O governador do estado de Táchira, na Venezuela, o chavista Freddy Bernal, anunciou nesta segunda-feira, 13, a reabertura da fronteira terrestre com a Colômbia, após o fechamento na última sexta-feira devido, conforme disse, a informações de uma suposta “conspiração internacional”.
O fechamento da passagem entre os dois países aconteceu em paralelo à cerimônia da questionada posse presidencial, na qual Nicolás Maduro iniciou um terceiro mandato de seis anos no poder, apesar das denúncias de “ilegitimidade”.
“A fronteira, mais uma vez, aberta. O estado e o país em total paz e tranquilidade, em perfeita fusão cívica, militar, policial”, declarou Bernal em um vídeo divulgado no Instagram, a partir de um posto de migração entre os dois países.
O governador disse que o país está em “paz”, e rejeitou o pedido do ex-presidente colombiano Álvaro Uribe de uma “intervenção militar” na Venezuela para tirar Maduro do poder, considerando que o vencedor das eleições foi o líder opositor Edmundo González Urrutia.
“O país em paz, que é o que todos nós queremos, paz para a Venezuela, paz para a Colômbia, chega de violência, chega de ameaças da Colômbia, chega de ameaças do nefasto Álvaro Uribe inventando invasões, ninguém quer guerra aqui, ninguém quer invasões aqui”, acrescentou.
Na sexta-feira passada, quando Bernal anunciou o fechamento da fronteira, ele afirmou que tinha “controle absoluto” na região, razão pela qual se comprometeu a assegurar, “em qualquer circunstância, a tranquilidade e a paz de todo o povo de Táchira”.
De acordo com a agência de migração da Colômbia, a normalidade reinou nos últimos dias nos principais postos de fronteira entre o país e a Venezuela.
Colômbia e Venezuela compartilham uma fronteira de 2.219 quilômetros, onde vivem cerca de 12 milhões de pessoas.
