Colombia will temporarily close its border with Venezuela from 7:00 PM on Saturday, June 20th, to 7:00 AM on Monday, June 22nd. The closure is directly related to the upcoming second round of Colombia’s presidential election. Authorities cite security concerns as the primary reason for the measure, aiming to ensure a fair and orderly voting process. This isn’t the first time Colombia has taken this step during an election cycle; similar closures have occurred in the past. The decision intends to prevent potential disruptions or external influences during the crucial election period. The border closure impacts crossings between the two nations and affects travel for citizens of both countries. Details regarding specific crossing points and potential exceptions have not been widely released.
