Expulsion of the self-proclaimed president of Venezuela from Colombia

The self-proclaimed president of Venezuela, who arrived improperly in Colombia, was forced to leave the country by order of Colombian government officials. According to AAA, representatives of the Colombian government ordered Juan Guaidó, the former leader of the Venezuelan opposition and self-proclaimed president of Venezuela, who entered Colombia illegally, to leave the country.

In 2019, 39-year-old Juan Guaidó took over as president of the National Assembly of Venezuela. In the same year, after the resumption of the presidency of Nicolás Maduro, he introduced himself as the interim president of Venezuela. According to information, Guaidó is also prohibited from making any public comments in Colombia and must move from Bogota (Colombia's capital) to the United States.

The news came as Guaidó announced earlier on Monday that he had left Venezuela and now lives in Colombia. However, following Guaidó's statements, the Colombian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that Bogota had not invited the political figure and did not expect his presence. Colombian Affairs Alvaro Leyva also explained that Guaidó entered the country improperly. A few months ago, opponents of the Venezuelan government dissolved their self-proclaimed interim government and ended the leadership of Juan Guaidó, the favorite of the Americans. In 2019, American officials supported Guaidó and announced that they would recognize him the President of Venezuela.
