Toyota, like other Asian brands, is committed to hydrogen as an alternative to electric battery cars. A technology that has already begun to settle in Japan but not so much in Europe. Thus, the Japanese firm has just registered the first unit of its Toyota Mirai fuel cell, a model that is marketed in Japan and in some European countries such as Germany, but has not yet arrived in Spain. However, this first unit registered has not been conceived for the particular market. The fact that we have the first Toyota Mirai with Spanish registration (with the DGT Zero label) goes hand in hand with the Climate Summit (COP25), which is now being held in Madrid at the Ifema fair. In short, it is the grain of sand provided by Toyota Spain in this meeting of 197 countries transferred in extremis to Spain and only one month after the Paris Agreement enters into force. In the same vein, Audi has moved, giving an e-tron to the acting president, Pedro Sánchez, to go to the COP25. With this movement, Toyota wants to demonstrate that there is life beyond battery electric, despite the fact that the brand, a faithful defender of eco vehicles that do not require recharging in a plug, has passed through the hoop and will be released in electric cars cigars through its premium firm Lexus. Madrid will have its first hydrogenera in 2020 In Spain, only one hydrogen model is sold, the Hyundai Nexo, which starts at 72,250 euros today. The fact that in our country we are barely effective with this electric alternative, which only emits water vapor, is a consequence of the distrust that still weighs on fuel cell vehicles in terms of safety, as well as its high price, fruit of the high cost of its extraction process. Although methods are already being developed that reduce it. To be fair, it is a widespread trend in Europe, not only in Spain, except for Germany. In this way, if we are still in diapers in terms of charging infrastructure for electricity, more so is hydrogen: only three hydrogeneras are operational in our country, with another four projected. And Toyota wants to put a shoulder to put a solution to this. Together with this first Mirai registered, Toyota has launched a project, in collaboration with Enagás (through its subsidiary Enagás Emprende) and Urbaser, to install the first hydrogen charging station in Madrid. It, which is one of the four planned according to the map of the National Hydrogen Center in Spain, will join the future of Seville and Aragon. In addition, this hydrogenera will be accompanied by a fleet of twelve Toyota Mirai, which will be put into circulation in 2020 in the region as part of the initiative. The brand does not reveal the fate of these units: it is unknown if they will be part of the firm's fleets or if they will be transferred to the administration, It should be remembered that hydrogen vehicles have some advantages in terms of usability over battery electric: they do not require a plug to charge and their recharge times (hydrogen tank) are similar to those of combustion models (in around three and five minutes).

Bariatric and metabolic surgery prolongs the life of obese patients by ten years, in addition to considerably improving their quality of life by managing to remit diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia or sleep apnea Changes in lifestyle, sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical exercise and abandonment of the Mediterranean diet have led to an increase in overweight and obesity among the po[CENSORED]tion. The figures speak for themselves: Spain has 16.7% of its adult po[CENSORED]tion over 18 years with a Body Mass Index greater than 30 kg / m2; The EU average is 15.9%. Also, from 2008 to 2014, this percentage increased by 1% in Spain. It is worth mentioning a fact that, at least, is alarming, and since 1975, people who are overweight and obese have almost tripled worldwide. In 2016, more than 1900 million adults 18 and over were overweight, of which more than 650 million were obese. The consequences of obesity, also called the S.XXI epidemic, have associated serious health problems such as ischemic heart disease, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory failure, osteoarthritis, the appearance of certain types of tumors and type 2 diabetes. Precisely , obese people are at three times the risk of diabetes than people who are not obese. Diabetes, like obesity, can be cured with surgery and the data is clear: more than 80% of obese patients who undergo bariatric or metabolic surgery are no longer diabetic. Endoscopic surgery: intragastric balloon The intragastric balloon technique consists of a latex sphere filled with physiological serum that is placed endoscopically in the stomach under sedation and without the patient's admission. "Its main effect," explains Dr. Juan Antonio Casellas, specialist in endoscopic techniques of the Obesity Unit of Alicante, "is the decrease in stomach motility reducing the emptying time after food intake and causing, in most of cases, a feeling of early satiety during meals. " This technique is indicated in those patients who are overweight or the so-called type I obesity, that is to say that their BMI is less than 29 and that they have already tried to lose weight with diets previously and have not achieved results. According to different studies, the average loss of a patient with a balloon is between fourteen and sixteen kilos after six months. The specialist also warns that the weight loss achieved with an intragastric balloon is only permanent in those patients who have managed to change their eating and exercise habits in a sustained manner over time, without these two premises there is a high possibility of recovering the lost weight in less than three years, so Dr. Casellas recommends the continuous supervision of a team of professionals to maintain weight loss. Bariatric and metabolic surgery as a solution The disease that is most often associated with excess weight is type 2 