Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido is in a power struggle with Nicolas Maduro.
The decision by the Supreme Court – which is controlled by Maduro loyalists – called on the ruling Constituent Assembly legislature to strip Guaido of his immunity could open the way for the opposition chief to be prosecuted. Maduro – whose government has blamed “terrorists” for alleged attacks that have damaged the country’s main hydroelectric power plant – announced that he was Igor Gavidia Leon to replace retired general Luis Motta Dominguez as energy minister.
“We fill up from a well near here but we don’t know if its drinkable. But we’re using it,” said Erimar Vale, who lives in the capital.Crippled infrastructure, little investment in the power grid and poor maintenance have all contributed to the country’s electricity woes. Another problem was the “de-professionalisation” of the sector when Chavez nationalised the power company in 2007 – a move that led to pro-government loyalists taking positions as managers and engineers.
