  1. The crisis at the top of power in Argentina escalates day by day. President Alberto Fernández no longer hides his discomfort with his vice president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. This Tuesday, he warned whoever was his political mentor that he is the one who makes government decisions. But at the same time he called for the unity of the Frente de Todos, the Peronist coalition that has Kirchnerism as its main force. The rupture was consummated last Thursday, when the 13 senators who respond to the vice president voted against the agreement signed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to refinance a debt of 44.5 billion dollars. Fernández has long endured friendly fire, but the negative vote from members of his own coalition was too much. "When they proposed to me to be in charge, I knew that I was going to have to make decisions and I expected them to accompany me and they did not accompany me," lamented the president in an interview that he gave to an ultra-Kirchnerist radio station. He thus tried to give a direct message to whoever put him in charge of the presidency, as he himself said. In 2019, it was Cristina Kirchner who asked Fernández to run for president, with her as her vice president. The experiment was successful in blocking the re-election of Mauricio Macri, but he has made water to govern. The differences regarding the economic direction grew with the worsening of the crisis. The criticism of Cristina Kirchner and her son Máximo de ella, leader of the group La Cámpora, were less and less veiled. The parliamentary rebellion of Kirchnerism was, finally, a declaration of open war. Fernández has said this Tuesday that he will not be the one to take the step towards a breakup of the coalition. “Not all of us think the same. What I think we cannot do is give ourselves the luxury, for whatever reason, narcissism, selfishness, politics, to disunite. On my part, do not expect a single gesture that breaks the unity. I am not anyone's puppet. It has been shown that I have differences, but I act with my convictions. I listen to everyone, but I am the president and I am the one who has to make the decisions”, he expressed. It is the first time that the Argentine president has referred so openly to the fight with Cristina Kirchner. The Argentines knew that things were not right by actions, more than by words. After the electoral defeat in the primary elections of September last year, Cristina Kirchner ordered the ministers who respond to her to present her resignation. She thus forced Fernandez to make a Cabinet change that she did not want. The relationship definitely deteriorated with the agreement with the IMF. While the opposition supported it in Congress, the text received merciless criticism from Kirchnerism. On Monday, a group of Kirchnerist intellectuals put words to the discontent of the sector. In a public letter, they criticized Fernández's economic strategy to combat inflation, which is already over 50%, and warned that calls for unity alone are not enough to resolve the economic and political disaster that Argentina is going through. “Unity for what policy? Unit that guarantees the transfer of resources from workers to capital? Unit that breaks the electoral contract and in which the workers are harmed?”, the authors of the document wondered. “The ‘Unity’ of the Frente de Todos was already broken in November 2021 when more than four million voters who accompanied him in 2019 no longer did so in the mid-term elections. Rebuilding it is the goal,” the document says. In Kirchnerism they consider that the crisis will end up dragging them to a defeat in the 2023 presidential elections. And that the agreement with the IMF will only aggravate the debacle. The strategy has been to leave the president alone. For now, Cristina Kirchner will continue in the Executive, at least formally. On Thursday, Argentina commemorates a new anniversary of the 1976 military coup against Isabel Perón. La Cámpora, the group of Máximo, Cristina Kirchner's son, has organized a long march from the former ESMA illegal detention center to the Plaza de Mayo. The tour involves crossing the entire city of Buenos Aires from west to east. It will be a show of force for Fernández, a reminder that the street belongs to them. https://elpais.com/internacional/2022-03-23/alberto-fernandez-advierte-al-kirchnerismo-el-presidente-soy-yo.html
