José Vielma Mora, the ruling party governor of the state of Táchira, southwest Venezuela, has described "as an excess" the military overfly and militarization of San Cristóbal, the capital city of Táchira state, to deter demonstrations taking place in the region in recent days. "I got angry because of the military planes overflying Táchira; it was an unacceptable excess," Mora said in an interview with radio news station ONDA.

"I am not part of the regime; I was elected by the people of Táchira," the governor pointed out.

With reference to political detainees, Vielma Mora commented he was "not in favor of the imprisonment of former police chief Iván Simonovis and opposition leader Leopoldo López," and called for their release.

Furthermore, the governor also admitted that food supply in the region is harmed by the foreign exchange distortions.
