CARACAS/SAN CRISTOBAL, Venezuela - Much of Venezuela, including parts of the capital Caracas, remained without power on Monday for a fifth day, crimping vital oil exports and leaving people struggling to obtain water and food.
The opposition-controlled congress called an emergency session to discuss the power cuts, blaming negligence by Maduro’s socialist government. “This is driving me crazy,” said Naile Gonzalez in Chacaito, a commercial neighborhood of Caracas. “The government doesn’t want to accept that this is their fault because they haven’t carried out any maintenance in years.”

He said the government was rationing electricity, which explained why some parts of Caracas had power and others did not.
