““Colombia expresses its concern over the recent events that occurred on the occasion of the registration of some presidential candidacies, particularly in relation to the difficulties faced by majority sectors of the opposition, such as the Unitary Democratic Platform (PUD) and the Vente Venezuela Movement, among others”, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement.
