The first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, said that this is not the first or the last time that Venezuela has helped those displaced from Colombia.


“The Colombian people have moved to Venezuela in search of peace, as a result of the violence that exists in their territory. This is not new, up to 5 million Colombians arrived in Venezuela in the past and here we gave them a hug,” said Cabello, during the press conference of the National Directorate of the PSUV.


Cabello recalled that, historically, the border in Colombian territory has been abandoned by the governments of that country.

Venezuela cannot turn its back on our Colombian brothers, we have never done that and in Revolution least of all. President Nicolás Maduro immediately gave the order for immediate attention to the displaced and the Simon Bolivar Task Force was activated, the Bolivarian National Armed Force (FANB) was deployed, three Rapid Reaction Units (URRAS) were activated, we have hospitals, shelters and care centers,” he said.


He also pointed out that Venezuela does not care about the attacks it has received from former Colombian leaders. “It's the people that matter to us,” he said.
