Pro-Maduro narrative

This is a tragic and shocking incident for which heavy rains are the only ones to blame. Hours of torrential rains caused flooding and eventually the collapse of the mine's structure. In the face of this tragedy, authorities in Venezuela are working tirelessly to recover victims as soon as possible.
