In a recent statement during the commemoration of the 36th anniversary of the Anti-Imperialist Popular Rebellion of February 27, 1989 (known as the “Caracazo”), the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, condemned the remarks of opposition leader María Corina Machado, who labeled Venezuelan migrants as “criminals” and associated them with the defunct Tren de Aragua criminal group.

President Maduro expressed his repudiation of these statements, calling Machado a “criminal fascist” who promotes sanctions against the Venezuelan people.