  2. The island of San Andrés, in the Colombian Caribbean, has been in shock since Friday. That was the day that in this region of calm seas and crystal clear waters, a tiger shark ended the life of an Italian tourist after severing a large part of his right thigh with a bite. The event, which authorities and experts insist on emphasizing as strange and unusual, has provoked reactions of all kinds, from those who have rushed to request that responsibilities for the presence of the shark in an area enabled for bathing be purged to those who, directly, They have decided to organize themselves to take justice into their own hands. Although the tiger shark is a protected species in the country, several groups of islanders have been mobilizing in recent hours to organize raids with the sole objective of ending the life of the animal, a fact that has already been denounced by several environmental organizations that They work in San Andres. Tiger shark hunting has been prohibited since 2008. The Raya Corporation, an organization that has been working for 20 years in defense of animal rights, has denounced a video where you can see a group of people trying to hunt sharks in the island beaches. The images show how, shortly after the hunt began, a ship from the National Navy arrives to try to dissuade them: "Personnel in the water are reminded that the species they are trying to hunt is a protected species," a man is heard saying. official. "The shark is going to kill us," the islanders respond in the video. Fear has already claimed its first victim: this weekend this same group killed a nurse shark, a different species from the one that killed the tourist on Friday. The experts from the Coral Corporation, an environmental entity, clarify that this species does not represent any danger to man and flatly reject actions that, they remember, can bring sanctions. In Colombia, illegal hunting and fishing are typified throughout the territory as a crime that carries fines of up to 35,000 current monthly legal minimum wages (the equivalent of more than 916,500 dollars) and imprisonment for 48 to 108 months. Given these events, the government entity in charge of the area requested support from shark experts to carry out maneuvers to capture and relocate the specimens to a place far from the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve: “International support will arrive on the island between Monday and Tuesday. of San Andres. They will bring satellite devices that will be placed on the specimens to be able to monitor them, ”they say from the Coralina Corporation in a statement. To help in these tasks, environmentalists ask not to continue throwing food remains into the sea, as it causes these types of animals, which are usually found in deep waters, to emerge to feed. It is not the only habit of the inhabitants of the area that they recommend changing. For example, the Raya Corporation has also asked that people on the island who live from tourism stop feeding sharks with meat to attract them and that tourists can take videos and photos diving with them. The practice, the specialists explain, is very common among the diving clubs that proliferate in the area and compete fiercely among themselves for the attention of tourists, and it accustoms the sharks to look for food in environments that they would naturally discard, such as the shallow waters where humans swim. Juliana Barberí, director of the Raya Corporation, explains that they have received many complaints and reports of bad practices that have been carried out with tourism in order to be able to see sharks. "And now they are killing the sharks to protect their businesses and thus prevent tourists from being afraid to go to this part of the island to spend their vacations," she explains. Barberí criticizes the actions of the Government because the solution, she believes, is in no case to relocate or move these sharks anywhere. The home of sharks, she says, is the sea: "They want them close to use them for entertainment, but when they get too close, they want to kill them."

  3. In October of last year, the Renault Kwid stopped being sold in Argentina. The compact hatchback, which had arrived in our country in 2017, left the market due to a change in the sales strategy of the subsidiary of the French brand. During the last five months, the Kwid has not only been updated in the region, but it has also been confirmed that its electric version, produced in Europe and Asia, will arrive in South America this year. While we wait for its return to the national market (in 2023?), a variant of the electric Kwid with sports overtones was presented from the other side of the world. “Kwid” and “sporty” in the same sentence? Yes, just as you read it. Let's see what it brings. Dongfeng EX1 Pro Tiger Yao: Main Features This particular electric Kwid was made by the Chinese brand Dongfeng, a firm that until 2020 maintained a strong link with Renault, being in charge of the production of models such as the Koleos, Captur and the battery-powered Kwid itself in the Asian country, which under the The Diamond brand is called City K-ZE. Called EX1 Pro Tiger Yao, our protagonist is a limited edition of the EX1 Pro, which is nothing more than the battery-powered Kwid but under the umbrella of the Chinese house. It presents purely aesthetic changes, both on the outside and inside. As for what is presented in the bodywork, the most relevant of the EX1 Pro Tiger Yao is the following: Predominant black color Red details (sides and bumper) Matte colored rims False grill that acts as a cover for a charging plug Regarding the passenger compartment, the hatchback stands out for having: Seat, door and dashboard upholstery redesigned Application of red lines in much of the interior Large screen multimedia system Shift Simulation Knob Dongfeng EX1 Pro Tiger Yao: Drive system and more details The EX1 Pro Tiger Yao is powered by an electric motor that delivers 45 hp and 125 Nm of torque. In addition, it has a 26.8 kWh lithium battery, which gives it a range of 321 kilometers, at least in the Chinese CLTC cycle. This curious variant of the electric Kwid will be presented to the public at the next edition of the Beijing Motor Show, to be held at the end of April this year. Only 1,000 units will be produced. Now it's your turn: What do you think of this new version of the Kwid? Like? I shared your opinion in the comments, always with respect. https://noticias.autocosmos.com.ar/2022/03/23/asi-es-el-kwid-electrico-chino-con-look-deportivo
