Venezuelan Embassy goes dark as standoff intensifies on streets of Washington.
The sun had just dipped below the horizon Wednesday evening when the lights flicked off inside the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington.
Waves of cheers rolled up and down the ordinarily sleepy Georgetown street that has become ground zero in an intensifying standoff between backers of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó and left-wing activists who support President Nicolás Maduro.
With no electricity, activists who have been living inside the building are adjusting to the latest obstacle in their month-long occupation of the embassy.
Getting food inside has been one of the biggest challenges for the past 10 days, with anti-Maduro protesters and Secret Service barricades blocking most of the doors. Then Thursday, activists announced they will be cutting back on their primary source of communication with the outside world: social media. With no power to charge their devices, there will be less tweeting and fewer video streams.
Organizers with Code Pink, a left-wing organization known for its theatrical and provocative protests, said the utility bills had been paid in full by the Maduro-led Venezuelan government.
But Pepco, the building’s electricity provider, told activists the U.S.-backed opposition government had ordered the power be shut off, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin said.
“The owner of the building told them to turn off the electricity and then we were told that they say the owner of the building is Carlos Vecchio,” Benjamin said, referring to the Guaidó-appointed U.S. ambassador. “It is the government of Maduro that has been paying all the bills all along for this building, including the Pepco bill, which is up to date.”
