REUTERS/Hugo Curotto/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 23 (Reuters) - Venezuelan authorities rejected a flight of Venezuelans expelled from Chile trying to enter the country, a top Chilean official said on Thursday. "They said, 'No, I do not authorize the flight to Venezuela,'" he added. Monsalve, who did not say how many Venezuelans were on the flight, said the decision to send them back also depended on the Venezuelan government.
