A group of 249 Venezuelan migrants returned to their country from Peru with the Return to the Homeland Plana program launched by the Government of Nicolas Maduro in September 2018 to facilitate the return of people who chose to return to the Caribbean nation, the Foreign Ministry reported this Friday.

The group traveled on a plane of the Venezuelan state airline Conviasa, which took off from the Jorge Chávez International Airport, in Lima, and landed at the Maiquetía International Airport, which serves Caracas, the Foreign Ministry detailed in a press release.
The second-class consul general accredited in Lima, Jean Carlos Evans, told Venezuelans “the pride he feels for the fact that they trusted the government” to return “safe and sound to their country,” as quoted in the note.

According to the Executive, with the government plan, more than 30,000 Venezuelans have returned to the country in the last four years who had emigrated to other nations fleeing the economic and political crisis.
The Interagency Coordination Platform for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela (R4V) -a mechanism co-led by the UN Refugee Agency (Acnur) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM)- indicated, last September, that 7, 1 million Venezuelans left their country of origin in recent years.
That same month, President Maduro assured that “more than half” of the population that migrated between 2018 and 2021 has returned and that, at this time, they have better living conditions than those they achieved in the host nations.
