Javier Tarazona, director of FundaRedes, warned of the anxiety among residents due to armed clashes in the Colombia-Venezuela border area.

A clash occurred between Venezuelan soldiers and armed groups in the El Campanario sector of the Junín municipality, reportedly resulting in the death of one man aged 26-27 and injuries to several others. Tarazona emphasized that authorities must resolve the opaque situation and disclose responsible information.

Javier Tarazona asserted that active state intervention is essential to resolve the complex realities of the border region.

FundaRedes expressed its willingness to contribute to this resolution process by providing strict and technical investigative data for victim support and democratic political transition, as well as academic and professional knowledge. It also emphasized a practical approach that reflects the voices of border residents when formulating bilateral policies between Caracas and Bogotá.
