The Guatemalan Ministry of Communications has shared updates on recent activities through its official X (formerly Twitter) account, highlighting efforts to promote public safety and infrastructure development. The posts, published between November 12 and 13, cover topics ranging from consumer protection in mobile phone sales to road safety and ongoing infrastructure projects.
On November 12, the ministry posted: " ¿Sabías que comprar un teléfono registrado te protege de fraudes y robos?
La @SITgt realizó una jornada de supervisión en Jalapa para garantizar que los comercios cumplan con la ley y mantengan un mercado móvil seguro y transparente.

It also mentions that the Superintendencia de Telecomunicaciones (SIT), Guatemala's telecommunications regulatory body, conducted a supervisory operation in Jalapa to ensure businesses are complying with legal requirements for mobile phone sales.
Later the same day, another post reported on road safety statistics: "Durante la semana del 4 al 11 de noviembre, se registraron 62 hechos de tránsito en diferentes rutas del país, haz clic y conoce las acciones que realiza @ProvialOficial de asistencia y prevención de accidentes

The tweet encourages readers to learn more about preventive and assistance measures carried out by Provial Oficial, the government agency responsible for highway patrols and accident prevention.
On November 13, attention shifted to infrastructure matters. The ministry wrote: "La viceministra de Infraestructura, Norma Zea, sostuvo una reunión con los alcaldes Juan Chivalán Tiu (Santa Lucía La Reforma, Totonicapán) y Juan Yat Morales (San Antonio Ilotenango) para dar seguimiento al tramo que conecta San Antonio Ilotenango con Santa Lucía La Reforma. https://t.co/IgNGoTbxOb". This message details a meeting between Vice Minister of Infrastructure Norma Zea and local mayors Juan Chivalán Tiu and Juan Yat Morales regarding oversight of a road segment linking San Antonio Ilotenango with Santa Lucía La Reforma.
Guatemala’s Ministry of Communications is responsible for overseeing national communications policy as well as managing public infrastructure projects such as roads and bridges. Its actions—such as promoting legal compliance among mobile phone vendors through SIT operations or coordinating with municipal leaders on transport links—are part of broader government efforts to enhance citizen safety and support regional development.
