Sta agli atti della Corte internazionale di giustizia dal 5 aprile 2024. È la dichiarazione con cui la Colombia è intervenuta, ai sensi dell'articolo 63 dello Statuto, nella causa che il Sudafrica ha aperto contro Israele per genocidio a Gaza. Nel testo Bogotá scrive di volere "la sicurezza e, di fatto, l'esistenza stessa del popolo palestinese". Il 16 luglio l'ufficio del presidente eletto Abelardo de la Espriella ha annunciato che quel documento verrà ritirato. Lo dice così: la Colombia "riprenderà una posizione seria e responsabile sulla scena internazionale, anche all'interno del sistema delle Nazioni Unite". L'insediamento è fissato al 7 agosto. A Washington il ministro degli Esteri israeliano Gideon Sa'ar ha già incontrato il futuro omologo Omar Bula Escobar, e il conto è presto fatto: relazioni piene, visti aboliti, ambasciata a Gerusalemme. Sarebbe la nona, dopo Stati Uniti, Guatemala, Honduras, Kosovo, Papua Nuova Guinea, Paraguay, Fiji e Somaliland. Gustavo Petro, che quel documento lo aveva voluto, ha scritto del successore: "Chi sostiene il genocidio ne è complice". Tre giorni prima, il 13 luglio, il Dipartimento di Stato americano aveva annunciato una campagna per "disabilitare sistematicamente" la Corte penale internazionale. Prevede telefonate ai 125 Stati parte perché escano dallo Statuto di Roma, revoche di visti al personale, sanzioni a chi collabora. Corti diverse, metodo identico. Nessuno dei due atti discute una prova, una perizia, un fatto. Si lavora sull'elenco dei presenti. Giovedì Tina Marinari, di Amnesty International Italia, è stata ascoltata dal Comitato permanente sui diritti umani della Camera. Le espressioni di preoccupazione degli Stati sono ormai «un cinico alibi», ha detto, e la loro inazione rientra fra gli elementi del genocidio in corso. Restano due frasi scritte dallo stesso Stato a ventisette mesi di distanza. Nella prima c'era l'esistenza del popolo palestinese. Nella seconda c'è la parola "responsabile". #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

This episode brings together two experts to discuss recent second-round presidential elections in Peru and Colombia: Jo-Marie Burt, a senior fellow at WOLA and professor at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government, and a leading expert on Peru; and Gimena Sánchez-Garzoli, WOLA's Director for the Andes, who maintains close contact with Colombian civil society. Both elections produced razor-thin margins, and both delivered victories to right-wing, populist candidates promising crackdowns on crime and a hard line against their political adversaries. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori won the presidency on her fourth attempt, while in Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella narrowly defeated left-leaning Iván Cepeda. Burt describes Fujimori's ascent as the culmination of years spent consolidating control over Peru's key institutions, like Congress, the constitutional tribunal, and the attorney general's office. She characterizes Fujimori as "singularly motivated, singularly ambitious, and singularly ruthless," shaped by her upbringing under her father Alberto Fujimori's authoritarian government. Burt warns that Fujimori is driven by a desire for revenge against those who helped prosecute and imprison her father, including journalists like Gustavo Gorriti, human rights lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. She details a legislative landscape already tilted toward impunity—amnesty laws shielding police and military, and restrictions crippling NGOs' ability to represent victims. Burt argues Peru has drifted toward a hybrid or even authoritarian regime. Sánchez-Garzoli paints a tense picture in Colombia, where outgoing President Gustavo Petro has refused to recognize the election results, alleging fraud and foreign interference despite institutional findings to the contrary. She notes intervention by the Trump administration and U.S. lawmakers. With the transition suspended and Petro calling supporters into the streets, while armed groups reposition, Sánchez-Garzoli warns of a real risk of political violence. She outlines de la Espriella's "iron fist" agenda: mega-prisons modeled on El Salvador's Nayib Bukele, reviving the controversial ESMAD riot police, and a "special urban defense bloc" that she fears could blur the line between state security and paramilitary activity, echoing Colombia's dark history. "Colombia can't return to the belief that problems can be solved through bullets," she says, paraphrasing Colombian human rights defender Leyner Palacios. The conversation explores the deeper social fractures driving these results: in Peru, divisions of race, class, and region between Lima and the neglected Andean provinces, alongside a "frozen" collective memory of the 1980s-90s internal armed conflict manipulated to smear the left as communist. In Colombia, urban-rural divides also shape perceptions of security and the peace process. Both guests anticipate closer alignment with Washington, though they distinguish ideological affinity from generous funding. Sánchez-Garzoli expects a "total reset" in U.S.-Colombia relations, possible joint operations, and migration cooperation including reports of a plan to facilitate deportations of Colombian asylum seekers. Burt notes U.S. concern over China's growing influence in Peru. Despite the grim outlook, both find grains of hope: in Peru, a tentative opposition alliance and a still-vibrant regional civil society; in Colombia, strong institutions, a diverse Congress, and a resilient press and civil society. The episode closes with a reflection that both presidents-elect, lacking strong bases, face the "Milei challenge" of governing without a coalition.

CLiz Peek discusses the strong American economy, noting that small businesses feel relief as tariff threats abate and inflation falls. Lower energy and gasoline prices have cheered investors. Anecdotal evidence from local bookstores and ice cream parlors reinforces a positive outlook for consumer sentiment. (1)Liz Peek highlights the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America as a significant threat to established Democraticincumbents. Young voters are flocking to radical platforms promising free services. Rahm Emanuel emerges as a blunt voice for the party, urging a challenge against these "loons." (2)Jonathan Schanzer reports on the restart of hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz, where oil prices have hit $87 per barrel. The US is conducting air strikes against Iranian naval assets and drone bases. Schanzer questions why these strategic targets were not hit earlier in the conflict. (3)Jonathan Schanzer explores the Houthi threat in North Yemen and the potential for a wider regional conflict. While the US keeps Israel on the sidelines to avoid escalation, Turkey's "neo-Ottoman" ambitions are rising. Schanzer warns that Turkey seeks to fill the power vacuum left by Iran. (4)Mary Kissel analyzes the failure of the Iran ceasefire, noting that Iran calculated the US lacks the will for ground intervention. The conflict centers on Iran's suspect nuclear program, with potential new targets at Pickaxe Mountain. Public engagement remains low despite rising energy costs. (5)Mary Kissel discusses NATO's decision to reinforce Ukraine with advanced drone technology and Patriot missile manufacturing. Ukraine is hailed as the "future of warfare," transitioning from a security consumer to a security contributor. Kissel emphasizes the need for the US to counter Russian propaganda. (6)Joseph Sternberg examines Germany's economic struggles under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, including a shift toward deregulation and infrastructure borrowing. Massive layoffs at Volkswagen signal the end of traditional "lifetime employment." Merz faces political challenges from Social Democrats who resist aggressive free-market changes. (7)Joseph Sternberg addresses the assassination of former MP Ann Widdecombe, which is being investigated as a possible act of political violence. Sternberg notes that existential political rhetoric on social media often inspires such attacks. These tensions reflect broader global concerns regarding political polarization. (8)Gregory Copley critiques the stalemate in the Persian Gulf, suggesting that US air strikes alone cannot win without a plan for regime change. He advocates for supporting the domestic Iranian population against the clerical leadership. Turkey's opposition to empowering Kurdish forces remains a significant complication. (9)Gregory Copley discusses the inevitability of Ukraine's path to NATO, a move he views as a provocation to Russia. He argues the war preserves President Zelensky's power without a democratic mandate. However, he acknowledges Ukraine's technological ingenuity in developing swarming drone capabilities for modern combat. (10)Gregory Copley highlights Australia's declining regional power as Indonesia and India rise strategically. China'smissile tests and interest in Antarctica further destabilize the South Pacific. As the Antarctic Treaty ends, a scramble for the world's largest oil deposits appears imminent. (11)Gregory Copley details King Charles III's visit to the Isle of Man, the world's oldest continuous parliament. The King also held a private, discreet meeting with Prince Harry. Meanwhile, the UK faces rising anxiety over security for political leaders following the assassination of Ann Widdecombe. (12)Jeff McCausland discusses the closing of the Strait of Hormuz due to Iranian threats from land-based missiles and drones. President Trump faces a dilemma: muddle through, escalate with ground forces, or withdraw. McCausland warns that seizing territory like Kharg Island would result in significant casualties. (13)Jeff McCausland notes that Europe now views Ukraine as a security contributor due to its mastery of drone and robotic warfare. While Putin considers escalation or mobilization, Chinese pressure likely prevents the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The US continues to communicate "serious consequences." (14)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa condemn Gustavo Petro's refusal to recognize election results in Colombia. They criticize Brazil's President Lula for his silence on criminal leftist regimes. The "Shield of the Americas" alliance is emerging to defend regional democracy and fight corruption. (15)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa report that 60,000 people are missing in Venezuela following catastrophic earthquakes and government neglect. They propose an emergency temporary government to replace the Rodriguezsiblings. Brazil hosts 700,000 refugees fleeing the "gangland" regime's destruction. (16)All 16 segments formatted, tail numbers (1)–(16). Name check clean: Liz Peek, Peña Esclusa, Araújo with the accent, Ann Widdecombe all correct.

