“It seems that the Taiwanese representation is trying to exert pressure on Lithuania through Lithuanian politicians in this way. (...) Let's see who is already speaking publicly and who will soon join in. We can already see comments from Žygis Pavilionis, the opposition is starting to talk about some meetings. Soon Matas Maldeikis, I have no doubt, will join as well, and so on. So I think this information was released through them,” A. Veryga told BNS on Monday. #AurelijusVeryga #Taivanas #LietuvosValdžia (translated)

Vučić has fallen. What next? Why is it naive to expect that the new Serbian government will instantly cut ties with Moscow? After the elections, there was great rejoicing in Serbia, claiming that a European Serbia has won. Only Matas Maldeikis among our politicians stated that nothing will come of it, while others expressed hope that this is a great opportunity, as Belgrade has turned away from Moscow. However, later Mažvydas Jastramskis presented the view that he is pleased with the victory of democracy and is not expecting a geopolitical transformation. Regardless, today, as we have heard the first statements from the winners, the euphoria has somewhat subsided. Because, in fact, the voting in Serbia was not “for” but a protest against the despised Vučić. The voting was convincing. It is believed that the high voter turnout forced Vučić to abandon thoughts of violence and almost instantly recognize his defeat. However, the “Student List,” which received an absolute majority and will now form a new government, is essentially a cat in a sack. Let’s recall that the list ran with an 11-point program, which is all about corruption, audits, and courts for the bad ones. In short, we will punish the bad, and do good for the good. Everything else, including foreign policy, is just fog. With this program, the students have fulfilled their task - the common enemy has been defeated, but no one knows what will happen next. One thing is clear, Serbia will not turn away from Russia overnight and will not hurry to join the EU. Firstly, the winners' dependence on voters will not allow that, as the vast majority of voters are not pro-Western. Secondly, if the list wants to stay in power for at least six months, it must act very cautiously - not to argue among themselves and not to irritate people with hasty decisions in foreign policy. https://balkanailt.substack.com/p/vucicius-krito-kas-toliau #Serbia #Balkans #election (translated)

Pablo Echenique thanked the members of Podemos in the regions who, as he wrote, had negotiated in good faith, while the Frente Amplio negotiated behind their backs with the PSOE for the Senate. He also accused progressive media of spreading lies and contributing to demoralizing them. He also thanked those who defended both his political project and, in his words, "the facts and reality" on social media. Echenique stated that Podemos could push for an independent project from the PSOE and without compromises, after Sumar had disintegrated in just three years. He argued that this autonomy would allow for denouncing the rearmament, the handing over of the CGPJ to the PP, the corruption of the PSOE, and, he said, the protection of the interests of rentiers. He also highlighted the joint candidacy of Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián, whom he described as the left-wing leaders with the most recognition and appeal at that time. The Podemos leader anticipated that media pressure would increase and accused the media of publishing false polls that would attribute votes from other parties to the Frente Amplio. He stated that this coverage was due to the fear of a left that did not obey orders or accept agreements for a few senators. He urged his supporters to move forward and pointed out that on Sunday, November 29, voters could decide at the polls. #Podemos #Izquierda #Elecciones2023 (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)

The Garantido Ox stated that its struggle was for the working Brazilian people and said that it lived in the heart of the Amazon, which it described as the largest biome in Brazil and the largest tropical forest in the world. It also wrote that life in the region was in the rivers, in the forests, in the communities, and in the peoples that resisted. https://t.co/rCBm8SMN6D #Amazônia #Trabalhador #Brasil (translated)

Now Sveriges Radio is reporting extensively on rapes against the elderly in home care. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about just this – about how elderly care has long functioned as a labor market for integration policy for newly arrived and immigrant labor. Some points from my review: • Elderly Minister Anna Tenje notes that elderly care has for too long been used as a labor market and integration policy arena: “Almost anyone has been allowed in.” • Foreign-born individuals account for 31.8 percent of the wage sum in care, compared to 19.1 percent in the economy as a whole. Care is the welfare sector with the highest proportion. • Of the over 20,000 unaccompanied men who arrived in 2015, 27.5 percent are now working in care, social services, and welfare – about 5,500 people. • Employers can receive very large government wage subsidies to hire, among others, newly arrived individuals. A home care entrepreneur describes to Fokus how employers are actively fed information about the support. • The Employment Service also states that the authority does not impose its own requirements for education, language, or suitability when someone is matched with elderly care: “It is the employer who sets the requirements.” • And the question that still lacks a proper answer: is there a connection between this recruitment and integration policy and the abuses? Anna Tenje says that the knowledge situation is too poor to draw that conclusion. The Crime Prevention Council has therefore been tasked with mapping the crimes.

Tengo muchos años de conocerte, Felix. Tal vez más de 10 como colega y compañero… Nunca había visto que hablaras mal de un portero, siempre defendiste a tu gremio ante cualquier crítica, sean mexicanos o extranjeros. ¿Por qué razón mataste a arquero de Morelia? 🤔 Andas raro… #fútbol #amistad #deporte

Dos meses después lo matasteis por rojo y por maricón. Si hay en el historial de desvergüenzas de la derecha de este país un hito insuperable, ese es reivindicar a Lorca y tratar de apropiarse de su legado, después de asesinarlo y enterrarlo como a un perro. #Lorca #MemoriaHistórica #Derecha #ES

Beseda a setkání s velitelkou a dronařkou Runou a velitelem Michailem. Témata o kterých je potřeba mluvit. Nezavírat před zlem oči. Poprvé na pár dní opustila Ukrajinu, aby nám předala své svědectví a zkušenosti z boje (bojuje od svých 19 let již 8. rok) a včera její dům, kde měli zázemí, zničila ruská bomba, a oni jsou naživu díky tomu, že přijeli sem. Zůstalo jí jen oblečení v batohu, kde místo zabraly i plyšáci. Silný večer. A slova ukrajinského velvyslance na závěr, který řekl :" Ukrajina válku neprohraje, jen se bojíme, aby ji neprohrál Západ." Tolik lidí z naší komunity, bubliny. Mrzelo mě, že nebyl čas popovídat si s každým Lenka @beneslenka , David Matásek se ženou a dalšími. Alespoň podání ruky, pozdrav a objetí, ani vyndávat mobil z kapsy jsem nestíhal, kolik bylo lidí a to bylo skvělý= sál byl vyprodanej (stejně mám superschopnost na fotkách vypadat jako idiot). Jeden organickej celek a v tom je naše síla. Není nám to jedno. Nejsme lhostejní. Při řeči maminky Martina "Taylora" Krejčího jsem měl na krajíčku a jsem moc rád, že jsem Tě Jano Kučerová mohl i s manželem konečně potkat naživo, stejně tak Tebe Báro @BKrouzkova 🫂. Díky Vasyle za překládání a díky Bobovi Kartousovi za moderování a zároveň vše NEJ k narozeninám 🍀🖖.Ještě jednou obrovské díky Macovi a dalším dobrovolníkům. Potřebujeme ukrajinský bojový zkušenosti. Máme společnýho nepřítele, který nás dal na svůj seznam nepřátelských zemí. Ukrajina brání a krvácí za hodnoty, kterýma se my zaštiťujeme.🇨🇿🤝🇺🇦⚔️✌️ #slavaukraini #standwithukraine #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine #HumanRights
