On Monday, the first flight returning 199 Venezuelan migrants from the US landed in Maiquetía, following a recent diplomatic agreement to resume repatriation flights. This development occurred after a standoff where Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro had suspended flights due to tensions surrounding US sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports. Officials from both countries confirmed the agreement, with emphasis on accountability for Venezuelan migrants affected by deportations. Venezuelan Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez condemned the treatment of migrants and reiterated the commitment to secure their rights and welfare.
199 compatriots, 199 Venezuelan colleagues returning to their homeland, said Diosdado Cabello, highlighting the emotional significance of the first repatriation flight from the US.
We have agreed with the US government to resume the repatriation of Venezuelan migrants, stated Jorge Rodríguez, marking a significant diplomatic development.
Migrating is not a crime and we will not rest until we achieve the return of all those who require it, emphasized Rodríguez, stressing the pursuit of justice for migrants.
