- •A team of Peruvian USAR firefighters has returned home after a search and rescue mission in Venezuela, according to Gestión.
BIASES
Peru's consular-centric approach focuses heavily on Peruvian nationals who have been evacuated or are still in the area, overshadowing the overall human impact in Venezuela.Peruvian outlets show a preference for official sources, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and state agencies, with few firsthand accounts from Venezuelan individuals affected by the crisis.The internal political stakes in Venezuela receive limited coverage, with the debate on sanctions being presented through the voices of foreign academics, lacking analysis of the bilateral diplomatic context between Peru and Venezuela.
