00:00:17It's time for news on Telesur, welcome, I'm Luis Francisco Blandón in Caracas,
00:00:21Venezuela, immediately with headlines from the
00:00:23day.
00:00:25The 2026 Food Forum begins in Rome, Latin American countries
00:00:28ask for... greater innovation to implement
00:00:32multilateralism against
00:00:33hunger.
00:00:36The president of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum denounces a plan against
00:00:39her country's government after exhibiting the war campaign of
00:00:43Cerimedo and the right wing with
00:00:45bot farms.
00:00:49Social movements in Guatemala reject the rise in fuel prices
00:00:53and the increase in
00:00:54poverty.
00:01:02the country. Care continues after the
00:01:05Let's begin, various Caribbean and Latin American countries urged the
00:01:08United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO,
00:01:11for greater
00:01:15international cooperation, technological innovation and
00:01:17financing to transform agrifood systems and combat
00:01:21hunger and malnutrition. During the 2026 World Food Forum held in
00:01:24Rome, Latin American
00:01:27and Caribbean representatives agreed that food
00:01:30security is essential for development and equal
00:01:33opportunities. Various countries denounced that the
00:01:37impacts of armed conflicts globally and the
00:01:40climate crisis directly affect the increase in hunger
00:01:44and lack of production, generating incalculable
00:01:47consequences in developing territories. The
00:01:50representatives also agreed that there should be greater
00:01:54participation of multilateralism to convert
00:01:56common challenges into areas for
00:02:00joint action.
00:02:08Forests are disappearing, biodiversity is
00:02:12under pressure, water
00:02:14too, and too many rural economies
00:02:18are facing decreasing agricultural
00:02:21productivity and have difficulties supporting their
00:02:25young people, which is why innovation and acceleration are more
00:02:28important today than ever before.
00:02:32We have to do more and better on a large
00:02:34scale, we need innovation,
00:02:37technology, also in how we think
00:02:41and in how we design and in how we work
00:02:44together, that's exactly
00:02:47what the World Food Forum was built for.
00:02:51regulated interest rates, as well as the protection of Cuba, one of the founding countries of the FAO in 1945
00:02:55and with official representation on the island since
00:02:571978, faces a critical
00:03:02recovery is beginning to food situation caused by the economic strangulation and the blockade by the
00:03:05he said, Cerimedo, to remember United States, categorized by the country as a policy of collective
00:03:08punishment. We tell you about this food situation in Cuba in
00:03:112026.
00:03:16Despite having fertile land, favorable climate, access to the sea
00:03:19to feed its 9 million inhabitants, Cuba is unable to deploy its
00:03:23productive capacity due to the severe economic blockade imposed by the United
00:03:26States, a paradox that condemns the country to depend on the foreign
00:03:30market under highly
00:03:33of the Palestinian community unfavorable conditions. The US blockade directly attacks the
00:03:35heart of the Cuban agricultural productive apparatus. Restrictions
00:03:38and sanctions prevent the purchase and entry of essential inputs such as
00:03:42fertilizers, herbicides, high-quality seeds, raw materials, and
00:03:46machinery. Without these fundamental resources, the consequences have been
00:03:49devastating. Agricultural crops have suffered a historic deterioration in their
00:03:53yields of almost 40%. Pork
00:03:56activity faces a difficult situation due to the lack of foreign currency to import
00:04:00corn and soy, indispensable components for preparing
00:04:03national feed. The impossibility of acquiring vaccines and drugs to
00:04:07guarantee avian health has caused high mortality
00:04:10rates in birds and a severe deficit in egg
00:04:14production. Extraterritorial sanctions make it difficult for
00:04:16international shipping companies to accept transporting goods to
00:04:20Cuban ports, which leads to the constant cancellation of contracts
00:04:24and a drastic increase in freight costs. Added to this is the
00:04:27fuel crisis, aggravated by the direct
00:04:31pressure from the United States on oil-supplying countries. Faced with this
00:04:34situation, organizations and authorities in the
00:04:37country denounce that the accumulation of these punitive
00:04:41measures deliberately seeks to suffocate the Cuban
00:04:44economy, deteriorating food security and the nutrition of
00:04:47families, with a special impact on children and
00:04:50the elderly. The Cuban crisis thus
00:04:54Izalco commemorate Indigenous reaches the World Food Forum as an urgent call to the international
00:04:56community.
00:04:59And from. During the forum, the president of Cuba Miguel Díaz Canel urged the
00:05:05Caracas, Venezuela, to commemorate Indigenous make themselves heard and influence international community to maintain greater ethical and political responsibility by highlighting that the
00:05:08impacts of armed conflicts and climate change directly
00:05:12affect developing countries that suffer from food
00:05:15insecurity.
