Overview

  • Access to X returned inside Venezuela on Tuesday night after more than a year of nationwide restrictions imposed in August 2024 by Nicolás Maduro.
  • Senior figures including Delcy Rodríguez and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello announced their return to the platform, presenting it as a renewed channel for government communication.
  • Connectivity varied by carrier, with AFP reporting full access for Digitel customers and only partial service on Movistar and state-owned Cantv during the initial hours.
  • Official accounts posted fresh messages, including a reactivated profile for Maduro that shared a photo and referenced his detention, according to the outlets.
  • The 2024 suspension followed Maduro’s disputed re-election and accusations that X violated Venezuelan laws, a ban later extended indefinitely by the communications ministry.
