Ayer tuvo lugar una nueva tragedia carcelaria en Uruguay, a raíz de un incendio en una celda. Cuatro presos perdieron la vida encerrados, mientras varios colchones ardían en el módulo 11 de la Unidad 4 B de la cárcel Santiago Vázquez, el ex Comcar. Conversamos En Perspectiva con Graciela Barrera, diputada del MPP, integrante de la Comisión bicameral especial de seguimiento de la situación carcelaria y fundadora de la Asociación de Familiares Víctimas de la Delincuencia. El sindicato de operadores penitenciarios, que agrupa a los funcionarios civiles que trabajan en las cárceles, sostuvo que hay “falta de control del Estado” en el sector donde ocurrieron las muertes y señaló que, al momento de los hechos, había en el Módulo 11 cinco funcionarios para controlar a 700 reclusos.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with sociologist Assaf Bondy and human rights researcher and historian Adam Raz about what they call the "lexicon of brutality," drawing from a recent book the pair published in Hebrew on the language that Israelis use to discuss Palestinians and, specifically, the Israeli war on Gaza. The trio also talk about whether Israel has ever been a democracy and what people in Israel who oppose the genocide can do to resist it. Ha'aretz newspaper published this interview with Bondy in Raz in May 2025: "'Depopulation,' 'Kill Zone,' and 'Second Nakba': The Lexicon of Brutality Exposes How Israelis Talk About the War."  Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a 2025 Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere. He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. Dr. Assaf Bondy is a Labour Sociologist at the University of Bristol who studies the political-economy of employment relations in advanced economies. Bondy's work has been so far dedicated to the study of changing conditions for collective actions and its changing forms and effects – on workers' rights, on inequality, on the structure of employment relations and on the political economy.  Adam Raz is a human rights researcher and historian whose field of research is the political history of the twentieth century and Marxist thought. In recent years Raz has written several books on the history of nuclear weapons in Israel and the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Among his books in Hebrew are: The Struggle for the Bomb (2015), Herzl: The Conflicts of Zionism's Founder with Supporters and Opponents (2017), Kafr Qassem Massacre: A Political Biography (2018), The Military Rule 1948-1966 (2021). In English, he has published The Demagogue – the Mechanics of Political Power (2023) and Loot: How Israel Stole Palestinian Property (2024). Raz works at Akevot: Institute for Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Research. Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

Conversamos En Perspectiva con Tamara Paseyro, ministra de Vivienda. ¿Cuáles son las prioridadades del gobierno de Yamandú Orsi en materia de vivienda? ¿Qué cambios se preparan con respecto a las políticas del gobierno anterior? ¿Aumentará el presupuesto o se reordenarán los recursos que ya venían manejándose? Las autoridades del Ministerio de Vivienda y Ordenamiento Territorial comparecieron ayer por primera vez en la comisión especializada de la Cámara de Diputados, donde expusieron las grandes líneas de la gestión que están preparando. La delegación estuvo encabezada por la ministra Tamara Paseyro, que asumió hace menos de dos meses, en abril, luego de la polémica política que llevó a la renuncia de Cecilia Cairo, la dirigente de primera línea del MPP que había sido designada inicialmente al frente de esa cartera. Hasta ese momento Paseyro venía desempeñandose en esa cartera como directora nacional de Integración Social y Urbana.

