Twenty years after the fall of the infamous Berlin Wall, the world, particularly Latin America, see how each day is closer to the creation of another such shameful walls that divide peoples brothers, humiliate her and will create absurd barriers that never should have existed.
Step by step, Chavez has been creating a strong wall between our sister countries, which is not yet concrete, brick or stone, it is hatred, insults and threats. We know that sometimes are more severe and painful the walls created with words that set in concrete.
occasional border closures that have been happening since the beginning of the Chavez government in Venezuela, today it has escalated to an almost complete paralysis of movement between the two nations. The situation in Colombia-Venezuela border, before flowing and mutual benefit, now has become a tinderbox, that can turn any match. There Daily news and pictures of families crossing from side to side of the border by bushes, jumping fences, or crossing the river on foot. Guarded by armed guards still do not dare to shoot, but to follow such things, not delay in doing so. "And then what? Blood and bullet between brothers! Is this what Chavez wants? It is a false nationalism which is promoting this astute student of Fidel Castro. Chavez wants with this constant quarrel against Colombia and Colombians, build a bandage over the eyes of Venezuelans from seeing what is happening in their own country.
To not see how every day lose more rights and President closes upon them a Soviet-style fence, the model of the communist revolution that entire nations remained subdued and divided Berlin, people and families with this ominous wall.