Al menos dos soldados murieron y cinco más resultaron heridos durante una operación del Ejército colombiano que permitió la liberación de 39 personas secuestradas por la guerrilla del ELN. A tres semanas de la toma de posesión del presidente electo, Abelardo de la Espriella, el episodio vuelve a poner en evidencia la capacidad de control territorial de los grupos armados y añade presión a la transición política. Entrevista con Francisco Daza, coordinador de la Fundación Paz y Reconciliación. Guerrilleros del ELN secuestraron a 39 personas, entre ellas dos menores de edad, en una carretera de una zona rural del departamento del Chocó, en el noroeste de Colombia. Se trata de una región donde esta organización mantiene una fuerte presencia y obtiene financiación a través del narcotráfico y la minería ilegal. El hecho vuelve a situar la violencia en el centro de la transición política entre el presidente saliente, Gustavo Petro, y el presidente electo, Abelardo de la Espriella. La operación militar que permitió la liberación de los secuestrados dejó al menos dos soldados muertos y cinco heridos. Para Francisco Daza, coordinador de la Fundación Paz y Reconciliación, el episodio refleja la capacidad de control territorial que mantiene el ELN en varias regiones del país. "El ELN tiene presencia territorial en 156 municipios de Colombia", explica Francisco Daza, coordinador de la Fundación Paz y Reconciliación. "Desde nuestra Fundación identificamos que el secuestro de 39 personas en el departamento de Chocó se dio en el marco de prácticas de control social y territorial por parte de ese grupo armado. El departamento de Chocó vive desde hace cuatro o cinco años un escenario de disputa armada entre el ELN y el Ejército Gaitanista de Colombia", agrega.  "El ELN no tiene ningún proceso de negociación activo en el marco de la Paz Total. Este proceso se suspendió luego de las confrontaciones que adelantó el ELN contra el Estado Mayor de los bloques y frentes presentes en el departamento de Norte de Santander, que derivaron en una crisis humanitaria que se ha extendido por más de un año", dice Daza. El Ejército de Liberación Nacional es hoy la principal guerrilla activa de Colombia. A diferencia de las antiguas FARC, funciona bajo una estructura regional sólida y, pese a los esfuerzos diplomáticos por alcanzar la paz, este episodio añade tensión a la compleja transición política que vive el país. "Los retos asociados a la seguridad están en función del panorama actual de presencia de grupos armados organizados y de su proliferación en los últimos años. A esto se suma la tecnificación de la guerra. Recientemente, durante el último año, los grupos armados han comenzado a utilizar drones cargados con explosivos", dice.  "Otro de los retos está relacionado con las recientes declaraciones del presidente electo, asociadas a que no va a continuar con el ecosistema de paz que se consolidó tras la firma del Acuerdo de Paz de 2016. El Estado siempre ha sido más reactivo que preventivo. Por ahí puede ir una de las soluciones para evitar, justamente, que se presenten hechos como este". Con el aumento de los ataques y su impacto directo sobre la población civil, el ELN vuelve a situarse en el centro de las preocupaciones del próximo gobierno colombiano.

À Cap-Haïtien, faute de stocks de poches de sang suffisants pour effectuer des transfusions, de nombreux patients ne peuvent être pris en charge et bien souvent décèdent. Le chef-lieu du département du Nord fait face, depuis plusieurs mois, à une grave pénurie de sang transfusionnel. Faute de matériels adéquats et de locaux appropriés, la Croix-Rouge du Cap-Haïtien se trouve dans l'incapacité de collecter et de conserver le sang dans de bonnes conditions. Elle ne dispose pas non plus de laboratoire. Les quelques poches de sang collectées doivent ainsi être envoyées dans la capitale pour être traitées et analysées, avant d'être retournées à la Croix-Rouge. Très souvent, elles ne reviennent jamais alors que les malades agonisent. Un dossier de Ronel Paul.   Le Cartel de Jalisco menace des gangs rivaux à Mexico Au Mexique, le Cartel de Jalisco Nouvelle Génération, l'une des organisations de narcotrafiquants les plus puissantes du pays, refait parler de lui. L'une de ses branches vient de diffuser une vidéo de propagande sur les réseaux sociaux. Elle y déclare la guerre à deux groupes criminels rivaux de la région de Mexico. Une vidéo publiée alors que le cartel a subi plusieurs revers ces derniers mois : la mort de son chef, El Mencho, tué dans une opération de l'armée mexicaine en février ; et la capture de son potentiel successeur, « le Jardinier », en avril. Explications, François-Damien Bourgery, du service International de RFI.   En Colombie, les effets de la réforme du travail La Colombie se prépare à investir son nouveau président, le millionnaire d'extrême droite, Abelardo de la Espriella élu en juin. Il prendra la place du gouvernement de gauche de Gustavo Petro, le 7 août 2026, qui laissera derrière lui une réforme majeure du temps de travail qui entre en vigueur aujourd'hui. Les Colombiens ne travailleront plus que 42 heures par semaine, contre 44 heures jusqu'à présent.

En Capital Intereconomía repasamos las claves del día y la evolución de los mercados en Asia, Wall Street y Europa en una jornada marcada por el regreso de la tensión geopolítica en Oriente Medio, las dudas sobre la política monetaria de la Reserva Federal y la búsqueda de activos refugio por parte de los inversores. En el primer análisis de la mañana hablamos con Araceli de Frutos, asesora del fondo Alhaja Inversiones FI, para analizar el fortalecimiento del dólar, que vuelve a actuar como activo refugio ante el aumento de las tensiones en el Golfo Pérsico. También abordamos la evolución del petróleo y la posibilidad de que el barril vuelva a acercarse a los 100 dólares si se agrava la situación en la región. Además, analizamos la desaceleración del crecimiento de los precios al consumo en China, las expectativas que generan las actas de la Reserva Federal y su posible impacto sobre los mercados, así como los sectores que pueden ofrecer mayor protección en un entorno de incertidumbre. También repasamos las perspectivas para la renta fija y debatimos si el repunte de las tensiones inflacionistas obliga a replantear la duración de las carteras. En el análisis internacional conversamos con Miguel Ángel Melián, analista internacional y consultor de asuntos públicos, para abordar el deterioro de las relaciones entre Estados Unidos e Irán tras las declaraciones de Donald Trump dando por terminado el proceso de negociación. También analizamos la decisión de Washington de conceder licencias a Ucrania para fabricar sistemas de defensa Patriot, la prohibición de Rusia de exportar diésel para asegurar el abastecimiento interno y el agravamiento de la crisis política en Colombia, donde el presidente Gustavo Petro y el expresidente del Senado Efraín Cepeda rechazan reconocer a De la Espriella.