La Mesa Especial de Análisis Político con Antonio Cardarello, Daniel Chasquetti, Mariana Pomiés y Camila Zeballos. *** Desde su llegada al Poder Ejecutivo, el gobierno de Yamandú Orsi impuso un estilo diferente en cuanto a la comunicación. Durante la transición, por ejemplo, los ministros designados fueron presentando en conferencias de prensa a los equipos que los acompañarían, publicando además en redes sociales los detalles, con información y fotos tomadas profesionalmente de cada uno de los jerarcas. Luego, algunas autoridades asumieron sus cargos en lugares como el Auditorio Nacional del Sodre, la plaza Huelga General de Flor de Maroñas o, el caso más llamativo, la entonces flamante ministra de Vivienda Cecilia Cairo, que tomó posesión en el asentamiento Campo Galusso. Sin embargo, a medida que pasaron los meses surgieron críticas a Orsi y su equipo de gobierno debido a la forma en que se hicieron algunos anuncios y manejaron situaciones. Un ejemplo se dio con la compra de una estancia en Florida por el Instituto Nacional de Colonización, que fue comunicada por el secretario de Presidencia de la República, Alejandro Sánchez, durante el pasaje del cortejo fúnebre del expresidente José Mujica frente a la sede del MPP. Otro caso, más reciente, fue el cierre de la Biblioteca Nacional para el acceso al público, que fue informado por la directora de la institución en el marco del Día Nacional del Libro. El politólogo Gerardo Caetano lo analizó de esta manera en una entrevista con La Diaria: "A Orsi le está faltando claridad. Orsi tiene muchas virtudes, pero la comunicación política no es una de ellas. Tiene que trabajar mucho en eso, es muy importante. Cuando el presidente habla está gobernando. Han habido falta de sintonía entre él y algunos de sus ministros". ¿Los politólogos perciben un deterioro en la comunicación del gobierno? ¿Por qué es importante para Orsi dar mensajes claros?

What happens when cancer becomes part of your life—but work doesn't stop?In the Season 8 finale of The PQI Podcast, we sit down with Rebecca Nellis, MPP, Executive Director of Cancer and Careers, for an eye-opening conversation about a part of survivorship that often gets overlooked: navigating work during and after treatment.From the stress of disclosing a diagnosis to managing side effects on the job, cancer survivors face tough questions—often without clear answers.

La compra de la estancia María Dolores, en Florida, aprobada la semana pasada por el Instituto Nacional de Colonización (INC), ha provocado una de las mayores polémicas entre la oposición y el oficialismo desde el comienzo del mandato del presidente Yamandú Orsi. El anuncio de la operación, que implica el pago de US$ 32.5 millones por 4.400 hectáreas, fue realizado el miércoles 14 por el secretario de Presidencia, Alejandro Sánchez, cuando el cortejo fúnebre del expresidente José Mujica pasaba frente a la sede del MPP. 24 horas después el senador blanco Sebastián Da Silva salió al cruce con un video en sus redes sociales en el que cuestionaba la decisión y mostraba imágenes del inmueble, al que presentaba como una “estancia señorial”. "Hoy en historias del camino le vamos a mostrar la estancia María Dolores. El regalo de 32 millones y medio de dólares que el gobierno le dejó a José Pepe Mujica. Acompáñenme. Una estancia señorial, 4.400 hectáreas, 17 habitaciones, piscinas, barbacoa, un corral para 10.000 cabezas de ganado, galpones por doquier. Para hacer una colonia en donde no hay ni siquiera alambre, mucho menos un galpón de ordeñe y mucho menos la infraestructura como para ser dividida. María Dolores es otra Pluna, María Dolores es otra regasificadora, María Dolores es otra Ancap. Estamos frente al uso bochornoso de los dineros públicos en un instituto que el ministro de Ganadería, el doctor Fratti, declaró que encontró fundido". Sánchez que defendió, en diálogo con En Perspectiva, la adquisición y expuso las ventajas que tendrá la implantación en ese predio de una colonia dedicada a la lechería. Profundizando con el senador Sebastián Da Silva, del sector Alianza País, del Partido Nacional.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with analyst Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute about Iran and the U.S. Their conversation spans from exploring decision-making authority and processes in Iran to the impact that U.S. sanctions have on ordinary people in Iran, where poverty has risen dramatically. They speak in depth about the regional and economic dynamics that may have primed Iran for a deal with the United States, including a growing recognition about both the potential and limits on what Russia and China can provide, and the possibility that President Trump will break with DC orthodoxy to make a deal. Trita Parsi is the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute. He is an award-winning author and the 2010 recipient of the Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order. He is an expert on US-Iranian relations, Iranian foreign policy, and the geopolitics of the Middle East. He has authored four books on US foreign policy in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran and Israel. His first book, Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Iran, Israel and the United States (Yale University Press, 2007), won the silver medal winner of the 2008 Arthur Ross Book Award from the Council on Foreign Relations. His second book, A Single Roll of the Dice – Obama's Diplomacy with Iran (Yale University Press, 2012) and was selected by Foreign Affairs as the Best Book of 2012 on the Middle East. Parsi's latest book – Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy (Yale University Press, 2017) – reveals the behind the scenes story to the nuclear deal with Iran. Parsi was born in Iran but moved with his family at the age of four to Sweden in order to escape political repression in Iran. His father was an outspoken academic who was jailed by the Shah and then by the Ayatollah. He moved to the United States as an adult and studied foreign policy at Johns Hopkins' School for Advanced International Studies where he received his PhD under Francis Fukuyama and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a 2025 Fellow at FMEP.

