La incidencia de la pandemia de Covid-19 en las condiciones de vida de los migrantes venezolanos hacia Colombia y el discurso aporofóbico. (Spanish)

The incidence of the Covid-19 pandemic on the living conditions of Venezuelan migrants to Colombia and the aporophobic discourse. (English)

This article aims to verify that the Covid-19 pandemic has reinforced discriminatory attitudes and social rejection by a significant part of the Colombian population towards low-income Venezuelan migrants and has contributed to the implementation by the Colombian government of a migration policy that (i) has abruptly stopped the flow of this segment of the migrant population into Colombia, (ii) has further restricted their access to services and fundamental rights in Colombian territory; and (iii) has contributed to the development of an aporophobic discourse in the country. The conceptual reference to address this hypothesis is the term aporophobia. A term whose longevity is not very wide, but which allows to frame the matrix of understanding of this phenomenon with sufficiency. The methodology chosen to operationalize this research is based on the quantifiable qualitative method in which the data collected by other sources are used by the authors to interpret the behavior of the object of study.

Este artículo apunta a constatar que la pandemia del Covid-19 ha reforzado las actitudes discriminatorias y de rechazo social por una parte importante de la población colombiana frente a los migrantes venezolanos de bajos recursos y ha coadyuvado a la implementación por el gobierno de Colombia de una política migratoria que (i) ha detenido abruptamente el flujo hacía Colombia de este segmento de la población migrante, (ii) ha restringido aún más su acceso a servicios y derechos fundamentales en territorio colombiano; y (iii) ha contribuido al desarrollo de un discurso aporofóbico en el país. El referente conceptual para abordar esta hipótesis es el del término de aporofobia. Un término cuya longevidad no es muy amplia, pero que permite encuadrar la matriz de entendimiento de este fenómeno con suficiencia. La metodología escogida para operacionalizar esta investigación se funda en el método cualitativo cifrable en el que los datos recogidos por otras fuentes sirven a los autores para interpretar el comportamiento del objeto de estudio.
