Government of Peru: Acts of Xenophobia are âUnfounded Accusationsâ
After Venezuela’s denunciation of xenophobic attacks against its citizens in several Latin American countries, the government of Peru, through its Foreign Ministry, not only denied that this occurs, but also assures that these are âunfoundedâ accusations.
âThe government of Peru strongly rejects unfounded accusations about acts of xenophobia allegedly executed or tolerated by the state,â says Official CommuniquĂ© #028-19.
According to the government of MartĂn Vizcarra, the only person responsible for the situation of Venezuelans is the Venezuelan government, which for months has been silent on the problem, an issue that is not new to social networks.
In addition, Lima assures that it has received in âan attitude of solidarityâ more than 850 thousand Venezuelans and reiterates that it rejects âall forms of xenophobiaâ.
âIn doing so, Peru renews its traditional state policy to promote and defend human rights without discrimination. Therefore, the government of Peru condemns without exception any form of xenophobia.â
El Gobierno del PerĂș rechaza enĂ©rgicamente las acusaciones infundadas sobre actos de xenofobia supuestamente ejecutados o tolerados por el Estado peruano que ha formulado el rĂ©gimen ilegĂtimo y dictatorial de NicolĂĄs Maduro.

That is why Peru, according to the statement issued by its Foreign Ministry, has initiated an orderly migration process, referring to the restrictions on the entry of Venezuelans and the expulsion of dozens of them, and it remains âin contactâ with Deputy Juan GuaidĂł and his team, which they consider “the legitimate authorities of Venezuela.”
For months, videos about attacks on Venezuelans in various areas of Peru, by ordinary citizens and even by regional authorities, have been viralized on social networks.