Pese a que era esperada, la muerte de José Mujica, que ocurrió ayer, sacudió a Uruguay y también al mundo. Durante su carrera política, el expresidente alcanzó un reconocimiento internacional que ningún otro dirigente político uruguayo había logrado. Un punto de inflexión en las dimensiones que tomaría su figura posteriormente fue el discurso que el exmandatario pronunció en el año 2012, en Río de Janeiro, en la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Desarrollo Sostenible, conocida como Río +20. "El mundo tiene los elementos hoy materiales como para hacer posible que 8 mil millones de personas pueden tener el mismo grado de consumo y despilfarro que tienen las más opulentas sociedades occidentales, ¿será posible? ¿O tendremos que darnos algún día otro tipo de discusión? Hemos creado una civilización hija del mercado, hija de la competencia que ha deparado un progreso material portentoso y explosivo, pero lo que fue economía de mercado ha creado sociedades de mercado. Nos ha deparado esta globalización que significa mirar por todo el planeta. ¿Estamos gobernando la globalización o la globalización nos gobierna a nosotros? ¿Es posible hablar de solidaridad y de que estamos todos juntos en una economía basada en la competencia despiadada? ¿Hasta dónde llega nuestra fraternidad? El desafío que tenemos por delante es de una magnitud de carácter colosal y la gran crisis no es ecológica, es política. El hombre no gobierna hoy las fuerzas que ha desatado, sino que las fuerzas que ha desatado lo gobiernan al hombre”. El rechazo de Mujica al consumo exacerbado y a las dinámicas que plantea el capitalismo en el presente, incluyendo su impacto negativo en el medio ambiente, fue desde entonces una de las banderas de su pensamiento y su acción política. Pero, ¿cuál era la ideología del líder del MPP? Este tema ha dado pie a infinidad de análisis y discusiones. Por ejemplo, cuando algunos lo definían como marxista, él rechazaba de plano esa caracterización. Conversamos En Perspectiva con Leo Harari, exasesor para Unesco, BID, PNUD y OIM.