  4. Christian Eriksen's return to football was news that shocked the football world. The midfielder was signed by Brentford FC earlier in the year and made three Premier League appearances. Now, the player is in a position to return to play with the Danish national team, which has already qualified for the 2022 Qatar World Cup and will play two friendly matches on this FIFA Date. When it seemed that Eriksen's return to the Danish team for having tested positive for Covid-19, the player received good news. He is already recovered and returned to training this Thursday, so he could sign his big return with the Denmark shirt on Saturday, as confirmed by coach Kasper Hjulmand. Nine months after his cardiac arrest in the middle of the European Championship, which required the implantation of a cardiac regulator, Eriksen was summoned last week for two friendly matches, on Saturday against the Netherlands at the Amsterdam Arena and on Tuesday against Serbia at the Parken Stadion in Copenhagen. . "Most likely, he will start as a substitute against the Netherlands, and then we will see how it goes in Amsterdam. But he will be 100% available to come back at home against Serbia," said Kasper Hjulmand during a press conference with the Danish media. Eriksen is currently concentrated with his team in Spain. "We have to talk about what he has been able to do with Brentford, where he started training again on Sunday. Before that, he missed four training sessions. So we will see what he has been able to do," Hjulmand said. The 30-year-old Danish player has been living with an internal defibrillator since the heart attack that occurred on June 12 against Finland, at the European Championship. That day, he was unconscious on the pitch for long minutes, with the shocked eyes of his teammates, the stadium and millions of viewers, before regaining consciousness after an emergency rescue. https://www.ole.com.ar/futbol-internacional/christian-eriksen-dinamarca-covid-19_0_591XFTUP8Z.html
  5. For many, using the WhatsApp application on various devices is essential, and the truth is that the company to date has not made it particularly easy. Well, this is something that is going to change in a short time because this messaging service will finally become a completely multi-device development. And this means? Well, the limitation that currently exists that forces you to have the phone where you have the active WhatsApp account connected to the internet and synchronized (for example, a computer), comes to an end. In this way, you will be able to open the client on the computer or device -perhaps this is the push that the company needed to have a version of the application for tablets- without any restrictions and with high comfort. The improvement has been in the testing phase for almost eight months, and of the improvements that are expected like rain in May in the clients of the messaging service (and it matches, once again, what Telegram offers). The fact is that you gain in comfort and flexibility, which can improve the perception that users have when it comes to using it in an advanced way, both on a personal and professional level. We are talking about a very important qualitative leap. The reasons why this did not come before Well, everything has to do with security, specifically because of the point-to-point encryption offered by WhatsApp. The company could not find the right way to be convinced to remove the restriction of having the phone active with the application. But, from what you can see, everything has changed and what will be done is that each of the devices that you can have associated with your account will have its own encryption key (so, instead of having one, they are assigned to you automatically). unique many more). There are some things that are relevant to take into account, for example that there will be four additional teams that you can have assigned as an independent start. In principle, it is more than enough to avoid problems, but WhatsApp will have to explain the reason for this limitation. In addition, the message download processes from the different devices will also be optimized so that everything is much faster than before. Arrival of the update for everyone According to the source of the information, it will be at the end of this month of March when the update will arrive on iOS, while users who have Android terminals will have to wait a little longer: in April (the rest of the versions will also arrive). at the moment). So, we are talking about a real multi-device implementation in WhatsApp shortly, and this is very good.
