Venezuelans prepared to hold protests over shortages of power and water as the government appeared to begin a rationing programme.
Caracas - Venezuelans on Monday prepared to hold protests over continued shortages of power and water following angry demonstrations as the government of President Nicolas Maduro appeared to begin a rationing programme.
Demonstrators in several neighbourhoods of eastern Caracas were calling for street protests to demand a return of basic services, which have crippled commerce and led to constant cancellation of school activities since the start of March. "We'll see each other in the streets tomorrow," Guaido, who invoked the country's constitution to assume an interim presidency in January after arguing Maduro's May 2018 re-election was illegitimate, tweeted on Sunday night. "We will not hide from the dictator."
Electricity supplies have been intermittent in the capital city Caracas for several days. On Monday morning, the power was on in some blocks but not in adjacent ones.
