11-03-19.-The president of the Association of Electrical Engineers in Venezuela, Wiston Cabas, reported on Monday during a press conference that the electrical situation is "complex" and requires trained personnel and resources that are not have in the country, reviewed the Caraota Digital portal.
"The thermoelectric generation of the country is on the ground," said Cabas. At the same time he said that, according to analysis, Corpoelec workers will take "a few prudential days" to fix the situation.
The engineer explained that the government of Nicolás Maduro must put pressure on the Venezuelan state company, PDVSA, to manufacture the fuels needed by thermoelectric, diesel and gas, to solve the fault that was generated in the Guri.
"The states are paying for the crisis. The government has to inform the truth about what happens, but since they do not, anxiety and anguish are generated. "
Cabas denied the statements of government officials, who insist that the failures did not occur due to lack of investment or maintenance but because of an "attack" generated by the Donald Trump government.
"There is no way to access the interconnected system of the Guri, and if they are going to do it physically there is a platoon of the National Armed Force (FAN) that prevents the entry of people."
He also asked the government to allow an audit to analyze and evaluate the failures. He also urged that the Maduro Minister of Electric Power, Luis Motta Domínguez, be asked to report on the activities carried out during his tenure.
"We have been alerting the situation for more than 10 years so that this did not happen and they did nothing," he said.
