The Secretary General of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, this Wednesday, April 30, assured that the power blackout that occurred in Europe cannot be compared with the situation experienced at the time in Venezuela, where in truth the power failure was the result of an attack on the National Electricity System (SEN).

“Here in Venezuela the power didn't go out, but they carried out a brutal attack on the Electric System. Sabotage announced by the United States, that they were going to do it,” he emphasized.

In that sense, Cabello ironized when he asked: “Why the blackout? Are there iguanas there?” , before which the audience burst out in laughter.

“The worst thing about that is the explanation they were giving (European authorities). Because in Cuba, too, the power went out and in Venezuela the light went out,” he said.

This was stated by Cabello, referring to massive blackouts in several European countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, part of Italy and Switzerland.

In his Con El Mazo Dando program, broadcast number 524, he specified that eight hours after the blackout, “there was nothing left in the supplies, nothing. Frightened people.”

“There (Europe) there is no political direction,” he said, while recalling that because of that attack on the SEN, “I remember that we went to the radio to talk to the people. There's no political direction there, there's nothing.”

“They're very used to comfort,” he said.
