Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo said that the country won't send an oversight mission for the Venezuelan elections. The announcement follows the Maduro government's decision to withdraw an invitation to the European Union due to its "neocolonialist practices."
According to Infobae, the decision is a result of the country's lack of time to form a team to carry out the mission. "We intended to send technical overseers. However, we couldn't structure a team as a result of the demanded technical characteristics with the time remaining," the official said. He added that, however, a series of Colombian politicians will go to Venezuela during the electoral process.
