On the night of January 12 and early morning of the 13th, a power outage was recorded at the University Clinical Hospital, a medical center located in the Capital City. "They inform me that 2 patients died due to severe pathologies during the power outage that lasted more than 12 hours" informed union leader Mauro Zambrano. According to the testimonies of the workers and patients, the service was restored at 5 a.m. this Sunday. Although the authorities have indicated that the cut was due to a sabotage, Zambrano stressed that the plants did not turn on due to lack of maintenance. "That is the responsibility of Dr. Fernando Alvarado, director of the HUC."

"While they spent millions of bolivares at parties in December for high-level personnel, the hospital is increasingly deteriorated. The workers had informed the situation of the plants indicating that they do not have the tools to carry out their work and the authorities ignore it," the workers point out.

For his part Denis Guedez of the Venezuelan Workers Intersector said that the situation was complete chaos and that the deaths occurred in this accident are the responsibility of management. "It was reported several months ago that the 3 plants were without battery or diesel, could have gone light as other times has happened but these deaths are due to negligence"

Ah yes... more sabotage. This time in a hospital, where the obvious answer is the CIA trained Colombian orderlies stole all of the copper wiring from the exterior lines coming into the hospital. That the lines had not seen maintenance in nearly 20 years and had corroded, and there wasn't any wire to replace it isn't a convenient answer. And the batteries and diesel fuel was probably stolen too... that they hadn't seen maintenance in years isn't convenient.

But how about them dancing girls, eh? Life is hard at the top of the food chain!

1. Failure of Trumps intellect.

His wall will not stop people in Venezuela from dying. The poor and immobile will.continue to suffer and die. Trump.will exascorbate their dying by offering immigration to the educated and contributing Venezuelan citizens..There is no trace of humanitarian principles in our President.

I am saying that people become refugees because life is intolerant where they live. Trump building a wall on the border will not solve any problems. History shows the ineffectiveness of walls looking at the Maginot line for one example. Improving human rights and respect is the answer.

4. I would agree

Maduro and his henchmen has zero respect for human rights. To them, what is important is the Revolution.