diabetes, which appears in adults who are overweight and obese because the increase in body fat increases the resistance to the action of the insulin produced the pancreas, which has to work more than necessary in these cases, and eventually runs out. The association of type 2 diabetes with overweight-obesity is so consistent that it has led to the definition of the concept of diabetes. Bariatric and metabolic surgery prolongs the life of obese patients by ten years, in addition to considerably improving their quality of life by managing to remit diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension or dyslipidemia, and reducing the risk of tumors, especially of the colon or breast, according to Dr. Carlos Sala, specialist in the Obesity Unit of the Quirónsalud Hospitals Alicante and Valencia. Among the techniques that have demonstrated the most efficacy and safety to date are tubular gastrectomy and gastric bypass. "Both methods have already proven a low mortality, a small number of complications and a high efficiency in the resolution of diabetes and associated diseases," says the doctor. These interventions are performed laparoscopically, through minimally invasive surgery, which reduces pain and possible complications. The patient is prepared to leave the hospital 48 hours after the intervention. Both laparoscopic vertical gastrectomy and laparoscopic gastric bypass are effective against diabetes, which remits in 80-90% of patients, improving in the remaining 20%. however, the bypass seems more effective against hypertension and dyslipidemia. Both techniques also facilitate weight loss. Currently, the best and most promising is laparoscopic vertical gastrectomy or gastric tube, which reduces the volume of intake and also causes a metabolic effect correcting diabetes. Since 2014 it is the technique that is most performed in the world. It is very physiological because it does not produce malabsorption, avoiding nutritional deficits. It is indicated in patients with BMI between 35 and 45, with mild comorbidities, and with ease for dietary compliance. In patients with gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn) and severe esophagitis we preferably recommend bypass because it also corrects it. In addition to reducing the volume of intake they associate a controlled malabsorption. The best and most accepted of all bariatric techniques against morbid obesity is laparoscopic gastric bypass. The Gold Standard or Gold Standard Technique is considered against which the other techniques are compared. It is recommended, particularly, in patients eating candy, in patients with gastroesophageal reflux and esophagitis (heartburn), and in patients with Metabolic Syndrome. These types of techniques are especially indicated in the treatment of patients with a body mass index greater than 35 or even if it is lower but it causes serious associated diseases, such as diabetes with poor metabolic control, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia or obstructive apnea syndrome. of the dream These methods help reduce 70-80% of excess weight of obese patients and offer highly satisfactory results in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes, which allows them to completely abandon their medication, and prevents the onset of any type of associated disease.

Kim Song has stated that the "sustained and substantial dialogue" sought by Washington was a "time-saving trick" to adapt to its internal political agenda. The North Korean ambassador to the UN, Kim Song, said Saturday that the denuclearization of his country "is already off the table" in talks with the US, according to Reuters. "We don't need to have long conversations with the United States now and denuclearization is no longer at the negotiating table," the official said. Song also noted that the "sustained and substantial dialogue" sought by Washington was a "time-saving trick" to adapt to its internal political agenda, referring to the 2020 presidential elections in the US. Warning Exchange On Tuesday, North Korean Vice Chancellor Ri Thae Song recalled that the deadline for dialogue between the US and North Korea, which has repeatedly asked Washington to change its policy of demanding Pionyang's unilateral denuclearization and has urged relief from sanctions, is met at the end of this year. "What remains to be done now depends on the United States and it will be the decision of the United States which Christmas gift it will choose," Ri added. Previously, the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, warned that he could take an unspecified "new road" next year, causing speculation that it was the return to the nuclear bomb and long-range missile tests, suspended since 2017, according to Reuters. US President Donald Trump, on the other hand, has not shunned threats either. Although he did not threaten Kim Jong-un with "fire and fury" as he did in 2017, the White House tenant warned the North Korean leader on Tuesday that he does "have to use" all the Pentagon's power against Korea. North, it will. North Korea responded to this statement by announcing "preparations to face" possible US military actions. The chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, Pak Jong Chon, warned that US military actions they could lead to a "large-scale armed conflict" between the two nations and stressed that the use of force against North Korea will have "horrible" consequences for the US. US tension and North Korea Tensions on the Korean peninsula reached a peak of tension last year after Pionyang successfully tested a ballistic missile with a range long enough to reach the west coast of the United States. At that time, Trump threatened North Korea, but then changed his position and negotiated an agreement with Kim Jong-un that, in general, described a desire to denuclearize the region in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. However, that agreement has not yet translated into concrete steps.

