Venezuela restores access to news websites with US support
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Members of the National Assembly elected in 2015 thanked US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the United States government for supporting Venezuela’s transition after the country began restoring access to previously blocked news websites.
The action followed a statement from Juan Pablo Segura, the Department of State’s Chargé d’Affaires for Latin America, who connected the unlocking of websites to the progress of the three-phase plan initiated by the administration of Donald Trump for Venezuela.
The National Assembly delegation acknowledged Washington’s support but called for the complete removal of all remaining restrictions on news outlets. While the National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) announced it had instructed internet providers to enable access to several national and international media domains, the restoration is currently incomplete. VE Sin Filtro, an organization monitoring online access, confirmed that 79 news domains remained blocked despite the initial changes.
The National College of Journalists initially reported 8 portals were unlocked, with 54 experiencing limited access, and the National Union of Press Workers requested that Conatel release a complete list of restored sites to verify full access across all providers.