00:05:18We live in a world crossed by serious global problems, which
00:05:22have, however, unequal impacts at a territorial
00:05:25level. Armed conflicts, the
00:05:29increasingly severe effects of climate change, recurrent
00:05:32economic crises, geopolitical
00:05:35tensions and growing inequalities affect
00:05:38more intensely and painfully
00:05:41developing countries, where millions of
00:05:45people continue to suffer from hunger, food
00:05:49insecurity and malnutrition.
00:05:52In the scenario described, public
00:05:55policies for the transformation of agrifood
00:05:58systems are not just a technical priority that
00:06:01development imposes,
00:06:03they demand above all, an ethical and political
00:06:07responsibility from all
00:06:09governments.
00:06:13The president of Angola, Joao Gonçalves, points out that food
00:06:17security is a priority that must be resolved jointly
00:06:21and highlighting that poverty also has other factors such as recent
00:06:24armed conflicts and extreme climatic
00:06:27changes.
00:06:30Problems related to hunger also have to
00:06:33do with other factors,
00:06:37they have to do with the recurrence of armed conflicts with
00:06:40direct negative consequences for the population and
00:06:44production, which disrupt global
00:06:47supply chains and generate disastrous
00:06:50humanitarian effects and there
00:06:54are also climatic alterations, increasingly
00:06:58greater climatic changes that bring
00:07:00with them droughts, floods,
00:07:04strict droughts
00:07:07also the increase in pests. Food
00:07:11security is a goal, it is a
00:07:14priority that we will only be able to achieve
00:07:18with benefits for all within the framework of a joint
00:07:22effort based on the
00:07:25specific responsibilities and capacities of each
00:07:28one. During her speech, the acting president of
00:07:31Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, highlighted the nutritional
00:07:34recovery and the reduction of undernourishment in the country.
00:07:38She highlighted that the nation has a proven experience in the fight for the eradication of
00:07:45Venezuela is one of the countries in the
00:07:47region that has advanced the most
00:07:50recently in the reduction of
00:07:53undernourishment,
00:07:55indicators show a sustained reduction in the
00:07:59prevalence of undernourishment which reached
00:08:035.3%
00:08:05in 2025 according to figures from this
00:08:08organization and which this year is 3%,
00:08:11this
00:08:14be reflected there also where it matters most to us,
00:08:18among our boys and girls, among those
00:08:22under 5 years old, acute
00:08:26malnutrition decreased from 14.8% in
00:08:292019 to 1.3% in
00:08:332025, this nutritional
00:08:37recovery is also expressed in other
00:08:40indicators, exclusive
00:08:42maternal today reaches
00:08:4673.7%,
00:08:49being one of the highest values in our
00:08:52region. Thus,
00:08:56Venezuela has a proven experience in the
00:08:59eradication of hunger, as recognized by the
00:09:02FAO. In the United States, activists,
00:09:06community organizations and residents gather in
00:09:09Washington to discuss public policies from a...
00:09:12racial justice perspective and with an agenda that includes
00:09:15issues such as housing, health, education and citizen
00:09:18security, from Washington, José Leveña with more
00:09:21details,
00:09:26on the banks of the Potomac River, the participating organizations
00:09:29raise a question, how to build communities with
00:09:33greater decision-making power when barriers persist to accessing
00:09:36employment, housing and economic security here in the United
00:09:40States. The meeting seeks to connect
00:09:43the struggles for racial justice with other social demands from access to health and
00:09:47education to public safety and the rights of migrant
00:09:50people, but the context is also marked
00:09:54by concern about the migratory policies of the current administration of
00:09:58Donald Trump, attendance at the meeting has been reduced and
00:10:01according to what was stated at the venue, fear of possible
00:10:04raids is among the factors that could be discouraging
00:10:07participation in this type of event, a reality that
00:10:10contrasts with the need for these communities to organize,
00:10:16the decisions that affect their daily lives, during
00:10:20events like this, figures from the Washington Fiscal Policy Institute
00:10:24have also been released that show the dimension of racial
00:10:27inequalities in the economy of the capital, according to the report, the
00:10:31labor participation of the African-American population
00:10:35stands at 59% compared to 82% of the white
00:10:38population, the document also indicates that the hourly wages of white
00:10:42workers are 1.8 times higher than those of African-American
00:10:45and Latino workers, in terms of unemployment, the rate among the black
00:10:49population is almost three times higher than among the white population and there is another data point
00:10:53that illustrates the pressure on
00:10:56households. The report estimates that a family of three needs
00:10:59around $145 annually to cover their basic
00:11:03needs in Washington, while the median income of African-American
00:11:07households is around $60,000.
