Reuters: Venezuelan leaders say migration flows are 'normal'
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela’s government said on Monday migratory patterns out of the OPEC nation are “normal” and that the situation was being exaggerated to justify an intervention by foreign powers.
The United Nation’s migration agency said last month the exodus of citizens out of Venezuela, which is suffering a hyperflationary economic collapse, is nearing a “crisis moment” comparable to the situation of refugees in the Mediterranean.
“There has been an intent to convert a normal migratory flow into a humanitarian crisis in order to justify an international intervention in Venezuela,” Vice President Delcy Rodriguez told a news conference. “We will not allow it.”

ReplyDeleteI wonder if they actually believe their own messaging (propaganda)? I suspect they do. We may all be vulnerable to this type of thing on some level.
ReplyDeleteWhich foreign power would want to intervene? The United States is stretched to the max in a number of areas and does not even have the resources to intervene even if it wanted to which it does not. The "foreign devil" seems to work wonders for those trying to gain or maintain power. As such, it comes as no surprise that the Maduro government would utilize this approach.
