A new form of harassment against the Return to the Homeland Plan was put into practice on May 18, when the Repsol company refused to supply fuel to two Conviasa airplanes that had been authorized for the return to the country of 180 Venezuelans who were in Peruvian territory.
Although the Venezuelan airline had complied with all the protocols prior to the arrival of its aircraft to the Peruvian air terminal, this unexpected obstacle arises from Repsol and Petroperú, as reported journalist Isbemar Jiménez, president of the Radio Nacional de Venezuela network.
She blamed the Peruvian government for this action that attempted against the rights of this group of 180 Venezuelans, among whom were 54 boys and girls, 35 adults and older adults, seven pregnant women and eight people with serious diagnoses.
In addition to refusing access to fuel, the Peruvian authorities demanded that the Venezuelan crew deliver patrimonial information to ensure that it was not linked to drug money laundering activities, as reported the journalist:
“They were trying to attack the morale of Conviasa workers”, she said, adding that this is part of the policy of persecution and demonization of the Venezuelan people: “it is an unprecedented fact.”
The immediate intervention of the Venezuelan Government and the pressure of international public opinion led Repsol to reverse the measure. The company issued a statement in which it said that everything was due to a misunderstanding, later facilitating the access to fuel.
