The dictatorship of Maduro announced the opening of an investigation against Juan Guaidó for alleged "electrical sabotage"

The Venezuelan Attorney General, Tarek Saab, announced Tuesday that he had asked the Supreme Court of Justice to open a new investigation to the Leader of the Opposition, Juan Guaidó, proclaimed interim president, for allegedly considering as one of the officials of the supposed "national electrical sabotage"

The head of Chavez, in a statement on the public channel, said that calls for precautionary measures against Guaidó, recognized by dozens of countries as the highest authority in Venezuela, which has been experiencing an electricity crisis since last Thursday.

In January, the country's highest court had already opened a previous investigation of Guaidó at Saab's request for protests earlier this year. In this context, the Court prohibited him from leaving the country and froze the accounts of the Speaker of Parliament. The measure was ignored by Guaidó, who left the country to try to provide humanitarian aid and returned to Caracas through Migrations, without any inconvenience.

Maduro badures that the blackout is the product of a "sabotage" in the country 's main hydroelectric power station, the Guri, although it did not detail the details of the charge.

As supposed test, Saab attorney introduced a tweet from Guaidó, in which the politician wrote that "Venezuela is clear that the light comes with the cessation of the usurpation". In addition, he accused him of inciting violence.

For its part, the opposition argues that the power outage was due to mismanagement of the energy authorities and lack of investment in the system. In his first reaction to the news, Guaidó said: "They said that there was an exit ban and that we visited the south of the country, we are firmer than ever and we are facing people.

Venezuela, the country with the largest proven oil reserves in the world, is in the midst of an acute economic crisis that has led to failures of public services, including electricity.
