EU hosts Venezuela migrant talks
By Lorne Cook
BRUSSELS (AP) — Hundreds of representatives
from governments, international
agencies and charity groups
gathered in Brussels Monday for a “solidarity
conference” to drum up support
for millions of Venezuelans who have
fled the political crisis and to help
neighboring countries that are taking
them in.
The South American nation of
roughly 30 million people is gripped
by a deepening political and economic
crisis. People live in fear of anything
from violent street protests to a massive
power failure. The International Monetary
Fund says inflation is expected to
hit a staggering 200,000% this year.
Around 4.5 million people have fled
Venezuela in recent years to escape low
wages, failing basic services and a lack
of security, and the numbers will soon
surpass the 5.6 million who’ve left conflict
ravaged Syria since 2011 if departures
continue at the same rate.
“The magnitude, reach and complexity
of the current crisis has some global
implications, including the European
continent. It can also pose risks to
regional stability,” Eduardo Stein, the
Venezuela envoy for the U.N.’s refugee
agency and the International Organization
for Migration, told delegates at
the start of the two-day meeting in the
Belgian capital.
“For the coming year, we project the
total number of Venezuelan refugees

and migrants world-wide to pass from
4.5 million to 6.5 million, nearly 85% of
whom will be found in Latin America,”
he said.
Most Venezuelans have remained in
Latin America, notably Colombia, or
the Caribbean, weighing heavily on
those economies.
Stein said the sheer weight of arrivals
in host countries “has overburdened
their institutional scaffolding’’ and that
“their budgets are exhausted.” Despite
the popular goodwill and many acts
of charity, resentment is slowly rising
among the citizens of Venezuela’s
neighbors as money is spent to help the
displaced.
