The vice-president also linked drug trafficking to Maduro’s regime, as President Iván Duque himself has repeatedly denounced, claiming that this illegal economy has entered this country “because deliberately the Chávez regime, and now the Maduro dictatorship, have been complacent and complicit in drug trafficking, because they are part of this illegal activity ”.

Finally, Ramírez affirmed that there is an alliance between Maduro, Diosdado Cabello and the dissidents of the FARC, Iván Márquez and Jesús Santrich, members of the so-called “Narcotalia”. “We are living in a gangster war, as President Duque said”, said the Colombian vice-president.

The socialist leader said the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (Fanb) would continue to give an “energetic response” to Apure’s conflict with dissident guerrillas from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc).

“It has been clear and forceful and will continue to be so, a special brigade has been created to conduct special operations in the area with all the necessary equipment to combat these paramilitary groups,” Cabello underlined in his program “Con el malzo give”.

Cabello has ignored multiple complaints against the Venezuelan military that keep the people in a constant state of anxiety after intimidating and threatening them as the guerrillas continue to do their thing in the town of La Victoria.

In his statements, the official pointed out that Colombia had given up its limits with Venezuela and even called the neighboring nation a“Narco-state”.