  6. The Minister of Justice and Human Rights of the Nation, Martín Soria, repudiated the ruling that declared the law of the Council of the Judiciary unconstitutional and pointed against the Supreme Court for "extorting Congress" and putting on "the yellow shirt" with rulings to the extent of the macrista opposition. The Senate of the Nation continues this Wednesday with the discussion in a plenary of commissions of the projects to modify the conformation of the organism that appoints and sanctions judges. "For the first time in history since the return of democracy, the Supreme Court issued a ruling declaring unconstitutional a law that was in force for 16 years. A law under which 70 percent of the judges who are in office were appointed," highlighted the national official in statements to El Destape Radio. And he added: "This Court, with two ministers appointed by decree, obliges the National Congress to issue a new law from the Council of the Magistracy in 120 days. That is, it imposes a term to legislate and the term is obviously unfulfillable. They are forcing Congress to legislate under extortion." Soria explained that the ruling of the Supreme Court "extorts" the legislative power because it indicates to Congress that if they do not approve a law, one from 1997 will remain in force and that it favored the Menemist Court. "That law was repealed and a law that was repealed by Congress cannot be made operational," said Soria, who recalled that the Supreme Court judge himself, Ricardo Lorenzetti, recognized that a repealed law can never be applied. The official warned that there are only four weeks left for the deadline established by the Supreme Court to approve a new law. "We are less than four weeks away from the paralysis of the administration of Justice in Argentina. The Council of the Judiciary, which is the body in charge of appointing judges and carrying out disciplinary processes for those judges who have some type of misconduct, is paralyzed. in their dealings." "Paralyzing the Council of the Judiciary is music to the ears of the judicial table, of Macri and for those who set up this persecution apparatus," Soria denounced. The Minister of Justice recalled that there were clandestine meetings between judges and prosecutors to put together cases. "Even former officials, spies and legislators were filmed to put together legal cases. That is the judicial, media and political persecution in which several judges and prosecutors participated" Soria accused the Court of targeting the government: "In these two years we have seen rulings tailored to the opposition, a Court that is obviously very partisan and to put it more clearly: a Court that put on the yellow shirt." Soria recalled that the Supreme Court stopped the national government's decision to declare an essential public service for telecommunications companies, which allowed them to increase their income extraordinarily in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. https://www.eldestapeweb.com/politica/corte-suprema-de-justicia/soria-la-corte-extorsiona-al-congreso-y-tiene-la-camiseta-amarilla--202232310490
  7. very nice texts, effects and blur without a doubt GOOD WORKS!
  8. Feliz cumpleaños veneco!
  9. The Mexican president is breaking his proverbial reservation about travel and international politics. In the three long years of his mandate, Andrés Manuel López Obrador has left Mexico only twice, always to the United States and required by the solemnity of the appointment: the entry into force of the free trade agreement and the temporary presidency of the UN Security Council. However, the Mexican president seems willing to step on the accelerator during the second part of the six-year term with the recent announcements of a battery of trips more focused on the southern neighbors, dusting off a Latin Americanist agenda that had a first precedent during the temporary presidency of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) two years ago. From Tapachula, the heart of the migratory crisis, he announced last Friday a tour of Cuba and Central America to seek agreements with the governments of the so-called northern triangle and stop migratory flows. While this Monday, during his morning conference, he did not rule out traveling to Argentina as well. The new tentative announcement came after the diplomatic trip made last week by his wife, Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller, through the southern cone. In addition to attending the inauguration of Chilean President Gabriel Boric, he also passed through Argentina to transfer his support to President Alberto Fernandez in the face of "the great offensive of the right." The latest movements are part of the new political balance in the region. In addition to the victory of the Broad Front, the coalition of Chilean leftists, this year's presidential elections in Colombia and Brazil may bring about two new progressive rulers. In fact, López Obrador released on Monday the content of a letter sent by the Argentine president in which he urged him to "accompany" the Brazilian candidate, Lula da Silva, and "strengthen the MBA (Mexico, Brazil and Argentina). Fernández pointed out in the letter that "the region's policy could be directed towards a better democratic quality and fundamentally in a fairer