00:00Now let's go to Venezuela where two new Back to the Homeland airplanes are arriving at this moment at the international airports in Mount Bolivar in La Guayra State.
00:11We can see live footage of the airplanes already arriving in the country with the 252 Venezuelan citizens kidnapped in Salvadoran concentration camps, in torture camps.

00:48President Maduro is offering statements, let's listen.
00:51They have arrived from the concentration camps of Nayib Bukele.
00:57They were kidnapped.
01:00Venezuela made an exchange paying a high price, but we needed to free them.
01:09And we hand over a group of terrorists, convicted terrorists and confessed terrorists, who came to Venezuela and were captured here in Venezuela.
01:21They tried to kill the President of the Republic, some revolutionary leaders, civilians, military men from Venezuela.
01:32And this was an exchange that we needed to do to acquire the freedom of these boys.
01:41And we accepted to hand over 10 terrorists, convicted and confessed criminals, agents of the CIA, who were captured.
01:54And we neutralized the terrorist action that they came here to perform on July terrorists by terrorists handed over for innocents.
02:13This is, this is, the Venezuelan family is victorious, the peace of Venezuela is victorious.
02:20And we said so, rains, thunderstorms, not even rain, thunderstorms or hails, we will rescue safe and sound those Venezuelans kidnapped in concentration camps of torture of Nayib Bukele.
02:41Now the truth will come to the light of how those concentration camps really work, of the serial violation of human rights in those concentration camps in El Salvador of torture of camps of Nayib Bukele.
02:59Now the truth will come to the light and justice will be made.
03:04And there are the family members, we are at this moment at the Farmers' Peace and Congress, National Peace and Congress of inaugural of the new powerful union, National Peace and Union, Ezequiel Zamora.
03:22This is a holy day, July 18th.
03:26I want to thank the work done by Jorge Rodriguez, let's give him a round of applause for his political capacity, diplomatic capacity, permanent dialogue with the government of the United States.
03:43And I want to thank President Trump as well for the decision to rectify this situation and to regulate this situation.
03:55I want to thank as well the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Gregorio Chavez, Cardinal of El Salvador, for what he done for these boys.
04:09And I want to thank the former President of Spain, Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, always Rodriguez Zapatero, helping peace and justice.
04:20And I want to thank as well everyone involved, everyone who have been present, involved in this action.
04:32We are very alive in a national chain from Congress, the Farmers' Congress, transmitting, broadcasting the arrival of 252 Venezuelans who were kidnapped and disappeared in concentration camps of Nayib Bukele.
04:54In El Salvador, we have contact with Jorge and with Diosdado.
05:03Can you send cameras for him?
05:06We are witnessing the arrival of the Venezuelan airplane who brings back from concentration camps.
05:13There we went in person to rescue them and we have brought him safe and sound.
05:22And there we see Diosdado Cabello, accompanied by our Vice President, Telsi Rodriguez, the negotiator, Excellency, Your Excellency Jorge Rodriguez.
05:33Go ahead, Diosdado.
05:34We are listening to you here from the Farmers' Congress.
05:38Good afternoon, President, greetings for everyone from Venezuela.
05:46We are here at the international airport, Simon Bolivar Airport in Maiketia, receiving, welcoming the first airplane and the second airplane has arrived as well.
06:02It is landing at this moment, the second airplane.
06:08The first airplane is at this moment at the homeland soil.
06:14We are going to receive them like we have been receiving all of those boys and men and women.
06:21You know that they are coming from a kidnapping, from a concentration camp.
06:26They are coming from an infamous place where they were kidnapped by the government of El Salvador.
06:33And thanks to the Bolivarian government, we have been little by the nation between the two governments, from the government of the United States and that of Venezuela, directly, without intermediaries, mediators.
06:54We have achieved an agreement, because it brings back to Venezuela, boys who were kidnapped.
07:04We have paid a high price.
07:06But in the middle of negotiations, we do believe that the price that we are paying for this group of Venezuelans were said.
07:14Because they are Venezuelans who were subjected to torturers, humiliations by a government in a territory who did not commit any crime.
07:28Those young men who arrive at this moment in Venezuela in this airplane that comes from El Salvador will be received here in Venezuela as brothers.
07:38With the same protocol we have been applying since the very first day, president, they know that is how things are, because in some way they have learned about the protocol that we are going to be receiving him.
07:54They are going to be performing medical checks, because they come from a place where we do not know what they have been subjected to.
08:04The government of terror, the government of terror, El Salvador's government, is criminal and has turned itself into a reference of all things that are bad.
08:21They are going to be received and they are not criminals.
08:24If any of them have criminal charges here in Venezuela, the law will fall upon them.
08:39When we combine this with the arrival of seven children, boys and girls who were kidnapped in the United States, we do have reasons to be happy.
08:48Today is Friday, Friday of joy for Venezuela, we are going to go up to the airplane at this moment to speak to the boys who are arriving at this moment and they are going to be in a few moments to stepping up their soil that wants them to be born.
09:11This beautiful land, this beautiful land, this beautiful land, who has never closed their doors for any of their citizens and also who have been given birth to dignified people.
09:22No government is authorized to mistreat a person just because of their migrant condition or for not being from that same place or from that country.
09:34This is an act of justice, this is an act of justice and we are vindicating our nationals coming from them, from any place of the world.
09:45They are taking away terrorists, delinquents, people who declare, confess their criminal plans here in Venezuela that try to cause harm in Venezuela.
09:57We are taking the responsibility and the tranquility of bringing back to the homeland to 152 citizens.
10:06Go ahead, President.
10:09Congratulations.
10:12You have a great team there.
10:18And now we will reunify that family to support those boys.
10:23Some of them come with physical consequences due to the tortures they received in the concentration camps.
10:32We have made justice.
10:34Today I can say that on Nelson Mandela's birthday, Mandela was born precisely on July 18th of 1918.
10:48Today is the World Day of Nelson Mandela's birthday, and it looks like his spirit is joining us today.
10:56We have recovered and rescued from our Nazi concentration camp of Nayib Bukele 252 Venezuelans who are already in their homeland, free, finally free, long left to freedom, long left to justice, long left to humanity.
