The author argued the sums would be pocket change for a few people and said Musk would be remembered with more love for doing so than for anything else he did.

David Alandete wrote that Álvaro Pulido, a partner of Alex Saab, was in the custody of the United States and subject to judicial proceedings. According to Alandete, Pulido faced 13 charges in two cases for money laundering, related to schemes amounting to almost 2 billion dollars, bribery, and fraud in operations involving housing, food, and medicine for Venezuelans. He added that Pulido would appear before a judge on Tuesday and argued that this would allow for judgment in the 2019 case, regarding the facts for which Joe Biden pardoned Saab. #Venezuela #Corrupción #Justicia (translated)

Gustavo Petro criticized a senator's attitude towards Guillermo Alfonso Jaramillo during a police promotion event to which, he said, the minister had been invited. He also stated that the senator had asked Jaramillo to leave the Senate chamber, despite Petro's belief that he should have been awarded the Cruz de Boyacá, a distinction he claimed to have granted him. Petro attributed improvements in citizens' perceptions of the Police to his government and said that 17,000 patrol officers had been promoted to subinspectors, that their salaries had been increased, and that officers linked to alias Pitufo had been removed from the institution. He added that Jaramillo had pushed for improvements in healthcare for police officers and their families and contributed to building the hospital in southern Bogotá. He claimed that Abelardo had returned the Police's medications to the Char clan. The president maintained that during his government, thefts and domestic violence had decreased and linked this reduction to lower poverty and hunger rates and an increase in the minimum vital wage. He also stated that improvement in economic conditions strengthened families. Petro asked when police and farmers had been seen uprooting coca crops on thousands of hectares planted during Iván Duque's government. He said that trust between the two groups was key to taking Colombia out of drug trafficking. Finally, he accused Abelardo of handing 16 key positions in different branches of the Government to people from his own office to facilitate the massive return of goods seized through asset forfeiture. Petro argued that this situation suggested the construction of a "mafia state" capable of unleashing another Colombian holocaust. #PolíticaColombiana #DerechosHumanos #Progreso (translated)

Gustavo Petro criticized the Minister of Agriculture for talking about stopping rice cultivation and called the proposal miserable for the Colombian people. He argued that rice was nutritious and that the country should move towards food self-sufficiency. He warned that a fall in the peso, a mega-drought, and rising food prices would increase hunger. He also stated that the Ibagué plateau had rice yields similar to those of the United States. Petro said he had proposed a "rice route" that would include cooperative mills owned by producers, cheap credit, cooperation with Chinese universities to improve techniques and productivity, tariff protection, and the expansion of rice-growing areas. He also suggested building the road between Ayapel, San Marcos, and Magangué, deepening agrarian reform in Magangué and southern Bolívar, and allowing water to flow in La Mojana. He asserted that Colombia should produce more cereals and replace extensive livestock farming on 15 million hectares of fertile land with food agriculture in the hands of peasant farmers and small and medium producers. He added that cashew production was important, but not as a substitute for rice-growing areas: he proposed cultivating it in low-productivity livestock areas, as a voluntary alternative to coca leaf crops and in the Colombian altillanura. Petro linked the minister's announcement about rice production to land burning in Tolima due to human action and to what he described as the idea of Abelardo and Restrepo of substituting production and intensive labor for hydrocarbon extraction and activities with less employment. https://t.co/zB0X6wz13i #Arroz #AutosuficienciaAlimentaria #ProducciónAgrícola (translated)

Gustavo Petro criticized the minister of agriculture's stance on discontinuing rice cultivation, calling it harmful to the Colombian population. He argued that rice was nutritious and that Colombia should move towards food self-sufficiency. He added that a decline in the peso, a mega-drought, and rising food prices could exacerbate hunger. Petro stated that the productivity of rice in the Ibagué plateau was similar to that of the United States. He said he had proposed a "rice route" that would include cheap credit, protective tariffs, and the expansion of rice-growing areas. He also suggested that producers become cooperative owners of mills, as in Zulia, Norte de Santander; promote an agreement with Chinese universities to improve techniques and productivity; build the road between Ayapel, San Marcos, and Magangué; deepen agrarian reform in Magangué and southern Bolívar; and allow water flow in the Mojana. Petro defended increasing the production of cereal foods and proposed replacing extensive livestock farming on 15 million hectares of fertile land with food agriculture led by peasants and small and medium-sized producers. https://t.co/zB0X6wz13i #AgriculturaColombia #SoberaníaAlimentaria #ProducciónDeAlimentos (translated)

My stupid recipe, Doctor Restrepo, achieved the highest employment rate, the lowest rates of hunger and poverty of the 21st century, and some of the highest levels of per capita income in the last quarter of my government in the entire history of Colombia. You and Abelardo today, just as you did in Duque's government during the first month of his administration, shot up unemployment almost to the double-digit figures that you handed over to my government. That's called a step back! It's unfortunate that a part of the Colombian electorate believes that Colombia's destiny is to go backward. Again the IMF, again over-indebtedness that you promoted, Dr. Restrepo, by giving subsidies to the rich and imposing a gasoline subsidy paid with the budget. These days, that is called economic ignorance and anachronism. I propose my support from the opposition to make a great agreement for the equitable progress of Colombia. What allowed us to have the best social economic figures of the century was: 1. Leaving hydrocarbon extraction and moving to real production in industry, commerce, and tourism. Prioritizing production, that is, the transformation of materials to make other materials for a good life for people, automatically raises employment levels and overall productivity. 2. Raising the minimum wage every year to the level of the vital basket for a family. This was demanded by the social doctrine of the Catholic Church in the encyclical "Rerum Novarum" by Leo XIII, and you, as a fervent Catholic, should apply it. In that encyclical and in that of Francis I about the "common home," and in that of Leo XIV about "a dignified Humanity," you would find a comprehensive agreement with the progressivism I lead. 3. A leading role of the state in the economy in strategic matters such as tariffs for industrialization, abundant and cheap credit for small and medium-sized industries, cheap credit for industry, food production, exports, and zero-interest credit for any national industry that produces an increase in Colombia’s computational capacity, energy, and railroads. 4. Leading the decarbonization of the economy through a 100% clean electricity generation matrix, replacing the prohibitively expensive gas with extremely cheap and abundant solar energy in Colombia. Remember that in my government I managed to increase growth in the four years by 500% in the naval industry and 200% in the electric automotive industry. 5. Redistributing another million hectares among farmers and doubling food production in the country to lower the prices of the family basket and increase real wages. You and we can lower the interest rate set by the Board of the Bank of the Republic by configuring another majority in the board that is friendly to production and work. 5. And if you don’t want, Mr. Restrepo, to reach agreements given the mind-numbing sectarianism that predominates, then just remember my advice: work and nature are the sources of wealth, and in Colombia, the real wage as an expression of the value of work allows the expansion of the internal market, both formal and informal, and increases the number of companies and workforce. When the country decides to return to legitimate institutions, it might be too late for you, but these will be the economic bases already experienced with positive data for a national agreement. #EconomíaColombiana #Progreso #DesarrolloSostenible (translated)
