Venezuelan migrants in Argentina get a sense of deja vu as crisis builds via ReutersTV
BUENOS AIRES - Andreina Pirrone left Venezuela for Argentina six years ago as her country was spiraling toward the worst humanitarian crisis in its history. She did not know what the future would hold, but she was certain it would be brighter.
“It is not something I would like to go through again. I worked very hard to get my family out of there and now to have possibly brought them to the same situation is terrible,” said Pirrone, whose mother and sister have since joined her in Argentina. Argentina’s center-right President Mauricio Macri was soundly beaten in a primary vote in August, making it highly likely that October’s election will be won by the main Peronist opposition ticket, which includes divisive populist ex-President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
“Really, the first thing you think is to leave,” said Alejandro Dugarte, an employee at a digital payments firm in Buenos Aires, who left Venezuela three years ago. The sound of Venezuelan salsa music and scent of arepa cakes grilling have become familiar to cities across the region, including Buenos Aires. Nearly 650,000 registered Venezuelan migrants have settled in Argentina in the last few years.
Fears of political upheaval, though, have spooked some Venezuelans. Fernandez de Kirchner, the vice presidential opposition candidate who led the country between 2007-2015, was once an ideological ally of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
