Venezuela reaches agreement with US to resume repatriation flights of migrants

Venezuela has reached an agreement to resume repatriation flights for migrants from the United States, with the first flights scheduled to begin on Sunday, March 23. The move aims to provide a structured return process for Venezuelans wishing to come back to their home country.

Venezuela has announced a new agreement to resume repatriation flights for migrants from the United States, with flights set to begin on Sunday, March 23. The announcement was made by Jorge Rodriguez, Venezuela's President of Parliament, in a statement issued on Saturday.

Rodriguez emphasized the importance of migration, stating, "Migrating isn't a crime," and reaffirmed the government's commitment to ensuring that Venezuelans who wish to return to their home country can do so. The statement also mentioned efforts to rescue Venezuelan nationals reportedly being held in El Salvador.

This move comes as part of Venezuela’s ongoing efforts to facilitate the return of its citizens amid the complex migration situation that has seen millions of Venezuelans leave the country due to ongoing economic and political challenges. The repatriation flights are seen as an essential step in providing a safer and more structured return process for those wishing to come back.

While the government continues to address the challenges posed by the migration crisis, this repatriation agreement signals a renewed focus on bringing home Venezuelans who have been living abroad.
