The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, highlighted on Monday the demand of the country's indigenous peoples since the arrival of Commander Hugo Chávez, who recognized their rights in the Constitution of the Republic.

During the usual weekly press conference of the red awning, Cabello recalled that indigenous communities are not represented in the Magna Carta of 1961, “but if you look for it in the Constitution of 99 there is a whole space dedicated to the recognition of native peoples. An initiative of Commander Hugo Chávez”.

In this regard, he stressed that “today our original peoples have recognition. They choose their deputies to the Assembly here by their methods, their councilors by their methods. Here we have a governor and here is the Minister, the indigenous peoples are here.”

“Our native peoples know that there is a before and after Hugo Chávez. They're organized, really organized. But they are also united in a great force. Even united beyond what the Revolution is,” said Cabello.
