The population of Venezuelans in Barranquilla is waiting for the announcement of the president-elect Gustavo Petro to reopen the borders with Venezuela.
From the Organization of Venezuelans in Barranquilla indicated that they only ask that the governments of Colombia and Venezuela respect the rights of people and crossing the border is one of them because for many years the border crossing has been for supply, access to health, study and other things.
“This is a crisis of refugees and migrants who come from Venezuela, seeking better opportunities in access to health, employment and education mainly,” says Juan Viloria, from the Organization of Venezuelans in Barranquilla
Meanwhile, in Paraguachón, in the border area in La Guajira with Venezuela, they hope that with the reopening of the borders there will be greater legality, commercial dynamics and security aside
