“The signal from Directv could return to your home. We can affirm with certainty that there is no single institutional or international barrier for Venezuelans to enjoy their signal again,” said the president of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó.
“Access to information and freedom of expression are a fundamental right and a central element to fight against the dictatorship. That is why, since the dictatorship expelled Directv from Venezuela, we have promoted various alternatives for his return,” assured the Member of Parliament through his Twitter account after 69 days since DirecTV announced the closure of its operations in Venezuela.
On May 19, AT&T Inc. announced the total closure of DirecTV Latin America’s operations in Venezuela, with immediate effect. “The sanctions of the US Government to Venezuela have prohibited the transmission of the Globovisión and Pdvsa channels, which are required under the DirecTV license to provide pay TV service in Venezuela,” the statement said.
At that time, the company assured that “because it is impossible for AT&T DirecTV unit to comply with the legal requirements of both countries, AT&T was forced to close its pay television operations in Venezuela, a decision made by the team of leadership of the company in the United States without any participation or prior knowledge of the DirectTV team in Venezuela. “
