In an interview with Sputnik Mundo, Jordan Rodriguez, vice president of the state-owned broadcaster Venezolana de Television (VTV), explained why the Venezuelan cable broadcaster suspended the broadcast of the CNN en Espanol news channel in the country.

Recently, Venezuela’s National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL) said it has suspended the operation of the channel across Venezuela.
The suspension of CNN en Espanol, which allegedly generates “a climate of intolerance” and threatens “the peace and democratic stability” of the people of Venezuela is effective immediately starting on Wednesday across the country,” the commission said in a statement Wednesday.

The Venezuelan government reportedly launched an investigation into the work of the CNN en Espanol channel in August 2015, accusing it of distributing false reports on violence in the country.

The regulator made the decision due to “multiple attacks on political stability, the social situation and health of Venezuelan youth,” the commission’s head Andres Eloy Mendez said.
