Dionisio Gómez

Dionisio Gómez is a prominent advocate for indigenous rights in Paraguay and serves as a representative of the Mesa de Articulación del Paraguay (MAIPy). He has been vocal in his criticism of recent decisions made by the Instituto Paraguayo del Indígena (Indi), particularly regarding the controversial move of its headquarters from Asunción and the lack of consultation with indigenous communities. Gómez argues that the leadership of the Indi, currently held by a retired military general, is inadequate for addressing the complexities of indigenous issues, emphasizing the need for proper representation and adherence to legal frameworks that protect indigenous rights.
