The spokesperson Lázaro Manuel Alonso stated that Guerra is working at the Electric Union this Friday afternoon "in his usual responsibilities."

"Tomorrow, as he has done every day for over three years, he will explain the SEN forecast and what the electricity companies are doing to alleviate the issue that has been bothering us for a long time," he stated.

Lázaro Guerra experienced a health incident during a live broadcast last Wednesday, while presenting the blackout forecast for the day on Canal Caribe.

During the broadcast, the executive began to show signs of respiratory distress, as if he were struggling to breathe. Suddenly, he gestured and called someone off-camera, placed his hand on his chest, and left the set without providing any explanations.

In light of the situation, journalist Bernardo Espinosa temporarily took over the leadership of the energy report, striving to maintain the continuity of the program.

The broadcast remained on air without interruptions. A few minutes later, Lázaro Guerra returned on camera, seemingly recovered, and continued with the presentation of the day's energy report. Neither the executive nor the journalist clarified the reasons for the incident at that time, though the occurrence did not go unnoticed by the audience.
