The National Government announced new migration restrictions for Venezuelan citizens linked to the Chavista regime. This measure is being implemented in the context of the events that occurred in Venezuela after the capture of Nicolás Maduro by the United States.
The provision was communicated by the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, through a message released on the social network X. There he specified that the restrictions were adopted "by virtue of the capture of the dictator Nicolás Maduro" and apply to people directly related to the regime.
According to Adorni's explanation, the decision was implemented by the National Directorate of Migration, in joint work with other agencies of the National State. This prohibits the entry into the country of officials, members of the Armed Forces, businesspeople linked to Chavismo, and people sanctioned by the United States, among others.
"Thanks to this measure, Maduro's accomplices who try to seek refuge abroad won't be able to enter our country", stated the Chief of Staff. This makes it clear that Argentina won't be a safe haven for those who were part of the Venezuelan authoritarian apparatus.
Tightening of migration control
Minutes after the announcement, the Ministry of Security publicly backed the decision and released the same official statement. From the ministry, officials emphasized that "Argentina won't be a refuge for collaborators of the regime of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro", in line with the stance adopted by Casa Rosada.
The measure is framed in a regional context marked by the operation carried out by the United States. These actions included attacks on military targets in Caracas and the capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
