Salvadoran president, Nayib Bukele, whipped on Tuesday (22.04.2025) to his Venezuelan counterpart, Nicolás Maduro, for rejecting his proposal to exchange deported migrants from the United States and imprisoned in El Salvador for “political prisoners.”
Bukele made the proposal on Sunday, but on Monday Maduro rejected her by accusing him of being “systematic violation” of human rights and demanded the immediate release of his compatriots prisoners. Relatives of deported Venezuelan migrants also rejected the proposal.
“Wasn’t it you who said he would do ‘everything that was necessary’ to achieve the liberation of Venezuelans detained in El Salvador? Do you mean that I was lying?” Bukele wrote in his account on the social network X.
In his message addressed to Maduro, Bukele also criticized an encounter of the Venezuelan president with relatives of the detainees at the Miraflores Palace. “Was it a simple media show,” he questioned.
-Despite the rejection of Maduro, the Salvadoran president said he had sent the formal proposal to the Foreign Ministry of Venezuela.
Bukele proposed a list that would include Venezuelan opponents prisoners Rafael Tudares, son -in -law of Edmundo González; the journalist Roland Carreño; the lawyer and activist Rocío San Miguel; Corina Parisca de Machado, mother of María Corina Machado, and about 50 citizens detained from other nationalities.
Also on Sunday he assured that all Venezuelans imprisoned in El Salvador “were arrested within the framework of an operation against gangs such as the Aragua train in the United States.”
