Duque calls for isolating Venezuela 'regime'
Colombia鈥檚 president, Ivan Duque, has said all the diplomatic approaches necessary should be used to 鈥渋solate the regime鈥� in Venezuela and ask for free elections.
More than 800,000 Venezuelan citizens are estimated to have fled to Colombia in the past two years.
鈥淭he most important thing at this moment is that if the dictatorship does not end, the migration will not stop,鈥� he told 91热爆 Hardtalk鈥檚 Stephen Sackur.
Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro won re-election to another six-year term, earlier this year, but the vote was marred by an opposition boycott and claims of vote-rigging. There has since been an international backlash against his re-election.
