Venezuela demands apology over Colombia VP's 'xenophobic' remarks

CARACAS, Jan 27 (Reuters) Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's government demanded an apology from Colombia on Friday for "xenophobic" remarks by its vice president, who used a derogatory term for Venezuelans while vowing foreigners would not benefit from social programs.
Relations between the South American neighbors have been tense for decades, in part because waves of Colombians have sought refuge from five decades of civil war through emigration to Venezuela.
That trend has started to reverse in the last few years as a peace deal has ended Colombia's civil war and Venezuela's economic crisis has led many to emigrate.