00:11:09This is the scenario and it is the
00:11:12challenge to generate employment and ensure that
00:11:16work allows families to live with dignity and historically
00:11:20marginalized communities have a voice in public
00:11:22policies. From Washington.
00:11:29Thanks to our colleague José Leveña from Washington, very attentive to the
00:11:32news there, we are going to a short break, we'll be right back.
00:12:24Thank you for following us. The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, denounced a
00:12:27plan against her government after pointing out the war campaign
00:12:31by Fernando Cerimedo and the right wing through bot
00:12:34farms. Sheinbaum resumed the testimony of Nadia Beller, the ex-partner
00:12:38of the digital leader and criminal Fernando Cerimedo, about bot
00:12:42farms, coordinated attacks, purchase of
00:12:44coordinated influencers to misinform and distort public
00:12:48opinion. Beller's interview reiterated the Mexican
00:12:52president's complaint about a destabilization
00:12:56campaign that her administration had been announcing.
00:12:59Beller publicly stated that Cerimedo expressed
00:13:02his intention to participate in the elections in Mexico with
00:13:05a candidate to seek to remove President Claudia
00:13:08Sheinbaum from office.
00:13:14I will close with an interview that Canal 14
00:13:18did yesterday.
00:13:21The morning show. It was done by the wife of
00:13:25Cerimedo. I'll just leave it there for you to hear what
00:13:30here who listens to
00:13:32us, he is a partner of the right
00:13:36wing newspaper that today uncovers
00:13:38not
00:13:42that he was arrested for attempted
00:13:45femicide of his wife
00:13:48and the wife has
00:13:51been denouncing for months not
00:13:55only the violence, but what he did,
00:13:58what he does, so it is worth
00:14:02listening to this little piece of the interview, because it is
00:14:05something we have been saying in the
00:14:09morning show, eh, how they
00:14:13eh, how they participate in elections, as you mentioned
00:14:16before, with distortion of public debate, with cognitive
00:14:20frauds, with dirty war, buying
00:14:23influencers eh, with their bot farms that...
00:14:26coordinate attacks,
00:14:29coordinate the trending topic, all
00:14:33those things that make that make
00:14:36the public
00:14:38debate distorted, you have to hear
00:14:41it completely, but see how she uses the term,
00:14:45distortion of public
00:14:46debate,
00:14:51through bot farms, influencer purchases.
00:14:56And about this interview shown by President Claudia Sheinbaum,
00:15:00Nadia Beller, ex-wife of Cerimedo, revealed the
00:15:03links with US officials and manipulation
00:15:07campaigns.
00:15:10Brad Parscale is his partner, he is the one who gives him this technology
00:15:13for him to manage in Latin America, another of his operators is Andy
00:15:17Rivas, as for Trump
00:15:20Junior, he himself said here in the press in
00:15:24an interview. with your partner that he was a partner in
00:15:27several companies with this gentleman,
00:15:31eh, then I published chats that he sent
00:15:35me, that is, screenshots where... conversations with
00:15:38people from various countries were seen, no,
00:15:41he had, he had operators everywhere,
00:15:44people, people with whom he coordinated in almost all
00:15:47countries, it calls my attention a lot and even
00:15:51more now that it is known that in Bolivia there is no rule of law,
00:15:55that the investigations that have been opened, for example in Chile, have
00:15:59not, have not yet required cooperation for that
00:16:02phone breakdown so that they
00:16:04can also get these
00:16:08communications, it calls my attention very much this
00:16:11negligence of the investigation in almost all
00:16:15countries where electoral manipulation
00:16:19or some type of electoral
00:16:23crime is presumed.
00:16:25Let's move on to another topic, in Panama, the city of Penonomé,
00:16:29capital of the province of Coclé, suffered structural damage after
00:16:32a 7.7 magnitude earthquake on Friday
00:16:36October 9 to the west of
00:16:39earthquake, the authorities have not registered
00:16:43missing persons, seriously injured or
00:16:45deceased. In Penonomé, the Aquilino
00:16:49Tejeira hospital transferred dozens of patients after
00:16:53the earthquake because its infrastructure suffered slight
00:16:56damage. The authorities are evaluating whether the patients can be
00:17:00transferred back to the hospital in the coming
00:17:02days.
