The Catholic Church defends the permanence of baptismal records in the face of demands to delete personal data from apostates, in a debate that the Court of Justice of the European Union must resolve regarding the right to be forgotten and its applicability to these records. (translated)

Barranquilla does not wait sitting down for progress to arrive: it goes out to seek it. That energy, its entrepreneurial vocation, and its ability to look at the world are part of the reasons why I decided to make it an alternate capital of the Republic and an alternate seat of the National Government. And a city that increases its weight in Colombia needs infrastructure to match. That's why the Nation and the District are joining efforts to accelerate the transformation of the Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport. The District will contribute $40 billion to invest in the terminal, modernize it, and address needs that have been pending for too long. Public resources must turn into results. I don't want us to be talking in a few months about how much money was committed, but showing what was done, what changed, and how the experience of passengers and workers improved. The Ernesto Cortissoz will continue to belong to the Nation, and the Civil Aeronautics will maintain the responsibilities that correspond to it. What we are doing is simple: adding capacities to execute faster and better. This airport is not just the air gateway to Barranquilla and Soledad: it is a strategic infrastructure for Atlántico, the Caribbean, and Colombia. We want more tourism, more companies, more investment, more trade, and a region increasingly connected with the world. Barranquilla is growing, and Colombia is growing with it. Today, more than ever, I stand firm for the Caribbean, firm for Barranquilla, and firm for the Homeland! Long live Christ the King! (translated)

Lito Sousa has left us. The sadness is immense. It was years and years watching Lito's channel, learning almost daily about the history of aviation and this incredible universe of airplanes. Lito was very important; he really made a difference. Much more than the videos and his career as a mechanic. There were countless projects, him and his wife Mila, many of which are still active today with hundreds of people working. He was THE GUY. You will be missed a lot, Lito. Thank you for everything. Thank you very much. Much strength to Mila, to his son Malone, and to all family and friends. (translated)

🚨 Now! Corinthians has accumulated 4 overdue installments of an agreement that reduced its debt with the Union from R$ 1.2 billion to R$ 679 million. Timão failed to pay the installments for June, July, August, and September, totaling R$ 27.3 MILLION overdue. The contract allows for CANCELLATION after 3 overdue installments. The Attorney General of the National Treasury notified the club in August but stated that the agreement remains in effect and that Corinthians has 30 days to pay or present a defense. If canceled, the ORIGINAL amount of the debt will return, deducting only the amounts paid. Corinthians will also be 2 YEARS unable to enter into new tax agreements. The club stated that it relies on its good relationship with the PGFN to resolve the situation. 🗞️ @geglobo (translated)

Well yes, it is time to call for elections. On one hand, a united left around housing. With dialogue, listening, and agreement. On the other hand, a right that has disappeared and has no solutions. The only way to revalidate the government. (translated)

Generation⋅s has also chosen Jean-Luc Mélenchon for the upcoming presidential elections! A clear, coherent, and courageous political decision by Generation⋅s. By choosing to start negotiations with La France Insoumise to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy, Generation⋅s has opted not to confine itself to a socialist primary and to face the political reality of the moment. This decision comes in a context where the far right continues to progress and strengthen its political and institutional foothold. In the face of this risk, the division of the left cannot become fatality. It must not also lead to a dilution of the convictions of those who advocate for a profound transformation of our social, ecological, and democratic model. This is also why this decision by Generation⋅s can be considered coherent: it prioritizes the unification of the left willing to break from liberal policies around a clearly identified project, rather than the multiplication of candidacies and competing approaches. In this configuration, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy appears, for those who defend this political line, as the only one today able to widely unify the left of rupture and offer an alternative to both liberalism and the far right. The danger would be to allow the divisions of the left to further open space for the far right, even as some convergences can be observed between certain right-wing forces and the far right. In light of this situation, building a solid, independent, and popular left alternative is more necessary than ever. So let us commend the decision of Generation⋅s. It marks a choice of political coherence: uniting the left forces that want to break from liberal policies, defend social and ecological gains, and construct a true alternative against the far right. The question is no longer about how to organize yet another primary. It is about how to build, right now, the popular unity capable of carrying a transformative left. (translated)