The polarization that the automobile sector is experiencing affects a large part of its areas of action. Those that, in other times, were generalist firms, are forced to reposition themselves in the market. Some decide to reinvent themselves as low cost and others, however, aspire to more, to be premium. Something similar occurs in the superflow segment, although the gap is much smaller. In addition, between model and model, the status must be maintained. One of the firms that best marketing campaigns are doing is Aston Martin. The English house has just presented its latest development, the all-way DBX. However, he does not want the most select public to be dismissed and for that reason, he has decided to go one step further. For this, he has presented his last association, of course, with an English manufacturer of alcurnia. The issue is that it is not related to the engine, but to spirits. Aston Martin is no longer worth designing motorcycles Yes, your partner is the oldest distillery in Scotland (United Kingdom). His name is Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch and was founded in 1779. The purpose of this union is none other than to create an exclusive series of outstanding products and experiences for the clients of both firms. According to their supporters, they will show an appreciation shared by the most beautiful creations and extraordinary moments, revealing the values of both brands. To implement this goal, Bowmore will create exclusive bottlenecks. Through them, they will reflect the brand's commitment to heritage, but also to cutting-edge design and manufacturing techniques. With these exclusive packages, they seek to attract fans of both brands, as well as increase their customer base. Therefore, they look for lovers of beautifully crafted products and exceptional whiskeys. Andy Palmer, CEO of Aston Martin Lagonda has stated that… “This limited edition bottling series will be very special collector items for the whiskey connoisseur and Aston Martin enthusiast. As brands we have a lot in common. We both focus on pleasing our customers with exquisitely designed and beautifully crafted products, often producing limited edition specials that celebrate our heritage. Bowmore is a great British brand and, like Aston Martin, its employees are passionate about their work. I can't wait to taste the fruits of this collaboration between an innovative design and an elaborate product ” Finally, both Aston Martin and Bowmore agree not to encourage alcohol and driving. To do this, they will be very careful in getting their advertising to the selected customers.

Modifying certain habits in the office can make you lose size and break the sedentary lifestyle The arch-repeated weight loss formula is to combine a healthy and balanced diet with an active lifestyle that includes physical exercise. But what happens when we spend eight hours or more sitting in a chair? Sedentary lifestyle is one of the main causes of overweight in Western society. In fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), sedentary lifestyle is among the four factors with the highest risk of death. If we look closer, Spain is the fourth country in Europe with the highest po[CENSORED]tion rate that does not exercise, according to the European Heart Network. And in addition to work, leisure activities, such as watching TV or tablet, also involve a passive state. Sedentary lifestyle can cause not only overweight or obesity; also, heart problems, back pain, vision problems, diabetes ... How can I lose weight while working? Increase your NEAT Accelerating metabolism helps to burn calories and, therefore, lose weight. Doing sports is a great way to get it, but also increasing the basal metabolism, that is, consuming calories when we are at rest. Through the NEAT (Non-Exercice Activity Thermogenesis) we can increase the basal metabolism. Although it sounds very technical, it refers to those daily activities that we do and that affect the amount of calories we burn. Climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator or replacing the subway or bus with the bicycle or fast walking are activities that help increase the NEAT, and therefore burn calories. Work standing The nutritionist Miquel Gironès, one of the most po[CENSORED]r in social networks that accumulates thousands of followers in social networks, ensures that when you stand for several hours (either working or for any other circumstance), your metabolism is activated. Your body is working harder and that is why it is easier for you to lose fat. Try to do it for a few hours. Lift your computer or phone if you are in the office and work several hours standing. That will make your body working even if you don't leave the environment of your work life. You will also be getting tired and that will make you sleep better at night. And is that resting seven or eight hours in a row and quality a day is essential to lose weight. Smart wristbands Thanks to the so-called smart bracelets (and also with a simple mobile phone) you can get the device to notify you every hour and "force" you to move. Taking 100 steps at least every 60 minutes prevents sedentary lifestyle. Moving is the most important thing you can do during the day and if you manage to take 15,000 steps a day you can even lose weight or lose weight. Eat fat burning foods Food plays a key role in losing weight, but it is not necessary to starve or eat salads all day. Some natural foods help us to satiate ourselves more and speed up the metabolism, so we burn fat more easily. What are these foods? Broccoli, eggs, lean meat, nuts, quinoa, tomato, Greek yogurt, fish with omega 3 ... Also liquids such as coffee or water with lemon, are excellent natural and healthy fat burning foods. In this sense, it is better to take a tupper to eat at work with any of these options. In this way we avoid exceeding the calories we eat if we go to a restaurant and it helps us choose a more balanced and healthy menu. Exchange soda and alcohol for water at meals Do you eat with sugary soda or alcohol? If you do not choose the "zero" range of the first or choose well what alcoholic beverages you have to drink you will be adding too many calories to your diet (totally unnecessary). That will contribute to the most important of all: to lose weight in a healthy and healthy way and not to do so in such a radical way that in a short time you gain much more weight than you have lost. It is what is known as the dreaded "rebound effect".

