“Venezuela has been the victim of 70 years of war in Colombia,” said the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, when declaring an orange alert to the threat of attack emerging from Bogotá.

On the border, Venezuela is a daily victim of armed gangs, irregular groups, extraction smuggling and national currency attacks, denounced the national leader.

In this regard, he referred to the recent decree issued by the government of Colombia that authorizes holders of Venezuelan cars and motorcycles to register them in border areas.

The law seeks to legalize vehicles stolen in Venezuela, “promoting crime, robbery and kidnapping at the border,” he said.

Furthermore, the President explained that six million Colombians have arrived in the country fleeing from a conflict that has been going on for seven decades and now seems to be intensifying, at the same time that they have revealed the planning of false positives that promote a military conflict against Venezuela.

“We must place ourselves on alert, deploy our forces and tell the world that Venezuela is a peaceful, sovereign country that will never accept any aggression that comes from the territory of Colombia,” he concluded.
