Delcy Rodríguez denounced alleged sabotage of the electrical system, linking it to protests over the US oil agreement.

A blackout occurred in western Venezuela, including Zulia state, which Rodríguez attributed to manipulated gas pressures.

Rodríguez claimed PDVSA Gas workers detected irregularities in gas valve operations that could collapse the electrical grid.

The government signed agreements with Chevron, Eni, and GE Vernova, allowing US control of over 20% of oil reserves.

The claims, made testable

• asserted — check unavailable Delcy Rodríguez denounced alleged sabotage of the electrical system, linking it to protests over the US oil agreement. (evidence: not measured)

Pattern: 600 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on Electrical grid sabotage, Oil agreements, US-Venezuela relations, Energy crisis.

What would change the assessment

• If no additional major blackouts attributed to sabotage occur within 30 days following the accusations (within 30 days — Corpoelec outage reports and news wires)
• If an official investigation by Venezuelan authorities identifies specific individuals or groups responsible for the alleged sabotage within 90 days (within 90 days — Venezuelan government announcements and judicial records)
