Diaspora wants to include migrants in dialogue for democratic transition in Venezuela

The Venezuelan diaspora is asking to be included in the dialogue about the democratic transition in Venezuela. The request was formalized through a joint statement signed by 106 organizations spread across Latin America, North America and Europe. The document argues that Venezuelan migrants and refugees, who total millions of people spread around the world, must have a voice in discussions about the country's political future. The signing organizations represent Venezuelan communities abroad that want to actively participate in the change process. This request reflects the growing concern that the diaspora, one of the largest in the world, is not being represented at international negotiation tables on the Venezuelan crisis.
