Ahead of the 2020 presidential election, former President Donald Trump was making gains with the Cuban American voters in South Florida.With those votes locked in, he set his sights on another promising group: Venezuelan Americans.  His campaign and other conservatives focused on their growing fears of socialism and political unrest in the United States.

The New York Yankees have won every game they have played this week, and if we add Sunday’s victory against the Tampa Bay Rays, they have an ongoing four-game winning streak. Many more “Ws” are needed for them to be officially back, but they are evidently trending in the right direction after their poor second half play, especially in August. Venezuelan players are behind the Yanks’ recent surge. In fact, four of the nine members of the lineup for one of the games against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday were Venezuelan: Oswald Peraza, Oswaldo Cabrera, Marwin Gonzalez, and Gleyber Torres.By Andres Chavez.

Traducción de cortesía -> Los Yankees de Nueva York han ganado todos los partidos que han jugado esta semana, y si le sumamos la victoria del domingo ante los Rays de Tampa Bay, tienen una racha de cuatro victorias consecutivas. Se necesitan muchos más “World Series” para que regresen oficialmente, pero evidentemente están en la dirección correcta después de su pobre juego en la segunda mitad, especialmente en agosto. Los jugadores venezolanos están detrás del reciente aumento de los Yankees. De hecho, cuatro de los nueve integrantes de la alineación de uno de los partidos contra los Mellizos de Minnesota el miércoles fueron venezolanos: Oswald Peraza, Oswaldo Cabrera, Marwin González y Gleyber Torres.

Esta investigación encuentra que la población total de Venezuela en 2020 puede ser estimada en 28.142.489 habitantes (+/- 3,9%). Tomando en consideración que el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas de Venezuela proyectaba una población de 32.605.423 habitantes para ese año, nuestra estimación implica que el país tiene 14% menos población que lo que se esperaba tener de acuerdo a proyecciones oficiales. Esta estimación permite escalar la magnitud de la pérdida poblacional producto del éxodo migratorio venezolano en 4.462.934 personas. Esta cifra destaca como menor a la estimación de las agencias internacionales especializadas, que para la época situaban la cantidad total de migrantes y refugiados venezolanos en unos 5,4 millones de personas [11].

At least 4,400 Venezuelans have been stranded for four months in 11 countries due to air restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic. They demand the authorization of special flights that allow them to return to Caracas, as they no longer have the means to support themselves. Around 500 of them are in Spain. Despite having a ticket, they have not been able to fly to their country, since Venezuela suspended air operations until July 12 and it is unknown if it could extend the measure due to the increase in cases of COVID-19.

With the support of a partner, the Government of Guyana has been using a global data system called PRIMES for the biometric registration and documentation of new arrivals from Venezuela in Region 1. Household Registration Certificates were issued by Immigration authorities to Venezuelans upon their entry into Guyana, including a provision against forced return and a renewable three-month stay permit. In this framework, a partner supported Immigration authorities to conduct biometric registration in the remote southwest area of Region 1 and expanded biometric registration activities from Region 1 to Region 7. A total of 260 Venezuelans, including persons with disabilities, received Household Registration Certificates and stay permits during this activity which included locations such as Puruni and Itabali in Region 7.
