A group of Argentines and Venezuelans protested on the afternoon of January 22 in rejection of a possible visit by President Nicolás Maduro to Argentina, after being invited to the summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC).
“Genocidal Maduro, get out of Argentina!” is one of the chants of the people who gathered in the El Retiro neighborhood, in front of the Sheraton Hotel in Buenos Aires, where the CELAC meetings will take place. Citizens also repudiate the possible presence of Miguel Díaz – Canel, president of Cuba, in that country.

The president of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich; his peer from the Civic Coalition, Maximiliano Ferraro; the Buenos Aires official Waldo Wolff and other opposition legislators, such as the radicals Karina Banfi and Ricardo López Murphy, participated in the act, which is planned to be repeated on Tuesday in the same place.
Bullrich, who has said that he would ask the DEA to apprehend Maduro, said at the demonstration that he was convinced that the Argentine justice system would act against the ruler after being denounced for crimes against humanity. “We have made specific requests, formal requests.”

In addition, he stressed that the actions that Argentine justice can take can contribute to the process within the International Criminal Court (ICC), where the alleged commission of crimes against humanity in Venezuela is currently being investigated, at least since 2017.

Among those calling for the demonstration were Elisa Trotta Gamus, former ambassador of the interim government in Argentina, and Venezuelan deputy Richard Blanco, who went into exile in Argentina in 2019.
Blanco recalled the students killed in protests since 2014, while assuring that Maduro’s presence in that country seeks to resume his influence in the region to “destabilize the democracies” of the continent.
