The author wrote that all sectors were asking for protection because they considered themselves strategic. According to him, this meant passing the costs onto taxpayers through higher prices, while the State or the EU could have subsidized families to counter inflation. He concluded by noting that, in this context, people continued to talk about competitiveness nonetheless. #economia #politica #competitività #IT #EU (translated)

Bea Talegón stated that a fragment from the *Horizonte* program on Monday, September 28, was being used misleadingly. She explained that in the segment they celebrated an agreement between the homeowner and Maricarmen's lawyer, which would allow her to return to her home paying the same rent as before. Talegón said that after learning about the agreement, she asked if the decrees would still bear Maricarmen's name and that the comment "See you later, Maricarmen" referred to the decrees, not to the woman. She accused those disseminating the fragment of deliberately manipulating what happened and promoting hate, and she described it as regrettable that the acting minister Oscar Puente participated in it. https://t.co/jQuFYnQzBC #Manipulación #Verdad #OdioInaceptable (translated)

Victor Garcia stated that the hourly wage would be R$ 7.37, based on the minimum wage. He wrote that someone working 44 hours a week and earning R$ 1,621 could work an additional five hours a day — 30 extra hours a week — and earn about R$ 884 for approximately 120 additional hours in the month. According to Garcia, this would allow the employer to get practically the work of another employee for half of a minimum wage, possibly through hiring as a legal entity (PJ). He advocated for the end of the CLT. #SalárioMínimo #Trabalho #DireitosTrabalhistas (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that some airlines intended to apply the U.S. OFAC law in Colombia due to his ties with Colombian individuals. He asserted that this legislation did not apply in Colombian territory and that for it to do so, the country would need to change its Constitution through a Constituent Assembly. Petro said that OFAC had stopped focusing on drug traffickers and that, according to him, people opposed to the genocide in Gaza were included on its lists. He claimed that he was sanctioned for his speech before the UN and for asking for the formation of a United Nations army to defend Gaza, which would include the Colombian battalion deployed in Sinai to protect Palestinian children. He also accused the DEA of spending a year searching for and fabricating evidence regarding alleged links of his with drug trafficking. He said that drug traffickers whom he himself extradited, and who he claimed wanted to kill him, were the ones who believed those accusations. He maintained that Colombian drug trafficking had political influence, but that it was not found in progressivism, which, according to him, the narcos had pursued and attacked. Petro accused drug trafficking of supporting extreme right-wing ideas and stated that Colombian drug traffickers had access to the White House while poor farmers and people transporting small amounts of drugs through the Caribbean were being pursued. He added that drug traffickers with judicial agreements in the United States were moving shipments in submarines and had fleets of planes, and asserted that cocaine traveled in containers from companies of presidents who met with Donald Trump. Finally, Petro claimed that alias Fito contradicted journalist Vicky by saying he did not know him and that, instead, he was a friend and partner of the person who accused him. #Colombia #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaSocial (translated)

Martin Varsavsky stated that Pedro Sánchez had called for general elections on November 29, which, as he wrote, represented the third electoral advance. He also noted that the legislature was ending without new budgets and without any debate on the state of the nation. Varsavsky linked the call to the Congress's rejection, on Friday, of two housing decrees from the government, with the votes of PP, Vox, and Junts. He argued that in Moncloa they believed that social discontent could give them an opportunity and that the plan was to recover the measures and campaign with them. The author indicated that the decrees included mandatory extensions of leases and limited rent increases to 2% until the end of 2027. He added that, at the proposal of Sumar, they included mandatory renewals of five or seven years and a compensation of twelve monthly payments if the owner did not renew the contract. By way of comparison, Varsavsky cited Argentina's Rental Law of 2020. He asserted that the supply of apartments in Buenos Aires hit its historic low in February 2023 and that Javier Milei repealed the law in December of that year. According to his figures, in 2024 the supply increased by 195% and rents rose by 64%, against inflation close to 118%; for this reason, he stated that in real terms they fell for the first time since 2019. Varsavsky argued that if landlords could not reclaim their homes or update rents, they would withdraw them from the rental market or allocate them to seasonal rentals, which reduced the supply and made flats more expensive. He added that the young people camping in Sol were the ones who suffered the most. He also suggested that the elections would decide between more control and more supply, and mentioned land, permits, and construction as ways to increase it. #Elecciones2023 #Vivienda #Política (translated)
