Caracas, January 19 (RHC)-- Venezuela's Ministry of Electric Energy reported Wednesday that workers of the National Electric Corporation (Corpoelec) restored the electric service to 100 percent in the southwestern region of the country, after the attack suffered by the National Electric System (SEN).

The entity thanked through a message on its social networks the work of Corpoelec forces that managed to recover service in that region.  "Our workforce is the backbone for the stabilization of our National Electric System, the pride of Venezuela."

Previously, the sectoral vice-president of Public Works and Services, G/J Néstor Luis Reverol Torres, announced that he was supervising and monitoring the maneuvers jointly with the teams from the National Dispatch Center.

Caracas says that the attacks to the electric infrastructure are part of a multiform sabotage that the Venezuelan extreme right wing deploys with external support to destabilize the country and generate discontent among citizens.

According to President Nicolás Maduro, the blockade imposed by the government of the United States has a bearing on these attempts to create internal conflicts.

Reverol denounced this Tuesday that destabilizing groups committed an act of sabotage that ended with the collapse of a tower of the Planta Centro-Valle Seco line in the Taborda sector of Puerto Cabello, in Carabobo, with the purpose of interrupting electrical service.
