Venezuela Regains Control of Monomeros Company in Colombia
On September 19, Gustavo Petro's administration returned control of Monómeros to Nicolás Maduro's government following the signing of an agreement between the two countries.
In 2019, amid a political crisis, the Government of Iván Duque (2018-2022) handed over control of Monómeros to the opposition Juan Guaidó, who had been in "power" for three years.
After retaking guardianship, Maduro's administration denounced that it received this company with a devastated infrastructure.
For this reason, he requested Colombia to initiate an investigation for the robbery of the company Monómeros and also expects the arrest of the citizens linked to that case who are in that nation.
In another message, the official added that the reconstruction and total recovery of the company have already begun to restore commercialization and boost the Colombian agricultural sector.
