Caracas, The foreign minister of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, denounced that the government of Guyana has a hidden agenda contrary to the intention of solving the territorial dispute with her country, published today the website of the Foreign Ministry.

We have given details of how it was the behavior of the new authorities in Guyana in line with corporate interests to create disintegration in the region, said Rodriguez, who met Monday in Saint John with Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Brown.

She noted that Venezuela will rescue the Essequibo territory with peace, against the voices seeking an escalation ascent different from diplomatic means.

In Antigua and Barbuda, Rodriguez explained and the representatives of the government of that country the historical reasons of the dispute over the refusal of the Guyanese government to seek a diplomatic and peaceful solution to this territorial dispute.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister yesterday resumed a Caribbean tour to make the case for her government to claim sovereign rights over the territory of more than 159 thousand square kilometers taken from her country.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
