"Venezuela thanks Cuba for support after severe blackout and denounces electrical sabotage."

The Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Yván Gil, has expressed his gratitude to the Cuban government for its support in what he has described as an "electrical sabotage" that left much of the country without power last Friday. In a message shared via Telegram, Gil emphasized the importance of solidarity among friendly nations in times of crisis, highlighting that Cuba's backing is essential to confront what he describes as an attempt at destabilization by external actors. The blackout situation was severe, affecting most Venezuelan states. According to reports, this event is considered the second longest blackout in the country's recent history, surpassed only by the incident that occurred in March 2019. During that episode, the government accused the opposition and foreign governments, specifically the United States and Colombia, of being behind the failures in the electrical supply, creating a context of international and political tension. President Nicolás Maduro joined the narrative of sabotage, claiming that a social media account called "Anonymous" had previously threatened a national blackout. Maduro did not hesitate to link this account to the "far-right" and asserted that there is evidence of a conspiracy. However, he did not provide specific details about the mechanisms used in the attack, mentioning that investigations were ongoing. Additionally, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez also spoke out strongly about the incident, labeling the attack on the electrical system as an attempt to destabilize Venezuela and undermine the peace of the Venezuelan people. Rodríguez called on the international community to cease harassment against the Caribbean nation, thereby deepening the solidarity between the two countries that have maintained close ties over the years, especially in the political and economic spheres. In this context, the Venezuelan government's response has focused on demonstrating resilience in the face of the crisis. Gil stated that citizens have faced the situation "with fortitude," and expressed that electrical service has been restored in much of the country, asserting that "fascism" has been defeated. However, many citizens still experience uncertainty and frustration over the frequency of these blackouts and the overall state of the country's infrastructure. On the other hand, it has been observed that blackouts in Venezuela not only lead to problems with electrical supply but also affect basic services such as water, healthcare, and telecommunications. The consequences of these events are felt in all corners of the country, amplifying social discontent and triggering a series of protests in various cities. Meanwhile, in a parallel development, the Mexican government has announced that it will begin transporting migrants who have scheduled appointments in the 'CBP One' application of the United States. This measure, according to Mexican authorities, aims to facilitate the legal migration process and offer alternatives to those attempting to reach U.S. territory, in a context where migration remains one of the hottest topics in international politics. The situation in Venezuela and the government's response to the blackout and electrical issues could have repercussions both internally and in its foreign relations, especially with nations that have shown interest in the recovery of stability in the country. The sabotage narrative may be used to reinforce national unity, but it could also result in greater international isolation. Thus, both the electrical crisis in Venezuela and the diplomatic response from its allies, such as Cuba, reflect a complex scenario where internal politics and international relations are intrinsically intertwined. With a country struggling against instability and a constantly changing regional environment, Venezuela's future appears to remain uncertain.
