Presidential candidate in diplomatic row with Ecuador and Venezuela
Historically, Colombia-Venezuela bilateral relations have not been
the best; but since 2005 tensions have escalated to extraordinary levels, with
bellicose rhetoric becoming increasingly more frequent. What is peculiar
about the latest confrontation is that two elected officials, Venezuela's Hugo
Chávez and Ecuador's Rafael Correa, decided to respond to the comments made by a
presidential hopeful - someone who at the moment has no position in the
government - warning that he could create a future military conflict.
