Theodoros Marangelis, President of the Greek Community in Caracas, Venezuela, said that the situation in the capital of the Latin American country has returned to normal following the dramatic events of the weekend that led to the arrest of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. armed forces. He was speaking on Voice of Greece radio, on the program “Our Global Voice”, with Dimitris Kontogiannis.
Mr Marangelis also referred to the prevailing economic conditions, noting that the monthly salary stands at around two euros; to the anticipated reopening of the Greek Embassy in Caracas in the first half of 2026; and to the history of Greek migration to Venezuela, mainly after the Second World War. The Greek Community, which numbered around 10,000 people in the past, is now estimated to have declined to approximately 3,000.
