Venezuelans are skeptical of President Nicolas Maduro's claims that saboteurs caused a blackout that left about 70 percent of the country without electricity and caused chaos in Caracas, interrupting subway service and snarling traffic.
For many, no explanation is necessary: Government neglect and incompetence caused the blackouts that have plagued the country for years while rarely affecting the capital.
Maduro claimed sabotage by "the extreme right-wing" for the outage that left 14 of 23 states without power much of Tuesday. He did not present any evidence.
