Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Ukraine launched a massive long-range drone attack against St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region overnight. According to his post, the impacts hit a oil terminal and the main data center of VKontakte, as well as causing fires in several districts. He added that regional authorities reported the downing of dozens of drones and that restrictions at Pulkovo Airport delayed or canceled at least 46 flights. Montes de Oca noted that the terminal had an annual capacity of about 12.5 million tons and was an important point for transporting fuels via the Baltic and supplying the Russian fleet that exported crude oil. Although, according to him, the damage only affected part of the facilities, he stated that the fire in tanks and pumping systems temporarily suspended 100% of loading operations. He estimated that repairs would reduce Russian logistical capacity to export diesel by 15% to 20% for several weeks. Regarding VKontakte, which according to Montes de Oca had over 95 million active monthly users, the author stated that the data center provided communication, video, and access to public platforms, and was also integrated into state systems for education, health, and e-government. He added that NetBlocks recorded a drop in platform traffic to 56% of its normal level, about 44% less. In his analysis, the attack added to previous ones against Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladímir, and could affect digital and state services. Montes de Oca indicated that the Ruchyi depot could store 114,000 cubic meters of fuel and supplied heavy and rail transport of the Leningrad Military District. He also stated that the Baltic ports supported Russian exports of crude and its derivatives. According to his post, Russia aimed to export between 3 and 3.5 million tons of diesel per month by the end of 2026, more than 10% of the global market, and damage to terminals and refineries would limit its income and export capacity. The author said that the offensive weakened the energy truce driven by Donald Trump and that Kiev had warned it would respond if Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. He added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had confirmed that Starshield was not operating in Ukraine nor had it been enabled to guide Ukrainian drones over Russian territory, so, according to Montes de Oca, it was not used in the attack. #Ucrania #SanPetersburgo #GuerraUcrania (translated)

“All laws can be repealed, but the effect of a repeal can never be retroactive. If an amnesty law is an instrument for the extinction of criminal liability, the criminal liability that has been extinguished never revives. A criminal liability that has already been extinguished cannot be revived.” This was expressed by Conde-Pumpido in a conversation held at Foros de Vanguardia, organized by the Grupo Godó. #Amnistía #Catalunya #TribunalConstitucional (translated)

The fungus Cryphonectria parasitica has led to the functional extinction of the American chestnut, devastating around 4 billion trees and transforming the forests of the United States, although recent efforts aim to restore the species through the cultivation of disease-resistant hybrid chestnuts. #CastañoAmericano #Conservación #Plagas (translated)

The Villalcampo hydroelectric power station in Zamora has opened the process for the termination of its exploitation contract, presenting an opportunity for the municipalities that host reservoirs to claim compensation for the historical damages suffered due to the flooding of lands and the exploitation of their natural resources. #Hidroelectricidad #Compensaciones #Zamora (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that an organizational chart showed that Abelardo had placed 16 members of his law firm in key positions that, he claimed, allowed for the return of assets to drug traffickers. He added that he would later show that many assets of drug traffickers removed from the OFAC list had been purchased by the National Land Agency (ANT) to be handed over to the peasantry, and that many were still in the process of extinction. #Narcotráfico #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)

A team of paleontologists has discovered in Argentina a new species of saber-toothed predator, Pampaluctor calibar, which shows that these South American carnivores survived until the late Pliocene or early Pleistocene, challenging the previous belief about their extinction. #Paleontología #Argentina #EspeciesExtintas (translated)

Gustavo Petro defended the right to protest and stated that it should not be limited when the mobilizations were directed against the wealthy. He affirmed that this right belonged to the masses and the people as a constituent power, and said that the protests gathered millions of people, not hundreds. Regarding truck drivers, he pointed out that the protest referred to the labor rights of drivers—including eight-hour workdays, benefits, insurance, and pensions—and not just to the transit of goods. He also said that small truckers should be protected and accused large companies of money laundering of preventing the arrival of the electric train. Petro maintained that the mobilized people could command the public force in exercise of their constituent power and that no established institution was above this. Furthermore, he claimed that there was fraud in the past presidential, legislative, and local elections, attributing a 95% statistical probability to experts. He said that justice must compare the E14 forms with the votes deposited in the bags by table and verify the identities of jurors and voters. Finally, he urged the people to reclaim what he described as their sword and to save Colombia's democratic institutions. #Protesta #DerechosHumanos #PuebloUnido (translated)

