The Maduro regime has ordered the closure of the border zone with the Netherlands Antilles to block humanitarian aid

A regional military chief said on Tuesday he ordered the closure of the Venezuelan border zone with the Netherlands Antilles, from where the Venezuelan opposition is awaiting the arrival of humanitarian aid meeting in Curacao.

With this decision, departures and flights to and from neighboring islands such as Curacao, Aruba and Bonaire, located off the coast of the Falcon State in northwestern Venezuela, are suspended , did he declare. Reuters Vice Admiral Vladimir Quintero.

The manager did not explain the reasons for the closure nor its duration.

The key date is Saturday, February 23 next. That day, the Venezuelan opposition plans to mobilize the aid stored in Colombia to be routed to the oil country.

Last Saturday, Guaidó himself led a volunteer act and said more than 100,000 people are willing to help with the reception and distribution of food and medicine for the people.

However, the determining factor will be how will the army react, so far faithful to the regime of Nicolás Maduro. It is for this reason that Guaidó and other opponents insist that he ask the soldiers to let food and medicine into the country.
