I write this article because me being born in the 1980s inside the German territory, living under permanent U.S. occupation & fake governments without any constitution since World War One 1918 & World War Two 1945 ended have found a home in Venezuela since one year.
I adore the Venezuelan culture, I adore the human rights we have here, the respect & freedom everyone here shares with each other, with animals, indigenous tribes & nature.
The Venezuelan culture is totally different to anything that I have ever experienced living in Germany for 25+ years, then Malta, Spain, Catalunya, France, Italy, Greece & Portugal during the past six year.
MYTH / LIE / REUTERS PROPAGANDA
In Reuters news we often read that the current Venezuelan government would be a dictatorship and strongly engaged in drug, gold & diamond trafficking stealing from the indigenous population.
1. TRUTH
Truth is that the rights of indigenous tribes have been strongly improved by the 1999 constitution when Hugo Chavez was voted into government with a huge majority:
His very first decree as president was to order a referendum, which took place on 19 April. The electorate were asked two questions – whether a constituent assembly should be convened, and whether it should follow the mechanisms proposed by the president. 92% of voters approved calling a constituent assembly and 86% approved the electoral system suggested by Chávez.

2. TRUTH
Prior to the creation of the 1999 constitution of Venezuela, legal rights for indigenous peoples were increasingly lagging behind other Latin American countries, which were progressively enshrining a common set of indigenous collective rights in their national constitutions.[13]
Ultimately the 1999 constitutional process produced "the region's most progressive indigenous rights regime".[14] Innovations included Article 125's guarantee of political representation at all levels of government, and Article 124's prohibition on "the registration of patents related to indigenous genetic resources or intellectual property associated with indigenous knowledge."[14] The new constitution followed the example of Colombia in reserving parliamentary seats for indigenous delegates (three in Venezuela's National Assembly), and it was the first Latin American constitution to reserve indigenous seats in state assemblies and municipal councils in districts with indigenous populations.[15]

Thanks for your attention
I am actually worried by the current situation that Donald Trump has put a 15 Million reward on the head of Nicolas Maduro the current President & they are moving troops towards the Venezuelan border & recently U.S. allies attacked a ship inside the Venezuelan territory.
The president himself seems to be worried as he just wrote a letter to the U.S. population, promoting peace & pointing out the illegal sanctions & violent treatment towards Venezuela by the U.S. government officials.
I hope if we get attacked here at least the world should know about what Venezuela is really like and why its different and how bad the western propaganda about it actually is.
