Brief
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez said the government will begin removing police checkpoints in the coming days. The announcement came two months after the June 24 earthquakes, according to the report. No further information was provided on which checkpoints are covered, how quickly the measure will be implemented, or whether alternative security controls will replace them. The measure’s practical scope therefore remains unclear.
Police checkpoints can add time, uncertainty and unofficial costs to domestic movement. Their removal could reduce logistics friction for businesses and cargo operators, but only if implementation is broad and durable. Unclear scope and replacement controls make the immediate investment impact difficult to price.

Watch for an official decree or implementation plan identifying the checkpoints to be dismantled, the roads and jurisdictions affected, the effective date and any replacement security procedures. Evidence of actual removals would show whether operating conditions are changing.
