American filmmaker Oliver Stone has criticized Colombia’s ruling party, claiming the country is more dangerous than Venezuela and that he would be assassinated if he were a citizen there.
The acclaimed director compared himself to the country’s social leaders, who are facing a surge of violence, saying that speaking out against the government can get people killed.
He also said ex-president Alvaro Uribe and his Democratic Center party, which holds the majority in congress, is behind the uptick in violence in Colombia.
“A person like myself who would speak out would be killed in Colombia – not in Venezuela,” the director told a press conference at the SmartFilms cinema festival in the capital, Bogota.