Le phénomène des groupes d'autodéfense se répand de plus en plus en Haïti, où les forces de l'ordre sont incapables de protéger la population des attaques de gangs. Comment ces brigades de vigilance sont-elles constituées, armées ? Existe-t-il un risque qu'elles se transforment en milices ? On en parle avec Romain Le Cour Grandmaison, directeur pour Haïti à l'organisation Global Initiative. Selon Romain Le Cour Grandmaison, ces brigades jouent un rôle très important dans les quartiers, notamment dans les zones rurales, loin de la capitale, où elles assurent la sécurité au quotidien à travers des barrages, des murs de protection et des patrouilles. Ils opèrent notamment dans les zones qui échappent au contrôle des gangs, d'autant plus que ni la police haïtienne ni la force multinationale ne semblent capables d'intervenir efficacement seules.L'armement de ces brigades est très diversifié, souligne le spécialiste d'Haïti, allant de simples machettes à des fusils semi-automatiques obtenus au marché noir. Romain Le Cour Grandmaison se montre inquiet face à cette évolution rapide et désorganisée : certaines de ces brigades pourraient se transformer en véritables milices, non pas forcément à visée politique comme les Tontons Macoutes ou les Chimères, mais en groupes armés autonomes, difficilement contrôlables, parfois proches des logiques de gangs.Cette situation crée un terrain propice à des représailles violentes contre les civils. Dans des régions comme Port-au-Prince ou l'Artibonite, les affrontements quotidiens entre brigades et gangs exposent la population à une violence extrême. Le risque majeur, selon Romain Le Cour Grandmaison, est de voir s'installer un jeu à trois entre les gangs, la police et les brigades de vigilance, sans distinction claire entre les acteurs. Dans ce contexte, la police haïtienne dépend de plus en plus de ces groupes pour maintenir un semblant de contrôle, ce qui accentue la confusion et aggrave l'instabilité, souligne Romain Le Cour Grandmaison.  José « Pepe » Mujica, « le dernier leader de la gauche » Avec notre correspondant à Buenos Aires, Théo Conscience, nous évoquant l'héritage de l'ancien président uruguayen José « Pepe » Mujica, décédé hier mardi à l'âge de 89 ans. Il a marqué son pays par des réformes audacieuses et une manière très singulière d'exercer le pouvoir. Ancien guérillero des Tupamaros, emprisonné 12 ans sous la dictature, il revient à la vie politique avec la fondation du MPP, qu'il conduit au pouvoir. Une fois élu président en 2010, il refuse les privilèges liés à sa fonction, choisit de rester vivre dans sa ferme, reverse presque tout son salaire à des programmes sociaux et prône une vie simple, en rupture avec la société de consommation. Son discours à l'ONU en 2015, dans lequel il dénonce une civilisation de gaspillage, reste emblématique de sa pensée.L'hommage de la gauche latino-américaine Sur le plan politique, Mujica a mené une série de réformes progressistes qui ont fait de l'Uruguay un pays pionnier sur plusieurs fronts : légalisation de l'avortement, du mariage homosexuel, et surtout, du cannabis en 2013 — une première mondiale. Ces choix, portés par une volonté de proposer une alternative à la logique répressive, ont renforcé sa stature de figure emblématique de la gauche latino-américaine. Proche de Lula, Chavez, et soutien actif de leaders comme Boric ou Petro, Mujica est devenu un porte-voix du Sud et de l'Amérique latine sur la scène internationale. D'ailleurs beaucoup de dirigeants latino-américains, de la présidente mexicaine Claudia Sheinbaum au Chilien Gabriel Boric, en passant par Lula au Brésil, rendent hommage au « dernier leader de la gauche », selon El Pais. Dans la presse uruguayenne, on apprend aussi sa dernière volonté : reposer dans sa ferme, à Rincon del Cerro, près de Montevideo… aux côtés de sa chienne à trois pattes, Manuela. À lire aussiL'ancien président uruguayen José «Pepe» Mujica est mort à l'âge de 89 ans Le virage nataliste de l'administration Trump Le projet de loi fiscale débattu cette semaine au Congrès révèle cette ambition. Le Devoir précise quelques mesures prévues  : des réductions d'impôts pour les familles de deux enfants, un meilleur accès à la garde d'enfants, ou encore un crédit d'impôt pérennisé pour les congés parentaux. Derrière ces mesures, se cache une vision très conservatrice. Le journal canadien parle d'un retour à une Amérique d'antan, où les femmes avaient des enfants et restaient à la maison. Mais les experts sont sceptiques. Toujours selon Le Devoir, les politiques natalistes ont montré leurs limites en Norvège ou en Finlande : elles ne font pas remonter la natalité. En revanche, elles renforcent un modèle patriarcal et une vision nostalgique du rôle des femmes dans la société. Le témoignage glaçant de « Cassie », l'ex-compagne du rappeur Sean Combs, alias P. DiddyCassandra Ventura a raconté devant la justice l'enfer qu'elle a vécu avec le rappeur, accusé notamment de trafic sexuel.Dans le New York Times, on lit le récit de ces années d'abus : des relations sexuelles forcées avec des prostitués masculins, des orgies surnommées freak-offs pouvant durer jusqu'à quatre jours.Elle décrit aussi l'emprise totale de Sean Combs sur elle : il contrôlait tout, de sa vie intime jusqu'à la couleur de ses ongles. Pourquoi être restée ? Par amour, par peur, dit-elle. Elle évoque la manipulation psychologique, la peur de sa colère, de son pouvoir sur sa carrière, et des vidéos compromettantes qu'il gardait comme moyen de chantage.Violence physique aussi. Le juge lui demande combien de fois ? Trop souvent, répond-elle. Le New York Postqui titre sur « une vie en enfer » rappelle que P. Diddy nie tout. Mais s'il est reconnu coupable, il risque la prison à vie.À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: début du procès pour «trafic sexuel» du rappeur Sean Combs, alias P. Diddy

En la última entrevista que realizamos con él aquí En Perspectiva, en diciembre de 2024, Mujica destacaba cómo el MPP había logrado el mejor resultado de su historia sin su involucramiento en la campaña, y valoraba la importancia de lograr recambios en los liderazgos políticos.

