On Friday, August 20, President Nicolás Maduro appointed indigenous leader Roside Virginia González as the new minister for the welfare of the indigenous peoples of Venezuela.

President Maduro informed the new appointment on his Twitter account. As the new head of the Ministry for Indigenous Peoples, Roside Virginia González replaces Yamilet Mirabal.