Ghost dives into a jam-packed NATO summit in Ankara, where Trump shows up dressed like he's attending NATO's funeral (his words, basically) and proceeds to cozy up to Erdogan over F35 jets, lifted sanctions, and some very pointed remarks about allies who didn't show up when it mattered. Meanwhile Netanyahu is not thrilled, Macron can't seem to take his sunglasses off after a bombing in Damascus, and Giorgia Meloni finds herself an unlikely folk hero across Italy's entire political spectrum. Then the show pivots hard into Colombia, where Gustavo Petro is naming names, accusing an Israeli intelligence firm of rigging the election, and calling for nationwide protests on July 20th. It is geopolitics at its most soap opera. Expect maps, government structure breakdowns, a few conspiracy-adjacent detours, and Ghost's trademark habit of reading the room better than most of the leaders he covers.

Pratap Chatterjee, executive director of CorpWatch, joins us to discuss their latest report, MAGA Inc., which identifies the Crypto Czars, the Tech Titans and the Prison Profiteers who have bankrolled and benefited the most from Donald Trump's corrupt regime. Then, Ralph welcomes Elliot Negin, executive editor of Money Trail to talk about how Donald Trump is trying to turn Washington DC into a monument to himself.Pratap Chatterjee is an investigative journalist, producer and executive director of CorpWatch, an organization that works to promote environmental, social and human rights by holding multinational corporations accountable for their actions. He is the author of several books, including Verax: The True History of Whistleblowers, Drone Warfare, and Mass Surveillance, Halliburton's Army, and Iraq Inc.: A Profitable Occupation.Palantir is really critical to understanding how the surveillance state works, especially in identifying people to deport and locations and people to kill in Trump's new wars overseas, such as in Iran…Palantir's data analytical capabilities are actually extremely simplistic and terrible. But when it comes to looking for an easy solution, that's what Palantir offers. And they've been able to offer this to the Trump administration—to have them speed up their political plans such as deportation, such as waging war against Iran by giving them easy answers.Pratap ChatterjeeThe biggest company behind the cryptocurrency used by criminals and drug dealers and gun traffickers has come out of the shadows, into the light, thanks specifically to the credibility offered by the Trump administration. And so this is really a sea change.Pratap ChatterjeeElliott Negin, executive editor of the Substack newsletter Money Trail, is an award-winning writer, illustrator and publication designer. Prior to co-founding Money Trail in February 2025, he was the managing editor of American Journalism Review, editor and art director of Public Citizen and Nuclear Times magazines, a news editor at NPR, and a regular contributor to HuffPost and the Union of Concerned Scientists' Equation. His freelance articles have appeared in The Atlantic, Common Dreams, The Hill, L.A. Progressive, The Nation, Scientific American, the Washington Post and other publications.It turns out that there is a government-owned ballroom less than a mile from the White House that would serve the purposes of a state dinner, which is one of the only events that you would need a ballroom for. If Trump builds a ballroom, it will not be used probably 360 days out of the year… To have a building that big that's going to be sitting empty for all that time makes no sense whatsoever.Elliott NeginRight now, the cost of this ballroom has been escalating… And half of it's supposed to be covered by taxpayers. Give credit to Public Citizen. It did a report that found out that more than half the donors that were identified as donating to the project when it was pegged at $400 million (including Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Palantir) have gained contracts with the federal government worth more than $50 billion in the last six months. That's a hell of a return on investment.Elliott NeginNews 7/3/26* Our top stories this week are the Colorado primaries. First, DSA-backed insurgent Melat Kiros successfully ousted 29-year incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Diana DeGette in the state's first congressional district, winning in a surprise blowout of over 13 points. Kiros, a 29-year old Tigrayan-American lawyer and PhD student, was fired from Sidley Austin – a “biglaw” firm in 2023, after she “posted an open letter defending students protesting Israel's war in Gaza from charges of antisemitism,” per Colorado Newsline. Axios reports many House Democrats, speaking anonymously, have bemoaned DeGette's loss, with one accusing Kiros of trafficking in “performative politics,” but Usamah Andrabi, spokesperson for Justice Democrats, one of the main groups that backed Kiros, put it simply when he said “If DeGette didn't deserve a primary, Denverites wouldn't have elected Melat” by double digits.* Also in Colorado, state Attorney General Phil Weiser easily defeated Senator Michael Bennet in the primary to succeed Jared Polis as Governor. While Weiser did run to Bennet's left, the real victory for progressives is that Bennet finishing out his own term means the Colorado Democratic establishment won't be able to appoint someone – likely a centrist member of the House – to replace him, per Axios. Meanwhile, John Hickenlooper, a Colorado Democratic institution won his primary as well, fending off a challenge from his left by state Senator Julie Gonzales. However, Gonzales came within 6 points of Hickenlooper, according to Colorado Public Radio, a tantalizingly close margin. Moreover, not only has Hickenlooper vowed that this would be his final Senate term, many are speculating that Bennet himself won't run when his term ends in 2028. That is all to say, it is possible we have not seen the last of Ms. Gonzales.* Speaking of Gonzales, much has been made of the fact that she “softly” distanced herself from DSA as she launched her primary campaign, per Colorado Pols. Perhaps maintaining that organizational relationship would not have resulted in her victory, but the stunning successes of DSA-backed candidates – including Melat Kiros in Colorado – speaks to the group's impressive organizational muscle. In fact, the group can boast of winning yet another seat in the New York State Assembly, with Maurice “Mo” Brown declaring victory against longtime incumbent Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli in the 129th Assembly District. Magnarelli held the seat for 30 years. Brown won by just over 100 votes after all the absentee and affidavit votes were tallied, according to Syracuse.com. With Brown's victory, DSA will send 16 members to Albany next session, nearly doubling its presence across both chambers of the state legislature.* More impressive than the electoral victories however is the fact that DSA members in office are delivering on their campaign promises. Most notably, in New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has successfully forced a vote through the Rent Guidelines Board to enact a rent freeze for the Big Apple's 1 million rent-stabilized apartments, Time reports. These units make up a whopping 27% of the city's housing stock and house around 2 million people. Mamdani's predecessor, the corporate-friendly Democrat Eric Adams, pushed through rent hikes via the guidelines board, raising the rent by 12.6% over the course of his term in office. Mamdani called this the “relief that working people across our city deserve.” This move has, predictably, drawn the ire of landlords and their industry representatives, but there is no denying that the people of New York City voted for Mamdani in large part for this exact policy and he delivered.* In Congress, another socialist – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – is fighting for key amendments to the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act. These run the gamut from prohibiting the transfer of weapons to countries hampering the delivery of humanitarian aid, such as Israel, to demanding that the Secretary of Defense conduct declassification reviews or release unclassified reports on American assistance to the dictatorship in Brazil and the coup in Chile, barring Pentagon funds from being used to enforce sanctions on Cuba, and many more. As the scope of national legislation has narrowed in recent decades, amendments to massive flagship funding bills like the NDAA have become a primary means of getting legislation through the gridlock. It is very encouraging to see AOC take advantage of this mechanism to force votes on these issues.* Of course, the centrists will not simply cede power to the left without a fight. Yahoo reports 13 Democratic House members and candidates have signed onto what they are calling the “Promise to America,” consisting mainly of vague commitments to principles like “Growth, Competition, and Broad Prosperity,” or “Safety, Security, and Human Dignity.” They have also stepped up their rhetoric, saying “there's going to be a war” between themselves and the new crop of progressive and DSA lawmakers, per Fox News. Of course, this all makes one wonder whether the Democrats would be in this position at all if they were this confrontational with the Republicans instead of their own voter base.* Another emerging theater of combat between the center and the left is the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The CHC is led by the lame duck New York Congressman Adriano Espaillat, who was defeated in his primary by Darializa Avila Chevalier. Both Espaillat and Avila Chevalier – or DAC as she has come to be known – are Dominican, despite Espaillat's last-minute smear campaign calling her Haitian, and she plans to join the CHC once she takes her seat in the House. Yet, POLITICO reports the CHC is divided about admitting DAC. While no member is going so far as to say outright that she should not be admitted, many, such as CHC Whip Sylvia Garcia of Texas, are saying things like if DAC is “aligned with all our priorities and all our legislative programs, we would welcome her.” Of course this raises the question of if she is not, would they still welcome her. The all-Democratic CHC has previously barred the entry of Republican Hispanic Congressman Carlos Curbelo of Florida and the Congressional Black Caucus barred Espaillat himself from joining after a feud between him and former Congressman Charles Rangel. In addition to DAC's accession, the CHC will also have to decide on a new leader with Espaillat gone. The Vice-Chair, Darren Soto of Florida, may lose reelection due to redistricting in Florida, leaving the seat up for grabs.* In more Florida-related news, on June 25th Florida Governor Ron DeSantis formally announced the closure of “Alligator Alcatraz” the immigrant detention facility much hyped in the early days of the second Trump administration. While DeSantis claims that the facility had simply “fulfilled the role it was designed to serve,” there is an alternate story being told in the native community. Native News Online has published a statement by Judith LeBlanc (Caddo), executive director of Native Organizers Alliance, which highlights that the facility was constructed and operated “in violation of the sovereign rights of the Miccosukee Tribe, who took the government to court for illegally constructing the center without their consultation or consent,” and hailed the closure as “a victory for human rights and Tribal Sovereignty.” The statement further decried “The administration's violent crackdown on migrant communities” as “an affront to all we stand for as Native peoples.”* Turning further south, the Guardian is out with a chilling story concerning the death of Monika Silva Koniuszek, a Polish anti-corruption activist, who was supposedly investigating self-dealing within the ruling Noboa family of Ecuador. According to her colleagues, Silva Koniuszek was investigating “Noboa Trading, the fruit conglomerate belonging to the family of the rightwing president, Daniel Noboa.” Specifically, they said she had been pursuing allegations that “several tonnes of cocaine had been seized in Noboa Trading banana containers,” and that “high-ranking Ecuadorian judicial officials were stalling the investigations.” Additionally, “Shortly before she was killed, she told friends that she had delivered a dossier of allegations to the US embassy in Quito.” Koniuszek was found dead with a noose around her neck, and Ecuador's interior minister announced that she had died by suicide even before the autopsy results were released. Once those results came out, they contradicted this claim, finding that her cause of death was “a blow to the head and strangulation.”* Finally, in neighboring Colombia, leftist candidate Ivan Cepeda, who lost the recent presidential election, has called on the people of that country to engage in mass civil disobedience, according to Jorge Bastidas, a Colombian Congressman and member of Cepeda's party. Specifically, Cepeda is demanding that the Colombian people not recognize the presidency of Abelardo de la Espriella unless and until he meets certain demands, including renouncing his U.S. nationality, disproving claims that he is a CIA collaborator, and vowing not to persecute and extradite his political opponents including outgoing President Gustavo Petro. Cepeda has stressed that this mass action, if pursued, will be peaceful.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Ghost opens this bonus episode with Thomas Massie's 420-0 House vote to expose which members paid off sexual misconduct allegations with taxpayer money, then delivers his GART closing remarks calling Congress a crime scene that needs a forensic team, not a press release. Colombia's post-election fallout gets a full breakdown: El Tigre's ties to Alex Saab and the Maduro orbit, Gustavo Petro's documented anti-cartel record being memory-holed, and the contradiction of neocon Republicans backing a man who was Maduro's lawyer. Venezuela's twin 7.5 and 7.2 magnitude earthquakes have left 2,000 dead and 10,000 missing, and Ghost flags the Clinton Global Initiative activating on the ground with a pointed reference to Laura Silsby and Haiti. Burkina Faso formally severs ties with France, and Ghost maps out Ibrahim Traore's full story alongside a psyop trying to paint him as an Israeli puppet. Italy quietly blocks NATO's open-ended Ukraine commitment for 2027. Trump tells reporters Erdogan and Xi both stayed out of the Iran war at his personal request. The episode closes with Syria as the next flashpoint: IDF troops terrorizing villages inside Syrian territory, Erdogan warning Turkey is next, and Ghost's prediction of an Israel-Turkey confrontation finally coming into view.

