Venezuela Increases Diplomatic Efforts to Secure the Return of Its Migrants: President Maduro

This was made possible by the Return to the Homeland Plan, which has been promoted by President Nicolas Maduro since 2018 and has provided free assistance to nearly one million people.  This is the fifth plane to arrive in Venezuela with repatriated citizens in the past week.

Previously, on Wednesday, the Bolivarian leader confirmed that half a million migrant children have joined Venezuelan schools during the current academic year after returning to the country with their families.

Maduro accused the U.S. santions of having caused migration and asserted that the children were discriminated against “for being Venezuelan.” “We are recovering. Most of the migrants have returned and are here with their families,” the Venezuelan president said.

“We reached a direct agreement with Mexico to bring them here today,” said Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who hailed the Mexican gesture as a relief for the families and a show of solidarity.

“Here we welcome them with love and without threats,” he added, recalling that the Venezuelan migrants escaped “persecution” by the United States.

The Bolivarian official criticized the detention of Venezuelans in El Salvador, accusing President Nayib Bukele of violating human rights. “They did not face trials; they were kidnapped,” Cabello pointed out.
