Paola Holguín stated that over the weekend a protest was called in front of the National Museum by people who, according to her, had used culture to reinterpret history, justify crimes, and re-victimize the victims. She asserted that some protesters arrived masked and resorted to unlawful actions, while others brought minors and used them as shields. Holguín said that the National Police fulfilled their role of ensuring a peaceful protest and preventing harm to citizens and heritage. She also indicated that she would seek for the museum to preserve, restore, protect, and disseminate a culture representative of the entire nation, and reiterated the need to review the museography, museology, and curatorship of that and other museums managed by the Government. Moreover, she reaffirmed her commitment to the rights of victims to truth, justice, reparations, and non-repetition. She added that preserving the memory of the country, including its tragedies and achievements, required efforts from society and authorities, and firmness in the face of acts that, in her opinion, dishonored the affected individuals. #Cultura #DerechosHumanos #ProtestaPacífica (translated)

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)

Héctor Suárez Gomís questioned Viri Ríos for, according to him, confusing the payment of taxes with demanding that resources be reflected in public services, such as pothole-free streets. He argued that holding the government accountable for maintenance was not hypocrisy and listed taxes such as the ISR, VAT, IEPS, property tax, and vehicle tax. He also stated that the poor condition of the streets forced citizens to cover private medical expenses and repairs for their vehicles, and mentioned that changing all four tires every year could be a consequence of those conditions. Suárez Gomís pointed out that studying at Harvard did not guarantee an understanding that public money belonged to the citizens and that officials should be held accountable. He urged Ríos to demand answers from Adán Augusto and criticized him for refusing to make statements. Additionally, he accused those who reported potholes and opposed the property tax of being inconsistent and argued that citizens demanded punctuality from taxpayers while tolerating, according to him, government ineptitude. #Impuestos #Gobierno #ServiciosPúblicos (translated)

Alejandro Alvarez opened his post with an insult and claimed that German hyperinflation was controlled in 1923, ten years before Adolf Hitler came to power. He stated that that year, during the Weimar Republic and the government of Gustav Stresemann, Hjalmar Schacht played a key role in monetary stabilization and that the introduction of the Rentenmark in November ended uncontrolled issuance. He added that stabilization was consolidated in 1924 and the Dawes Plan was implemented to reorganize war reparations, and that Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. #historia #Alemania #hiperinflación (translated)

For his part, Colonel Jesús Arribas, who was the chief of the Civil Guard in the Murcia Zone during that period, has stated that, at the end of 2016, General Vázquez Jarava contacted him to inform him that they were "going to decentralize a budget item" so that he could spend it on "the waterproofing of roofs and the repair of the facades of the barracks." #CasoCuartele #Corrupción #GuardiaCivil (translated)
