The, which houses the largest diaspora in Latin America, received again, on Monday (10), immigrants in the United States. The government of Nicolás Maduro announced that two flights from the state company Conviasa were used to transport the first deported, in an agreement established with the administration of Donald Trump. Although Caracas has not revealed the exact number of deported, he mentioned that some of them have ties with the US Tren’s Tren, a group considered a terrorist in the US. Until then, Venezuela did not accept the deportation of its citizens, but the Maduro regime requested permission from the Trump government to make it happen.
The lack of a formal agreement complicated the situation for both the United States and other countries dealing with the issue of Venezuelan migration. The new agreement represents a significant change in this scenario. In a statement, the Venezuelan government stated that the country is one of the safest in the region and has attributed mass migration to economic sanctions and psychological war campaigns promoted by foreign powers. The pact was signed during the visit of Richard Grenell, sent from Trump, Caracas, where the release of six American citizens was also negotiated.
Venezuelan immigrants have been severely affected by the mass deportation plan implemented by the White House, especially after the revocation of temporary protections that benefited more than 600,000 Venezuelans in the United States. The diaspora, which already has 7.7 million people, has struggled to participate in the last elections in Venezuela, due to restrictions imposed by the Maduro government.
The Venezuelan opposition appealed to immigrants, promising a return to a country with a revitalized economy and without political persecution. However, he expressed discontent with the political agreements between Trump and Maduro. In addition, there are discussions about possible sanctions on Venezuela’s economy, especially in the oil sector, with Chevron being a crucial actor in oil production in the country.
