Caracas, February 16 (RHC)-- The President of the National Assembly of Venezuela has revealed that opponents such as Léster Toledo, Carlos Vecchio, Leopoldo López, Carlos Paparoni, Juan Guaidó and David Smolansky, among others, are part of a network of coyotes who use their influence in the U.S. government and their links with Colombian traffickers to enrich themselves with the business of illegal migration.
In an interview with La Iguana TV, the president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, Jorge Rodríguez, denounced the links of Venezuelan far-right opponents with the business of human trafficking with Venezuelan migrants who have been forced to emigrate due to the situation caused by the US sanctions against the Venezuelan economy.
"The first thing they did was generate this situation of Venezuelan migration," from the acute crisis that they collaborated to create after attacking the national social and economic fabric, said Rodríguez, and recalled that Venezuela's oil revenues decreased by 99 percent in 2020.
Simultaneously, they launched denigrating opinion matrices towards life in the country, which they did not help to get out of the crisis, and created law firms in the United States from which they quickly arranged the papers of the migrants.
He added that thanks to their relations with Colombian drug trafficking, they had troops to direct the flow of Venezuelan migrants through countries in the region towards North American territory.
Rodríguez stated that all these details were clarified to the special envoy of the U.S. government who recently visited the country, Richard Grenell, to whom it was made clear that Venezuelan migration will end when all sanctions against Venezuela are lifted.
Regarding the migratory flow, Rodríguez stated that at this time there are more Venezuelans returning to the country than those leaving, so the situation is reversing.
Jorge Rodriguez mentioned a caravan of Venezuelans who were heading to the US and were already in Central America and turned around to return to their country, but the Government of Panama does not want to receive them so that they can continue their journey back.
He stated that these opponents of the fascist right have enriched themselves illegally and inhumanely with offices that facilitate trafficking. He stated that they have been without any employment relationship in Venezuelan territory for years. Even in his last known job, Guaidó was fired for theft, he recalled.
Regarding citizens returning to the country, he reiterated that they are ready to receive all Venezuelans, who through the Return to the Homeland program receive support in their reintegration into life.
The Venezuelan president of the National Assembly clarified that Venezuela proposed to search for repatriated citizens with its own planes following the thefts of Conviasa planes committed in Argentina and the Dominican Republic, so it is a security measure that also seeks to guarantee the respectful and dignified treatment that Venezuelans deserve upon their return to the country.
