Presidents Iván Duque and Sebastián Piñera shared the stage in Cúcuta, on the occasion of the concert Venezuela Aid Live, which brought together hundreds of thousands of people at the border, to promote the entry of humanitarian aid into Venezuela.
"I keep asking myself how can a person have so much ambition to be willing to cause so much suffering to his people for the sole desire to cling to a power that does not belong to him, "said the Chilean leader about the chauvinist leader, Nicolás Maduro.
"There can be nothing more cruel than a government that denies it the means of humanitarian aid it so badly needs." "Maduro is part of the problem and not the solution," concluded his speech.
The Chilean participated with his Colombian counterpart and Paraguayan Mario Abdo Benítez, from a act in which they provided humanitarian aid to venezuela, which the government of Nicolás Maduro is determined to prevent. The presidents' intervention took place during a break from the concert for freedom in Venezuela and the public could see them on the screen that is on the scene.
For his part, Colombian President Iván Duque recalled the efforts of the Lima group to press for a peaceful and democratic exit from Venezuela. He also acknowledged that it was essential "to have extended this strength of recognition of democracy to the countries of Europe and Asia".
His brief message was addressed to the Venezuelan army: "Let this humanitarian aid happen, because obstruction is a crime against humanity."
Duque in turn asked that the military forces know that "there is a legitimate national badembly, that there is a president to deal with this new constitutional order".
A little earlier, the Colombian president had shared on his Twitter account images showing his arrival in the city of Cúcuta with representatives of several international delegations, including the Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro.
"With much hope, we arrived in Cúcuta on this great day that brings together several nations, world leaders, businessmen, artists and volunteers, to provide more than 500 tons of humanitarian aid to our Venezuelan brothers, "wrote Duque.
Friday, shortly after arriving in Cúcuta, Mario Abdo Benitez said Venezuela was about to free itself from Nicolas Maduro's "tyranny" and he hopes that the restoration of democracy and freedom "in this country will soon be celebrated.
"We have just ratified our commitment of solidarity with the Venezuelan people, with this people who will remain in history, the resistance of the Venezuelan people to tyranny (…) and that today we are approaching the end that we all hope to see Venezuela released, "said the head of state of Paraguay.
On Friday, a new shipment of humanitarian aid came from the United States, including rice to feed about 2,000 people for a month and medical supplies such as: wheelchairs, crutches, bandages and gloves to examine; support the provision of basic health services to Venezuelans.
The government of Nicolás Maduro, who refuses to give up power, ensures that humanitarian aid is the excuse for a foreign invasion of Venezuela.
