Nayib Bukele

Daniel Ortega Is No Bukele

Opposition media from both Nicaragua and El Salvador, along with the Washington Post, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch, all vilify Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega by equating him with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. Although Ortega and Bukele are both serving consecutive terms, and a Central American polling firm reports that they enjoy high popularity among their respective populations, the two presidents actually offer a study in contrasts. Bukele is praised for drastically reducing violence in El Salvador, but his political career is actually based on perpetuating it. First, some history.

US Abduction Of 2-Year-Old Venezuelan Girl Constitutes Human Trafficking

In a statement issued this Monday, April 28, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil condemned the separation of a 2-year-old Venezuelan child from her mother as an act of “extreme violence,” calling it “absolutely unacceptable and unthinkable in the 21st century.” The statement emphasized that this incident reflects a broader pattern of migrant rights violations, directly contravening international frameworks such as the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Child and the United Nations Charter. “This represents yet another egregious case of family separation, forcibly removing a child from their emotional and biological bonds,” it declared.

Venezuela Demands Immediate Repatriation Of Detained Migrants

Thousands of Venezuelans rallied in Caracas on Tuesday, March 18, to protest the deportation of Venezuelan migrants from the United States to a high security prison in El Salvador. Family members of the deported migrants addressed Venezuelan officials and fellow citizens to demand the immediate return of their loved ones, with many insisting that their relatives are not criminals or members of the infamous Tren de Aragua as Donald Trump claims. The mobilization occurred days after the deportation of over 200 migrants to El Salvador in one of the most controversial acts by the administration of Donald Trump during his two months in office.

Venezuela Vows ‘All Strategies’ To Repatriate Citizens

Venezuelan National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez declared Monday that the government will mobilize multilateral organizations and international law firms to repatriate citizens detained abroad. He accused the United States of “kidnapping” Venezuelan migrants and collaborating with El Salvador in a “modern slave trade.” The announcement came after reports that more than 200 Venezuelan migrants were transferred from U.S. custody to prisons in El Salvador based on unproven allegations of ties to the Aragua Train criminal gang.
