79 Venezuelans Returned from Brazil and more than 270 Stuck in Ecuador
As part of the Plan Vuelta a la Patria on Friday, a total of 79 Venezuelans from the north of Brazil returned to the South American nation. The Twitter account of the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry explained that this repatriation is due to the “xenophobia, mistreatment and the scant possibility of work that they found when they arrived to those countries.”

Ante la cantidad de compatriotas que se han acercado a nuestras misiones en Ecuador, además de los 3 vuelos del Plan Vuelta a la Patria de hoy, se harán 3 vuelos adicionales este sábado. Much@s herman@s quieren regresar tras la campaña xenófoba incitada por el gobierno de @Lenin

But recent reports indicate that the government of Lenin Moreno in Ecuador in an unprecedented move have decline flying permits to Venezuelan planes. That according the the deputy minister for international communications in the Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Ministry, William Castillo.
Venezuela sigue presionando a través de los canales diplomáticos para que el Gobierno de Ecuador autorice sobrevuelos para 270 vzlanos atrapados allá que quieren regresar. No vamos a dejar solos a nuestros migrantes. La movilidad es un DDHH