In this episode, I dig into a question that's always lurking in the back of a portrait photographer's mind – what really makes light flattering? It's a term we all use, but what does it actually mean? Is it just about soft shadows and low contrast, or is it more about the connection between the subject and the photographer? I talk through this while reflecting on a busy week – from a stunning wedding at Head Saw House to a corporate shoot for Barclays, and a spontaneous portrait session that reminded me why I love this job. I also share some thoughts on the updated Mastering Portrait Photography book, which hits shelves in September, complete with fresh images and a whole new chapter on AI post-production. If you've ever wondered what makes a light truly flattering – and why it's about more than just the gear – this episode is for you. And as always, wherever you are and whatever you're doing, be kind to yourself. Cheers P.

I started it with a trip down to Devon with the in-laws. One great thing about being married to Sarah, whose family are from Plymouth, there are many great things about being married to Sarah. But one of the ones, in terms of geography, at least, is her family still lived down in Plymouth, in Devon, by the sea. So it was absolutely glorious to spend a couple of days down there walking the dog, drinking a beer, enjoying the sunshine, and the sun is still shining here right now. And on that happy note, I'm Paul. I'm very much looking forward to a barbecue, and this is the Mastering Portrait  

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor and author Ben Ehrenreich cover a range topics reflecting Ben's reporting and analysis on Israel/Palestine and U.S. policy, including West Bank Palestinians' relationships to affecting change through nonviolent action, the Biden Administration and Democratic Party's approaches to Palestine and Israel's genocidal war in Gaza, Zionism, and media complicity in genocide. They draw from Ben's recent essays "After Nonviolence" (Harper's, May 2025); "You Don't Get Trump Without Gaza" (The Nation, April 2025); and his 2009 op-ed, Zionism is the Problem (LA Times).  Ben Ehrenreich is the author of two books of nonfiction, Desert Notebooks and The Way to the Spring, based on his reporting from the West Bank; two novels, Ether and The Suitors; and many articles, stories, and essays.  Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a 2025 Fellow at FMEP.

It's a late Sunday afternoon, the sun is shining, and the smell of freshly cut grass (and the inevitable hay fever) is drifting through the studio as I sit down to record this episode. After a whirlwind few months — including seven incredible weeks photographing on Crystal Cruises — it feels good to be back behind the mic, even if I'm a little sniffly. In this episode, I'm reflecting on the magic of authentic portrait photography, the rapid rise of AI in our world (and our inboxes!), and why the human touch still matters more than ever. Plus, there's news about upcoming workshops, a few tech tips for cleaner files and faster edits, and a good-natured rant about AI-generated podcast pitches. As always, it's a mix of stories, laughter, tech, and a reminder to stay creative — and stay human. Cheers P.

En diciembre entrevistamos aquí En Perspectiva a Aidemar González, militante comunista de Durazno que había conquistado una banca como diputado, uno de los pocos departamentos en donde no resultó ganador el MPP. Sin embargo, poco después González renunció a su banca. ¿El motivo? Dedicarse a cuidar a su hija, que padece una enfermedad rara. El caso de González es particular por ese trasfondo político, pero es uno más en Fupier: la Fundación Uruguaya para la Investigación de Enfermedades Raras. Su hija padece el síndrome de Desanto Shinawi, del que se conocen menos de 200 casos en todo el planeta. Hay otras, muchas, alrededor de 7.000 enfermedades raras, que afectan cada una a unos pocos: el término describe las patologías con una prevalencia por debajo de cinco casos cada 10 mil habitantes. Sumados, los pacientes de todas esas enfermedades totalizan entre el 3,5 y el 5,9% de la población del mundo. En Uruguay se estima que unas 200 mil personas sufren una de estas afecciones. Pero su baja incidencia, y la dispersión geográfica de quienes las padecen, hacen que sobre ellas se conozca poco. Hoy por la tarde, Fupier mantendrá una reunión con la ministra de Salud Pública, Cristina Lustemberg, para pedir medidas urgentes y mejorar el diagnóstico, tratamiento y seguimiento de las enfermedades raras en Uruguay. ¿Qué van a plantear? Y, ¿cómo es afrontar la vida y el cuidado de un ser querido con una enfermedad rara? Conversamos En Perspectiva con Aidemar González, hoy en su rol de vocero de Fupier; y también a Kateryn Bentancor, bióloga, que también integra esa fundación.