The president of the chamber, Nancy Pelosi, has instructed her to present the accusation against the president for "seriously violating" the US Constitution. The president of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, announced on December 5 that she has instructed the Chamber's Judiciary Committee to write formal accusations of the political trial against the country's president, Donald Trump. "The actions of the president have seriously violated the Constitution," Pelosi said to reporters. "The facts are indisputable. The president abused his power for his own personal political benefit at the expense of our national security by retaining military aid and (a) crucial meeting of the Oval Office in exchange for an investigation announcement about his political rival." , Pelosi said in reference to Trump's alleged attempt to pressure Kiev to investigate Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Trump's reaction In response to Pelosi's announcement, the US president said that "this will mean that the impeachment act will be used routinely to attack future presidents." At the same time, the leader stressed that the process of political judgment is not what the founders of the US state "had in mind." In addition, Donald Trump expressed his conviction that Republicans will win the presidential elections to be held in November 2020, explaining that the party has never been more united than now. "We will win!" Summed up the president. Earlier this Thursday, Trump asked the House of Representatives Democrats to act quickly if they want to accuse him in the political trial they are promoting in order to "have a fair trial in the Senate" and that the country can move on. In a series of tweets published this morning, Trump has repeated his opinion that Democrats "don't have a case of political trial." "They are degrading our country," he accused. In addition, the president said that the Democrats "do not care" and "have gone crazy." Final report on the 'impeachment' These Trump statements come after disclosure by the US Congressional Intelligence Committee. on December 3 of the final report on the 'impeachment'. The document maintains that the president requested a foreign interference to increase his chances of being re-elected in the 2020 elections, undermining national security, and ordered an "unprecedented" campaign to obstruct Congress. The report is based on interviews with 17 witnesses carried out during two months of investigation. The investigation was initiated after the scandal around a phone call between Trump and the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelenski, in July and whose content was fully disclosed in September. The keys of the report The report is structured in two sections that are expected to form the basis for the Judicial Committee to invoke articles of political judgment. The first refers to Trump's alleged pressures on the Government of Ukraine to obtain electoral benefits, which the authors of the report call the president's "misconduct." This section details possible extortions by the head of state against Kiev to access to investigate the former vice president and current candidate for the US Presidency, Joe Biden. According to the report, Trump would have offered in exchange for that condition an exchange of favors - 'quid pro quo' - in which millions of dollars in frozen military funds for Ukraine would be released. The report states that multiple officers of the high ranking of Washington were complicit: from the secretary of state to the acting chief of staff, including the president's personal lawyer, to whom they attribute an essential role. The first section is expected to become a charge of abuse of power, while the second, which deals with an alleged intimidation of witnesses and a refusal to cooperate in the investigation, would result in a charge of obstruction of justice. This last section states that the Trump Administration not only refused to present documents or testimonies during the investigation, but that the president "publicly attacked and intimidated the witnesses who appeared to comply with the subpoenas," which constitutes a crime. federal.

