BTS Daily Chile⁷ wrote that the seven members of BTS had said goodbye to Chile dressed as huasos, with blankets and chupallas, items described as part of the identity and cultural heritage of the country. The account explained that the huaso was an emblematic figure of rural culture, especially in the central region, and had historically been linked to agriculture, livestock, and horseback life. It also noted that the blankets, generally made of wool, and the chupallas, primarily made of straw or plant fibers, had transitioned from fulfilling practical functions to being recognizable elements of traditional clothing. BTS Daily Chile⁷ added that these garments were connected to rural roots, traditional celebrations, and the cueca dance. According to the account, seeing the members of the group wearing them during their farewell had been a way to connect with Chilean traditions and share part of the cultural identity with ARMY. https://t.co/VhcKMtgMmJ #CulturaChilena #Tradiciones #Huaso (translated)

Speaking of dresses: in the morning, the skilled cigar maker exchanged suits at the Wellington Hotel - a Dakar overall in exchange for a lights suit - with the driver Carlos Sainz (senior) because he considers him "very Spanish" and to whom he has offered the fourth bull. #DíaDeLaHispanidad #MoranteDeLaPuebla #CarlosSainz (translated)

It lasted less than a day. Many were individuals who had been in prison or had problems with alcohol and drugs. They were transported by a group of people who crossed the border from Russia on buses and urged them to occupy the building. Once they were inside, they turned towards Russia. There was Motorola [Arsen Pavlov, a Russian paramilitary leader who would later intervene in the war in Donbas]. Our investigation led us to talk to detainees, analyze the documents they had left when they retreated, and visit the places where they had stayed. The conclusion was indisputable, and my thesis is that the preparation for the occupation of Donbas did not begin in 2014, after the Maidan uprising [the popular uprising that led to the fleeing of pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych], but much earlier, perhaps after the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008. Close to a hundred Russians crossed the border dressed as civilians, as if they were tourists. They had no weapons. They went straight to Villa María. That is where they had left the uniforms and weapons with which they appeared on the streets of Sloviansk. The church employees were involved in the preparation, including a priest, who later became one of the leaders of the armed groups. #GuerraEnUcrania #Rusia #Donbás (translated)

El Jefa𝕏o criticized Citlalli Hernández, whom he identified as the former Secretary of Women, and of whom, he wrote, it was said that she aspired to the candidacy for the Cuauhtémoc Mayor's Office. He stated that Hernández was spreading messages accusing Alessandra Rojo de la Vega of ordering assaults, despite the fact that, according to the author, there was evidence against that accusation. The author described Hernández's behavior as incongruent and argued that, when given the opportunity, she had supported more individuals whom she described as men identifying as women than actual women. He also questioned where her principles had gone. #Cuauhtémoc #PolíticaMx #Mujeres (translated)

Gustavo Petro defended the pension reform and denied that his government had bought support to approve it. He said that the House of Representatives backed it widely and that the then President of the Senate, Iván Name, delayed the debate for eight months so that it would fail due to lack of time. He also accused Magistrate Ibáñez of keeping it frozen for two years in the Constitutional Court, although he pointed out that the reform had already passed that stage. According to Petro, millions of elderly people, many of them from the right, could receive a pension thanks to the law. Regarding the allegations related to the UNGRD, Petro asked the Pacto Histórico bench to commission a forensic audit of the entire existence of the entity, since 2010, and to publish the names of those whom he claimed had embezzled it. He stated that only one person from the Pacto Histórico appeared on the extensive list, whom he said he had removed from the administration and whom, according to him, the party expelled. He also argued that justice should investigate whether Name had received public money through his romantic or political environment. Petro claimed that, during the first month of his government, resources were recovered that he attributed to Olmedo's group and that then the UNGRD was sidelined in the assistance to people trapped after an earthquake in the west of the country. Citing a journalistic investigation by Nueva Prensa, he stated that a private coordination center had been set up in the house of Gregory Schaller, whom he identified as Abelardo's compadre. He linked Andrés Depew, Negre — whom he described as a partner of Fernando Cerimedo — and people who, according to him, had ties to Donald Trump and businessman Dan Newlin to that place. Petro stated that Newlin had illegally lent his plane and resources during Abelardo's campaign. In the same publication, Petro mentioned businessman Yadid Jalaff, whom he said was accused of stealing Colombian-Venezuelan Monómeros, and Jorge Alberto Campillo Vélez, whom he described as one of Pablo Escobar's first pilots. He also pointed out pilot Luis Almeira Quiroz and linked him to a flight of paramilitaries from Urabá to San José del Guaviare, which, according to Petro, allowed the Mapiripán massacre, in which 50 farmers were murdered. He asked how much money had been raised to address the earthquake and if that explained why, according to him, the full operation of the UNGRD had been prevented and international aid and volunteers had been rejected. https://t.co/eiJJnl3Lxu #ReformaPensional #Justicia #Corrupción (translated)
