Alfred-Maurice de Zayas, former secretary of the Human Rights Committee of the UN, recounts that, four weeks before the coup d’etat of Augusto Pinochet against the Chilean president, “there was precisely a blackout.” “Salvador Allende was in the middle of a speech when that happens, and evidently behind the blackout was sabotage,” he said.
The expert explains that the idea behind this type of acts is to cause “anxiety” and “confusion”, which in turn is combined with the sanctions of the North American country to generate “chaos” in Venezuela. “The United States, then, is causing this chaos. He wants to present himself as a good Samaritan,” stressed De Zayas.
