For the ‘pressure of citizens (because) there is a need latent throughout the country,’ said Guaidó before journalists when asked about the measure that Chavismo announced yesterday and that came into force today, when the pedestrian crossing was reactivated between the Venezuelan state of Táchira and the Colombian Norte de Santander.

Guaidó recalled that as the economic crisis deepened in the country, more Venezuelans began to cross that border daily to look for food and medicines that are scarce in Venezuela or to emigrate.

On the other hand, when asked about the possibility of a new meeting in Norway with representatives of the so-called Bolivarian Revolution to advance in the construction of a political dialogue, he reiterated that these talks will be resumed to the extent that it is possible for Maduro to leave the country. power.

“When there is a new meeting in Oslo, it is because we will be closer to the cessation of usurpation, the transitional government and free elections. When we are ready to take a step in that direction and the regime is, well, there will be a new meeting, “he said.

Venezuela is going through an escalation of political tension since last January, when Maduro swore a new term of six years after winning elections that were branded as fraudulent by the opposition and are not recognized by much of the international community.
