Caracas has doubled down on⁤ its warnings​ to Venezuelan citizens, asserting that travel to the United States poses critically important risks. Diosdado Cabello, first vice president ⁤of ​Venezuela’s​ ruling ⁢United socialist ⁤Party, reiterated on Monday that a travel alert remains‌ in effect for all nationals contemplating a ​trip to ‍the​ U.S.

“We also maintain an alert​ advising ​against any Venezuelan traveling to the​ United States. It is a ⁢dangerous destination, ‌arguably the most dangerous country‍ for our citizens,” Cabello stated during a ‌press conference. He characterized the U.S. travel alerts as recurring, but argued that Venezuela’s ‍warning is⁣ perpetual, ⁢contingent on a⁣ cessation of what it deems “repression” ​within the United States.

Cabello went further, suggesting that Venezuelan citizens arriving in the U.S.‍ should undergo psychiatric evaluations. A⁢ Venezuelan ⁢who goes to the⁤ United States at this time,the first thing to do is a psychiatric test, he remarked,a statement laden with ⁢political undertones.

The Venezuelan ⁢Foreign Ministry initially issued a⁢ “maximum travel alert” ⁣last June, citing concerns for the safety ⁤and⁣ human rights of its citizens‌ in the U.S. The ministry’s statement described the U.S. as a place where ⁣ human rights do not exist ‍for migrants. A video shared on the ​ministry’s Telegram channel urged Venezuelans to cancel travel⁤ plans and those already residing in⁣ the U.S. to consider returning ​home.

This escalation in rhetoric comes amid a backdrop of increasing political ‌tension between Venezuela and the United states, and a significant outflow of Venezuelan migrants seeking economic opportunity and refuge from the ⁣ongoing political and economic crisis in ⁢their homeland. The Venezuelan government consistently blames the U.S.⁢ for ⁣the country’s woes, citing sanctions and alleged interference in its internal affairs.

The situation is complex, with factors including U.S. sanctions, internal corruption, and the‍ policies of the maduro ‌regime all contributing to the ⁣crisis. ‌Experts predict the outflow will continue unless‍ significant political and economic reforms are implemented.
