A 34-year-old man from Caracas, named Alejandro Flores has said that Nicolás Maduro forced him to leave his country.
Flores said he was fortunate to move to the US years ago to study, but his family members stayed behind and had a hard time with money.
He said that some of them live in buildings that were damaged by the US attack, which eventually resulted in Maduro being arrested.
DAILY POST reported that Nicolás Maduro pleaded not guilty to drug and weapons charges against him at the federal court in Manhattan on Monday.
Flores was part of a group of Venezuelans who cheered and sang as the former Latin American leader was taken to the US.
“The fact that Maduro is in court shows that justice is being carried out. He is the reason millions of Venezuelans left their country in search of food,” Flores, who now lives in Brooklyn, said as quoted by the Guardian UK.
“I want to see my country free, I want my Colombian wife to visit my country, I want to have the chance to celebrate with my family who still lives there, but if you ask me if Venezuela is free, the answer is: not yet.
“Venezuelans have to choose who they want to be their president,” he said.
