Cantv blocks volunteer website for humanitarian aid in Venezuela
The state communications CANTV blocked on Monday the volunteer website for the entry of humanitarian aid managed by Juan Guaidó, parliamentary leader recognized as the president in charge of Venezuela by 50 countries, denounced the opposition.
Opposition leaders had already denounced last week that CANTV had redirected the website www.voluntariosxvenezuela.com, in which volunteers are registered for assistance, to the portal www.voluntariosvenezuela.com, a web design identical to the original , but a different database.
"This page was already false and, now, they simply preferred to block the web," Hasler Iglesias, activist of Voluntad Popular, a political party of Guaidó and opposition leader in house arrest Leopoldo López, told AFP.
The volunteer's website does not charge when using the service offered by CANTV, the AFP stated. Yes it works with other providers.
Since the launch of the initiative on February 12, some 600,000 people have registered according to Guaidó to help with the entry into Venezuela of shipments of food and medicine sent by the United States to Cúcuta, a border city in neighboring Colombia.
The government of Nicolás Maduro denies the possibility of accepting assistance, by denouncing it as a pretext for a US military intervention.