Reviva el programa del 1 de julio de 2026. En La Luciérnaga, mezcla extraña de realidad y ficción, abordamos la situación en Venezuela, las declaraciones sobre desobediencia civil, la gira de Gustavo Petro en Italia y las noticias deportivas.Programa completo y más información en caracol.com.co

Ralph speaks to economist Dean Baker about the hypocrisies behind the supposed Social Security shortfall and Republicans' "waste, fraud, and abuse" panic. Then, Ralph talks to journalist and ocean activist David Helvarg about his new book: Forest of the Sea: The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp.Dean Baker is a Senior Economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, where he authors “Beat the Press,” his regular commentary on economic reporting. He has written several books, including Getting Back to Full Employment: A Better Bargain for Working People, The End of Loser Liberalism: Making Markets Progressive, False Profits: Recovering from the Bubble Economy, and The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer.People will hear big numbers. They'll hear “$300 billion” and they'll go “Oh my God, that's a lot of money. That's money out of my pocket. It's causing the government deficit,” whatever. That's because they haven't given it any context…If we could, in any conceivable world, afford to pay $500 billion to increase the military budget, surely we can afford to pay $300 billion to ensure that everyone gets their Social Security benefits. It's just a case of: put it in context. I'm not going to say it's a small number. It isn't. But it's smaller— $300 billion is smaller than $500 billion, and that's really not a disputable point.Dean BakerWhere [DOGE] had the biggest consequences is with foreign aid. [Musk] just got a big kick out of that— USAID, he just shut it down. He boasted about that. He goes, “Last weekend I fed USAID into the wood chipper.” That's almost verbatim what he said. Now, what this meant was that you have people— and you could find waste in that program just like any other program, but this is a program that provided millions of people with medicine, with nutrition, with healthcare. And suddenly they couldn't get it…And Elon Musk was boasting that he killed that program. That's great. But millions of people, I mean, thankfully, I don't think it's millions yet, but if that program doesn't get restarted or funded somewhere else, you're going to see millions of people lose their lives.Dean BakerSo we're saying we have people on Medicaid that are committing fraud? No one gets a check from Medicaid. What would that even mean? Like, you signed up for Medicaid and you weren't eligible, so that would mean that they might be making a payment to a doctor or hospital that they don't actually have to make because you didn't qualify? I'm sure that happens sometimes but it's not like someone's living high on the hog because they were able to get Medicaid to pay for their doctor's visit when it actually shouldn't have.Dean BakerDavid Helvarg is a journalist and ocean activist. He is the founder and executive director of Blue Frontier, an ocean policy and media group, and producer of Rising Tide: The Ocean Podcast. He has produced more than 40 documentaries for media outlets, including PBS and the Discovery Channel. And he has written several books, including Blue Frontier, The War Against the Greens, and Forest of the Sea: The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp.I've been pushing with my colleagues in journalism the idea of the “blue beat.” The only resource in the ocean not fully exploited at this point is good investigative reporting and narrative storytelling. Because people don't connect with it, a lot of people think the environment ends at the shoreline. And that's really where 95% of the living space on the planet begins.David HelvargPeople at least know that corals are in trouble and they have some sense of what a coral reef is. People don't know that the planet has this other forest crisis—that kelp forests cover an area larger than the Amazon basin, and they're also being impacted by these marine heat waves that are growing every year. And as you add more heat to the system, it gets more energetic, which is why we have more and more extreme storms. I covered Katrina in 2005. I thought that would be a turning point (we had 1,800 people killed and a million environmental refugees). But the propaganda by the oil and gas industry is such that we keep having these disasters from a warming ocean planet, we see the melting of the Arctic ice, and instead of an alarm bell, it became a dinner bell for all the shipping industries and people who want to exploit the oil and gas in the increasingly open Arctic waters. So we're in this crisis point. I'm more frustrated than despairing because we know what the solutions are. It's creating the political will to enact them.David HelvargWhen I started Blue Frontier 20 years ago, the main threats were overfishing and pollution—oil, chemical, plastic, nutrient pollution. Today, that's being overwhelmed by these marine heat waves.David HelvargNews 6/26/26* Our top story this week comes to us from New York City, where democratic socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani has pulled off a stunning hat trick, with all three candidates for Congress endorsed by the Mayor winning their primaries on Tuesday. The most surprising victory is that of Darializa Avila Chevalier, who ousted the powerful incumbent Congressman Adriano Espaillat, head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in New York's 13th congressional district. This primary had turned ugly, with Espaillat's campaign seeking to weaponize anti-Haitian racism in the Dominican community against Avila Chevalier, per the Haitian Times, despite the fact that she is not in fact Haitian. Impressive in another way is the victory of UAW organizer and New York State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez in New York's 7th district. Much has been made of this race being a proxy battle between Mamdani and his onetime supporter, retiring Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, who backed her protégé, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso to succeed her in this seat. Reynoso enjoyed the support of a broad range of New York elected officials – including Velazquez along with New York Attorney General Letitia James, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, and a broad range of unions and civil society groups, most notably the Working Families Party – but was absolutely trounced by Valdez, who won by over 20 points with the support of Mamdani and NYC-DSA. Meanwhile, in the 10th district, Brad Lander won by an even greater margin, outrunning incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman by over 30 points while running on a pro-Palestine platform in the most Jewish congressional district in America. These victories send a clear signal to the sclerotic, ossified leadership of the Democratic Party. The only question now is will they listen.* Beyond the congressional races, DSA won a remarkable number of races at the state level. According to Democratic Left, DSA will send as many as seven new legislators to Albany this cycle, for a total of “four state senators and 11 or 12 members of the state assembly.” As the magazine notes, this means that the “2027-2028 socialist bloc in Albany will be the second largest in a state legislature in U.S. history…behind 20 members in Wisconsin in 1919 and ahead of 14 members in Wisconsin in 1911.” Within New York City, DSA endorsed candidates won seven out of eight races for seats in the state legislature, per NYC-DSA. All told, it was a thunderous victory for the left in New York and raises the clout of Zohran and his compatriots to dizzying heights.