Dark Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Migration Colombia confirmed that Venezuelan citizen Carlos Manuel Pino García, who has lived in the country for more than 19 years, will be expelled from the country in the next few hours and will not be able to return to Colombian territory in the next 10 years. "Migration Colombia, in exercise of the functions that have been conferred by the Colombian State and protecting national sovereignty, has been advancing the process of expulsion from the national territory of the Venezuelan citizen Carlos Manuel Pino García," Migración reported. According to the entity, the measure against Pino García is based on article 2.2.1.13.2.2 of Decree 1067 of 2015, which establishes that "foreigners may be expelled in the judgment of the migration authority, carry out activities that attempt against the National security...". The Venezuelan citizen, according to Migración Colombia, was arrested in the afternoon of this Wednesday in Bogota and led by officials from the entity to a temporary room, where he remains waiting for the expulsion measure to be carried out. According to the authorities, the Venezuelan citizen "does not enjoy diplomatic immunity, since he is not accredited as such before the Colombian government," and his expulsion will take place within the next few hours, "once his delivery is made according to the protocols established for that purpose. " Pino García will be delivered in the next few hours to the Administrative Service of Identification, Migration and Immigration (Saime), of Venezuela and will not be able to enter the Colombian territory for a period of ten years as of the date and later it will require a visa for its entry. The arrest of Carlos Manuel Pino García generated discomfort in Colombia Humana, led by Senator Gustavo Petro, who considered the measure of the Colombian government as "an evident systematic persecution" against his movement. "The arrest of the Venezuelan diplomat, Carlos Pino, husband of Colombian Senator Gloria Flórez, Andean exparlamentaria, initiates the games of fire," the senator said through his Twitter account, where he also wrote that the government is separating a family. "Hey @IvanDuque, then you decide to separate Gloria Flórez and her son, both Colombian citizens, from her husband and father, because she is a Venezuelan citizen, and has been living in Colombia for 19 years, only because Gloria is the senator of Colombia Humana?" Petro questioned. Senator Iván Cepeda called for "the security of human rights defender and leader of Colombia Humana, Gloria Flórez, whose husband Carlos Pino was expelled from the country today. Gloria has denounced that she and her family have been victims of persecution and follow-up. " 1
