Protestors in Kyiv chanting “Federov, Federov” This isn’t just about one man’s job. It’s another battle in the war for 🇺🇦’s future, fought between the defenders/profiteers of the corrupt Soviet legacy vs. the new innovative, democratic technocratic Ukraine https://t.co/YS7vTaaPMR #KyivProtests #Ukraine #SovietLegacy #UA

Respetada Jennifer, el debate no es si los escoltas tienen formación o no; es que ustedes tienen escoltas justamente porque la gravísima situación de inseguridad del país - que padecemos desde hace muchos décadas - los hace necesarios. El problema de fondo entonces es que, mientras ustedes gozan de esos escoltas y carros blindados (en muchísimos casos, no es el suyo, de manera injustificada, y solo por estatus) el 99% de los colombianos no tiene derecho a la legítima defensa, justamente frente a un fenómeno de altísima criminalidad que deja anualmente - en promedio - más de 1.500 personas asesinadas en atracos a mano armada. Y otras miles heridas. Mi punto central es la coherencia en el debate: si ustedes necesitan escoltas fuertemente armados y camionetas blindadas, ¿por qué el resto de colombianos - que no tiene acceso a esos escoltas y camionetas blindadas - no puede acceder a un mecanismo de legítima defensa como es el portar armas legales, supervisadas y controladas por el Estado? Debo decirlo, como lo he dicho muchas veces, nunca he disparado un arma ni me interesa, pero sí creo que la legítima defensa - ante la inoperancia, la ineficacia y la ausencia del Estado para proteger a los ciudadanos - debe poder hacerse con, incluso, armas de fuego legales. La coherencia sería que, si ustedes consideran que el Estado sí es eficaz y tiene la capacidad para proteger a todos los colombianos y, por lo tanto, los ciudadanos no necesitan tener un arma legal para defenderse, entonces ustedes no necesitan escoltas ni carros blindados. En teoría suena bonito que el Estado tenga el monopolio absoluto de las armas, en la práctica en Colombia durante décadas ese monopolio no ha existido y las armas las tienen por miles también los criminales de todas las condiciones, incluso armas de guerra. #Colombia #Inseguridad #LegítimaDefensa

Soy el Único que Piensa que Marruecos puede Clasificarse Hoy??? Francia nombre por nombre tiene muchísimo mejor Equipo. En teoría debería de Clasificar hoy. Pero para los marroquies este partido significa Demasiado también… Yo creo q no sera fácil para Francia, y Marruecos saldrá a defenderse, a pegar y al contragolpe, así como les jugó Paraguay, y la verdad es q solo con un Penal pudieron abrir la lata. Sin espacios es muy difícil generar fútbol y a eso le apostará el equipo marroquí, intentar meter 1 y defenderse. #Mundial2023 #Marruecos #Francia

🚨Ståle Solbakken on Andreas Schjelderup after coming off the bench and providing two assists for Erling Haaland as Norway eliminated Brazil from the FIFA World Cup: 🎙️ Reporter: “What makes Andreas Schjelderup such a special player?” 🗣️ Ståle Solbakken: “People always talk about Andreas after he changes a game. I see those qualities every single day. Some players wait for the game to open up. Andreas opens it himself. That’s why I brought him on. I knew Brazil were beginning to tire, and I knew his intelligence, his movement and his quality on the ball would create problems. He came onto the pitch and did exactly what we expected. Two assists for Erling Haaland against Brazil in a World Cup knockout match. You cannot ask for more than that. What impressed me wasn’t just the assists. It was his understanding of Erling. Sometimes Andreas watches Erling walking… then jogging… and people think he’s having a quiet game. Andreas knows that’s exactly what Erling wants. The moment defenders think Erling has disappeared, that’s usually when he appears. Erling doesn’t spend the whole game chasing the ball. He waits for the ball to come into his world. Andreas understands that better than almost anyone. For the first goal, he knew exactly where Erling would be before anyone else did. He played the pass without hesitation because he trusted his striker. Then the second one… Erling barely looked involved. One touch. One finish. Suddenly everyone remembered why he’s one of the greatest goalscorers in the world. That’s the chemistry you cannot coach. You either have it or you don’t. The dressing room believes in Andreas because they’ve seen him produce moments like this over and over again. Tonight, the whole football world saw why we have so much confidence in him. #FIFAWC #AndreasSchjelderup #ErlingHaaland

