The national leader also denounced that the extreme right wing wanted to cause a blackout to prevent the election results and cause greater tension in the population with the help of the international media, to transmit to the world the idea of an uprising, which is provoked by themselves:
“What they did manage to do was to attack the data system of the National Electoral Council, and also damaged some of the offices of this entity,” he said.
He recalled that last Friday, July 26, were captured some individuals who intended to attack the Ureña Electric Substation, to leave that region of the country without electricity and, in addition, that chain of events would affect 10 states of Venezuela:
“And they do not stop with their plans. The logisticians of the plan to sabotage the Ureña Electric Substation fled to Colombia, they have already been identified,” said Maduro.
