Colombia demanded respect for Venezuela on Friday after what it considered "insults" by socialist President Nicolás Maduro against President Iván Duque, whom he referred to as "a devil" who hates and conspires against the oil country. It is the latest incident between the governments of Bogotá and Caracas that maintain tense relations, aggravated by the migration to Colombia of thousands of Venezuelans fleeing the economic and social crisis derived from Maduro's policies.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on behalf of the Government of Colombia, categorically rejects the statements made by the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, in which he insults and denigrates Colombia, the Government and the President of the Republic, Dr. Iván Duque ", affirmed a statement from the Foreign Ministry. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers these statements as an offense to the dignity of the office of President of the Republic of Colombia, to that of the Government it represents, and to the Colombian people who elected it, for which it demands respect from the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, "he added.

Maduro accused Duque on Thursday of leading a dangerous government that combines hatred and inexperience. "He (Duke) has the face of an angel, you see him and he looks like an angel (...) but he is a devil who hates Venezuela and is conspiring daily against our country, against our Bolivarian National Armed Forces," the Venezuelan president said. To the verbal statements of Maduro and other officials of his government against Colombia and its authorities, alleged violations of its territorial sovereignty and airspace reported by Bogota but denied by Caracas have been added.