Statement on the Future of Jammu & Kashmir ( Under Pakistan Occupation) and the 28th Constitutional Amendment I firmly believe that if Pakistan genuinely seeks peace, stability, and democratic governance in the territories under its administration, including so-called Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, it must immediately withdraw the 28th Constitutional Amendment and refrain from any measures that further undermine the political, administrative, and territorial integrity of the region. Any attempt to alter the constitutional status of these territories without the free, prior, and informed consent of their people is contrary to democratic principles and the universally recognized right of peoples to determine their own political future. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are not merely subjects of administrative decisions; they are stakeholders whose voices, aspirations, and rights must be respected. The reported efforts to restructure, divide, or trifurcate the region are deeply concerning. Such actions risk creating further political instability, social unrest, and mistrust among the population. The territorial unity and historical identity of Jammu and Kashmir must not be compromised through unilateral constitutional or administrative measures imposed from above. Peace cannot be achieved through coercive policies, excessive securitization, suppression of dissent, communication restrictions, or the curtailment of civil and political freedoms. Sustainable peace can only emerge through democratic dialogue, respect for fundamental human rights, transparency, accountability, and meaningful participation of the people in decisions affecting their future. The recent developments in Rawalakot and other districts have already heightened tensions and raised serious concerns regarding civil liberties, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, and the treatment of peaceful political activists. Instead of imposing constitutional changes and expanding centralized control, the authorities should engage constructively with local communities, political organizations, civil society groups, and human rights defenders. International human rights standards, including the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and international human rights instruments, emphasize the importance of participation, representation, and respect for the wishes of the people. Any constitutional arrangement affecting the future of Jammu and Kashmir should be based on democratic consultation and broad public consensus rather than unilateral imposition. I therefore call upon the Government of Pakistan to: 1. Immediately withdraw the 28th Constitutional Amendment. 2. Abandon any plans aimed at the trifurcation or fragmentation of Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. 3. Respect the democratic and political rights of the people. 4. End policies of intimidation, collective punishment, and restrictions on peaceful political activity. 5. Ensure unrestricted access to essential commodities, healthcare services, communication networks, and humanitarian assistance. 6. Initiate an inclusive dialogue with all genuine stakeholders, including representatives of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. 7. Allow independent national and international human rights observers to assess the situation on the ground. The future of Jammu and Kashmir cannot be determined through force, constitutional engineering, or administrative decrees. Lasting peace, stability, and prosperity will only be possible when the rights, dignity, and aspirations of the people are placed at the center of all political processes. No trifurcation. No unilateral constitutional changes. Respect the will of the people and uphold democratic principles.

His name is Alfonso Sánchez and he is the manager of the Municipal Transport Company with Almeida. Today he has been charged with irregularly hiring a private office for €60,000 to defend himself in the case of the direct subsidy to OKDiario from Eduardo Inda, which was dismissed by Judge Peinado.

Zapata decided to defend himself politically, to defend his character as if he were not in the National Court. I find it hard to believe that he was not aware that this strategy dragged his daughters and his secretary to where they are today. (translated)

A senior official of Almeida is charged for allocating 60,000 euros to defend himself against the complaint filed by the editor of 'Okdiario' that Peinado dismissed. It is the case of the direct contract with the editor of 'Okdiario'. (translated)

Rosa Díez Jun 18

Yesterday before the Judge, he already demonstrated that he had decided to save himself politically before his sect rather than defend himself legally against the serious crimes he is accused of. He left his daughters intentionally exposed; and this is the result. (translated)
