Venezuelan journalists exiled in Spain are requesting the issuance of passports and assurances of safe return to their home country. The group, represented by Venezuelan Press, expressed cautious optimism regarding recent dialogue initiatives aimed at fostering a democratic transition in Venezuela. They are also advocating for the complete release of detained journalists and media workers still in Venezuela. This demand for documentation is seen as a crucial step towards enabling exiled reporters to potentially resume their work within Venezuela, should conditions improve. The journalists emphasize the need for guarantees protecting their safety and freedom of expression upon their return. This call for action highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the Venezuelan press and the desire for a more open and democratic media landscape. The organization believes these steps are vital for rebuilding a free press in Venezuela.
