The refusal of the Colombian Government, led by its president, Iván Duque, to establish communication bridges with Venezuela in order to solve common situations, could respond to an attempt to «cover up» the internal reality that the New Granadean nation is experiencing, said the political analyst José Vicente Rangel.
During his, «José Vicente Hoy» (José Vicente Today) program, broadcast by Televen, said that the position expressed by the Colombian administration to «take care of» the dialogue initiatives, would seek to hide the «spectacular fall» in Duque’s popularity with the adoption of a policy of aggression against Venezuela:
«The situation with the Government of Colombia is much more delicate and complex than is usually believed. Is it an act of provocation to generate new armed conflicts? Does the President seek to cover up the serious situation in his country? It is not the first time that events of this nature occur, let us remember how the Caldas corvette was about to unleash a war between the two nations», he said in his «Confidentials» segment.
Rangel indicated that the position of the Colombian government demonstrates «a surprising lack of education», arguing the instruction that supposedly received the Neo-Granadinean chancellor, Carlos Holmes Trujillo, not to engage in any kind of conversation with his Venezuelan counterpart, Jorge Arreaza.
«The attitude maintained by the Colombian president, Iván Duque, of refusing to have any contact with Venezuela, is demonstrative of a surprising lack of education», he confirmed.
Recently, Duque said his government would break diplomatic relations with Venezuela starting in January. The decision responds to the non-acknowledgement of the results of the elections of last May 20, date in which Nicolás Maduro was re-elected as President of the Republic with 6, 245,682 votes.
The neogranadinean measure constitutes an aggression to the democratic institutionality of Venezuela, an action that was rejected earlier by the Foreign Ministry of the Bolivarian Republic through a communiqué.
