The Venezuelan regime announced on Tuesday that 270 Venezuelans will return to the Caribbean country from Peru with the government plan “Plan Vuelta a la Patria”, which was launched in September 2018, to facilitate the return of migrants who were victims of xenophobia in receiving countries.
The Foreign Ministry explained in a statement released on its website that an Airbus 340-600 plane departed from the Venezuelan state company Conviasa to Peru for a “new day” of repatriation.
He also indicated that the crew consists of 13 people, accompanied by a “multidisciplinary team” from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The agency added that this is the third flight of the “Vuelta a la Patria Plan” heading to Peru this year.
On April 10, the Foreign Ministry affirmed that 28,521 Venezuelans from 21 countries have returned to the country with the government program.
“The number of Venezuelans benefiting from the Vuelta a la Patria Plan amounts to 28,521 passengers, from 21 countries, through 165 flights and one sea transfer,” he said on his Twitter account.
For its part, the Regional Platform for Interagency Coordination for Refugees and Migrants in Venezuela (R4V) estimates that 6,041,690 people have left the country due to the crisis of recent years.
This platform indicates that, of this total number of migrants, 4,992,215 live in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The dictator of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, promised on February 3 that from March the flights of the government plan would triple.
Maduro said that these Venezuelans left the country looking for a “better economic opportunity”, but there has been “a lot of discrimination, a lot of xenophobia that has been sown against Venezuela.”