My day began with a trip in Uber to Los Angeles airport in a Chrysler PT Cruiser that smelled like cigarettes and it felt as if its suspension consisted of cold hockey pucks. When I got off the plane in Washington, D.C., I looked for the exit waiting for another mediocre car to hit the hotel. But no! Instead, the good people of Cadillac received me, who transported us to three other journalists and me to the only Cadillac suitable for this job: the Escalade. The large and extravagant black vehicle had no trouble accommodating our luggage in its expansive cargo area; Being the newest car journalist in the group, I left the second row vacant and went straight back. The knee room was narrow but acceptable for my chubby legs, and my feet found a tiny home in the small alcove carved under the second row seat, but it was hard to ignore that we were riding in a body-on-frame SUV. Regardless of the crest on his forehead, the Escalade's walk was a bit stiff and baggy at the same time; In addition, the lever mounted on the column was taken directly from a Silverado. But for Cadillac, it is the only one of three rows in the flotilla. The Cadillac XT6, new for this year, is a three-row luxury SUV with a monocoque body, placed just below the Escalade and above the XT4 and XT5, which are smaller and five passengers. Its outer body is directly influenced by the impressive scale prototype; For us it is the Cadillac SUV series production with the best appearance. It does not suffer from the unfortunate proportions of the XT4 or the obsolete bubble appearance that the XT5 inherited from its predecessor, the SRX. The wide grille and slim LED headlights make up an aggressive front, while its square profile with flat sides looks utilitarian and maximizes the interior volume. Speaking of the interior, the XT6 was designed from scratch to have three rows of seats. In China (a basic market segment for the XT6) three-row vehicles are often responsible for transporting three generations of a family with grandparents behind, so the third row could not be a cheap addition. I am pleased to report that the third row is comfortable and spacious; much better than the Escalade. I, who measure 6 feet with 1 inch, could easily fit in the armchair of the second row and with the driver's seat positioned where I would have it to ride and drive comfortably. My head brushed against the ceiling, but there is much more room for the head than in the third row of the Kia Telluride in which I recently tried to get in. Also, the floor is nice and low in the XT6, so my knees didn't bump into my chin.

According to official data, 8,400 military personnel have been removed from the country's Armed Forces due to a disability. Many of those cases end in lawsuits against the Ministry of Defense. In the first installment of a series of reports that explore the chiaroscuro of one of the most relevant institutions of the Spanish State, its Armed Forces, one of its most bleak aspects is explored: the fate of the military who are separated from the ranks of the Army for suffering a disability. The voices of some of these people, victims of specific circumstances that prevented them from continuing to serve the Armed Forces, reveal severe problems of a medical, labor and legal nature with a common background: the apparent indifference of the military institution over its personal situations There is also a particularly disturbing aspect in some of the testimonies collected: some of these disability cases could have their origin in an act of service to the Army itself. "They take you away, they silence you" That is precisely what Ivan Ramos, a legionary who saved the life of a miracle in an accident in Afghanistan, in 2011. He broke 17 bones, lost the spleen and a kidney. Today he has more than 80% disability and strongly states that his life "is pain." "They took away my military status," says Ivan, who denounces that when something like this happens to you, "they take you away, they silence you." "There you stay. As if you were a cigarette butt. You're nobody," he laments. Currently, his main fight is the one he maintains against the Ministry of Defense. The Military Medical Court granted him only 24% disability, leaving him only one point of being entitled to a pension. In Social Security, however, he was diagnosed with 65% damage. After several years of litigation, which has led to considerable personal attrition, he has managed to return his status as a soldier and fully recognize his disability. However, they consider that they have not been paid what really corresponds to them. According to the figures of the Ministry of Defense corresponding to 2017, the cases of military under 65 expelled from the Army for different disabilities amount to 8,400. Among them is also the Encarna, which has gone through the operating room 22 times, after an accident occurred during military maneuvers. Now she is another ex-soldier judicially confronted with the Ministry of Defense. Encarna explains that, despite the serious physical damage she suffered, her captain did not want to evacuate her to the military headquarters in the first 72 hours. Now he has degenerative lesions in both his neck and legs, and they also opened a psychophysical file for which he would be expelled from the armed forces. "When I entered the Army, it was everything; now it is, for me, a mafia, a fraud," explains Encarna. Unequal criteria The criterion on the degree of severity of an injury can be very different depending on whether it is assessed from the civil administration or from the military. Sometimes, the percentage of disability granted by Social Security becomes up to three times greater than that granted by the army. The benefits received by a member of the Armed Forces are governed mainly by that degree of disability, which in their case will be determined by military health. Therefore, it is common for an accident or an attack suffered by a military man to end up in a lawsuit against the Ministry of Defense. The Spanish defense minister, Margarita Robles, in Paris (France) on July 14, 2019 In 2016, this executive department created a Disability Assistance Office within the Armed Forces. The RT team requested an interview with the ministry itself and the Spanish Association of Military and Civil Guard with Disabilities, but both were denied. In one of the last committees in Congress, the acting minister, the socialist Margarita Robles, sent a message to the families: "We have always tried to give them maximum personal help. If we have not done it on time or it has not been enough I apologize for that. " "A terrible facility to abandon you" Jonathan constantly has the feeling of stepping on crystals. His sciatic nerve was severely damaged after falling down stairs during maneuvers. Later, when he was working on his rehabilitation, he was expelled from the Army for suffering from an alleged depressive condition. After seven operations, this retired Navy sergeant struggles for the Military Court to recognize that his accident occurred during an act of service. "The institution to which we give our lives, our youth, has a terrible facility to abandon you when you no longer serve," Jonathan explains. The stories of these affected former military members agree that the Army was practically all his life. However, when an accident truncated their military future, they were forced to discover the other side of the armed forces.

