LIMA - Prosecutors in Peru have opened a preliminary probe into the mayor of an Andean city who promised to “free” his city of Venezuelan immigrants and force companies to hire more locals, the attorney general’s office said on Monday.
Peru’s constitution bans discrimination on the basis of origin, race, sex, language, religion, opinion or economic status. He also suggested a Venezuelan immigrant who had been working as a security guard plotted to kill a local man whose death is still under investigation. Peru has been one of the most welcoming countries for Venezuelan immigrants, granting them special residency cards that allow them to work and access public healthcare as well as education services.
Earlier on Monday, Peru Foreign Minister Nestor Popolizio said the government was now evaluating whether to require Venezuelans to obtain a “humanitarian visa” from its consulate in Caracas before migrating, similar to a measure Chile implemented that has made it harder for Venezuelans to enter the country legally.
