Join this conversation on the reception of Venezuelan refugees in Curaçao.
The political and economic crisis in Venezuela has led to one of the largest mass movements in South America’s history. Due to lack of food, medical care and future prospects, more than 3.4 million people have left Venezuela. Some of the refugees ended up in Curaçao, which is 70 km away from Venezuela. According to legal experts and aid organizations, the reception of these refugees is very worrying and human rights are being violated.
Moderator Natasja Gibbs talks with Venezuelan Mary Goidi (VenEurope), Paul Comenencia (member of the Council of State on behalf of Curaçao) and Frans Glissenaar (journalist and researcher). What are the experiences of Venezuelans on the island? And what responsibility does the Kingdom of the Netherlands have?
