ONG denounced that Venezuela prevents 130 children from reuniting with their parents

The Venezuelan Union ONG in Peru, under the campaign "A light of hope", explained in a statement that all the children had their respective parental permits to make the trip, but did not detail the reasons stated by the Venezuelan authorities to prevent it.

The Venezuelan Union ONG in Peru denounced that the Venezuelan authorities have "arbitrarily and without legal justification" prevented the trip of 130 children to meet in Peru with their parents, who left Venezuela because of the economic crisis without being able to afford the trip of their children.

The organization, promoter of these family reunions under the campaign "A light of hope", explained in a statement that all children had their respective parental permits to make the trip, but did not detail the reasons stated by the Venezuelan authorities to prevent it, reviewed Efe.

He also warned, in a statement, that the wife and daughters of its president, the former Venezuelan Óscar Pérez Torrez, were arrested at the Maiquetía airport by order of the first state prosecutor of Vargas, David Gauna.

It was planned that the children will take flight 2100 from the airline Avior, which covers the route between Caracas and Lima, where their parents were waiting, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Health to verify their status.

To finance the project, the ONG raised funds through a microfinance campaign on the GoFundMe platform, as well as donations, direct contributions and the organization of special events.

Meanwhile, in Venezuela, the president of the subcommission of Children and Adolescents of the National Assembly, Karín Salanova, assured that what happened last Friday night at the Maiquetía airport, where at least 120 children would travel to Peru to reencounter with their families, "shows once again the violation to which the infants are being exposed, whose constitutional rights have been trampled on, since not only did they violently take away the right to identity when they were annulled their passports, but they have been prevented from the right to be with their family.
