He sincerely thanks the Colombian president for his actions: “I know he loves Venezuela very much”
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has applauded the meeting held between his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Petro, and a group of Venezuelan opposition members in the city of Cúcuta, in the border department of Norte de Santander, to address US violence and attacks in the Caribbean.
The meeting, in which the parties discussed the recent attacks carried out by the US military against alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean and Pacific Oceans, is “excellent news” for Maduro, as he stated on his program ‘Maduro Live de Repente’.
“I congratulate the Venezuelan opposition members who went to Cúcuta at the special invitation of President Petro, who loves Venezuela very much because he knows we are one people, the people of Bolívar, of Gran Colombia,” the president stated.
In this regard, he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Petro for “everything he does to defend the sovereignty of South America.” “He knows he can count on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to re-establish Gran Colombia, sooner rather than later, and to guarantee the sovereignty and peace of our territory,” he asserted.
Petro himself, in a message on social media, expressed his “rejection of the violence” perpetrated against the neighboring country and showed his support for a “national democratic agreement to end the situation Venezuela is experiencing in the face of these imperialist threats.”
“I have met in Cúcuta with social, business, and labor groups from Venezuela. They want to be a voice that rejects all forms of violence against their country and to open a process of national democratic agreement,” he noted.
