Boluarte announces that Venezuelan migrants must show rental and work contracts
The president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, announced that the Executive will promote adjustments to regularize the situation of Venezuelan migrants such as the requirement that they show work and rental contracts, as well as monitor the sending of foreign currency outside the country, with the aim of fighting organized crime.
Boluarte’s announcement about Venezuelans
“We are going to track the currencies and remittances that are sent outside the country, to know where they generate that income from. And the one who does not answer with certainty where his income is from, well, that’s where we’re going to fall,” Boluarte said in the balance of his government management of the last eight months.
After more than 100 days without reporting to the press, Boluarte specified that they are going to make adjustments in Migration to demand that “every Venezuelan”, who apparently works legally, present the employment and rental contract.
In this sense, the president also asked property owners to take care of “to those who rent” their homes.
“We are going to go hand in hand with the National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration (Sunat) to be able to control those who rent and those who do not show where their income is from,” he reiterated.
The president addressed the issue of the swee of extortion and organized crime that is going through Peru and assured that they will capture foreign criminals.
“We will throw criminals out of the national territory”
“To the foreign criminals who are in our country, we say to them, we will throw them out of the national territory, we are not going to allow them to stay one more day in our territory,” Boluarte said.
He said that the departure of about 9 million Venezuelans due to the failure of the Government of that country “affects all countries of the world” and that there is an exodus of migrants that has not been seen “since the time of Moses.”
In this sense, he added that, for years, Peru left the borders open to Venezuelan migrants.
“We know well who has left our borders open, and thousands of them have entered our borders without even mentioning their names. And those subsequent governments have been doing nothing in the face of crime,” he said.

The Venezuela Command, the campaign team of opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia, denounced the “kidnapping” and subsequent release of political leader María Corina Machado after she led a protest in Caracas on the eve of the Venezuelan presidential inauguration.
In a post on X, the opposition team stated that the former lawmaker was “intercepted and knocked off the motorcycle she was traveling on” after leading a rally in the Chacao area of the Venezuelan capital.
“Gunshots were fired during the incident. She was forcibly detained. During her kidnapping, she was forced to record several videos, and then she was released,” the statement added, which was made public nearly two hours after Machado’s party, Vente Venezuela, reported that she had been “violently intercepted.”

Puerto Rico’s Governor Jenniffer González expressed her sorrow over Venezuela’s political crisis on Thursday and voiced her support for Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia, just one day before President Nicolás Maduro is set to take office following the controversial July elections.

“The Venezuelan community has my full support, and, as we have done in the past, we will maintain that line of communication with whatever we can collaborate on,” assured the Puerto Rican head of government.
González Urrutia is currently in the Dominican Republic, the last announced stop on his American tour, where he was accompanied by Dominican President Luis Abinader and former Latin American presidents from the Spain and Americas Democratic Initiative (Grupo Idea).
