Bukele’s Regime Humiliates Venezuelan Migrants: President Maduro

During a public address in La Dolorita, Petare, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro strongly criticized El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, referring to him as a “Nazi-fascist” in response to the Salvadoran government’s refusal to allow legal access to detained Venezuelan migrants. President Maduro described the situation as an act of kidnapping supported by the United States.

President Maduro spoke during an event focused on promoting community power and denounced the lack of transparency regarding the detained migrants. “It has been twelve days since they were taken, and El Salvador has not provided a list of the people being held in their prisons,” he stated, questioning the Salvadoran government’s commitment to democracy and justice.

The Venezuelan leader mentioned that lawyers representing the migrants’ families had filed a Habeas Corpus petition, seeking both the immediate release of the detainees and the protection of their legal rights. President Maduro also directed sharp criticism at U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, accusing him of being involved in what he called a criminal act against Venezuelan migrants.

Additionally, President Maduro rejected recent statements by Rubio, who had issued threats against Venezuela from Guyana. “No one threatens our people. This is the homeland of Bolívar’s liberators,” Maduro declared, reinforcing Venezuela’s stance against what he views as external aggression.

Maduro’s remarks highlight the ongoing political tensions in the region and the complex dynamics between Venezuela, El Salvador, and the United States. The situation involving Venezuelan migrants has become a focal point in these disputes, intersecting issues of human rights, national sovereignty, and international relations.
