa Zavala 5 Sep 2018.- Several sectors of the city of Puerto Cabello, in the state of Carabobo, have more than 48 hours of light this Wednesday, after a fault that was generated in the Valle Seco substation.

Sandra Marulanda (@ marulandasofia2) wrote through her Twitter account that last night service was restored in La Belisa and the area where Prince Lara Hospital is located.

However, areas such as Rancho Grande, Las Llaves, Santa Cruz, Tejerias, Valle Seco, San Esteban, Patanemo and the historic center of the city continue in the dark.

Yesterday, around 1:20 p.m., the state corporation said it is working to solve the fault. "Transmission and distribution personnel, with the support of the Puerto Cabello City Hall and the Naval Base, continue work on towers 23 and 75 to connect the bridges required to power the S / E Valle Seco in Puerto Cabello. ", wrote from the Twitter account of the state.

Governor Rafael Lacava, for his part, attributed the act to an act of "sabotage". "We have made three helicopter flights since last night, we are working to replace the tower, since these anti-social saboteurs bit us the lines and knocked us down a tower, since yesterday we are working without stopping to restore the service," he said.

The lack of electrical energy affects to a large extent the companies and businesses located in these areas, in addition to the customs and port activity.

Round up the usual suspects! Because it couldn't possibly be 19 years of infrastructure neglect!