distribution of income." The response of the Mexican president was to support his Argentine counterpart, even going beyond the creation of a hub between the three regional giants. “I think that regardless of this alliance in Latin America, the integration of all of our America should be sought. Like the European Union, the entire American continent must be integrated, consolidate the integration of North America, but also think about Central America. Just as Alberto speaks of the continent with the most inequality, it is undoubtedly the continent with the most economic and commercial potential.” Despite López Obrador's reluctance to dedicate too much effort outside its borders - one of his most repeated sayings is: "The best foreign policy is domestic policy" - the Morena government has been sending signals of his interests . The asylum of former Bolivian president Evo Morales was followed by the assumption in 2020 of the temporary presidency of CELAC. And from that platform, Mexico has launched an open offensive against the OAS, sponsored by the US, confirming the Mexican will to take a step forward in the international arena. The first meeting of the organization served as the stage for an unusual allegation against the economic blockade against Cuba and, above all, the ordering of the OAS, after months of tensions against the personalism of its secretary general, Luis Almagro. The Mexican president then went so far as to ask for the replacement of the OAS by "an organization that is no one's lackey", opening the door to new regional balances in the relationship between Latin America and the United States. The second meeting was attended by the Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and the Cuban Manuel Díaz-Canel. The management of vaccines has been another of the fronts where Mexico has first taken the initiative. In February of last year, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard denounced to the United Nations Security Council the unequal distribution of vaccines against covid-19. In addition, the foreign minister then spoke on behalf of CELAC, expanding the speaker of him as a regional leader. Shortly after and taking advantage of the visit to Mexico of the Argentine president, Alberto Fernández, the vaccines also served as the axis of a joint diplomatic action. The Mexico-Argentina agreement materialized, within the framework of CELAC, in the production of the first vaccine manufactured and packaged in the region. https://elpais.com/mexico/2022-03-14/lopez-obrador-busca-recuperar-el-protagonismo-regional-con-el-anuncio-de-sus-primeros-viajes-por-latinoamerica.html
  10. Frenchman Pierre Gasly (AlphaTauri) dominated the first day of Formula 1 testing at the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain; where the highest category gets ready for the start of the tournament in this same scenario. Gasly set the fastest lap of the day under the lights of the Bahraini track with 1m33902/1000. With this time the Frenchman surpassed the Spanish Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) by 457/1000. While the Monegasque Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) closed the Top 3 after dominating the first turn. Although Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) was responsible for the first red flag of the day after “rakes” from a little piano got caught on his car, the Canadian finished in fourth place. He left Thai Alex Albon (Williams) behind. In this return of F.1 to action after the tests carried out in Barcelona (Spain), the Mercedes team was astonished by putting a W13 without wings on the track to take better advantage of the ground effect that the new technical regulations provide. https://noticias.autocosmos.com.ar/2022/03/10/f1-2022-pierre-gasly-el-lider-en-el-regreso-a-la-actividad
  11. In the Cabañeros National Park (Castilla-La Mancha), 3,500 deer and 1,100 wild boar were captured per year before commercial and sport hunting was banned in the national parks on December 5, 2020. Since then, neither deer nor wild boars in the private hunting reserves ―44% of the 40,850 hectares of the park―, so that the problem of overpo[CENSORED]tion of wild ungulates that drags the protected area has intensified. Time has caught up and the National Parks authorized in an "extraordinary" way the hunting of some 5,000 specimens of deer, wild boar, fallow deer and mouflon on private farms, but as po[CENSORED]tion control ―without the owners of the farms obtaining an economic benefit ― and in just one month, from January 28 to February 28. The owners of the preserves have stood up and have said no, because it is not possible in 30 days and because they ask to be compensated for the expenses of the activity. In one of the largest private farms in the national park, with more than 6,000 hectares, the resolution sent by the Ministry of Sustainable Development of Castilla-La Mancha allowed the killing of 715 deer and 572 wild boar. How do you slaughter that many cattle in a month? "It's absolutely impossible," says Miguel Temboury, a lawyer for the Cabañeros Association of Affected People, made up of owners of large preserves. "What Castilla-La Mancha has done is improvise and put the quotas from before in 30 days, when before they fell from October to February." In addition, the owners