Venezuela restores access to X after being blocked for more than year

(MENAFN) The US social media platform X became accessible in Venezuela again on Tuesday, more than a year after it was blocked by former President Nicolas Maduro, who was captured by US forces on January 3.

Interim President Delcy Rodriguez, who had previously served as Maduro’s vice president, posted on her X account: “We resume contact through this channel. Venezuela remains standing, with strength and historical awareness. Let us stay united, moving towards economic stability, social justice and the welfare state we deserve to aspire to.”

Following the July 2024 election, Maduro was declared the winner amid allegations of electoral fraud, and his administration suspended access to X in August of that year.

Prior to the ban, X had been a central platform for Venezuelans, but the suspension forced government ministers, lawmakers, and agencies to stop posting updates.

Rodriguez assumed leadership after Maduro and his wife were captured by US military forces on January 3, during an operation that reportedly left more than 100 people dead.
