Abelardo De La Espriella said he was continuing, along with the Metropolitan Police of Barranquilla, the investigation into the installation of a flag and cylinders referring to the ELN in Barranquilla and Soledad. He reported that the Police, in coordination with the Prosecutor's Office, captured during a raid alias Kleiver, a member of Los Costeños, who had an outstanding arrest warrant for qualified and aggravated theft. According to De La Espriella, the investigation identified him as the driver of the vehicle used to transport the items. De La Espriella pointed out that the first items were found early in the morning in Ciudadela 20 de Julio, in Barranquilla, and that hours later they found two more cylinders in a parking lot near the Soledad Transportation Terminal. He added that the inspected items did not contain explosives. He affirmed that the operation was ongoing to locate the vehicle and another person who, according to the investigation, participated in the events. He also said that General Sandra Liliana Rodríguez was leading the verifications. De La Espriella maintained that the State should act in a coordinated manner, together with the Public Force, the Prosecutor's Office, and the judiciary, against those he described as narcoterrorists. He said that, while he was president, he would not allow Colombians to be intimidated and that such acts would have a firm response. #Barranquilla #FuerzaPública #Justicia (translated)

Alex_politics calculated that applying the rates proposed by Figaredo to personal income tax would reduce state revenue by nearly 100 billion euros a year, an amount that, as he wrote, was practically equivalent to all healthcare spending. He estimated that someone with a gross salary of 1,500 euros per month would save 376 euros a year in taxes, while a person earning 100,000 euros would save almost 19,000. He also argued that, in a mixed model of healthcare and pensions, a basic health insurance would cost about 100 euros per month and would require paying the first 1,600 euros annually before receiving coverage. He added that matching a public pension with a private plan would require contributions between 250 and 420 euros per month. According to his calculations, incomes of up to 50,000 euros would lose between 3,500 and 5,500 euros annually in purchasing power, and the state would stop collecting nearly 6% of GDP. Alex_politics concluded that, in his opinion, the main beneficiaries would be the rich. #IRPF #Sanidad #Economía (translated)

"Support needs to be specific: no generalized aid, because that would increase demand, favor higher incomes, and entail enormous costs. Instead, we need tailored support." The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has called for no "generalized measures" to alleviate the rise in energy prices. #CrisisEnergética #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #ComisiónEuropea (translated)

He added that two members of the “Raúl Reyes” structure had surrendered to justice in Florencia and handed over three long guns, a drone, and three explosive devices for drones. In Sardinata, he said, the Police had controlled the destruction of 100 explosives attributed to the ELN. De La Espriella pointed out that the Police Carabineros Directorate had intervened in five illegal mining units on the Saldaña River in Chaparral and Coyaima, Tolima. He noted that six excavators, four diving dredges, eight motor pumps, and three industrial engines had been destroyed, with an estimated value of $3.198 billion. He claimed that these units could extract gold worth around $4 billion per month and that they financed the Gerónimo Galeano front, aligned with the EMC, through approximately $599 million per month in extortion payments. He also asserted that the Army had affected 24 illegal mining production units and 21 dredges, and that in Ayapel, the Police had destroyed 26 motor pumps and eight classifiers.

The @ppopular will not take a step back in defending Spaniards and the most vulnerable. Many Spaniards with children, over 65, and with low incomes fear that these decrees will prevent them from renting a home. We will not abandon them. No deputy will intimidate me with their shouts, their agitation, and their violence. #España #Vivienda #DerechosHumanos (translated)

