The yellow awning coordinator said that the Venezuelan government mobilizes only 15 thousand troops to the border conflict when dealing with paramilitaries, but when the subject is related to the President guerrillas or drug traffickers no action is taken
Caracas, November 8, 2009. The national coordinator of Primero Justicia, Julio Borges, referred to the conflict generated between Venezuela and Colombia, as a result of personal agendas imposed by the Presidents of both nations.
For Borges, Venezuela and Colombia share more than a boundary or a historical connection, too trade ties are increasing opportunities to generate decent jobs and the possibility of progress for thousands of Venezuelans and Colombians.
In this sense, the coach said the figures used by the Venezuelan Economic Integration Chamber Colombiana (CAVECOL), which stresses that the trade between the two countries reached in 2008, the record of U.S. $ 7,300 million , while the forecast for total 2009 is located in a 4.700millones, which translates into 35% achieved in the previous year.
figures indicate declines in recent months to levels below half that recorded a year ago, something insólito tomando en cuenta que Colombia es nuestro socio más cercano, indicó.
También manifestó que de mantenerse el conflicto, y según estimaciones de CAVECOL, se corre el riesgo de perder unos 500 mil empleos en el país, como si no fuesen suficientes los 6 millones de venezolanos entre desempleados y los que están resolviéndose en la economía informal.
Otras de las implicaciones económicas del conflicto colombo-venezolano, son las emitidas por las Cámaras empresariales de la frontera, las cuales indican que de darse un cierre completo podría significar perdidas económicas en el orden de 4 millones de dólares diarios.
Borges también recordó que this situation has collapsed gas interconnection, scheduled to address the gas shortage in the West, while negotiations are advancing from the East supplies.
Amid the energy crisis we are experiencing in the country, this conflict now close the possibilities of a possible power interconnection could help us to improve the situation at this juncture, he added.
But the risks may be more significant, because according to Borges, the poly pipeline project that would allow us a direct outlet to the Pacific for Venezuelan oil, are also totally in the air.
Unfortunately, the issue of violence has marked the recent history of our border. Only by working together the two countries can effectively address this scourge, to end once and with the constant threat of rebel groups, both paramilitaries and guerrillas, who are exactly the same with different names, he said.
The yellow awning leader said that the only solution to this serious political crisis between Venezuela and Colombia is through dialogue, working together, and leaving behind the argument that some are good and some are bad, that some are a historical aberration and the others are American heroes.
also said Borges as a strategy to address the conflict between the two nations, the mediation of Brazilian President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, it could lead to solving the problem by consensus, so we can all emerge victorious.
From here we will continue pushing for to put aside personal agendas and think first about people, because justice is put first in Venezuela, justice is an end to this ongoing conflict where our people are paying the piper
