Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced on Thursday that he has signed a resolution to block access to the social media platform X in the country for 10 days.

The state agency in charge of telecommunications will "remove the social network X, formerly known as Twitter, from circulation in Venezuela for 10 days," Maduro stated, following his previous accusations that the platform's owner, Elon Musk, orchestrated an "attack" against his reelection.
