The sectoral vice-president of Politics, Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello Rondón received on Friday night the two flights from El Salvador that took the 252 Venezuelans who were kidnapped in that Central American country to their homeland, so he assured that “today is a day to celebrate, a Friday of joy for Venezuela.”

“They are two planes, the first with 126 companions. We are going to receive them as we have received all the Venezuelan comrades who have returned to the country, but in this case in a special way because they come from a kidnapping, from a concentration camp, from an infamous site that were kidnapped by the Government of El Salvador,” he said.

Cabello added that thanks to the Bolivarian Government and the experience, “we have been slowly spinning a negotiation without intermediaries between the Government of the United States (USA) and the Government of Venezuela, directly and we have reached this agreement, an extraordinary agreement for us because it brings to Venezuela some colleagues who were kidnapped.”

In this regard, the sectoral vice-president for Politics, Security and Peace, added that although it is true that Venezuela paid a high price but in the midst of the negotiations, “we believe that the price being paid for this group of Venezuelans is well worth it because he is a Venezuelan who was being subjected to torture, harassment, humiliation by a Government and a territory where he had not committed a single crime.”

He added that “these people who arrive in Venezuela on a direct flight from El Salvador will be received as brothers and with the same protocol that we have been acting since day one. Because it comes from a place where we don't know what they could have done to them.” He added that “it is a perverse government that has El Salvador in charge, of the lowest rank and that has become a reference for everything bad. These Venezuelans who are being received today have never committed any crime in El Salvador and if anyone has one in Venezuela, justice here works without pressure and without inconvenience.”
