Free calls to Venezuela after the earthquake and changes in Colombia
For residents with family in Venezuela, the main telephone operators in Spain have eliminated the cost of communications following the natural disaster in the country. On the political front, the Colombian community faces a change in security strategy in their country of origin with the newly elected government.
If you are a customer of Telefónica, MásOrange, Vodafone Spain, Adamo, DIGI, or Avatel, you can make free calls and send free SMS to Venezuela starting today. The companies have activated this support measure following the double earthquake that shook the north of the South American country, where the official death toll has already risen to 920 people. As part of the humanitarian aid from Spain, CONFER has allocated 30,000 euros through Caritas for those affected.
On the other hand, the president-elect of Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella, has announced a one-month deadline for illegal armed groups to surrender to justice. This measure anticipates a change in the management of the internal conflict and seeks to stabilize security in the country, a relevant factor for Colombian citizens living in Spain who follow their families' situation or are considering return processes.
