🇨🇴🇻🇪 Cabello: "The attacks against Colombia are the same attacks on Venezuela"

Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello supported Colombian President Gustavo Petro following Donald Trump's accusations, stating that "the attacks on the people of Colombia are also attacks on the people of Venezuela." From his program Con el Mazo Dando, he affirmed that imperialism "has no friends, only interests" and criticized regional governments that — according to him — "ignore the aggressions against Venezuela and Colombia."

Cabello also accused the United States of using the "regime change" discourse to justify its actions in the region and referred to Cardinal Baltazar Porras, whom he accused of wanting to "sabotage" the canonization of José Gregorio Hernández by seeking protagonism from the Vatican.
