Mérida, 1st November 2013 (Venezuelanalysis.com) (http://venezuelanalysis.com/news/10139)
Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro has denounced a “massive” Twitter attack against the Venezuelan government after thousands of accounts belonging to ministers and pro-government media and supporters were simultaneously suspended yesterday.
The list of accounts closed includes those of three government ministers, five ministries and official entities, a socialist party state governor and a variety of pro-government journalists, organisations and supporters.
The accounts of state media outlet the Radio of the South and pro-government newspaper Ciudad CCS have also been suspended. They had 107,000 and 153,000 followers respectively.
Maduro’s account remains open, however it lost around 6500 followers within a period of a few minutes yesterday evening, apparently coinciding with the closure of the twitter accounts of prominent government supporters.
