On March 30th, blackouts in Venezuela continued, as a result of alleged continuing attacks on infrastructure.
Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez announced that several synchronized attacks took place on March 29th and 30th.
“In an attempt to undermine the tranquility of our people, these two attacks, perpetrated on March 29 and 30, add to the past aggressions, just when the decisive action of the Government and the workers had achieved the restoration of the electric service,” the Venezuelan official said, as sectors of Caracas have reported no service beginning at approximately 7:11 p.m.

“We need to talk to those who are confused, to those who think you can negotiate with the far-right, we need to say ‘don’t surrender, the struggle is alive'”
“Dear empire, if you think one US solider is going to enter without Chavistas resistance, you’ve got another thing coming”
“The oligarchy will never return to the presidential palace, they’ll never set foot here.”
On March 29th, Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez questioned MSM silence while the US seeks to violate Venezuela’s sovereignty.
According to him, the US intelligence activities have gone up by 800% at the country’s borders, but MSM rather focuses on creating a “scandal” out of Venezuela and Russia’s military cooperation.
“No scandal is heard… when U.S. planes land in Cucuta [Colombia] or when the U.S. Air Force electronic signals surveillance around our territory have increased by 800%,” Padrino said and stressed that “when Venezuela’s sovereignty is about to be violated, nobody says anything!”
“Mr. John Bolton has sent me messages asking me to do the right thing and I say: we are doing the right thing, what is established in the Constitution,” Minister Padrino Lopez indicated and added that his job is to “respect and protect the People’s will and support the legitimate and legally constituted authorities.”
Maduro also tweeted that Venezuelans will be stronger than ever dispute the tribulations.
Tengo la plena convicción de que saldremos más fortalecidos que nunca en la batalla que hoy se nos presenta. Derrotaremos las agresiones con la fuerza que irradia el espíritu antiimperialista del Comandante Chávez. ¡El destino de las causas justas siempre será la victoria! pic.twitter.com/8zkUOoSuwv

“I have the fullest conviction that we will be stronger than ever in the battle that is now being presented to us. We will defeat aggressions with the force steeming from the anti-imperialist spirit of Comandante Chavez. The fate of just causes will always be victory!”
In support of Venezuela and against current and possible future US and NATO actions in the country, hundreds of activists marched in Washington, D.C.
The march was aimed at showing “mass popular opposition to NATO, wars, racism and US aggression against Venezuela,” the National Mobilization Steering Committee said.
