The president Dina Boluarte He offered a press conference in which he took stock of his government and stated that the citizen insecurity and the hitmen that plague our country are related to the migratory wave of Venezuelans who entered Peru. In addition, he assured that he will expel criminal foreigners from the national territory.
“To the foreign criminals who are in our country, we say to them, we will throw them out of the national territory. We are not going to allow them to stay another day in our territory. Around 78 criminal gangs have been deactivated and they have been captured. more than 1,800 criminals and among them those charged as well,” said the president.
“But here we want to call on the justice system. These criminals that we put at the disposal of the Public Ministry, do not release them. We have to close this path of impunity. Those criminals that the police capture cannot walk free,” he added.
At another point in his statements, Boluarte alluded to previous governments for having let Venezuelan migrants enter en masse and without greater border control.
“This issue of crime is not new. It is not that it was born with this government. We know well who has left our borders open and thousands of them have entered without even mentioning their names on our borders, and those subsequent governments have been in airplane mode without doing anything about crime,” he stated in direct reference to his predecessors.
Given this situation, the president assured that immigration policies will change with respect to Venezuelan citizens who intend to enter the country, through the implementation of new conditions, in addition to monitoring them.
“Now we are going to make a readjustment in migrations. We are going to require each Venezuelan, who supposedly works legally, to present their employment contract, rental contract, and we will monitor it in the financial system. We are going to monitor the foreign currency or remittances that are sent outside the country to know where that income is generated, and anyone who does not answer in a certain way where their income is from, we are going to lose them,” he stated.
Although she did not mention the country directly, the president recalled the exodus of Venezuelan citizens who left their country due to the dictatorial regime of Nicolás Maduro. “More than 9 million inhabitants have left a neighboring northern country (Venezuela), who are scattered around the world.”
