The Executive Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, held a meeting this Thursday with the Resident Coordinator of the United Nations System in Venezuela, Gianluca Rampolla, to thank him on behalf of the Venezuelan government for the efforts made by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to rescue Maikelys Espinoza:
«In a meeting with Ambassador Gianluca Rampolla, Resident Coordinator of the United Nations System in Venezuela, we conveyed President Nicolás Maduro’s gratitude for the efforts made by UNICEF for the successful rescue of Maikelys Espinoza, who is now safe with her family,» wrote the Vice President on her Telegram channel.
She also reaffirmed the request to continue working together for the release of the more than 250 Venezuelan migrants kidnapped at the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) in El Salvador after being deported from the United States without a court order:
«We reaffirm the request to continue working together for the rescue of our fellow citizens who are unjustly kidnapped in El Salvador under the criminal government of Nayib Bukele,» she added.
The girl Maikelys Espinoza was brought to the country this Wednesday on a flight from the Vuelta a la Patria (Return to the Homeland) Plan, and then transferred to Miraflores Palace in Caracas, where she met with her mother, Yorelys Bernal, and her grandmother, Raida Inciarte.
Espinoza was received by the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and the first combatant woman, Cilia Flores.
