Electricity shortages and protests in Venezuela

Overview

Residents in various regions of Venezuela have reported significant disruptions to electrical services. In the Fundación Mendoza sector of Barcelona, Anzoátegui, community members criticized nightly rationing implemented by the National Electric Corporation (Corpoelec), describing the lack of power during evening hours as “cruel” and “inhumane.”

In Maturín, residents escalated their response to continuous electricity failures by blocking roads toward La Pica. Protesters utilized tire burning, barricades, and ‘concacerolazos’ to demonstrate against outages lasting more than nine hours. These demonstrations affected multiple neighborhoods, including La Democracia and Sueños de Bolívar, prompting the arrival of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) to mediate as tensions increased.
