委内瑞拉自上周四全国七成行政洲区大停电后，目前部分区域仍陷黑暗。
在周六的一场集会中，总统马杜罗宣称美国与委国反对党，企图妨碍这场电力大战的修复工作。
美国国务卿蓬佩奥则驳斥美国涉入的指控，他在推特上发文：「电力短缺和饥饿是因马杜罗政权无能所导致」。
反对派领导人瓜伊多，在首都加拉加斯面对支持者时，呼吁民众向总统马杜罗施压要求下台。
自立为临时总统的他也在集会中提到，可能援引委国宪法第187条。
该法条予以委内瑞拉国民议会，邀请外国武力进驻采取行动的权利。
但总统马杜罗反对外国武力介入，认为这么做只会造成执政党和反对党的支持者两败俱伤。
委国经济危机持续恶化，民众对电力短缺早已习以为常。
但这么大规模的停电并不常发生。
在停电的情况下，医院无力提供医疗服务，也无法储存需冷藏的药品。

A blackout is ongoing in some parts of Venezuela after 70% of the nation lost electricity on Thursday.
At a rally on Saturday, President Nicolas Maduro claimed that the US and Venezuela’s opposition were stifling attempts to restore the grid in an “electricity war.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rejected Maduro’s claims of US meddling. Pompeo tweeted, “Power shortages and starvation are the result of the Maduro regime’s incompetence.”
Opposition leader Juan Guido addressed supporters in Caracas, encouraging them to demand regime change.
Under Article 187, Venezuela’s National Assembly can allow foreign military missions into the country.
The self-declared interim president cited potential activation of Article 187 of the Venezuelan Constitution.
Maduro countered that foreign military intervention would negatively affect both pro-government and pro-opposition groups.
With the increasing severity of the country’s economic crisis, blackouts often occur in Venezuela.
However, power loss of this scale is uncommon.
Without electricity, many hospitals have been unable to treat patients or to save medicines that require refrigeration.