* Meanwhile, in Washington DC, NOTUS reports the local DSA has exploded in membership, adding nearly 1,000 new members since this time last year. This growing bloc flexed its political muscle in the recent Democratic primaries, electing DSA members Janeese Lewis George for Mayor and Aparna Raj for the Ward 1 seat on the DC Council, as well as Oye Owolewa for an at-large seat. Axios notes that they are already eying, “two more openings — to fill Lewis George's Ward 4 seat and the at-large seat of Congress-bound Robert White.” If these votes go in DSA's favor, Lewis George could assume the mayoralty with a progressive majority of seven out of 13 members on the Council. Since her victory last Tuesday, Lewis George has emphasized her plan to lower utility costs through “expanding government solar,” and “balcony solar” for apartment tenants, optimizing efficiency at local government agencies and maximizing federal housing grants.* In Maryland, the results for DSA and progressives more generally were not quite so decisive but the left notched key victories nonetheless. DSA endorsed candidate McKayla Wilkes won her primary for the Charles County Commission and incumbent State Delegate Gabriel Acevero won reelection to his seat. Senators Dalya Attar and Nancy King, both centrist incumbents, lost to progressive challengers, per Maryland Matters. Will Jawando in Montgomery County won the County Executive position with broad support from the Maryland political establishment and progressives, while Maryland Senate Majority Leader Bill Ferguson fended off his first real challenge in years only after a last minute pledge to reverse his position on Maryland congressional redistricting. However, in the 5th congressional district, Steny Hoyer protégé and “AIPAC-backed” Adrian Boafo won the primary to succeed his mentor in Congress. According to the Jerusalem Post, “AIPAC poured $5.7 million into his campaign through its super PAC.” Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn came in a distant third place, despite scoring the endorsement of Nancy Pelosi. In short, the left has more work to do in order to build a political machine in Maryland as they have in New York and DC.* The next major contest between the factions of the party will occur next week in Colorado, where Melat Kiros, a DSA-backed progressive challenger born in 1997, is taking on Congresswoman Diana DeGette, who first took office that same year, per Zeteo. According to a poll conducted on behalf of the Kiros-aligned Justice Democrats, she leads DeGette by five points and she has now won the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders. Senator and former Governor John Hickenlooper is also facing a progressive primary challenge from State Senator Julie Gonzales and, according to the polls, he holds but a single digit lead, the Coloradan reports. We will be watching both of these races closely.* Meanwhile in Congress, the Senate has passed a new resolution on Iran, this time directing Trump to “remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by Congress, other than to defend America, an ally or partner from ‘imminent attack,'” according to the Wall Street Journal. The Journal notes that while the resolution is nonbinding, it was previously passed by the House, marking “the first time both chambers of Congress have passed the same measure to curb” presidential power to wage war on the Islamic Republic. The resolution passed 50-48, with the support of Republican Senators Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul. Senators Mitch McConnell and Dave McCormick were absent, and Senator John Fetterman again broke ranks with the Democrats to vote no.* Turning from the Senate floor to the shop floor, the United Auto Workers (UAW) concluded their 39th Constitutional Convention last week, with a momentous vote to divest the union's investments from Israel bonds. UAW's divestment decision is the latest victory in the campaign to disentangle the finances of American organized labor from the state of Israel, following the United Electrical Workers (UE) in 2015 and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in 2023. UAW members also heard from Abdul El-Sayed, the candidate the union has endorsed in the Michigan Senate race. This contentious campaign will not be over until August, but El-Sayed, occupying the progressive lane, has moved into the lead and appears to be consolidating his lead, winning the endorsement of Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen just this week, per the Traverse City Record-Eagle. Van Hollen himself has recently begun hinting that he may seek higher office, recently telling NOTUS that he is “kicking the tires” on a 2028 presidential bid.* Turning to foreign affairs, this week saw the fall of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer, a centrist who was elected Labour Party leader in 2020 following the ouster of leftist Jeremy Corbyn, has held the post of Prime Minister since 2024 when Labour won an historic landslide. Since then however, his personal approval rating and that of the party has cratered, creating space for the rise of the far-right Reform UK party. The BBC reports Starmer will remain in his post until a new leader is chosen from within the party, with the presumptive successor being MP Andy Burnham who recently beat back a challenge in his own seat by a Reform candidate by a large margin. Starmer is now set to be the shortest serving Labour PM in British history, while Burnham is set to become the UK's seventh Prime Minister in the last ten years, both indications of the precariousness of the post-Brexit British political order.* Our final two stories come to us from Latin America. First, in Bolivia, the country's union confederation has maintained a general strike against the right-wing government of Rodrigo Paz for nearly two months over his administration's initiatives to privatize government services and rescind the land reform program instituted over the last several decades of rule by the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). On June 19th, journalist Ollie Vargas reported that the government had blinked and signed an agreement to withdraw these plans in exchange for the unions ending the general strike. However, Vargas notes that “most affiliated unions state that they want to maintain strike until [the Paz government] resigns.”* Finally, in Colombia, the right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella emerged victorious from Sunday's runoff presidential election, defeating leftist Ivan Cepeda, the handpicked successor of sitting President Gustavo Petro, by less than one percentage point. In the immediate wake of the election, President Petro “alleged that Israel interfered” in the election, citing “irregularities in the country's vote counting process and calling for a full audit and recount,” per Drop Site News. However, by Wednesday, Cepeda himself formally conceded, framing his decision to do so as “an act of democratic responsibility, to contribute to harmony, peace and dialogue among Colombians,” Al Jazeera reports. As one of his first acts, Abelardo de la Espriella has committed to reestablishing diplomatic relations with Israel, which had been severed under President Petro.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group experts Renata Segura and Elizabeth Dickinson about Colombia's presidential election, in which right-wing outsider Abelardo “El Tigre” de la Espriella won by a razor-thin margin. They unpack a bitter campaign and what the result reveals about a country still deeply divided. They assess outgoing President Gustavo Petro's legacy and the failure of his “total peace” policy, which sought to reduce violence through dialogue with Colombia's many armed and criminal groups. They explain how those groups increasingly exert power by controlling civilians and local economies, rather than primarily by fighting the state. They also discuss De la Espriella's promised security crackdown, the dangers it could bring, Latin America's rightward shift and what to watch as he takes office.Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.For more, check out our Colombia page.