🔴 LAST MINUTE | The decree that the Government has not yet brought to the BOE requires the landlord to pay at least 12 monthly payments to the tenant if they do not extend the contract, and never less than one month for each year lived. If the landlord does not notify six months in advance, the lease will be automatically extended for successive periods of five years, and termination will cease to be the norm and become an expensive exception. #Alquiler #Inquilinos #Derechos (translated)

«Si hubiéramos perdido la antena, habríamos perdido el contacto con nuestras misiones en el espacio, nos hubiese costado miles de millones y cuatro o cinco años de reparaciones»Gracias a aquel gesto y a otros muchos que se sucedieron en las horas y días siguientes, se pudo salvar una infraestructura crítica que «nos conecta con las estrellas», señaló en el evento de agradecimiento organizado por la ESA en la propia estación el director de la agencia, Josef Aschbacher, quien quiso agradecer personalmente la labor de todos los implicados en la extinción de aquel incendio. #incendios #espacio #Cebreros

No quiero una campaña mundial sólo por mis derechos como ser humano pensante y progresista a mucho honor. Deseo una campaña mundial por todas y todos que nos oponemos al genocidio en Gaza y solicitamos la condena judicial internacional del genocida. Hemos sido marcados e inscritos en listas de oprobio y exclusión por el gobierno de Donald Trump y Marcos Rubio. Si quienes juzgan al genocida son victimizados y si quienes pedimos a la humanidad el rechazo total a las prácticas de Hitler hoy llevadas a la escala impensable de eliminación de civilizaciones milenarias fundamentales de la humanidad, somos victimizados, excluidos y nuestros derechos aplastados, los genocidas triunfarán y morirá la humanidad en un holocausto terrible y definitivo. No hablo de un holocausto divino sino de uno de origen humano de una poca gente dañada por la codicia, el odio y la venganza contra la democracia, los derechos de toda la gente pobladora de este planeta, más pobres económicamente que ellos, pero más rica en sus fundamentos humanos. Son miserables quienes piensan esclavizar la humanidad y ponerla bajo su control policivo violento y quitarle sus derechos, su tierra y su cultura. Decenas de jueces, magistrados de la justicia humana, líderes políticos y sociales, funcionarios de la. ONU, pueblos enteros hemos pasado al apartheid porque no pensamos como Rubio, Vance o Netanyahu, no somos ni asesinos ni narcos, somos quienes pretendemos una democracia global, un diálogo de civilizaciones y una justicia humana universal, una humanidad libre y no esclava. En América Latina han impuesto presidentes con fraudes electorales sistematizados a partir de la manipulación de la conciencia, que es el primer gran paso a la esclavitud, y el reemplazo del elector humano por el algoritmo manejado por los más adinerados y sanguinarios dueños del capital y de las armas. En varios países de latinoamérica han puesto narcotraficantes a gobernar mostrando pistolas contra su propio pueblo. Piensan como las élites arias en Sudafrica, son racistas y buscan un apartheid humano acabando la libertad de pensar, de expresarse y de actuar ante la injusticia en todo el mundo. Podemos silenciarnos definitivamente, y se silenciará a la humanidad agredida y aterrorizada, no habrá más cantos y gritos y juegos de niños como alerta de la extinción. Es hora de pararse y hablar con todo el mundo y en el mundo. Que todos los que seamos llevados al apartheid de la humanidad seamos apoyados para que nuestra voz se escuche, para que los jueces actúen y para que la humanidad encuentre paz y libertad. https://t.co/bxY1TtkX9h #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaSocial #Paz
