First modification:
The presence of Nicolás Maduro at the CELAC summit in Buenos Aires generates the rejection of Venezuelans who fled Venezuela and the Argentine opposition coalition, which is asking before the courts that he be arrested for crimes against humanity.
The VII CELAC summit opens on Monday in Buenos Aires. Thirty-three Latin American and Caribbean heads of state are invited to this event that marks the return to the regional stage of Brazilian President Inácio Lula da Silva. However, in Argentina, media attention is also focused on the announced presence of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
This prospect sparked outrage in the opposition and within the Venezuelan community in Argentina, which numbers some 270,000 people. Some of them mobilized in Buenos Aires yesterday to repudiate this visit.
In front of the hotel where the heads of state will meet on Tuesday, hundreds of Venezuelans protested yesterday against the participation of Nicolas Maduro in the CELAC summit.
“I repudiate his presence because I left my country fleeing that dictatorship, and seeing that a country like Argentina opens its doors to him makes me powerless, angry, annoys me,” Denis Martínez, a Venezuelan who arrived in Argentina six years ago, told RFI. years ago.
In the crowd, the Venezuelan flags are mixed with those of Argentina. Local opposition figures are also present. Some deputies from the Together for Change coalition presented a draft resolution in Congress to declare Nicolas Maduro persona non grata in the country.
The president of the PRO party, Patricia Bullrich, asks for her part that Nicolás Maduro be arrested for crimes against humanity.
“There are a significant number of cases, the best known being the case of Pinochet, arrested in 1998 in London. And so it is that we have made formal requests for an arrest and an investigation against Nicolas Maduro, ”he said.
A new mobilization of the Venezuelan diaspora is already planned in the same place for Tuesday, when the heads of state will meet.
Last week, the Argentine Forum for Democracy in the Region (Fader), founded in 2020 by opposition legislators, criminally denounced Maduro, and also the heads of state of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Cannel, and Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, before the Argentine federal court.
The complainants base their complaint on reports from international human rights organizations that indicate “political persecution of civil organizations and individuals” by the leaders.
