This Tuesday, the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, emphasized that his territory will not be used to invade any nation in the area, amid the tension unleashed by the military deployment of the United States (US) in the Caribbean, considered a threat by Venezuela.

“Colombia will not lend its territory to any invasion by any neighboring country, or any of its men, unless it is stateless and genocidal. How are we going to allow an invasion of Venezuela,” said the dignitary.

During the inauguration of the Center for International Police Cooperation of the Amazon (CCPI), in the Brazilian city of Manaus, Petro stated that an internal conflict in Venezuela can only be resolved through dialogue between the parties. “So they're going to tell us that it's solved with missiles, like in Palestine? What is that in the Homeland of Bolivar, the Liberator?” , he questioned.

He also advocated promoting a new round of talks between political actors in his neighboring country. “(Let it be) reconsider political dialogue in Venezuela because the Venezuelan people have to unite everything, because the threat is one of invasion,” he stressed.
