X becomes accessible in Venezuela after over one year

(MENAFN) Venezuelans can once again access the social media platform X, more than a year after it was blocked under the previous administration. The platform had been a key tool for communication and information sharing before its suspension.

Interim President Delcy Rodríguez, who previously served as vice president and assumed leadership following the removal of the former president, posted on X to announce its return, stating: “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.”

The platform had been blocked in August 2024 following controversial elections, during which the former president was declared the winner amid allegations of fraud. The ban disrupted official government communications and limited the ability of citizens to access timely updates online.

The reopening of X comes after Rodríguez assumed interim leadership following the capture of the former president and his wife earlier this month, an event that resulted in significant political changes. Access to the platform is expected to restore an important channel for both government announcements and public discourse.
