TN in Venezuela: Chavismo ambushed protesters at the border and several injured for repression

The situation in Venezuela is getting worse every day. Incidents that have occurred since the closure of the Venezuelan border with Brazil and Colombia are very serious. After the Nicolás Maduro government blocked the entrance of humanitarian aid on Saturday, international bridges, particularly those linking the city of Cúcuta, became a conflict zone. On Tuesday, Francisco de Paula Santander was the scene of a strong crackdown that killed at least four people in one hour.

Saturday, finally, it was not the "D-Day", as speculated millions of Venezuelans. Although thousands of people – with Juan Guaidó at the helm – have come to the border to coordinate the entry of food and medicine, the military forces that Nicolás Maduro meets succeed at the moment. stop help arrives in Venezuela.

After most incidents occurred on the Simón Bolívar international bridge, conflicts they moved to Francisco de Paula Santander, about 15 kilometers to the north, where control of the Bolivarian National Guard is less. With a team of special envoys, TN recorded every moment of the border.

"We were desperate, one of our comrades fell into the void, many of us were shot and wounded, and here we are to introduce humanitarian aid," said one Venezuelans injured.

Thousands of people are seeking to reopen the border so that the help that many countries have once and foremost achieves once and for all, with the United States in the forefront. Maduro, for all this, remains in the same position that he had from the beginning: he thinks that food is a "rotten gift" that carries the "poison of humiliation".

Some 2,000 Venezuelans, who crossed the Colombian border to participate in the process of entering humanitarian aid, can not return to their country because of the blockade. Without a house and with very little money to buy food, they are in a sort of "limbo". Every hour that pbades, the situation of these people becomes more maddening: Already called the media and plan to make a walk to make visible the problem that they have.
