The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, informed on Friday the opening on Saturday of the border crossings with Colombia, in Táchira state.
The information was released by the National Head of State through his Twitter account @NicolásMaduro:
«We are a people of peace who firmly defend our independence and self-determination,» he wrote.
Last February, Venezuela announced the temporary and total closure of the Simón Bolívar, Unión and Santander bridges, which communicate with Colombia in the western border of the country, as a prevention of false positives that were prepared in the middle of the attempt to enter an alleged «humanitarian aid».
