The appeal introduced by the Venezuelan government to recover the gold deposited in the Bank of England was rejected this Friday by judges Sarah Falk, Stephen Males and Stephen Phillips of the London court of appeals.

“The Venezuelan gold reserves that have been claimed amount to a value of US$ 1,950 million (about 1,780 million euros), in addition to another US$ 120 million (109 million euros) more coming from an exchange with the German entity Deutsche Bank”.

The Central Bank of Venezuela filed the appeal to request the release and return of the gold before Juan Guaidó was removed as the alleged “interim president” of the country.

The British Commercial Court has not yet made a decision on this new political and economic reality in Venezuela. For their part, authorities in the South American country could be preparing a subsequent appeal in order to recover the gold retained in the Bank of England.

The process of lawsuits, appeals and other complications in the case of the gold that was awarded at the time to Guaidó has taken three years.

The Government of Venezuela and the Unitary Platform will begin on October 15 the fourth round of the dialogue that they carry out in Mexico City, according to the delegation of the Venezuelan Executive.

Deputy Génesis Garveth, a member of the government team in the negotiations, confirmed to the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, the date on which the dialogue that began in August under the mediation of Norway and with the support of Mexico will resume.

The opposition bloc and the Maduro Executive closed their third round of negotiations on September 27 with an agreement to implement consultation mechanisms with national and international political actors, and with approaches on “social, economic and political” issues.

In the previous rounds, the parties reached partial agreements to seek mechanisms for access to international funds for humanitarian aid or to reaffirm the sovereignty of Venezuela, all in accordance with the norms that they established in the ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ that they signed at the beginning of the dialogue in Mexico City.

Among the main points of the meetings are the institutional framework, the reform of the judicial system, the mechanisms to help the national economy or social issues to solve the crisis in the country.

This new Venezuelan dialogue has the mediation of Norway and the support of Mexico as a neutral territory for the negotiations. On everyone’s mind are the regional and local elections on November 21, in which for the first time in three years the Unitary Platform has offered to participate, which once again recovers the common flag of the Democratic Unity Table (MUD).

The Government of Venezuela and the opposition confirmed this Sunday that they held “constructive meetings” over the weekend within the framework of a dialogue process that began last Friday and announced its continuation for next September 3.

In a statement shared by the Norwegian Foreign Ministry as the facilitating country of these meetings, both parties wanted to show “the follow-up” of the memorandum of understanding that they signed at a public event at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico, the country where they have been held out these encounters.

“Following up on the memorandum of understanding signed on August 13 in Mexico City, the Government of Venezuela and the Unitary Platform, we confirm that we have held constructive meetings with the facilitation of the Kingdom of Norway on August 14 and 15“, they indicated.

Likewise, they have referred to the point of this memorandum on “the importance of inclusion” in the dialogue, for which they have reported that they have discussed “the establishment of a consultation mechanism with political and social actors“.

On the other hand, they reiterated “their commitment” to the method established in the document as well as with “the utmost caution regarding the reservation and comments” of the process, for which they have communicated that, in light of this, they will be “prudent and concise.”

The memorandum of understanding establishes that the dialogue and negotiation process will be based on several points, among which the lifting of sanctions and the restoration of rights, the electoral guarantee, political coexistence, the renunciation of violence and the protection of the economy stand out.

The dialogues are led by the Government of the president, Nicolás Maduro, and the Unitary Platform, made up of four opposition parties, including Primero Justicia, led by Henrique Capriles; and Voluntad Popular, by Leopoldo López and Juan Guaidó.

The Paraguayan government denied having reached an agreement with the Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó on an outstanding debt of 290 million dollars, contracted for the purchase of oil in 2004, in response to an article by the American The Washington Post on alleged corruption.

«The authority with which we speak (Guaidó) does not exercise territorial control. So, we cannot talk about an agreement. (Nicolás) Maduro is the one who has territorial control of Venezuela, “Ernesto Villamayor, spokesman for President Mario Abdo Benítez, said at a press conference.

The Paraguayan official came up against an investigation by the Washington Post in which he refers to an alleged plan to allocate a commission of 26 million dollars to lawyers managing an eventual agreement between Paraguay and the interim presidency of Guaidó, which would include a reduction of the 50% of the debt.

«I am not aware of any irregular maneuvering around this issue. Whether they pay their attorneys too much or too little, it’s their problem. Whether or not it is convenient for them to make a 50% reduction is their problem, “he remarked.

For several analysts and the media, the statement by the Chief of Staff of the Presidency, Juan Ernesto Villamayor, is a confirmation that Guaidó’s emissaries did offer Paraguay to reduce its oil debt.
