The spokesman stated that AySA had been privatized that day for US$ 340 million. He argued that Néstor Kirchner had nationalized it 20 years earlier with the argument of recovering water sovereignty and used an insult related to his mental health. He also claimed that Argentines had paid US$ 13.4 billion in taxes to finance subsidies, waste, salaries of employees who, according to him, did not work, price gouging by contractors, and a looting by officials that he described as outrageous. #AySA #privatización #Argentina (translated)

David Alandete pointed out that in the United States one in three people lived on rent, compared to one in five in Spain, and that an eviction for non-payment could be executed in just two weeks. He added that there were aid and subsidies, but maintained that there were no encampments in Times Square or drumming sessions, and accused the government of using an isolated case to stay in power. #Alquiler #Vivienda #Desahucios (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)

This is very serious: US$ 1 MILLION AGAINST THE STF Revealed campaign from the Trump government. The government of Donald Trump allocated US$ 1 million to finance a campaign against the STF in Brazil. The revelations were published this Thursday by the British newspaper The Guardian, which points out how resources originally intended by the US for the global human rights agenda were redirected to the interests of the American far right. According to the report, a US$ 1 million grant titled "Combating Lawfare and Censorship in Brazil" would finance civil society groups that oppose what is described as excessive judicial action and censorship by the Supreme Court of Brazil. "The Trump administration imposed sanctions on Brazilian minister Alexandre de Moraes last year, following pressure from Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of the former president," the article recalled. According to the newspaper, a Democratic congressional aide stated that a senator from the Foreign Relations Committee, Jeanne Shaheen, had maintained the blockage of ten disbursements totaling US$ 22 million, intended for projects in Brazil, South Africa, and Nigeria, as well as for promoting a right-wing ideology in the UK and Europe. This week, Shaheen sent a letter to the Trump administration to denounce interference in the Brazilian election and demand the White House recognize the election results in the country. "Throughout President Trump's second term, we observed US authorities engaged in a campaign of interference and destabilization in Brazil," the senator said in the document. "This effort intensified dramatically during the summer of 2025, when the Administration imposed targeted tariffs and sanctions in an attempt to influence the verdict of the Brazilian Supreme Court in the trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro, accused of attempting to foment a military coup to remain in power," she stated. According to the aide consulted by the newspaper, Secretary of State Marco Rubio had personally signed a memorandum to ignore the senator's blockages and authorize the allocation of funds. Destabilizing the STF For observers and diplomats, destabilizing the STF has become a priority for the Brazilian and foreign far right. The movement sees the institution as a brake on implementing an ultra-conservative project in the country and regaining freedom of action on all fronts. The money comes from the Fund for Human Rights and Democracy, created to finance Trump's conservative agenda around the world and, according to its critics, to attack any form of opposition. "The largest disbursement, totaling US$ 40 million, was allocated to a consortium led by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) — a non-profit anti-communist organization that, in the past, had received much lower amounts in grants," the report indicated. A background check document from the Department of State, consulted by The Guardian, records previous contracts between the foundation and the agency totaling US$ 96,997 in the last five years — all in the fiscal year 2022 — and notes that the organization underwent a check in 2019 related to tickets for the foundation's gala event. The document also identifies Andrew Bremberg — former domestic policy advisor to the White House during the Trump administration and former US ambassador to the UN office in Europe — as a "senior leader" of the foundation.

Recognition of our Black, Afro-Colombian, Raizal, and Palenquera communities is not through speeches of compassion or welfare subsidies: it is through respect, real opportunities, and the acknowledgment of all that they have built for the homeland. In the era of the Tiger, I break with the false equation between identity and lack, connecting the Pacific with investment, excellent education, and business, while we combat with all the strength of the State against the terrorists who intend to subjugate our people. I will ensure that every resource reaches its destination and will rigorously punish the corrupt who seek to profit from the needs of the people. As a provincial and a son of the Caribbean, I understand the struggle against prejudice and assure you that the Miracle Homeland is built with freedom, property, security, and merit in every corner of the national territory. Firm for the Homeland! Long live Christ the King! (A.D.L.E.) 🇨🇴🐅 #DiversidadCultural #Oportunidades #Respeto (translated)

PRESUPUESTO DE ABELARDO DE LA ESPRIELLA PIDE CORTAR SUBSIDIOS A LOS POBRES EN 40% “La conclusión es que la caída de la inversión les pega a los subsidios de energía, pobreza y vivienda que buscan ayudar a los más pobres”. https://t.co/d68kPsZWyW #Economía #Pobreza #Subsidios

O artigo discute a preocupação de que o Estado possa estar a criar uma dependência excessiva de subsídios, o que diminui os incentivos à poupança, além de abordar a falta de fiscalização na habitação e a imagem da Polícia Judiciária em relação à Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito. #subsídios #política #CPI

O governo Trump cortou ou congelou 153 mil milhões de euros em subsídios federais, afetando áreas como saúde, nutrição e assistência em casos de catástrofes, com os maiores impactos registados na Califórnia, Texas, Nova Iorque, Illinois e Carolina do Norte. #EUA #GovernoTrump #Subsídios

El Chocó lleva décadas acumulando diagnósticos, estudios archivados y promesas que nunca salieron del papel. Hoy vine a Quibdó a cambiar esa historia. No vamos a responder a la tragedia del sismo con un programa asistencialista que reparta subsidios y después abandone el territorio hasta la próxima emergencia. La verdadera solidaridad no genera dependencia: emancipa, transforma y crea las condiciones para que una región produzca, crezca y prospere. Por eso, en la Cumbre Empresarial para la Transformación del Chocó y la Reconstrucción del País, pusimos en marcha el Plan Marshall para el Chocó, uniendo al Gobierno y a grandes empresarios de Colombia alrededor de compromisos concretos. Aseguramos la financiación del Malecón de Quibdó; $5.000 millones de capital semilla para 1.000 emprendedores damnificados; $1 billón para infraestructura vial y conectividad aérea; y los estudios para avanzar en el Canal Interoceánico. A esto se suman 100 becas para jóvenes con Nutresa, inclusión financiera con Nubank, fortalecimiento del turismo con la Fundación Santo Domingo, compras directas a productores chocoanos con Olímpica, incentivos para atraer empresas e industria al departamento y una gerencia especial en el Fondo Patria Milagro para vigilar la ejecución y cuidar cada peso. El Chocó no nació para vivir condenado a la pobreza. Tiene riqueza, talento y una posición estratégica extraordinaria. Lo que durante décadas faltó fue convertir ese potencial en oportunidades reales para su gente. Con inversión, empresa, infraestructura, autoridad y trabajo, vamos a levantar al Chocó desde sus raíces y convertirlo en motor de desarrollo para Colombia. ¡Firme por la patria! ¡Viva Cristo Rey!

Acabo de leer que ayer fue presentada denuncia penal contra el ex ministro German Avila y otros ex funcionarios por presentación del presupuesto 2027 con cifras fraudulentas, y por omitir Partidas deliberadamente de gastos y subsidios que era obligación incluir en el presupuesto y se metieron deliberadamente debajo del tapete de la impostura fiscal. Ojalá esta denuncia prospere: La sociedad requiere de datos fidedignos y transparentes para tomar decisiones democráticas. Y los responsables del manejo y divulgación de las cifras fiscales tienen la obligación de trabajar con cifras auténticas y verdaderas: de lo contrario se engaña a la sociedad como un todo. #Transparencia #Presupuesto #Justicia
