Venezuela’s Acting President, Delcy Rodriguez, ordered a new lifting of administrative restrictions on a group of web platforms and portals this Friday, citing progress made through several ongoing dialogue channels in the country.
In the communiqué released on Spetember 25 by the Ministry of Popular Power for Communication and Information, Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodriguez welcomed the contributions of the different dialogue spaces currently advancing in the country, specifically pointing to talks between the National Government’s delegation and former lawmakers from the 2015 National Assembly, as well as the Program for Peace and Democratic Coexistence.

The statement framed the decision to lift the administrative measures as a direct response to that joint effort, presenting it as a gesture aligned with the broader political dialogue process underway in Venezuela.
The move affects a group of unspecified digital platforms and web portals that had previously been subject to administrative restrictions, though the official statement did not name the specific sites.

Commitment To Diversity
According to the statement, the Venezuelan government’s decision reaffirms its commitment to freedom of thought and diversity of opinion, expressing the aspiration that communication within the country remain committed to the national interest and to Venezuelans’ right to accurate and timely information.
The announcement comes amid a broader context of political engagement in Venezuela, where the government has in recent months pointed to multiple dialogue initiatives as evidence of efforts to ease domestic political tensions. The reference to talks involving former 2015 National Assembly deputies signals continued engagement with opposition-aligned figures from that legislative period, while the Program for Peace and Democratic Coexistence has been cited by officials as a broader framework for facilitating dialogue across different political sectors within the country.
The decision was announced at the end of the second cycle of dialogue between representatives of the government and former deputies of the National Assembly in 2015 and it comes over a week after the National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL) began restoring access to various media and digital platforms that remained restricted.
