The threats from the Colombian Foreign Minister, Álvaro Leyva, have materialized tonight in Bogotá. According to opposition sources, the former president in charge of Venezuela has been forced to get on a plane bound for the United States. “It’s blackmail,” the same sources assure EL MUNDO.
The siege has tightened against the opposition leader in the last hours, since Leyva declared to journalists in the Colombian Parliament that “if (Guaidó) does not appear, he runs risks because he entered inappropriately and in Colombia we abide by the laws,” shot the Foreign Minister, host of the Conference scheduled for today.
The Colombian executive had already shown his previous aversion against Guaidó, whom the coffee ambassador in Caracas, Armando Benedetti, harshly disqualified with the insults “huevón” and “asshole”.
The Colombian government has got rid of, or at least has tried to, the dark clouds that hovered over its international conference hours before it began in Bogotá. Petro has strengthened its alliance with Maduro, looking for the US to ease the sanctions against the Bolivarian regime, for which it has the full support of Caracas.
For now, Guaidó’s family will remain in Caracas, according to the same sources.
The initial intention of the former president of the National Assembly was to meet with the Venezuelan diaspora in Colombia and also with some of the delegations that will participate in the International Conference.
