This Monday, the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, warned that the US empire’s greed for natural resources represents a threat to Venezuela and the New Granada country.
Likewise, he indicated that the accusations about an alleged link with drug trafficking are false. «Bolívar’s sword was never smeared with cocaine. “The power is not ours, it belongs to the people.”
This statement by the Colombian president goes in the same direction as what was said by his Venezuelan counterpart, Nicolás Maduro, who has repeatedly maintained that the presence of United States (US) troops in the Caribbean seeks a change of government in his country and thus appropriates the non-renewable natural wealth that even the right-wing of Venezuela has offered to him.
Likewise, the head of state of Venezuela has said, with evidence, that since the Drug Control Administration (DEA) was expelled, the fight against drug trafficking has increased.
