Chancellor Arreaza rules out changes in Colombian diplomacy after leaking audios confirming their interference in Venezuela


“There is no point in believing in the Colombian diplomacy”, said on Wednesday the Chancellor of the Republic, Jorge Arreaza, after the revealing of an audio of a conversation between the Colombian ambassador to the United States, Francisco Santos Calderón, and the new Minister for Foreign Affairs, Claudia Blum, in which is confirmed the interference of the foreign policy of the neighboring country in the internal affairs of Venezuela.
The Venezuelan Chancellor ruled out in a Tweet published in his account @jaarreaza the possibility of changes in the diplomatic practices of Bogotá towards the Bolivarian country: “ Were leaked conversations in which the new Chancellor gets in despair because there was no coup d’etat in Venezuela, Guaidó does not work, Trump does not intervene, the CIA does not act, TIAR does not work”.
This Wednesday, Colombian media leaked a recording between Santos and Blum in which is heard a little diplomatic private conversation held in a restaurant in the city of Washington, which registers how Santos makes a kind of induction to the new Chancellor in matters of international relations.
The topic that occupied the conversation to a greater extent was the situation in Venezuela. In the dialogue, Santos and Blum addressed how the Venezuelan political situation is and their plans to keep this issue in the ears of Washington spokesmen for destabilizing purposes.
While Francisco Santos – who is called “Pachito” by Blum – tells the neo-granadine chancellor that the Venezuelan subject “is a little stopped”, she reaffirms that it is indeed, but the diplomat adds that is prepared to reactivate it by taking European parliamentarians to the Colombian-Venezuelan border, to put again in the “top of mind” the internal affairs of Venezuela in the White House:
“It’s my turn to invent things for them to have Venezuela in the top of mind. That is the task with which I am with Venezuela”, says the Colombian ambassador.
Santos also insists on inviting parliamentarians from Europe: “It is very important to put together a strategic thing with Venezuela starting from our work, with the embassies that the Guaidó government is already setting up there”.
