The connection between Colombia AND Venezuela will get much more tense. After the international minister of Venezuela accuses his Colombian counterpart of “charlatanism”this saturday Gustavo Petro He despatched a public letter to his counterpart Nicolas Maduro by which he “comprehensively” rejects Venezuela's concept of privatization of the Monómeros firmmanaged by Petrochemicals of Venezuela (Pequiven), positioned in Barranquilla.

“I’m fully towards a privatization of the Monómeros firm positioned in Barranquilla. I’ve already acknowledged it.Dapre de Duque tried madlyMinister Saab repeats it now,” Petro posted.

“Agriculture in Colombia and Venezuela is a cornerstone for the transition from an extractive financial system to a productive system that generates wealth,” the Colombian president added.

In his message, Petro mentions Alex Saab, the supposed leader of Nicolás Maduro accused of cash laundering, who was imprisoned within the US however He was released at the end of last year. within the midst of negotiations with the Venezuelan regime.

The corporate was questioned this 12 months. In early August, after the fraudulent management of the presidential elections, the Venezuelan agrochemical firm primarily based in Colombia, “Monómeros Colombo Venezolanos”, needed to come ahead to reply how a “personal firm” is ruled by home laws and complies. with “procedures and requirements” that guarantee their “enterprise suitability”.

It was in response to alleged capital transfers to Nicolás Maduro's authorities. Diary Colombian of Medellín assured that Monómeros transferred $30 million to Petrochemicals of Venezuela (Pequiven), its father or mother firm, which “is sanctioned by the Workplace of Overseas Belongings Management of the USA Division of the Treasury, so it’s forbidden for her to have the ability to obtain the sort of earnings.

“We reject any type of data that seeks to query our efforts, seriousness and social accountability,” the corporate stated. The president, Gustavo Petro, stated it was his responsibility to disclaim the “monster of slander” surrounding the Monómeros media case, recalling that in the federal government of Iván Duque he handed over the administration of the corporate to Juan Guaido after which he handed it again to Pequiven, who capitalized and “thereby restarted the operation of shopping for free urea and with that we managed to cease the expansion of meals”.

The battle over Monómeros comes after a diplomatic transition as a result of elections in Venezuela. On Thursday, Venezuela's international minister, Yván Gil, demanded that his Bogota counterpart, Luis Gilberto Murillo, cease “ready made crap from the north”after the Colombian official assured that his nation promotes “transparency and democratic legitimacy”, relating to the controversial re-election of Nicolás Maduro.

“We don’t tolerate another phrase for the homeland of (Simón) Bolívar, we’ll remorse the implications, we’ve already warned you. Cease the charlatan ready by the North now,” Gil stated in a message revealed in telegram.

On the identical time, he asserted that Murillo has turned Colombian diplomacy into “microphone diplomacy.” “Sufficient speaking about Venezuela, from right here we are able to educate the world about actual democracy,” he added.

The day earlier than, the chancellor from Colombia stated: “We are going to proceed to advertise transparency and democratic legitimacy, all the time with a deal with non-interference within the inside affairs of different nations.”

Respectfully and attentively, I wish to specific my opposition to the choice of the Minister of Trade and Nationwide Manufacturing of Venezuela, Alex Nain Saab Morán, to promote and privatize the corporate Monómeros.

For greater than 5 many years, the general public firm Monómeros has benefited Colombian and Venezuelan farmers via the manufacturing and sale, at a good value, of agricultural inputs.

At the moment, the commercialization of Urea de Monómeros ensures the productiveness of their lands to tens of millions of Venezuelan and Colombian households. Likewise, it gives them with sufficient earnings to guide a good life.

Privatization and sale of monomers will imply a rise in the price of main agricultural merchandise in our nations. Moreover, this can drive our villagers to rely on international merchandise and the worth of agricultural inputs within the worldwide market.

There isn’t a doubt that this determination might condemn tens of millions of people that symbolize the premise of meals sovereignty in our area to poverty and starvation.

For that reason, I wish to invite you to rethink the privatization of the corporate that has ensured and might proceed to help tens of millions of households in our nations.
