As a triumph of the ‘diplomatic fence’ President Iván Duque described the announcement by the Government of Joe Biden as
relax some sanctions
imposed on Venezuela due to the violation of human rights.
The mandatary assured that international pressure led to Nicolás Maduro having to sit down with the oppositionn to seek the return of democracy in that country, which also allows it to recognize the outrages that were committed in the past.
“The talks are resumed in Mexico, that is a triumph of the Venezuelan democratic resistance and it is also a triumph of the diplomatic siege, because Maduro had said that he would not sit down once more until Alex Saab was released, and they did not release himOn the contrary, he has been extradited and will continue to be prosecuted,” said Duque.
The mandatary of Colombians insisted that this ‘diplomatic fence’ must be maintained so that democracy returns in the neighboring country and the Maduro dictatorship does not continue to perpetuate itself in power.
Meanwhile, the United States ambassador to ColombiaPhilip S. Goldberg, spoke regarding his government’s decision to relax some economic sanctions once morest Venezuela.
“The push of the opposition is also good, the Guaidó government wants to continue talking with a political solution (…) It is not an aid to Maduro, it is a way of trying to coincide with the policies of President Guaidó”, he pointed out.
