On Wednesday, Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro announced that his country will host “the Congress of the Indigenous Movement’s New Era” in Nov. 12.
During a ceremony held at the Miraflores palace, the Bolivarian leader reported that said congress will formulate a “work plan” to promote actions in favor of the indigenous peoples.
“We have to hand over Indigenous lands to continue supporting food production, the dissemination of native culture, the in-depth education of our Indigenous children and youth, technological development, and ancestral knowledge,” Maduro said.
Proposed by the United Indigenous Movement of Venezuela (MIUVEN), the Indigenous Congress will invite delegations from Central American countries, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

Venezuela Rejects Decision of US Judge on Sale of CITGO Shares
Venezuela rejected the decision of the U.S. Judge Leonard Stark who authorized the auction schedule for the shares of CITGO, a U.S.-based subsidiary of the state-owned Petroleum of Venezuela (PDVSA).
“The Venezuelan State categorically rejects this reckless decision, tainted with arbitrariness and veiled bias,” the Ali Rodriguez Araque Presidential Commission (ARAPC), which was formed in 2020 to restructure the oil industry, said in a statement.
On Tuesday, Judge Stark authorized PDV Holding to sell CITGO shares so that it can compensate the Canadian-based Crystallex International Corporation, which alleges that Venezuela nationalized the Las Cristinas gold mine in 2008.
The ARAPC pointed out that Stark’s ruling is part of the actions that Washington is taking against the Bolivarian nation. These judicial actions seek a “blatant and indiscriminate plunder of the assets of the Venezuelan people.”
