The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, rejected on Saturday the criminalization of Venezuelan migrants and asked his counterpart from El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, to free migrants held in prisons in their country.
As stated in his account of the social network X the president, no Latin American Democrat can accept as the principle of a republic that, due to the crimes of the extinct train of Aragua, the entire Venezuelan people outside their nation are criminalized.
He said that such behavior is the repetition of the fascist actions against whom the American soldiers fought to death.
The pronouncement of the Head of State occurred regarding the decision of the United States Supreme Court to stop the expulsions of Venezuelans detained in northern Texas to new order, given the resources filed by an organization that denounces that Donald Trump’s government seeks to send more migrants to El Salvador. In his message, the South American ruler openly repudiated the position assumed by the Salvadoran president.
“No Mr. Bukele, very bad. We do not accept, and American justice does not accept, that the children of Venezuela, the mother land of Bolívar, be criminalized,” he wrote.
Before concluding his comment he made a demand to his pair of the Central American nation.
“In entering Colombians in their prisons. They leave the Venezuelan people free, because that people do know how to shout freedom. Migrants are not criminals, this is a reason for humanity,” he demanded.
