00:00And precisely in El Salvador, social movements condemn the proposal of President Nayib Bukele
00:05to exchange, kidnapped Venezuelans migrants in a maximum security prison in that country.
00:11They also describe it as hypocritical, the president's affirmation that in his country
00:16there are no political prisoners.
00:18From San Salvador, our correspondent Robert Hugo Presa with the details.
00:23The organizations that make up the popular resistance and rebellion bloc
00:27raise their voices in condemnation of President Nayib Bukele's proposal
00:32to use imprisoned Venezuelan migrants as a bargaining chip.
00:38We have strongly repudiated the cynicism of the Bukele regime,
00:43who in a desperate attempt to wash its image before the international community
00:48has ended up accepting that it is holding Venezuelan citizens hostage publicly on its ex-account,
00:54an alleged prisoner exchange between Venezuela and El Salvador.
00:59This act is nothing more than a propaganda maneuver to hide its own repressive
01:05and criminal policy against the Salvadoran people.
01:08This social movement affirms that, in El Salvador, there is persecution of opponents and political prisoners.
01:27Historical leaders of the Salvadoran left persecuted for their legacy of revolutionary struggle,
01:37as in the case of Eugenio Chicas, members of social organizations such as Fidel Zavala,
01:44Atilio Montalvo, Pepe Molara, and other unionists.
01:48Environmental activists such as the defenders of Cabanas imprisoned for opposing mining and neoliberal plundering.
01:58Journalists and critical communicators silenced for denouncing human rights violations.
02:04The social movement regrets that El Salvador is adopting a strategy of interference.
02:19We regret and condemn that these acts of interference continue to be repeated.
02:26It is also regrettable the vocabulary used by President Bukele when referring to the government of Nicolas Maduro, of Comrade Nicolas.
02:35This is really a smokescreen.
02:45The FMLN also took a firm position.
02:48The Secretary General of the party considers that this is a maneuver previously planned by the global ultra-right.
02:53Why have only Venezuelans been brought to the Secote prison in El Salvador?
03:00Why not Peruvians?
03:02Why haven't they deported people from other countries?
03:06And this is precisely the question we are asking ourselves at the international level.
03:14It is a plot prepared by the fascist right wing of Venezuela, by Marco Rubio, by the U.S.,
03:20globalists, against countries that do not bow their heads before the pretensions of Donald Trump.
03:32Officially, the Supreme Court of Justice and the Salvadoran Prosecutor's Office have not responded to the request
03:37made public on Sunday by the Venezuelan prosecutor, who asked for details of the migrants in prison more than a month ago.
03:43Roberto Hugo Presa, Telesur, El Salvador.
