On October 22, the Presidential Summit on Migration will take place in Chiapas, Mexico, to which the leaders and foreign ministers of Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Cuba, Costa Rica and Panama.

The confirmation of the event was made this Monday by the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who indicated that the representatives of the 11 nations will discuss the delicate issue of migration in the region.

AMLO noted during his morning press conference: “I am inviting you to meet in Palenque, Chiapas. “I am inviting the presidents of Ecuador, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, the prime minister of Belize, Guatemala, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, Costa Rica and Panama.”

Currently, the issue of migration is on the table in countries such as Venezuela, the United States, Guatemala, Panama, among others, either because their own nationals are leaving the country or because it represents the escape route to other territories.

The flow of migrants through the Darien jungle towards the United States, or through Nicaragua and Panama, has generated concern in all governments involved.

“We are going to try, among ourselves, to [establish] a good neighborly agreement against poverty, for the well-being of our people so that we can address the problem of migration. What is happening with migrants hurts us a lot,” said the president of Mexico.

Migrants are victims of assaults, sexual assaults, robbery. They even die in accidents during transportation. This is a reality that will be analyzed at the summit on October 22 by the countries from which families leave every day in search of a better life.

The Venezuelan opposition has announced the primary elections for next October 22 in which it aspires to elect a single candidate with whom to run in the future presidential elections, in an attempt to gain strength against the ruling party.

The National Primary Commission will be in charge of organizing this appointment. Its president, Jesús María Casal, has explained in a public act that the body will work for the sake of the reliability of the entire process, supported by opposition leaders such as Juan Guaidó or Henrique Capriles.

Casal aspires to obtain “reinforced legitimacy” based on “the common illusion of political change,” according to statements released by the commission itself. Among the issues that still need to be clarified is whether there will be any kind of collaboration with institutions such as the National Electoral Council, controlled by the government of Nicolás Maduro.

Guaidó has celebrated on Twitter the announcement of the date “to reunify the country and for hope to be reborn in Venezuela.” For his part, Capriles has also given his “support” to the Commission’s announcement on social networks, in which he sees “an important step for the construction of a solid political alternative that reaches to represent the interests of the majority of Venezuelans. “We believe that the change that our people long for is possible in 2024,” he said.

The main opposition groups in Venezuela refused to participate in the last elections due to the lack of democratic guarantees, but they have set themselves the goal of recovering the lost momentum with a view to future processes, still to be specified in the calendar.