Colombia's Presidential Shift Toward Security and Law and Order. Guest: Evan Ellis. Abelardo de la Espriellaappears to have won the Colombian presidency, promising a crackdown on insecurity and organized crime modeled after El Salvador's policies. His victory signals a likely return to strong security cooperation with the United States and a departure from the policies of Gustavo Petro. 91900 MEXICO

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOCR SHOW, 6-24-2026MEXICO CITYThe Imprisonment of Jimmy Lai and the Future of Hong Kong. Guest: Mark Clifford and Gordon Chang. Jimmy Lai has spent over 2,000 days in prison, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Chinese Communist Party. His fate mirrors that of Hong Kong, which is transforming into a national security state where surveillance and espionage extend to international cities like London. 1US Navy Control and the Opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Rebecca Grant and Gordon Chang. Despite Iranian claims of closure, the US Navy maintains tactical control over the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring sea lanes remain open for international shipping. Advanced mine-clearing technology and persistent patrols have neutralized threats, though economic signals like the Jones Act waiver remain points of discussion. 2Canadian Public Opinion on the Chinese Threat and US Trade. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang. A majority of Canadians perceive China as a threat following revelations of election interference and malign influence operations. Meanwhile, concerns grow regarding the reliability of the United States as a partner under the Trumpadministration and the potential abrogation of the USMCA trade agreement. 3Strengthening Defense Ties Between the Philippines and Canada. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang.Canada is deepening security cooperation with the Philippines to counter Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea. This partnership includes logistical agreements and military training, even as Canada faces challenges protecting its own Arctic sovereignty against increasing Russian and Chinese strategic reach in the North. 4Ukrainian Drone Attacks Cripple Russian Oil Infrastructure. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Cheap Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted Russian refineries and fuel transport, causing significant shortages of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. This technological warfare has forced Russia to ban exports and implement rationing, as traditional air defense systems struggle to counter swarms of small, maneuverable drones. 5Declining Russian Oil Production and the Shadow Fleet. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Russian oil production is falling due to aging fields and a lack of investment, failing to meet OPEC quotas. While Russia utilizes a "shadow fleet" to bypass sanctions, it must offer steep discounts to India and China as Brent crude prices decline and fiscal pressures mount. 6European Heatwave, Commodity Prices, and UK Political Shifts. Guest: Simon Constable. A "Godzilla El Niño" has triggered record-breaking heatwaves across Europe, impacting energy demand and agriculture. Amid falling Brent crude prices, attention shifts to UK politics, where the potential rise of Andy Burnham within the Labour Party signals a move toward higher taxes and increased government spending. 7The Infrastructure and Economic Impact of Data Centers. Guest: Simon Constable. Data centers have become essential infrastructure for AI development, consuming vast amounts of water and electricity. While they provide significant tax revenue for localities, particularly in states like Virginia and Texas, their construction often faces local opposition due to their immense resource requirements and costs. 8Colombia's Presidential Shift Toward Security and Law and Order. Guest: Evan Ellis. Abelardo de la Espriellaappears to have won the Colombian presidency, promising a crackdown on insecurity and organized crime modeled after El Salvador's policies. His victory signals a likely return to strong security cooperation with the United States and a departure from the policies of Gustavo Petro. 9Keiko Fujimori and the Return of the Fujimori Dynasty. Guest: Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori has likely secured the Peruvian presidency, narrowly defeating her socialist opponent through overseas votes. Her administration faces a deeply divided nation, widespread illegal mining, and cocaine production, but may benefit from a new bicameral Congress intended to provide greater political stability than previous years. 10Political Instability in Bolivia and Regional Alliances. Guest: Evan Ellis. President Rodrigo Paz has survived a 50-day crisis in Bolivia after declaring a state of emergency to clear blockades led by Evo Morales. While regional allies have supported Paz, Brazil's absence from this coalition highlights President Lula's role as a principal counterweight to US influence. 11Mexico's Economic Growth and USMCA Renegotiation Tensions. Guest: Evan Ellis. The Mexican economy saw its sharpest expansion in five years, yet the upcoming USMCA renegotiation creates significant uncertainty. While Mexicoattempts to appease the US through high-level investigations into cartel-linked officials, the Sheinbaum government remains hesitant to fully confront powerful political figures within its own party. 12Pope Leo XIV's Warning on Artificial Intelligence. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. In a 43,000-word encyclical, Pope Leo XIV warns that artificial intelligence risks dehumanizing society and excluding God from the human experience. While acknowledging technological benefits, the Pope emphasizes the danger of treating humans as mere means and the erosion of authentic human relationships in favor of machines. 13AI in Education and the Necessity of Liberal Learning. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. The rise of AI in academia tempts students to bypass the essential struggle of thinking, leading to intellectual atrophy. Educators argue that liberal education is now more vital than ever to help students cultivate a flourishing mind and recognize the limitations of technological shortcuts. 14Private Innovation and Infrastructure Challenges in Space. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. SpaceX successfully defeated legal challenges in Texas while NASA's aging infrastructure faces funding gaps and restrictive laws. Meanwhile, private startups like Catalyst are attempting robotic satellite rescues, signaling a shift toward a capitalist model in space operations as government agencies struggle with delays and inefficiencies. 15New Discoveries in Planetary Science and Cosmology. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The Lucy probe's flyby of asteroid Donaldjohanson revealed a "tumbling peanut" shape, providing insights into its 155-million-year history. Additionally, observations of asymmetric radio galaxies highlight galactic movement through the intergalactic medium, while debates continue among cosmologists regarding the existence and properties of dark energy. 16One correction folded in: Labour Party (UK spelling) in file 7. I also expanded the file 9 headline's "Law Order" to "Law and Order" — flag if you wanted it left verbatim.

