Thank you for bringing this subject to the attention of the steemit community @malos10. I am in Merida and I'm also affected by the blackouts. Even when there is power, there is no Internet service. I haven't been able to publish in 3 days, only to leave a couple of comments here and there. We are also dealing with a poor running water service, a nonexistent cooking gas distribution service and lack of waste collection service. Everything has collapsed. The cable company does not respond either. I tell my sister that our only option is too look at the ceiling for entertainment. I wanted to add that in 2008 there were also "planned electricity rationing" and I remember it quite well, because I was teaching at a university and it was a total nightmare. The story repeats itself.
