Venezuelans are leaving Brazil's border state Roraima and returning to their countries by buses driving out of capital Boa Vista. After crossing the border, they switch into vehicles that take them to their places of origin.

Roraima has been the entrance of the immigrants for months, and governor Suely Campos (PP) said that 6,000 returnees is not much when compared to the total numbers of Venezuelans currently living in the state, said to be around 40,000.

Campos said the local government has nothing to do with this repatriation by dribs and drabs. She noted that Venezuelan officials never reached her to ask for support with the effort.

However, back in September, she said that the state would pay buses to the border for those who wanted to return to their country through Nicolás Maduro repatriation program.

According to the Caracas government, the returnees'reasons to come back are xenophobia, work violations, unemployment, health issues, and economic hardships.

In the streets of Boa Vista, Venezuelans heard by Folha say they have no interest in returning to their country because of the social and economic situation there.