Ghost opens episode 116 with Trump's latest gaggle confirming the Hormuz naval blockade is history, US farmers are getting paid to feed Iran, and critics like Ted Cruz need to be "educated" on the deal's terms. The IAEA inspections dispute gets the full treatment: Ghost breaks down how Iran only denied inspecting its bombed facilities, not all facilities, and why the media is deliberately misrepresenting the gap. Pakistan PM Sharif and Iran's president both confirm ballistic missiles were never on the table, period. Ghost then turns to the Jerusalem News Syndicate summit, walking through Mark Levin's unhinged speech, Netanyahu's "kill them first" Talmud citation calling the diaspora to fight back, and Naftali Bennett's bombshell admission that he was smuggling tens of thousands of Starlink receivers into Iran to support a regime change operation. Israel's Diaspora Affairs Minister declares the new enemy axis is Turkey, Syria, and Qatar, which are precisely Trump's three closest Middle East allies. Keir Starmer's resignation gets Ghost's theory that European elites pushed him out for being too cooperative with Trump. The episode closes with Colombia's razor-thin election of Trump-endorsed "El Tigre," his background as Alex Saab's lawyer, and Gustavo Petro's accusation that Israel hacked Colombian election servers.

Convidados: Danilo Alves, editor da GloboNews Internacional e enviado especial para a cobertura das eleições no Peru e na Colômbia; e Maurício Santoro, doutor em Ciência Política pelo Iuperj (Instituto Universitário de Pesquisas do Rio de Janeiro) e colaborador do Centro de Estudos Político-Estratégicos da Marinha do Brasil. Os resultados ainda não são oficiais, mas as apurações dos votos na Colômbia e no Peru indicam que os dois países elegeram presidentes de direita. A eleição peruana foi realizada em 7 de junho e está com 99,7% dos votos contabilizados: Keiko Fujimori tem cerca de 40 mil votos de vantagem sobre o candidato de esquerda, Roberto Sánchez. Keiko é filha de Alberto Fujimori, ditador peruano que governou o país entre 1990 e 2000 e que foi condenado por corrupção e crimes contra a humanidade. Na Colômbia, os eleitores foram às urnas neste domingo (21) e elegeram o empresário Abelardo de la Espriella, de acordo com a contagem preliminar: são menos de 250 mil votos sobre Iván Cepeda, senador e candidato que tem o apoio do atual presidente Gustavo Petro. Abelardo fez campanha baseado nos discursos "anti-establishment" e “linha-dura” contra o crime, inspirado no presidente de El Salvador Nayib Bukele. O resultado nas urnas reforça a tendência das últimas eleições sul-americanas, que elegeram candidatos do campo conservador. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery tem dois convidados. Primeiro, ela fala com Danilo Alves, correspondente da GloboNews que foi a Lima e está em Bogotá, sobre o resultado das eleições. Depois, Natuza entrevista o cientista político Maurício Santoro sobre o movimento de direita que se forma no continente e a influência de Donald Trump nesse processo histórico.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta terça-feira (23): As pré-campanhas de Tarcísio de Freitas e Fernando Haddad já recalculam seus cenários após as desistências de Kim Kataguiri e Paulo Serra na disputa pelo governo de São Paulo. Levantamentos internos indicam que os votos de Kim tendem a migrar integralmente para Tarcísio, enquanto o eleitorado de Paulo Serra deve se dividir entre os dois principais pré-candidatos. O movimento reforça a expectativa de aliados do governador por uma possível vitória ainda no primeiro turno. As denúncias de violência digital contra mulheres cresceram 188,6% nos cinco primeiros meses de 2026, segundo o Ministério das Mulheres.

Colombia celebró este domingo la segunda vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales. Los resultados confirman lo que ya vimos el pasado 31 de mayo. El país se ha partido en dos mitades casi idénticas. Abelardo de la Espriella, abogado de 47 años conocido como El Tigre y candidato del movimiento Defensores de la Patria, se ha impuesto en el escrutinio provisional al senador Iván Cepeda por un margen tan estrecho que durante unas horas parecía reversible. Los datos de este escrutinio otorgan a De la Espriella alrededor del 49,6% de los sufragios frente al 48,7% de Cepeda, una diferencia de unos 250.000 votos en unas elecciones en las que participaron más de 25 millones de votantes. La cifra resulta llamativa porque ambos aspirantes superaron en número de votos a los que Gustavo Petro consiguió en 2022, prueba de que la polarización no aleja a los electores de las urnas sino que los empuja hacia ellas. El perfil del ganador explica buena parte de la historia. De la Espriella ha conseguido recoger votos del centro mientras encarna una derecha de tono muy combativo tras cuatro años de gobierno de izquierdas. Tiene triple nacionalidad colombiana, estadounidense e italiana, y es dueño un bufete con sede en Colombia y Miami. Su rival, Cepeda, filósofo de 63 años e hijo de Manuel Cepeda Vargas, líder de la Unión Patriótica asesinado en 1994, ha construido toda su carrera en el entorno de la izquierda colombiana, una biografía que para media Colombia era aval y para la otra media, sospecha. El voto del exterior introdujo un matiz que no pasó inadvertido. Estados Unidos concentraba el mayor número de colombianos habilitados para votar fuera del país, más de 450.000, allí De la Espriella ya arrasó en primera vuelta y ha vuelto a hacerlo. El actual presidente, Gustavo Petro, deslizó en la madrugada que el país se acercaba a la situación peruana y denunció formularios E-14 sin firma de los jurados. La maniobra buscaba sembrar dudas sobre un resultado que, aunque ajustado, parece concluyente. Cepeda ha reconocido el escrutinio provisional, aunque también se ha encargado de advertir que está en espera de los resultados oficiales, algo comprensible dada la distancia tan pequeña entre los dos candidatos. De la Espriella, en cambio, salió a celebrar en Barranquilla con un discurso de reconciliación nacional muy bien calculado. Prometió gobernar para todos, aseguró que no habría vencedores ni vencidos y dio por clausurada la campaña, la fórmula clásica del vencedor que necesita ensanchar su base tan pronto como conquista el poder. Queda por delante que este conteo preliminar se convierta en oficial. Luego vendrá la toma de posesión, que está prevista para el 7 de agosto. Colombia culminará así un giro a la derecha que invierte el experimento Petro y que tendrá efectos inmediatos sobre la relación con Estados Unidos. El país, entretanto, dividido al milímetro, deberá comprobar si las palabras conciliadoras del presidente electo sobreviven al primer roce con la realidad o si la mitad derrotada decide que la partida aún no ha terminado.