DOS GOLPES CONTRA EL CRIMEN EN LA VIRGINIA Y TIBÚ En la Operación Fantasma, la Policía capturó en La Virginia a 16 integrantes de la red de narcotráfico y sicariato de La Cordillera, entre ellos alias “Manotas” y “Michael”. La venta de bazuco y cocaína. En el barrio Villa Paz de Tibú, el Ejército, la Fuerza Aérea y la Policía capturaron a alias “Pollo”, cabecilla de comisión de la Estructura 33. Se le investiga por su relación con el asesinato de Mónica Liseth Beltrán, de 14 años, víctima de reclutamiento forzado. Le incautaron una pistola y 12 cartuchos. Seguiremos golpeando sus mandos, sus armas y sus rentas criminales. ¡Los vamos a acabar! ¡Firme por la Patria! ¡Que viva Cristo Rey! (A.D.L.E) 🇨🇴 🐅 #Seguridad #Justicia #Narcotráfico

El decreto antidesahucios es una forma de anular 'de facto' la propiedad privada en España: nuestro país está a la COLA de Europa en gasto en vivienda protegida, y ahora viene el Gobierno y le dice a los caseros que le regalen sus pisos, que no quiere malos titulares porque 2027 es año electoral. Se está privatizando en la gente de a pie la completa inoperancia política. No, no es justo: la política crea un problema –no construye suficiente, porque obligaría a renunciar a otras partidas más electoralistas y de corto plazo– y espera que las consecuencias se las coman los particulares. Solo el 8% del mercado del alquiler son fondos buitre: el resto (92%), pequeños propietarios, y la propiedad no está concentrada, dicho por el Banco de España. No, tampoco son millonarios: son familias que pueden seguir siendo clase media de antes, gracias en parte, a esas rentas que usan para cuidar al abuelo, no tener una peor situación familiar, o etc. El otro drama del decreto antidesahucios es que sus efectos son MUY perjudiciales para los vulnerables que dice defender. Si el casero sabe que un vulnerable puede generarle problemas de impago, directamente no le va a alquilar: familias de pocos niños y bajos ingresos ya son directamente expulsadas del mercado del alquiler. Hay que pisar un poco más de calle para saber de qué va esto. Se está usando a MariCarmen políticamente, no con el fin de atajar los problemas que ella misma ha sufrido, así como muchas otras personas en nuestro país, que merecen igualmente un techo, sino para evitar malos titulares a las puertas de unas elecciones.

Hola, @agarzon. Igual quien lo confunde eres tú. La vivienda en España está en manos de pequeños propietarios y no está concentrada (informe del Banco de España), y además, no son multimillonarios en su composición. Vayamos a los datos reales, no a supuestos teóricos: Entre 2020 y 2023, los hogares de caseros gozaron de una renta mediana bruta anual de 50.000 a 56.000 euros, incluidas las mensualidades que reciben del alquiler (datos cruzados del INE, Agencia Tributaria, BdE). No todos recibieron esa cantidad: unos ganaron más, otros menos, pero ofrece una horquilla realista. Y se podrá argumentar que el HOGAR del casero es el doble de rico que su inquilino: en este último grupo, el baremo de renta se cifró alrededor de entre 19.000 y 26.000 euros. Se podrá decir incluso que 2500 o 3000 euros no lo haga ni un 5% de la gente en España, así es tal cual. Ahora bien, está claro que un casero no es ningún millonario —insisto, hablamos de que esas rentas son por HOGAR—; menos si en la casa hay uno o dos niños que mantener, se vive en una gran ciudad, se tiene algún mayor a cargo o hay que contratar un cuidador o una residencia para algún abuelo. Es decir, que hay gente que hoy es menos pobre que su inquilino –y puede ser clase media de antes– por las rentas que ingresa del alquiler. Estamos hablando del hundimiento de la clase media en España, no de que este país esté lleno de ultramillonarios especulando con la vivienda. Estamos hablando de que la segunda vivienda sirve a muchas familias para llevar una vida más holgada, no de que vayan súper sobrados. Por eso, no se hace nada para paliar el problema del alquiler. Por cierto: ¿Nadie en la izquierda dijo que no había que construir más? ¿Qué fue esto de Irene Montero y Gabriel Rufián? Buenos días, Alberto. La que esparce relatos no soy yo. #ViviendaES #Alquiler #ClaseMedia
