Four specialized companies are working to resolve the emergency that occurred at the Taguacita pumping station, located in the Independencia municipality of Miranda state, where a series of explosions occurred this Thursday at dawn affecting 50% of the electrical power cells, causing an interruption in the service of the Tuy II System (Caracas water network). The Minister for Interior Relations, Justice and Peace, Néstor Reverol, indicated that it was a deliberate sabotage and they hope that, by Sunday, the situation may be resolved.

Orinoco Tribune operates without any advertising. We are not funded by any governments, think tanks, or large institutions. Our operations are entirely funded by readers like you. Our most generous donors have been targeted by the US for supporting socialist causes or are financially struggling. As a result, their accounts have been frozen, cutting off a significant revenue stream and severely threatening the sustainability of Orinoco Tribune.

We urge our readers and supporters, especially those not currently doing so, to help us with small donation (such as US $5 or $10/month) via Patreon, via Paypal/Credit-Card/crypto or via paper checks. Readers and supporters like you will allow us to continue bringing you progressive and hard-hitting news from Latin America, the Global South, and the world.

Help us reach our goal of $650 in monthly Patreon donations. We are counting on you as our only source of financial support!