00:17:17Social movements in Guatemala mobilize this Monday in the
00:17:2022 departments and in rejection of the increase in fuel
00:17:23prices and to demand from the national government measures to
00:17:27curb inflation. The call was made by peasant
00:17:30organizations and indigenous peoples since 7 in the
00:17:34morning local time in the main avenues of the country. The
00:17:37mobilizations seek to pressure the executive and vindicate key
00:17:41sectors such as the economic, social, judicial and
00:17:44political to respond to the needs of the people. The
00:17:48day is part of a call to coordinate processes with a view
00:17:51to a popular and plurinational
00:17:54constituent assembly to refound the Guatemalan state.
00:18:09For this Monday's protests in Guatemala, we expand on some of the social
00:18:12demands: the peasant movement demands from the national government, the titling of
00:18:16lands to families in the sector and the forgiveness of debts they have
00:18:19accumulated with public or private banks. They demand a minimum
00:18:23agricultural wage, access to productive credits with fair and
00:18:29the law and to enjoy the same benefits as any other
00:18:32worker in the
00:18:33city.
00:18:43Well, also in Guatemala, the mobilizations for Indigenous
00:18:47Resistance Day conclude. Various organizations made calls
00:18:50as part of the expansion of citizen
00:18:54participation. In Guatemala City, Rolanda García
00:18:56elaborates.
00:19:00Greetings to the main set and all the audience. From
00:19:04Guatemala, we inform you that the march for the day of
00:19:07indigenous peoples concludes with a public
00:19:10pronouncement on a call for a popular
00:19:14and plurinational constituent assembly,
00:19:16which is one of the main proposals
00:19:20presented this October 12 by
00:19:23social organizations in Guatemala that
00:19:26propose to elaborate a new political and social
00:19:30pact for the country. The initiative, according to its
00:19:33promoters, would seek to establish mechanisms
00:19:36for participation, address issues related to social
00:19:40justice, equality, the rights of indigenous peoples
00:19:44and the protection of natural assets. The
00:19:47document also questions the administration
00:19:51of public resources, state
00:19:54indebtedness and the actions of different institutions. Its
00:19:57signatories demand investigations into possible acts
00:20:00of corruption and request the resignation of officials and
00:20:03deputies whom they attribute... abilities in the institutional
00:20:07crisis. The proposals and denunciations are
00:20:10contained in a manifesto signed by the
00:20:14Peasant Development Committee Codeca, the National
00:20:17Front of Struggle FNL and the Peasant
00:20:20Committee of the Altiplano CCDA. With this
00:20:23information, we return to the main set, reporting for
00:20:27Telesur from Guatemala, Rolanda García.
00:20:31Thanks Rolanda for the information,
00:20:33let's move on to another topic: Civil society
00:20:36and political authorities meet in the city of
00:20:42Resistance Day, with acts honoring indigenous
00:20:45peoples. The central activity was held in Plaza Venezuela,
00:20:49specifically at the monument dedicated to indigenous
00:20:52resistance with the delivery of a floral offering accompanied by
00:20:55traditional dance presentations that seek to highlight
00:20:59the historical and cultural heritage of these communities. Political
00:21:02authorities presented decorations to indigenous people seeking to
00:21:06preserve and promote the cultural diversity and historical
00:21:09identity of the nation. The date precisely
00:21:12commemorates the vindication of the struggle and
00:21:15the memory of the ancestral warriors who fought against the Spanish
00:21:18empire.
00:21:25multicultural and multi.
00:21:28Also this Monday, indigenous organizations and groups in
00:21:31Chile march for the resistance of indigenous peoples
00:21:34with an anti-colonial structure that demands
00:21:37visibility, rights and the rejection of land dispossession from
00:21:41ancestral communities. The coordination of autonomous indigenous
00:21:45organizations, social collectives and student
00:21:47federations, are part of... they made this call for
00:21:51mobilization, the traditional October 12
00:21:54mobilization was held in the center of Santiago de Chile with
00:21:58demands for protection, autonomy, the end of the
00:22:01militarization of indigenous territory, the release of Mapuche
00:22:05political prisoners and the decriminalization of the coca
00:22:08leaf,
00:22:16in Madrid, Spain, migrant, anti-racist and cultural
00:22:19resistance collectives demonstrated under the slogan rebellion and
00:22:23healing against centuries of oppression, yesterday they carried out
00:22:26activities within the framework of the historical date of October 12, those present
00:22:30attended the call, decolonize ourselves, October
00:22:3312 nothing to celebrate with mobilizations from the Lavanderas Park
00:22:37to Juan Goitisolo Square in front of the Reina Sofía Museum,
00:22:41they paraded with traditional dances and music
00:22:44from the ancestral peoples of the world. The
00:22:47attendees combined social protest
00:22:50with a street procession where various cultural
00:22:54resistance groups participated and denounced the current
00:22:57migratory problems in Spain. The collectives pointed out that
00:23:00the date is propitious to make visible the injustices
00:23:04and the negative impact of colonialism on the populations of the Global
00:23:07South and their descendants.