Colombians are voting in a presidential run-off election. The vote pits a leftist reformer against a right-wing political newcomer who wants to use force to combat drug cartels and rebel groups. Abelardo de la Espriella, who's backed by President Trump, has vowed to wage a full-scale military campaign in contrast to Senator Ivan Cepeda who's promising to continue the less confrontational policies of the outgoing president, Gustavo Petro.Also in the programme: US Vice-President JD Vance describes 'great progress' in talks with Iran in Switzerland; and research that suggests men with children have better performing brains.(Photo: A man fills out a ballot as people vote in a presidential runoff election in Colombia, June 21, 2026.

A Colômbia encontra-se diante de uma potencial guinada política sem precedentes em sua história recente. Nas eleições presidenciais de 2026, o advogado outsider Abelardo de la Espriella, apelidado de "El Tigre", conquistou cerca de 44% dos votos no primeiro turno sob uma plataforma rigorosa de tolerância zero à criminalidade. Inspirado por lideranças como Nayib Bukele, Donald Trump e Javier Milei, o candidato independente propõe medidas contundentes para combater o narcoterrorismo, incluindo a construção de dez megapresídios em meio à selva colombiana e o emprego de força máxima pelas Forças Armadas contra grupos armados que recusem a rendição. Este avanço desestruturou as alianças tradicionais do país, unindo antigos adversários conservadores em seu apoio e gerando intensas reações por parte do atual presidente Gustavo Petro. O fenômeno reflete uma tendência que se espalha por diversos países da América Latina, onde o desgaste perante a violência do crime organizado impulsiona demandas por segurança e lideranças de pulso firme. Neste vídeo da Brasil Paralelo, analisamos a complexa trajetória de De la Espriella — desde sua influente carreira na advocacia criminal até sua ascensão política —, os impactos práticos de um modelo penitenciário salvadorenho adaptado ao território colombiano e as implicações deste cenário para o futuro geopolítico do continente. ________________

Les Colombiens votent ce dimanche 21 juin 2026 pour désigner le successeur de Gustavo Petro, premier président de gauche de l'histoire du pays. Ils ont le choix entre son dauphin, le sénateur Ivan Cepeda, et l'avocat Abelardo de la Espriella. Le candidat de l'extrême droite est en tête des sondages, porté par son discours sécuritaire inspiré du président du Salvador, Nayib Bukele. La Colombie connaît actuellement une vague de violences inédite depuis dix ans. Si la situation est particulièrement tendue dans les régions du pays contrôlées par des groupes armés, l'insécurité est également forte dans les grandes villes où certains habitant s'organisent pour se protéger.  À Belmira, quartier chic du nord de Bogota, la crainte principale des habitants, c'est le vol à l'arraché. Alors 160 des 226 familles qui vivent ici, payent chaque mois environ 200 euros pour financer une équipe de vigiles 24 heures sur 24, à moto ou à vélo. « Je suis équipé d'une matraque et d'une arme. Un revolver que je peux utiliser en dernier recours si ma vie est menacée et que je ne peux rien faire d'autre. On n'a pas le droit de fouiller ou d'arrêter un délinquant. On peut juste le retenir jusqu'à ce que la police arrive », explique Camilo Pavon-Cruz. Soixante quatre caméras de vidéosurveillance complètent ce dispositif. Elles sont gérées depuis un poste de contrôle installé à côté de l'air de jeux. Huit d'entre elles sont reliées au commissariat, mais Magali Velez, responsable de l'association civique de Belmira, avoue ne pas trop compter sur les forces de l'ordre. « Malheureusement dans ce pays, on a parfois peur de la police. Tous les policiers ne sont pas mauvais. Certains rejoignent les rangs de la police plein d'illusions. Mais parfois, face à la corruption qui est un véritable système, ils sont obligés d'agir mal. Ils n'ont pas d'autre choix. On ne peut pas vraiment faire confiance à la police. C'est donc à nous de nous protéger ». « Ici, c'est le pays de la mort » Depuis un an et demi, la Colombie connaît un regain de violences, essentiellement dans les zones où sévissent des groupes armés sur fond de trafics en tout genre, notamment de cocaïne, mais également dans certaines villes. Une situation que la droite attribue au manque de fermeté de Gustavo Petro et à son plan de « paix totale ». Le président sortant a essayé, en vain, de négocier avec les organisations criminelles pour qu'elles acceptent de déposer les armes.

On vous agresse et on vous tue. Il faut sans cesse faire attention : ne pas sortir son portable dans la rue, ne pas porter de bijoux, regarder par dessus son épaule et ne parler à personne, ni à un enfant, ni à une personne âgée. Il ne faut pas non plus accepter de prospectus. Car on peut vous jeter de la scopolamine, une drogue qui vous fait perdre le contrôle de vous-même et la notion du temps. C'est ça la Colombie ! » Alors dimanche, Gabriella votera pour Abelardo de la Espriella, le candidat de l'extrême droite promet d'employer la manière forte avec les criminels qu'il compte « éradiquer comme des rats ».

Colombia elige a su próximo presidente este domingo entre dos versiones opuestas, en unas elecciones muy reñidas. El candidato de izquierda Iván Cepeda se enfrenta al ultraderechista Abelardo de la Espriella, quien según las últimas encuestas se perfila como favorito. Polarización y división es lo que se respira en estos días pre-electorales en Colombia. En la primera vuelta, la diferencia entre ambos candidatos fue tan solo de un 2,8%, con el ultraderechista Abelardo de la Espriella a la cabeza. Conflicto armado y seguridad Ambos candidatos representan ideas totalmente opuestas que responden a la dinámica del conflicto armado, asegura la profesora de ciencias políticas y estudios globales de la Universidad de los Andes, Sandra Borda. Leer tambiénElecciones Colombia: propuestas opuestas para luchar contra la inseguridad urbana “Venimos de cuatro años de un gobierno que intentó una salida negociada al conflicto armado con varios grupos, disidencias de guerrillas y además organizaciones criminales. Ese intento de paz y ese intento de negociación no funcionó. No hay un solo grupo desmovilizado y, al contrario, lo que sí pasó es que esos grupos terminaron por fortalecerse, aprovechar que hubo un intento de paz sin estar acompañado de una política de seguridad”, explica la profesora. “Normalmente en Colombia cuando pasa eso, lo que sigue es una elección que busca que haya una mano dura frente al conflicto armado, porque la gente se cansa, se agota de la falta de voluntad de paz de esos grupos. Eso ha pasado muchas veces en otros ciclos electorales anteriores y está pasando nuevamente. Pero creo que el tema fundamental en este instante es el tema de la seguridad”, subraya asimismo Borda. Quienes votan por De la Espriella tienen un objetivo principal: sentirse seguros y acabar con los grupos armados. “Lo que él nos promete es que va a darle duro duro al tema de la seguridad y la verdad, yo le tengo fe que quiere hacer las cosas bien”, dice William. “Porque estamos cansados de tanto dolor, tanto sufrimiento y tanta inseguridad, tanta violencia. O por lo menos yo que viví el secuestro hace muchos años, y veo uno que vuelve y pasa lo mismo, es lo que no queremos y no queremos que siga gobernando el partido que está gobernando”, recalca Martha. Leer tambiénColombia: La crisis del sistema de salud, un desafío para el próximo mandatario Avance hacia la igualdad Pero hay otra mirada, la de aquellos que con el partido oficialista de Iván Cepeda sienten un avance hacia la igualdad y ven esta como una solución a la violencia. Para Freddy por ejemplo, votar por Cepeda permitiría “que continúen los cambios sociales que ha venido desarrollando la izquierda en Colombia desde hace cuatro años, las políticas sociales, el respaldo al medioambiente”. Camilo subraya por su parte que para los jóvenes, la izquierda ha significado “tener más ingresos y mejor estabilidad económica”.
