Given these statements, Plasencia pointed out that "it is not surprising that Mr. Duque and the Colombian government continue to try to spread their false positives throughout the world, which seem to be one of the specialties of misgovernment, after the production and trafficking of drugs, that continue to grow every year." In this line, the Venezuelan foreign minister pointed out that Duque seeks to "blame Venezuela" for the strong violence that is recorded in the territory of New Granada, especially when it was the Colombian president himself who decided not to comply with the Peace Agreements, signed by his predecessor, Juan Manuel Santos; and the former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC-EP), after four years of conversation in Havana, Cuba.

He stressed that the armed conflict that the country has been experiencing for more than 70 years forces "10 million (Colombians) to live in permanent internal displacement due to violence and misgovernment"; and has caused Venezuela to receive more than six million Colombians fleeing violence.
