IVÁN DUQUE, FORMER PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA: HIS DEFENSE OF ANTI-NARCOTICS ATTACKS BY THE US, THE FUTURE OF MADURO AND THE 'NEOCOMMUNISM' OF PETRO.AS THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA, I WANT TO EXPRESS MY DEEP CONCERN ABOUT THE RECENT ATTACKS BY THE UNITED STATES AGAINST OUR COUNTRY'S ANTI-NARCOTICS EFFORTS. THESE ATTACKS ARE NOT ONLY A THREAT TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, BUT ALSO TO THE STABILITY OF THE REGION.IT IS ESSENTIAL TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE FIGHT AGAINST DRUG TRAFFICKING IS A GLOBAL ISSUE THAT REQUIRES INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND COORDINATION. THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN A KEY PARTNER IN THIS FIGHT, AND WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER TO DISMANTLE DRUG CARTELS AND REDUCE THE FLOW OF ILLEGAL DRUGS.HOWEVER, THE RECENT ATTACKS BY THE US AGAINST OUR ANTI-NARCOTICS EFFORTS ARE NOT ONLY UNJUSTIFIED, BUT ALSO COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. THEY WILL ONLY SERVE TO STRENGTHEN THE POSITION OF THE DRUG TRAFFICKERS AND UNDERMINE THE EFFORTS OF OUR COUNTRY TO COMBAT DRUG TRAFFICKING.REGARDING THE FUTURE OF NICOLÁS MADURO, I BELIEVE THAT HE IS A DICTATOR WHO HAS LOST ALL LEGITIMACY. HE HAS DESTROYED THE ECONOMY, REPRESSED THE OPPOSITION, AND HAS BECOME A PUPPET OF THE VENEZUELAN MILITARY. THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MUST TAKE A FIRM STANCE AGAINST HIS REGIME AND SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC FORCES IN VENEZUELA.REGARDING THE 'NEOCOMMUNISM' OF PETRO, I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DANGEROUS IDEOLOGY THAT SEEKS TO UNDERMINE THE VALUES OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY. IT IS A FORM OF COMMUNISM THAT IS DISGUISED AS A PROGRESSIVE AND INCLUSIVE IDEOLOGY, BUT IN REALITY, IT IS A THREAT TO THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF OUR SOCIETY.IN CONCLUSION, I BELIEVE THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY'S SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL SECURITY, AND TO REJECT THE ATTACKS BY THE US AGAINST OUR ANTI-NARCOTICS EFFORTS. WE MUST ALSO STAND FIRM AGAINST THE REGIME OF NICOLÁS MADURO AND REJECT THE 'NEOCOMMUNISM' OF PETRO. WE MUST WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD A MORE JUST AND EQUITABLE SOCIETY, BASED ON THE VALUES OF FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS.
