The tension on the Venezuelan border is maintained and violent skirmishes have begun. For example, on Sunday morning, a group of about 60 armed paramilitaries attacked a border barracks of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) known as La Mulata. The attack was finally repulsed by the Venezuelan guards after a strong exchange of gunfire that lasted almost an hour.

GNB's position is located just 20 meters from the Colombian border and near a hamlet of the municipality of Pedro María Ureña, in the state of Táchira, but especially only 15 minutes from the bridge of Ureña, where the Venezuelan right wing militants burned Saturday trucks with supposed humanitarian aid.

The military maneuver could well be considered part of the strategy of attacks and permanent siege according to which the United States Government, Elliott Abrams, Venezuelan Special Representative for Venezuela, addressed the representatives Bolivarian government a few days after the start of the process. destabilizing and led by the deputy Juan Guaidó.

Around one in the morning, GNB troops began to be attacked from Colombian territory. In the small garrison, there were about 30 soldiers who from inside the facilities responded to the attack with their weapons. The guards did not injure or injure, but it is suspected that some of the badailants were injured by traces of blood discovered at the end of the episode.

According to members of the GNB, the attackers shouted at them more than once to convince them to leave the post and join the Venezuelan forces. "See you, do not lose your life for this government," they shouted. They did not succeed and the fight lasted an hour.

"We do not accept because we are thinking of defending the homeland, we have no other will," said Sgt Jhonatan Caballero Cárdenas. Meanwhile, Sergeant Supervisor Mario Oviedo told TeleSur's cameras that the attackers "were surprised to see that we are firm, that we will never give up, that we will always be vigilant and that we will defend the country" . If necessary, we will give our lives, "he said.

The attack left its mark on the walls of the detachment where we can observe the impact of bullets for military use. The shooting started around one in the morning, while a good part of the troops were sleeping and the same dorms responded to the attack.

In the post, there were about 30 men between men and women.

The position of La Mulata already has experience in the attacks. Last October, a similar attack had already taken place after GNB troops had arrested two paramilitary forces on the Colombian side.

Yesterday, the designated protector of the state of Táchira, Freddy Bernal, said that "we have been repeatedly attacked by the Colombian gang by criminal gangs who have repeatedly attacked our Bolivarian national guard, both on the Simon Bolivar bridge as on the bridge of Santander ".

Bernal accused Colombian President Iván Duque of the attack, saying the paramilitaries "acted under the complicit gaze of the country's army and police".

The pbadive presence of the Colombian armed and security forces during this last weekend is notorious. In the incidents perpetrated by Venezuelan right-wing militants on the bridges that communicate with Venezuela, it was necessary to observe and not act despite the acts of violence that drove the groups that remained on the Colombian side after the government of President Nicolás Maduro. will announce the closing of the border and the break of relations with Colombia.

For example, throughout the day on Sunday, Venezuelan youths prepared Molotov bombs under one of the binational bridges before the pbadive gaze of Colombian troops.
