The blackout knocked out communications and the Caracas metro on Monday, forcing commuters to walk home or hustle for a spot on packed buses. The latest blackout didn't make much difference to people with scarce power in Maracaibo, Venezuela's second-largest city. But Maduro dug in, maintaining the support of Russia, Cuba and Venezuelan military leaders who ignored an opposition attempt to stoke a military rebellion on April 30. Guaid tweeted about the nationwide blackout, blaming it on the incompetence of a government that claims to espouse the socialist principles of Maduro's late predecessor, Hugo Chvez. The Caracas metro wasn't operating, though Energy Minister Freddy Brito said government workers were restoring power across the country.
