------------------------------------------------------------------------

The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, today described the 
electrical sabotage perpetrated last Thursday, March 7, of the 
most cruel blow in the history of the South American country.

 From the Miraflores Palace (headquarters of the government), the Head 
of State explained all the steps for the reinstatement carried out by 
the officials and workers of the National Electric Corporation 
(Corpolec) before the cybernetic attack against the Venezuelan 
Electroenergetic System.

In this regard, the president explained that the first attack was made 
to the technology area of the Simón Bolívar hydroelectric plant (El 
Guri), which supplies electricity for 80 percent of the nation.

Maduro, emphasized that after 70 percent of the service in the capital 
was restored, the vandals paid by the opposition physically attacked the 
La Ciudadela substation, located in the Baruta municipality, Miranda 
state, to shut down Caracas again.

Faced with the insistent situation of destabilization, the dignitary 
ordered the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) to monitor the 
territory to guarantee the safety of the citizens

He went on to explain that the three phases of attacks came about as 
follows:

1.) Cybernetic attack ...

�� An attack on the computerized system of the company CORPOELEC at the 
El Guri hydroelectric plant

�� A group of cyber warfare experts was used to recover the system.

2.) Electromagnetic Way:

�� Mobile devices with high frequencies were used to knock down 
communications

3.) Physical Way:

�� The burning and direct bombings of substations and electrical stations

The president denounced that the sabotage is "a great violation of human 
rights in our country by the right wing, who celebrate national suffering."
