Caracas, March 24 (RHC)-- According to the People's Congress statement, the kidnapping of 238 Venezuelans by the United States government and their illegal imprisonment in El Salvador is not only an abuse of human rights, but also reflects the advancement of policies that criminalize migration and justify the inhumane treatment of working-class migrants in the United States and Europe.
The excuse used to justify these actions, without prior trial, is the alleged connection to the "Aragua Train," which serves to strengthen the political and economic agreements between the governments of El Salvador and the United States, as part of a far-right bloc in the region. Meanwhile, the document emphasizes the history of crimes committed by Nayib Bukele's government against its own people, which has turned El Salvador into a laboratory of violence and police and prison repression.
The text points out that detention centers, such as Guantánamo Bay and now prisons in El Salvador, are being used as international torture centers to criminalize and prosecute protest and poverty. This is part of a broader capitalist agenda that seeks to criminalize the migrant population of the global south, treating them as enemies in war. This leads to collective punishment, denying poor migrants their basic rights and exposing them to arbitrary expulsions, property expropriation, and forced family separation.
The People's Congress denounces that Venezuelan migration was caused in part by the coup attempt against the government and the Bolivarian and Chavista processes. Similarly, migration from poor countries is rooted in the serious consequences of the capitalist system and its neoliberal policies.
The majority of migrants have had to offer themselves as cheap labor in countries of the global north, trying to overcome the hardships imposed on them by the capitalist system. Along with our condemnation, the political movement calls on social and grassroots organizations to speak out against this fascist policy expressed throughout the imperial bloc.
"We cannot limit ourselves to demanding 'dignity' in the face of criminal deportations while corporations and armies continue to exploit the people and Mother Earth of our nations with impunity," the statement added.
