The historian Luis Britto García said that the Colombian government assumed a hostile stance against Venezuela by issuing threatening statements that point to a possible military intervention in the Caribbean nation.
In a telephone interview given to the Bolivarian Diplomacy program, García said that the New Granada nation is used by the United States as an auxiliary bridge to attack Venezuela with the objective of overthrowing President Nicolás Maduro, who is facing an international humanitarian crisis campaign used as a media matrix to justify the American intervention.
“The situation is tense because there is a geopolitical possibility that the US resolves its conflict with Venezuela using Colombia as a bridge, for it is occupied by seven US bases and has just joined NATO”, he said
Britto García added that there are other geographical and geopolitical elements that contribute to delay Colombia’s relationship with Venezuela, such as the smuggling and the manipulation of the dollar through computer pages that handle a complex exchange game, contributing to economic oligopolies of Venezuela and thus devalue the national currency.
In this sense, the intellectual recalled the statements made by the chancellor of the New Granada nation, María Holguín, who suggested the venezuelan government to increase the prices of subsidized products to eradicate smuggling, which in the opinion of Britto García, this action implies the abandonment of the social policies that the Bolivarian Revolution has implemented and that has placed Venezuela at the forefront of social protection in the continent.
According to the seventy-third session of the General Assembly of the United Nations that takes place in New York, Garcia asserted that the hegemonic powers will try to manipulate it until a humanitarian crisis is declared in Venezuela and thus proceed to the intervention of the South American country.
For his part, the Vice-minister for International Communication of the People’s Power Ministry for Foreign Relations, William Castir, stressed that the UN session that pays tribute to the South African leader Nelson Mandela, should promote significant progress in matter of peace looking for the cessation of economic wars, the unilateral and coercive measures policies and campaigns of aggression against migrants in the world.
