Arreaza rejects accusations that Venezuela interferes in Colombia
Caracas, May 6 (Prensa Latina) Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza on Wednesday rejected statements of some Latin American politicians who accused the Bolivarian government of protests rolled out in Colombia. They had taken a long time to blame Venezuela! These two individuals of a political species in the process of extinction, underestimate their peoples and quote each other to evade their guilt and incompetence. What a shame! , Arreaza tweeted.
Arreaza s statements come after former Colombian President Andrés Pastrana echoed Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno´s accusations about Nicolás Maduro´s alleged accountability for demonstrations in that neighboring nation.
There are 29 days left until President Lenín Moreno ends his term and Guillermo Lasso, who won the elections on April 11, takes the post.
President Lenín Moreno will travel to the United States next week to speak at the ‘Forum for the Defense of Democracy’.
Moreno dedicated a good part of his mandate to moving away from the political and economic heritage of his predecessor and affirmed, in an interview with
La Nación, that Ecuador was on the way to being a new Venezuela.
“Yes of course. Let us remember that the previous president, the economist (Rafael) Correa, built roads and bridges to Colombia that did not have a continuation, that ended in a mountain, and that were destined to transport narcotics. On the other hand, the radars were damaged so that they cannot detect the planes that transported drugs. A band of permissiveness was created in which drug traffickers could be and roam without any restriction, ”he said.
