This Thursday, the president of the National Assembly, deputy Jorge Rodríguez, released a letter from the families of Venezuelans kidnapped in El Salvador by the government of the neofacist Nayib Bukele, in which they expressed their rejection of the illegal “exchange” proposal made by the president of the Central American nation.

With the message of “we want them alive and safe in their homeland Venezuela”, the head of parliament recalled that these compatriots are “kidnapped in a concentration camp in Nayib Bukele”, a situation that has been renounced by the Venezuelan Government.

In the document containing more than a hundred rubrics, the relatives demand that Bukele release and repatriate these Venezuelans “without any conditions”.

“We strongly reject the proposal made by you to use our loved ones as exchange tokens and we request their immediate release and repatriation, without any conditions,” they said in a letter published this Friday and signed by more than a hundred family members of the kidnapped Venezuelans.

They point out that the proposal made by Bukele “reveals serious human rights violations that have been and continue to be committed against our loved ones, as they remain in detention without engaging in any crime, without carrying out a previous procedure and without allowing them their legitimate right to defense.”