We gain more confidence than men as we turn years, but we start in a worse position Trust is a matter of long travel. The data confirm that women gain more self-esteem than men as we turn years, although it is also true that we started in a worse position. This is the conclusion reached by Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman in an article published in June in the Harvard Business Review. The research carried out among 8,655 people, 44% men, reveals that women have less self-esteem and less security in ourselves than men until reaching 40 years. From then on, self-esteem is equated in both sexes. Women achieved our zenith at 60, managing to exceed the levels of confidence that men recognize at that age. Self-esteem changes over time, it depends on each person and the experiences lived, but if we analyze the graph we observe that this variation is much more pronounced in the female sex. In general terms, self-esteem in men increases by 8.5 percentage points from 25 to 61 years, while that of women increases by 29 points, three times more. It seems that, to us, the process of loving ourselves takes us a little longer, possibly due to excessive self-demand that moves to many areas of our lives, such as when applying for a vacancy in a company or a new position of work. "Men are hired for the expectations, women are hired for the results," explains Facebook CFO Sheryl Sandberg, based on her experience of hiring teams. The reason is due precisely to the different levels of self-esteem we have. In general, women need to be more sure that we meet all the requirements that are requested when we aspire to a position. We could say that we are more prudent. "Maybe I am not ready yet"; “I need to know more for what they are asking for”; or “Total, if they won't give it to me…”, are some of the comments that summarize what happens to us. Obviously, in every generalization there are exceptions, but this brake is usually more common among women, as Zenger and Folkman show. A trend that, personally, I have been observing for years in the programs of female talent in which I participate. Men do not seem to have so many reservations to take the plunge. They are more confident in their ability to learn the requirements they may lack. And it makes sense: the more faith you have in yourself, the more personal capacity you will express in the face of difficulties and in your possible learning. In conclusion, the art of learning to love oneself lasts a lifetime. Each person lives their own process, but it is a shame that women have such a low starting point. Not so much for comparison with men, but for ourselves. Our very hard self-demand prevents us from experiencing certain things, leads us to suffer from the impostor syndrome more often than men and makes us move worse in ambiguous negotiation environments that require high confidence, as recognized by Iris Bohnet, a professor at the University of Harvard The objective is to know the starting point, realize the improvement path we have and start working on it without delay for the simple pleasure of enjoying the advantages of believing in the same.

This was stated by the Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, while speaking at the University of Louisville about the region. The US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said Monday that Washington will help the "legitimate governments" of Latin America to prevent protests, which take place in various countries, "turn into uprisings." The official also denied that these riots reflect "the democratic will of the people", referring to countries where demonstrations have been recorded. Pompeo made these comments during a speech he gave at the University of Louisville, state of Kentucky, this Monday, December 2. These statements are given while there are po[CENSORED]r uprisings against neoliberal economic policies in Chile and Colombia, in addition to those registered last October in Ecuador; countries whose governments are US allies In addition, thousands of people protest in Bolivia against the de facto government of the self-proclaimed president Jeanine Áñez, whom the United States. He recognized as interim president of that country, and that he assumed power after the coup against President Evo Morales. Protesters respond to security forces in Valparaíso, Chile, November 12, 2019. Although the demonstrations in Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador have been plagued with allegations of repression and all have been reported dead, Pompeo said the state response reflects the "character of legitimate democratic governments." The official stated that US policy in Latin America it is based on "moral and strategic clarity", which means that Washington "cannot tolerate" the regimes it considers unsatisfactory in the region. In this sense, he justified that the US may participate in riot efforts, noting that his country represents the "greatest example of democracy in the history of the world." Cuba and Venezuela, the inciters According to Pompeo, in accordance with the speeches offered by the authorities of these countries, Cuba and Venezuela are behind those who incite violence and disturbances in these territories.
