With deep concern and condemnation for the wave of violence that the population of the department of Arauca is suffering, the Colombian Association of Oil and Gas (ACP) condemns the attack that occurred in recent hours at the facilities of Parex Resources and against its employees and the community in the urban area of the municipality of Tame.
At the same time, in other places in the department, the Araucanians have been victims of various criminal actions that threaten the life and integrity of the population.
This type of violent acts must be condemned strongly and should not continue to occur, as they put communities at risk and, in the case of the industry, workers, who are mostly locals.
The guild also calls for the competent authorities to act promptly, and for justice to operate quickly to find those responsible for these terrorist acts. Likewise, we invite the Government to implement effective measures that guarantee the Human Rights of all citizens of the department, including the
workers in the oil and gas industry.
