"It is a deep injustice that the autonomous financing system is discussed and the local financing system is not; everyone knows that, despite being the administrations that manage the least public money, citizens are asking us for more and we are taking on more and more responsibilities. This cannot wait... the capacity of municipalities must be improved." The Mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, agreed at a subsequent press conference on the need to increase resources for different municipalities. #EncuentroIberoamericano #Vivienda #CambioClimático (translated)

Jota Vaquerizo wrote that the Community of Madrid had asked the Court of Auditors to archive the case, also on behalf of Planifica Madrid, the public company that bought the penthouse. He claimed that those who should defend public money were not calling for an investigation into how 6.3 million had been spent, but rather to close the case. He added that the Court had given the prosecutor five days to decide, for the second time, whether to appoint an instructor or request the archive. #Transparencia #Justicia #Madrid (translated)

Maria Clara Posada stated that the JEP would have signed 22 agreements with the PNUD between 2018 and 2026 to outsource contracts worth $201.467 million. She wrote that the agency had diplomatic immunity and was not obliged to reveal who it hired, how much it paid, or what work was done, which she described as a scheme of secrecy. Posada claimed that the case would be more serious than that of the parallel Fund of MinIgualdad. The author pointed out alleged irregularities in the agreements. She said that they were governed by PNUD rules, something that, according to her, could only be done if the agency contributed more than 50% of the value, a condition that would have been met in five of the 22 agreements. She also stated that the PNUD did not provide money but made in-kind contributions, and that the available information in Secop did not allow for a detailed understanding of how the JEP calculated its value. Posada added that the law prohibited the use of international cooperation agreements to execute budget resources, in order to prevent evasion of contracting regulations. In this case, she argued, the PNUD would have managed the JEP's resources for tasks specific to the entity, such as ensuring legal advice to victims and strengthening the capacity of the Investigation Unit. #JEP #PNUD #contratación (translated)

Sturzenegger stated that the measure was part of efforts to reduce public spending and continue lowering taxes. #Austeridad #AdministraciónPública #Impuestos (translated)

Estefania Molina stated that in Spain sacrifices were already being demanded to finance pensions and labeled as false any claims to the contrary. She argued that there was a contributory deficit of 60 billion euros, covered by taxes, debt, and funds from other budget items. As an example, she pointed out that investment in housing and infrastructure had proportionally declined since the year 2000. She also said that the Escrivá reform aimed to increase taxes and contributions from a impoverished working population. She raised the issue that it was not whether pensions were sustainable, but how unjust they had become between generations, and announced a new video on her YouTube channel. https://t.co/fsMo0AqTao #Pensiones #Economía #Reforma (translated)

Gustavo Petro claimed that Abelardo had deceived Caldas, Risaralda, and Quindio by allowing, as he said, private interests to benefit from public goods in the coffee region. He maintained that the region should not limit the mobility of those who worked there and that he decided to remove the tolls when the concession contract expired, instead of extending it. Petro rejected what he attributed to the minister of the Char clan: that the State could not maintain the roads. He pointed out that most states in the world did so and that maintenance was cheaper with a larger extent of railroads. He also stated that in Colombia, concessions were financed with tolls, but the State paid concessions separately for construction. Additionally, he accused Abelardo of withdrawing funds from the Palestine airport and leaving it frozen again, as well as extending the road concession and maintaining tolls that, according to Petro, only enriched their owners. He added that turning labor products into income for corrupt individuals impoverished workers and the entire region. https://t.co/OpQYhP8vTf #Colombia #LibreMovilidad #Corrupción (translated)

He also warned that one should not harm those who feed them and said that the project would not have been possible without the DED's money.