consider that they should be compensated, because "this activity has a cost". The extraordinary authorization allows them to sell the meat of the pieces, but not to charge the hunters who participate. Intensive hunting activity was carried out in many of the private preserves before the prohibition of commercial hunting. To achieve good production, land was fenced off to prevent the cattle from leaving and they were offered supplementary feed, which allowed them to reproduce as if the natural conditions were ideal, even though there was little food and water naturally. This, together with the fact that the controls of the public parts of the park did not work either, has caused a problem of overpo[CENSORED]tion of ungulates, which affects the fragile Mediterranean ecosystem of the national park. According to those responsible for Cabañeros, the only solution is to control these po[CENSORED]tions with "specialized personnel", but under the supervision of the Administration. The authorization was sent by the Ministry of Sustainable Development, but it was dealt with in the mixed commission of National Parks. The powers over Cabañeros belong to the State, although the definitive transfer to the community of this national park and that of Las Tablas de Daimiel, also in Castilla-La Mancha, is planned for this year. Antonio Aranda, head of the Natural Spaces Service of this community, explains that the quota of animals to be killed that is marked in the extraordinary authorization is "a maximum", so it is not mandatory to hunt that amount. It is the calculation that is made by taking the density of animals per 100 hectares. https://elpais.com/clima-y-medio-ambiente/2022-03-15/parques-nacionales-autorizo-la-caza-en-solo-un-mes-de-5000-ciervos-y-jabalies-en-cabaneros.html
  12. July 10, 2021 is a date that will forever be highlighted in the history of Argentine football. The national team, led by Lionel Messi on the field and by Lionel Scaloni from the coaching staff, got rid of a long frustration and was crowned in the Copa América by defeating Brazil 1-0 at the Maracana. For Ángel Di María, scorer of the goal, it will be unforgettable; but it was also for defender Renan Lodi, who was unable to close the advance of the Paris Saint Germain player and was burned by the action. At 21 minutes into the first half, Rodrigo De Paul sent a long ball so that Fideo Di María won Lodi's back, dominated her with his left foot and exquisitely defined over goalkeeper Ederson. Of course, Di Maria was able to receive De Paul's precise pass, to a large extent, because Lodi reacted late and had a slight deflection/fumble of the ball. The current Atlético de Madrid footballer was exposed because the play ended in a goal and, in addition, because of the incredulous gestures of his teammates, especially Casemiro. The play was decisive in the final. And it also caused great personal damage to the Brazilian soccer player. In the last few hours he confessed that, after the error in Rio de Janeiro, he had to seek psychological help for the mistreatment and the accusation that he suffered in different areas. “It was all very hard. I cried a lot. I lost my mind and went looking for a psychologist and all because it was very difficult. I also lowered my level in my club and it affected me a lot, ”said the defender on TNT Sports Brasil. Lodi said that he contacted a psychologist he knew from the time he played for the Athletico Paranaense club. “That problem occurred in the national team and I said to myself: I need to put my head in order. It wasn't depression, but I was on my way to training at Atlético de Madrid and I wanted to go back; I was going out to play and I wanted to get out of the game fast. It was difficult”, added the player who is trained by Diego Simeone at Atlético de Madrid. https://www.lanacion.com.ar/deportes/futbol/el-drama-que-vivio-el-defensor-brasileno-tras-cometer-un-error-en-la-final-de-la-copa-america-nid15032022/
  13. Ruins, mysteries, secrets, redemption and spirituality are some of the characteristics of the Katskhi Pillar story. Located in Georgia, the country located on the Black Sea coast, between Eastern Europe and Western Asia, this temple stands more than 40 meters high on a limestone monolith. The first mention of the pillar in history appears in the 18th-century work Description of the Kingdom of Georgia, written by the cartographer, historian and geographer Vakhushti. “There is a rock within the ravine that rises like a pillar, considerably high. There is a small church on top of the rock, but no one is able to climb it, nor do they know how to do it”, can be read in the text. The pillar of life, as it is called by those around it, is crowned by a church that, according to expert archaeologists, was built between the 6th and 7th centuries. In 1944, the first expedition to the place was led, organized by the mountaineer Alexander Japaridze and the writer Levan Gotua. Upon reaching the top, the climbers discovered the ruins of two ancient temples alongside the skeleton of what appeared to be the last monk-stylist who had lived there more than 600 years ago. Pilar Katskhi Pilar KatskhiiStock These religious were known to go to secluded places such as columns or pillars (from the Greek stylos) where they had peace and quiet for their prayers. For this reason they are called monk-stylists. However, even today the way in which that temple was built is still unknown due to the height of the monolith and the difficulty in climbing the high rock. a new visitor Until a few years ago, Katskhi was crowned only with ruins. It was not until the arrival of the 54-year-old monk-stylist Maxime Qavtaradze that he came to life again. This religious lived at the top since 2015 and only went down twice a week to pray with his followers. https://www.lanacion.com.ar/lifestyle/el-milenario-y-misterioso-templo-hecho-sobre-un-angosto-pilar-de-40-metros-nid15032022/
