Despite a national directive from Executive officials, illegal tolls continue to operate on roadways leading to Falcón. Drivers, particularly those in tourist transport, are reportedly paying fees in Bolivars, foreign currency, or through bank transfers to avoid delays at checkpoints. These payments directly contravene an order issued by Delcy Rodríguez intended to eliminate such illicit practices. The roadblocks are seemingly disregarded by those manning the checkpoints. This indicates a lack of enforcement of the government's stated policy. The situation highlights ongoing challenges with corruption and the imposition of unofficial fees on Venezuelan roads. The issue was reported by EL NACIONAL.
