VOICED : Protestas en Maracaibo por cortes de luz

Venezuelans in Maracaibo protested against government-imposed power outages due to a severe drought. The protests were fueled by a lack of food, services, and electricity, with electricity being rationed to benefit Caracas. The energy rationing plan began with outages lasting up to ten hours, causing businesses to close out of fear of unrest. The government implemented energy-saving measures, including reducing public sector workdays. A survey revealed that over 13% of Venezuelans eat only once a day, highlighting the country's food scarcity issues.
