Venezuelan Migrant

The ongoing emigration of millions of Venezuelans from their native country is the largest recorded refugee crisis in the Americas. The refugee crisis followed the Bolivarian Revolution, an attempt by the successive presidents Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro to establish a cultural and political hegemony, which culminated in the crisis in Venezuela. The resulting refugee crisis has been compared to those faced by Cuban exiles, Syrian refugees and those affected by the European migrant crisis. The Bolivarian government has denied any migratory crisis, stating that the United Nations and others are attempting to justify foreign intervention within Venezuela.
