Venezuela repudiates and denounces infamous statements by the government of Peru against Venezuelan migrants.
The information was published on the Twitter account of the Ministry of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs @ Foreign Ministry through a statement in which Venezuela requires the authorities of that country to fulfill its international obligations and cease the already frequent promotion of hatred against the Venezuelan gentilicio , "The responsibility of a State to fight crime cannot be an excuse to criminalize foreign citizens."
Following is the full text of the document:
The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela categorically repudiates and denounces to the world and international organizations for the defense of Human Rights, the infamous statements made yesterday by the Government of the Republic of Peru, through its Minister of Interior, Carlos Morán, against the Venezuelan migrant population residing in that country.
In a pre and postproduced audiovisual presentation , the Peruvian Minister announces in a threatening way the creation of an “elite” police group to persecute the Venezuelan migrant population, accusing it in generic terms, of being responsible for the criminal boom in Peru. This fact constitutes a very serious violation of human rights and a denigrating and dangerous act that contravenes international norms regarding respect and protection of migrant populations. Through this unusual waste of xenophobia, acts of discrimination and aggression against Venezuelan citizens in that country are promoted.
Throughout the years, Venezuela has received hundreds of thousands of Peruvian migrants who have been welcomed with affection and solidarity, guaranteeing the protection of their human and social rights. Venezuela requires the Government of Peru to fulfill its international obligations and cease the already frequent promotion of the hatred of its authorities against the Venezuelan gentilicio. The responsibility of a State to fight crime cannot be an excuse to criminalize foreign citizens.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela will raise this serious complaint, accompanied by other acts of discrimination against its migrant population, before the corresponding international organizations, considering that the elements of conviction that make up the commission of crimes against humanity against citizens and citizens are evident Venezuelans abroad.
If Peru is right about the amount of crime from the Venezuelans, then I side with them. All these fancy treaties and Declarations of various rights, they are just an excuse to make it almost impossible to defend ourselves against migrant criminals.
I see the exact same thing happening in South Africa, from the migrants coming from other African countries. As in Sweden, the Nigerian criminals are quickly taking over.
A criminal is a criminal, but if they are also being provided sanctuary as refugees, they have even less rights to having their 'rights' respected, when they do not respect the rights of their hosts and benefactors and pay them back by attempting to destroy their society.
