The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, expressed from Paseo Los Próceres in Caracas his interest in facilitating the repatriation of Venezuelans unjustly detained abroad. During the commemoration of International Women's Day, Maduro emphasized the importance of open communications for this cause, stating his desire to unite citizens facing persecution abroad due to their status as migrants.
Maduro lamented the sanctions imposed by the U.S. on Venezuela, including the revocation of Chevron's license, a measure that has affected the repatriation plans for Venezuelan migrants. The president mentioned that three trips had already been made to bring compatriots back from Texas and Honduras, emphasizing that being a migrant should not be a reason for persecution and that the human rights of these individuals should be respected.
In a call to companies, Maduro indicated that Venezuela was willing to allow Chevron to continue its operations in the country for a longer time, but that decisions made by "imperialism" affected that possibility. He also urged companies to invest in the South American nation and not to yield to hatred, emphasizing the importance of respect and dignity for Venezuelan migrants abroad.
