The families of Argentines detained in Venezuela reacted with skepticism to the announcement of a general amnesty made by the president of that country, Delcy Rodríguez. Gathered this Saturday at the Venezuelan-Argentine center in Villa Crespo, the families of Nahuel Galloy and Germán Giuliani demanded that the promises be translated into effective and rapid releases. María Gómez, wife of the gendarme Gallo, and Virginia Rivero, partner of the lawyer Giuliani, stated that they will continue to put pressure. 'We demand that it be all of them, that they include the Argentines,' Virginia Rivero emphasized. María Gómez, expressing hope but also extreme caution, recalled the frustration after the January 8 announcement, which did not result in her husband's release. She relayed the words of Vanessa Giuliani, the lawyer's sister: 'They told us not to be scared when we see them because they are very thin, they were not fed.' The families made a direct call to Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno for the issue to be a priority on the diplomatic agenda and for the process not to be delayed. Concerns were also raised about the physical condition of the detainees. Vanessa Giuliani reported that her mother was again denied permission to bring personal hygiene items for her brother at the 'El Rodeo' prison.
