Venezuelan authority refutes opposition campaign on deportees

Caracas, 13 (Prensa Latina) The vice president of Politics, Citizen Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, refuted the opposition campaign on migrants who arrived in Venezuela last Monday in the Plan Vuelta a la Patria (lit. "Return to the Homeland").

The Venezuelan politician denied that the majority of the compatriots who arrived on two flights on February 10 belong to the criminal group Tren de Aragua. “There is not a single one of those who came with a history of being linked to the Tren de Aragua,” he stressed, and expressed that the deportees were received with love, but “the opposition invents and shows its hatred.”

The politician also stated that only 17 of the 190 migrants who returned have any pending accounts with the justice system, and most of them correspond to the years 2010, 2015 and 2018.

Cabello commented on the vicissitudes of some of the Venezuelan migrants and pointed out that the American justice system had a group of them held for more than a year and a half locked in a room without windows. He said that upon arriving in their homeland, the young people, aged between 20 and 30, were received as children “so that they come to work, reunite and recover their families.”

The political leader pointed out that once on Venezuelan soil, the deportees were attended to by a multidisciplinary team in a comprehensive manner from the health point of view with psychological and disease evaluations.

Last Monday, President Nicolás Maduro explained that the arrival of the deportees was possible as a result of the Bolivarian Diplomacy of Peace, and reiterated the will of his Government to “build relations of permanent communication, respect and understanding with the United States.”

Maduro stressed that the Plan Vuelta a la Patria will return all migrants who need support, “our compatriots who are eager to return to their family nucleus know this,” he said. “Everything else is false, a lie, they created the conditions for migration, and then they wanted to make the false offer of their return,” he said in reference to the extreme right-wing opposition.
