Colombia closes border and INTT announces vehicle documentation operations
Colombia has ordered the temporary closure of its borders with Venezuela due to its upcoming elections. Meanwhile, Venezuelan authorities are announcing special sessions for vehicle documentation in four states and evaluating the future of mining areas following the death of a major criminal leader.
The Government of Colombia announced the closure of all its land and river border crossings with Venezuela as part of the so-called "2026 Democracy Plan." This measure seeks to ensure security during the election day in the neighboring country. The closure directly affects the movement of people and goods that usually cross the international bridges between both nations.
In the field of national security, there is uncertainty regarding the control of mining areas in southern Venezuela following the confirmed death of alias 'Niño Guerrero', one of South America's most wanted criminal leaders. His death occurred after a coordinated military deployment between the United States and Venezuela, raising questions about the future of activity in these strategic regions and the possible reorganization of the groups operating there.
For drivers, the National Institute of Land Transportation (INTT) will carry out special operations for vehicle procedures from June 22 to 26. These sessions will take place in the states of Zulia, Yaracuy, Cojedes, and Bolívar, allowing citizens to manage their vehicle documents directly in their localities.
Regarding economic matters, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez stated that the way to stimulate savings in the country is through the strengthening of the communal economy and entrepreneurship. According to the official, these sectors are fundamental for national productive development. On the other hand, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry urged the international community to welcome refugees and respect their dignity, in a message issued for World Refugee Day.
