My thoughts are with their families and loved ones during this moment of profound sorrow. Several people were injured and transported to the hospitals in Lucca, Versilia, and Pisa. To the woman transferred in critical condition to the hospital in Pisa and to all the injured, including the children involved, I wish a speedy recovery. Our Social Services offices have immediately activated to provide support and assistance to the evacuated families. A total of nine rescue vehicles were deployed.

The magazine TROISCOULEURS has released a report on GTA 6 with impressions from the demo and an interview with Rob Nelson 🔥🔥 ▫️ Vice City will be twice the size of Los Santos. ▫️ The game will start in the Cayo de Leonida. After progressing through the first part of the story, the map will open up, and we will be able to move freely within it. ▫️ There will be a huge number of accessible buildings. Rob Nelson assures that we will be able to enter many interiors. ▫️ Interactivity will be superior to GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. There will be activities like diving, gym, hair salons, heists, interactions with NPCs, and social media. ▫️ The game will have RPG elements. Our actions can influence the relationship between Lucia and Jason; we can spend time together, take care of each other, and decide whether we want to play as more professional criminals or completely chaotic ones. ▫️ The police system will be smarter. Police will be able to remember details like our clothes, and it will be possible to evade them using vehicles or by not letting them see us change situations. ▫️ Cash can be lost. There will be physical money and money in the bank; if we die before depositing it, we may lose it. ▫️ Heists and events will be more unpredictable. Shopkeepers, customers, police, and other NPCs may react in different ways each time. ▫️ NPCs may also be armed and violent. The player will not be the only one capable of provoking dangerous situations. ▫️ Traffic will change depending on the time of day. During the demo, the same road had much more traffic during rush hour. ▫️ Shelters will be real homes. They will not just be places to save the game, but spaces where Lucia and Jason can spend time and live everyday moments. ▫️ Social media will be very important. Rockstar wants to satirize influencers, streamers, viral challenges, and today's digital culture. ▫️ Rockstar wants GTA 6 to function as a time capsule. The idea is that in 10 or 20 years we can return to the game and remember how our era was, from influencers and streamers to trends and internet absurdities. ▫️ Transitions between city, suburbs, and countryside will be very natural. The journalist claims they barely noticed when moving from one area to another. ▫️ Gameplay and cutscenes will be much more connected. In some scenes, we will still have partial control of the character while the narrative continues. ▫️ Rockstar wants a much more dynamic world. NPCs, police, traffic, events, and heists will be able to combine to create different situations in each playthrough. It is undoubtedly the most comprehensive report I have read so far about GTA 6. Everything points to us being on the brink of something huge. Its release will be at a historic event for the industry. (translated)

Licensed, Ricardo, do you think that the more poor people are taken out of poverty, the more clientelism is created? No man, it’s the other way around, the more people are left in poverty, the more clientelism and violence there will be. In my government in Santa Marta, there was less poverty than ever, the capital that reduced poverty the most in four years in all of Colombia, we managed to make it a center of world tourism and left the construction of the desalination plant for drinking water financed and ready for delivery. I see the bidding for the desalination plant is suspended and a great drought is coming in two months. I call on the citizen forces of Santa Marta to fight for drinking water and peace. The extortionist organizations and drug traffickers of Santa Marta began their construction in the Sierra Nevada half a century ago with the marijuana boom, marijuana should never have been prohibited in the world, but the prohibition left entire family clans murdered among themselves in Magdalena and La Guajira. They always thought of violence and not of the people until they organized the paramilitarism of Giraldo with the drug trafficking of cocaine who delivered all the votes to the far-right political class of Santa Marta until I publicly denounced it and they went to jail; paramilitarism is the direct origin of the "Conquerors of the Sierra". In the banana zone, the city of Santa Marta, the south of Magdalena, the plains of Santángel, the massacre of Pueblo Viejo, the massacre of the banana workers, has shed more blood than that against Gabriel García Marquez in his "One Hundred Years of Solitude". In the building where the Colombian army was located, which under ultra-conservative and American orders, murdered three thousand workers from the banana plantations in 1928, today there is, thanks to my government, a public and free university for Caribbean youth. My government started a socio-legal dialogue with "the Conquerors of the Sierra" and we managed to obtain their will for total dismantling and delivering their leaders to the DEA, which the DEA did not accept. The prosecutor refused collective submission, arguing that the law does not provide for collective submission, only individual, and now I see that Abelardo is promoting it in Congress in the bill of Minister Cancino and I agree with the idea. But putting only violence without socio/legal dialogue only brings more violence and poverty. The intention to dismantle the policy of the vital minimum wage and reduce the subsidy to single mothers by 40% to feed their children and the elderly is nothing more than handing society over to the mafias. Instead of going with a gun at his belt, which he will not use, Abelardo should go to deliver the desalination plant, the public property megadatacenter of Colombia, which will become impossible if he sells to ISA because ISA owns Internexa, which in turn owns the project, and he must bring the prosecutor's office to finalize the negotiation for the definitive dismantling of "Conquerors of the Sierra". The army must rebuild the high mountain battalion in the Sierra and the police must strengthen the first mounted police company that I already started in the Tayrona natural park which I reopened publicly. It would be foolish to see a state that fights with violence against "Conquerors of the Sierra" only for the Gulf Clan to take over the Sierra and the north of the Caribbean. Santa Marta and the Sierra Nevada are the heart of the world. (translated)

Do you know where Ana Vázquez downloaded the pepper spray? In the bathrooms of the Congress!! They should lock her up. After the incident in the chamber, the police sealed off the bathrooms of the Congress and other nearby areas in one of the buildings after she sprayed a toxic spray in that area. A delegation from Mauritania, who had tried to use those bathrooms, rushed out, and even a woman had to leave with severe symptoms. In the following minutes, it was confirmed that the strong smell spread to the kitchens! The situation could be dangerous for people with respiratory problems. Really, are they so out of their minds in the PP to have such a deranged woman? (translated)

Behind the multimillion-dollar lease contract for the JEP headquarters, there is something that doesn't add up. Even though the construction company GAP SAS, owner of the "Torre Squadra" building, recorded in the deed and the certificate of freedom and tradition in 2020 that the construction cost $20.975 million, the JEP has paid $114.202 million between 2020-2026 for its lease. An average of $16.314 million annually. In other words, with what the JEP has paid for the lease all these years, 5 buildings of this nature could have been purchased. What was the technical justification for opting for a lease instead of a purchase that would have considerably reduced operation costs? Furthermore, the JEP carried out this contracting under private law, that is to say, handpicked, as that was one of the gifts given by the Santos government in Article 118 of the Statutory Law of the JEP. Without any technical justification, the JEP is not required to hold tenders and contracts with whomever it wants. What is behind this multimillion-dollar lease contract? (translated)