00:23:15will be recovered, the
00:23:18stolen land.
00:23:21Social organizations together with the anti-colonial bloc demonstrate to
00:23:24denounce the genocide initiated more than five centuries ago by the
00:23:28kingdom of Spain against indigenous peoples. In Barcelona,
00:23:32Andrés Flores expands with his report, go
00:23:35ahead Andrés.
00:23:37Exactly here in Barcelona, this demonstration of the anti-colonial
00:23:40bloc of different organizations that have called today for
00:23:44regularization now, organizations that are
00:23:47of course indicating an October 12
00:23:51that has nothing to do with the celebration of Hispanic heritage that is
00:23:54proposed by the institutions here in Spain, that
00:23:58is proposed by right-wing and far-right groups, but rather they are saying that there is nothing
00:24:01to celebrate here, that it was a genocide, a plunder
00:24:05and that today we are here to vindicate the
00:24:08culture, the languages of Latin America, eh, that we are
00:24:12here to vindicate the struggle of indigenous peoples and above all this
00:24:16year the need has been raised to be able to march together
00:24:19with the Palestinian community, representatives
00:24:23of Catalonia are also present here who have
00:24:26mentioned the need to also understand the
00:24:29struggle that the Palestinian people are carrying out as an
00:24:32anti-colonial struggle, we from this point eh will accompany the
00:24:36demonstration that will march, will pass by where the
00:24:39statue of Christopher Columbus is and of course there
00:24:43they will say a few words alluding to the fact that that statue should not be
00:24:46there, that he is not a person to be honored but that he must be
00:24:50placed in the place in history that corresponds to him at the forefront of that
00:24:54genocide and plunder, we, of course, will continue to bring you the details
00:24:57of this anti-colonial demonstration of this October 12,
00:25:01from here, from Barcelona, a demonstration that is already massive, that
00:25:04has brought together different groups and many people who have come
00:25:08here from unions, from left-wing parties, but also many people who
00:25:12have come alone here to be able to march and say
00:25:15no to colonialism, which of course is something that has not ended, that it is a historical
00:25:19process. that continues to be replicated and is still present, unfortunately,
00:25:23we will follow it very closely from here from Barcelona, you go ahead from
00:25:26Caracas, thank you very much Andrés Flores, our
00:25:29colleague from Barcelona, Spain, we move on to Mexico
00:25:33because the National Indigenous Congress concluded on the occasion of the 30th
00:25:36anniversary of its foundation, there Antonio Aranda with the report, Antonio,
00:25:40greetings,
00:25:43hello, good afternoon, we are here as As you well mentioned, at the
00:25:46National Indigenous Congress Assembly in its 30th edition.
00:25:50number 30, this is taking place outside of what was known
00:25:54as the Mexican Institute of Indigenous Peoples, now
00:25:57renamed by these communities for some years now
00:26:01as the House of Peoples. and indigenous communities
00:26:04Samir Flores and well, in this place is where representatives
00:26:08of 71 indigenous peoples recognized
00:26:12in Mexico, 68 different languages, have
00:26:15gathered to make a political statement precisely regarding
00:26:19the current challenges faced by indigenous
00:26:22communities. What has been recurrent in the demands of the different
00:26:25delegates is that the dispossession due to issues of
00:26:29water, mining and natural resources is a
00:26:32constant in most of the territories occupied by these indigenous
00:26:36peoples. They have denounced that unfortunately, organized crime groups
00:26:40have advanced in the capture of these resources, and this has
00:26:43caused violent confrontations in many places,
00:26:47which has left several of their leaders dead.
00:26:50They have also mentioned that in some territories, the struggle and
00:26:54organization of indigenous peoples has
00:26:56led to fabricated investigation
00:26:59files against some leaders. At this moment,
00:27:03they are imprisoned, they say they are political prisoners precisely
00:27:06because they organized the communities to defend their
00:27:10territories. At this moment, the National Indigenous Congress is
00:27:13concluding its assembly today, it lasted three days and they have mainly
00:27:17called for maintaining the unity of indigenous peoples and
00:27:20continuing to care for their territory from their bases.
00:27:24This is my report. Thank you, Antonio, we are very attentive, of course, to
00:27:28this whole scenario. The National Indigenous Congress concludes in Mexico, after
00:27:3130 years of life of this important
00:27:35space for indigenous people in the
00:27:38country. With this, we conclude.
