(CNN Spanish) -  The president of Colombia, Iván Duque, affirmed this Friday that he does not support invasions of Venezuela.

"I do not sponsor or invasions or any kind of tricks. I work head-on, because I am a defender of democracy, ”he said in an interview with a local media outlet, answering a question about accusations by the Venezuelan government of having been behind an operation that would have the objective of overthrowing the questioned President Nicolás Maduro.
