The Foreign Minister accused Repsol of joining the criminal economic blockade that the United States maintains against the Venezuelan people and urged the government of Peru to be consistent with its humanitarian discourse and to resolve the situation so that the two Conviasa planes can take off. There are a total of 180 Venezuelans who wish to return to their homeland, among them, 54 boys and girls, 35 adults and older adults, 7 pregnant women and 8 people with reserved diagnoses, which constitutes a clear violation of the human rights of these compatriots. Last April, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela denounced the refusal of the Argentine government to grant the necessary permits for the flight of the Plan Vuelta a la Patria from Argentina; At that time 90 connationals had to be transferred to Uruguay to return to their country. Now, exactly one month later another impediment reappears. “We denounced Repsol for joining Trump’s criminal blockade against the Venezuelan people. I hope the government of Peru is consistent with its famous humanitarian discourse and resolves this situation so that we can return the 180 stranded compatriots”, said Foreign Minister Arreaza.Hace unas semanas fue Argentina, ahora denunciamos que Perú obstaculiza los vuelos humanitarios del #PlanVueltaALaPatria. La empresa @Repsol se niega a suministrar el combustible que fue pagado por adelantado de los aviones de @LAConviasa. Tuvimos que suspender los vuelos de hoy pic.twitter.com/lYeTMgxkct

Denunciamos a @Repsol por sumarse al bloqueo criminal de Trump contra el pueblo venezolano. Ojalá el gobierno de Perú sea consecuente con su famoso discurso humanitario y resuelva esta situación para que podamos regresar a los 180 compatriotas varados: #TrumpDesbloqueaVenezuela pic.twitter.com/FpxnhMrWXu
