(CNN Español) – Colombia rejects and classifies as “absurd” the statements made by the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, which states that the protection of Colombia is open to Venezuelan migrants and is a “payer”.
“As part of his discourse, Nicolás Maduro’s illegitimate and criminal regime reaffirms his indifferent and cruel actions towards the grave reality of humanitarian, economic, political and social reality that the Venezuelan people are facing,” the Colombian government indicated in a statement. “The Temporary Statute for the Protection of Migrants reflects the Colombian compromise to support the reconstruction of the life-long projects of our Venezuelan troops that he saw in the need to abandon his country,” the official note states.