  14. This morning, the Buenos Aires government confirmed that they will put fences around Congress to avoid excesses when the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is debated in the Senate. The decision comes after the violence that broke out last Thursday during the discussion of the project in the Chamber of Deputies. While there were doubts about who gave the order not to place this type of protection in the Legislative Palace on that day, the Minister of City Security, Marcelo D'Alessandro, blamed the ruling party, saying that the Government " requires them” not to put up fences during the demonstrations. "Cristina herself has called on the phone," he said. Facing the discussion in the Upper House of the understanding that the Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, outlined with the IMF staff, D'Alessandro indicated: "We are going to create a fence that allows the Police to have a lung so that it can act much faster protecting themselves and also those who are going to exercise the right to claim or petition the authorities. We are going to fence the Congress and deploy the forces so that they act as always, guaranteeing the development of the Congress, which is one of the pillars of democracy”. After the excesses in the vicinity of Congress, which occurred when a march by leftist groups against the IMF was taking place, the Buenos Aires Minister of Security had clarified that there was a request from the Government not to put up a fence. Yesterday, his counterpart from the Nation, Aníbal Fernández, said he did not know who issued that order. Today, D 'Alessandro ratified his sayings and entrusted part of that will to the vice president. “For two years they demanded that we not put up fences both in Congress and in the Casa Rosada, when there are demonstrations. Cristina herself has called on the phone requesting that the fences be removed, ”she indicated. Convinced that the attack on her office was planned, Cristina Kirchner published recordings of the riots yesterday and noted that the City Police had arrived 20 minutes after they began. For his part, the Buenos Aires minister explained why there was this delay in the actions of the force, in charge of taking care of the streets of the Capital. https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/votacion-en-el-senado-la-ciudad-confirmo-que-instalara-vallas-en-el-congreso-para-evitar-nuevos-nid15032022/

  16. Next Thursday, around three in the afternoon, the bells of the Mater Admirabilis church will ring again, a few meters from the Buenos Aires corner of Arroyo and Suipacha, where thirty years ago a terrorist attack reduced the Israeli embassy to rubble in the country and left a balance of 29 dead and several dozen wounded. Three decades after that attack, the first of its kind in the history of our country, a high-level delegation headed by Deputy Prime Minister Gideon Saar will participate in the memorial service that day, in the dry square erected at the site of the attack and together to relatives of the victims. In the presence of government officials-the Minister of Justice, Martín Soria, the Deputy Foreign Minister Pablo Tettamanti and the Secretary of Worship, Guillermo Oliveri-the delegates of the Hebrew State will renew the request for Justice and will once again blame Iran and the Hezbollah armed militia for the attack, which ended up being a mournful antecedent of the attack on the AMIA, which two years later sowed death and horror in the heart of downtown Buenos Aires. Saar, one of the key men in the Israeli government, will be received by President Alberto Fernández before the event, and will also visit Congress, where he will be received by the head of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Massa, and will meet with leaders of Together for the Change, according to sources from the organization of the visit. “The attack on the Israeli embassy, as well as the AMIA, are two open wounds for Israeli society and especially for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We are still waiting for justice, we know who was responsible, who sent the terrorists from Tehran, and who carried it out, the Hezbollah terrorist organization,” Lior Jaiat, spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, told LA NACION. “Each year that passes, the lives lost and the certainty that those responsible are not brought to justice never cease to be in our minds. As a diplomat that I was for several years in Argentina, I remember the dead and the wounded. For the Iranian government we are all targets of terrorism,” he added. In addition to Saar, who also holds the position of Minister of Justice, Miri ben Zeev, widow of Eli ben Zeev, one of the Israeli officials who died in the attack, a government representative and Israel's ambassador to the country, Galit Ronen. Last year, it was Foreign Minister Felipe Solá who represented the Government at the commemorative act, which, like the one in 2020, was carried out in virtual format. Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero, who replaced him in September, will be able to attend, before he leaves for the Middle East on Saturday - he will go to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia - for a trade mission, along with a delegation of businessmen and governors. Israel's claim The renewed request for justice is related to a legal case paralyzed decades ago. In December 1999, the Supreme Court - which took up the case from the beginning because it was within its original jurisdiction - ruled that "the attack against the Israeli embassy in Argentina was organized and carried out by the terrorist group called Islamic Jihad, an arm armed Hezbollah." It also ruled that the case should remain open to find and prosecute those responsible for the attack, something that is still pending more than twenty years later, despite the fact that the current Minister of the Court Ricardo Lorenzetti affirmed in 2015 that "the sentence for the The cause of the Israeli embassy was consented to by the parties, so that we as a court cannot modify what has already been accepted and is res judicata”, said the then president of the high court. Ricardo Lorenzetti, minister of the Supreme Court, said in 2015 that the sentence for the attack on the Israeli embassy was "consented to by the parties" Justice Ricardo Lorenzetti, minister of the Supreme Court, said in 2015 that the sentence for the attack on the Israeli embassy was "consented to by the parties" Justice Fabián Marelli Israel's singling out of Iran as the intellectual author of the attacks makes the Argentine government uncomfortable and comes at a time when Russia's invasion of Ukraine reconfigures part of the political board. Iran, an ally of Moscow, is today an alternative source of oil in the face of the US embargo against Vladimir Putin. While Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Benett is trying to mediate to stop the conflict (he met with Putin), the Iranian government is trying to take advantage of this favorable circumstance and has already asked the United States to lift sanctions against two accused and wanted by Interpol for the attack on the AMIA. They are the former foreign minister of Iran Ali Akbar Velayati and the current vice president Mohsen Rezai, whose presence at the recent act of resumption of Daniel Ortega as president of Nicaragua led to a diplomatic scandal and the renewed request for the resignation of the opposition against ambassador Daniel Capitanich, who was in the same act and did not notify the chancellery. “Sending a minister of such significance to Argentina demonstrates the importance that Israel assigns to the commemoration of the attack. Despite the years that have passed, we continue with the memory and with the request for justice”, concluded Jaiat.
  17. The Covid-19 pandemic produced great changes at the labor level. Remote work increased in many cities around the world and, although in some places in Europe they returned to face-to-face work with the drop in infections, other companies preferred to keep working from home. But, this lack of work on site caused that there is not so much food abandoned in the city centers, so in the United Kingdom there was a plague of rats "the size of cats" that invade the toilets of the po[CENSORED]tion. ads by With their highly flexible bones that allow them to fit into pipes and their ability to breathe underwater for more than three minutes, these rodents are ideally suited to take up residence in home toilets. “Right now there is a lot of food for rats, with ripe fruit and harvest crops, so the rat po[CENSORED]tion is currently peaking,” Paul Bates, representative of Cleankill Pest Control, told the British newspaper The Sun. . The Norwich City Council, in the east of England, made some recommendations to citizens to avoid this problem. These include keeping the toilet lid closed and always lowering the chain before using it. In addition, they warn that the doors of the garages and the entrances must remain well closed so that these rodents cannot get through. As the UK braces for one of the coldest seasons in 30 years, rats are looking for food and warmth in homes. They feed on human feces and dead rodents first, then enter the home in search of fresh food. Rats of more than 30 centimeters can cause damage to the wiring, because with their sharp teeth they break the electricity cables, a situation that could cause a fire, and destroy the interior system of cars. This plague not only scares the inhabitants of homes, but it can also cause illness and become a public health problem. According to information from The Sun, Peter Higgs, director of PGH Pest Control, assured that most rats have Weil's disease in their system, an infection that humans can contract through the urine of the infected species and which, without treatment, causes fever, bleeding and even death. https://www.lanacion.com.ar/el-mundo/alerta-en-el-reino-unido-por-ratas-del-tamano-de-gatos-que-salen-de-inodoros-nid11032022/
