In a clear rebuke to Washington’s escalating interventionist tactics, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has categorically rejected the recent travel advisory issued by the U.S. Department of State. Caracas denounced the alert as a cynical and racist act of psychological warfare designed to fuel a permanent campaign of aggression against the Venezuelan people and their revolutionary government.

The Venezuelan government emphasized that the country remains a land of peace and hospitality for those who approach with respect and solidarity. The official statement highlighted Venezuela’s dignity and sovereignty, affirming that any visitor with a spirit of brotherhood will find open doors despite the hostile narrative propagated by Washington and its local collaborators. Far from protecting travelers, the U.S. alert functions as a tool to destabilize and discredit the Bolivarian Revolution.

Caracas sharply criticized the United States for its lack of moral authority to lecture on human rights, citing egregious abuses on U.S. soil. The Venezuelan communiqué recalled the images of children imprisoned in cages, families torn apart by forced separations, arbitrary deportations, and detention centers reminiscent of concentration camps. It also condemned systemic racism, police brutality, and the inhumane treatment of Venezuelan migrants, including those unlawfully detained in El Salvador under U.S. influence.

The text Reads: #Statement 📢 The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela categorically rejects the new travel alert issued by the United States Department of State, a hostile act full of cynicism, racism, and political propaganda, which seeks to fuel the campaign of permanent aggression against our country.

The Venezuelan government spotlighted the case of Maikelys Antonella Espinoza Bernal, a Venezuelan child held without justification at the U.S. southern border, accusing Washington of using her as a political pawn to bolster the Venezuelan ultraright. This example underscores the broader pattern of arbitrary detentions, disappearances, and violations inflicted upon Venezuelan migrants by U.S. authorities, reflecting a broader strategy of repression and intimidation.

The latest U.S. travel advisory, which escalates the warning to its highest level, is part of a long-standing campaign to isolate Venezuela internationally and justify continued interference. It warns of exaggerated risks such as terrorism and civil unrest, ignoring the resilience and sovereignty of the Venezuelan people. The advisory conveniently omits the context of U.S.-backed destabilization efforts and sanctions that have severely impacted Venezuela’s economy and social fabric.
