Under strict compliance with the biosecurity protocols due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on Tuesday night a total of 120 nationals arrived in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, who were stranded in the Republic of Argentina through the Estelar airline, as part of the deployment carried out by the Plan Vuelta a la Patria promoted by the national government in order to facilitate the voluntary return of Venezuelans who do not have their own means to return to the nation.
Despite the economic blockade imposed by the United States and its satellites against Venezuela, the South American nation has received in recent months, in the midst of the health crisis, more than 200,000 Venezuelans who have been vulnerable to neglect and mismanagement in the face of the pandemic by the governments of the countries to which they migrated.
The Plan Vuelta a la Patria, created in 2018 by the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, establishes an air and land bridge for the voluntary return of all those migrants and their families and incorporates all returnees to the Venezuela’s social programs, the most extensive on the continent.
Last Saturday, an aircraft of the Venezuelan Consortium of Aeronautical Industries and Air Services S.A. (Conviasa), flew to Italy to bring back 185 compatriots who were in the European nation, representing a great effort on the part of the Bolivarian Government and the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry, which under joint coordination responded to the request of hundreds of compatriots who remained stranded by health contingency measures in the world.