“Asunto cerrado”: así definió el presidente Yamandú Orsi el episodio que protagonizó la semana pasada Cecilia Cairo, que el viernes le presentó su renuncia al cargo de ministra de Vivienda. Este sábado, cuando se hizo presente en Soriano para participar en la conmemoración de los 200 años de la Cruzada Libertadora, Orsi dijo en rueda de prensa que “aprecia mucho” a Cairo, reconoció que la denuncia que ella recibió “no es grata” pero agregó que “la política es así”. Consultado sobre si hubo una negociación con Cairo, quien en primera instancia dijo que no pensaba dimitir, Orsi respondió que “fue fluyendo como la realidad política iba marcando”. Ocurren hechos, ocurren circunstancias que después la política va agregándole y va perfilando las situaciones. Después hay que estar resolviendo sobre la marcha cuál es la mejor salida, cuál es la mejor forma de avanzar. Pero en pocos días se resolvió. Orsi no quiso profundizar en el disparador de la renuncia de Cairo, es decir la situación irregular de su casa. Recordemos: el martes pasado el programa La Pecera de Azul FM reveló que la entonces jerarca pagaba Contribución Inmobiliaria como si el suyo fuera un terreno baldío a pesar de que en él existen cuatro viviendas, que Cairo no había pagado aportes al BPS por la construcción de esas edificaciones y que en 20 años apenas había pagado $ 89 del Impuesto a Primaria. Orsi se limitó a comentar: “Es una irregularidad que trajo las consecuencias que trajo” y no hay “nada más para agregar”. El Movimiento de Participación Popular (MPP), al que pertenecen tanto Cairo como Orsi, analiza hoy a esta hora el episodio, mientras que el Secretariado Ejecutivo del Frente Amplio (FA) hará lo propio al mediodía. En la oposición varias voces se alzaron durante el fin de semana para celebrar la resolución del tema. “Costó pero lo logramos”, dijo, por ejemplo, la senadora blanca Graciela Bianchi. Los dardos de los parlamentarios de la Coalición Republicana estuvieron más dirigidos a la propia Cairo, el MPP y el presidente del FA, Fernando Pereira, que al primer mandatario. El más duro con Pereira fue el senador nacionalista Sebastián da Silva, quien dijo de él: “Hace cinco años organizaba caceroleos por la pandemia. Hoy justificaba la evasión de impuestos para mantener ministros”. Desde el Partido Colorado, en tanto, el diputado Felipe Schipani escribió: “Con esta decisión Yamandú Orsi se recibió de presidente”. Desde el retorno a la democracia, en 1985, la de Cairo es la renuncia de un ministro ocurrida más cerca del comienzo de un gobierno. El récord anterior era el de Ernesto Talvi, que dejó su cargo como canciller en julio de 2020, poco más de cuatro meses luego de instalada la administración de Luis Lacalle Pou.

La situación irregular de la casa de Cecilia Cairo, ministra de Vivienda y Ordenamiento Territorial, que tomó estado público el martes, continuó provocando repercusiones este miércoles a nivel político. Temprano en la mañana, Cairo concedió una entrevista en el programa Así nos va de radio Carve, donde reafirmó que no tiene previsto renunciar al cargo. Allí dijo que no sabía que no había pagado el impuesto a Primaria en las últimas dos décadas, aclaró que sí paga Contribución Inmobiliaria pero como si el suyo fuera un terreno baldío, y admitió que no realizó los aportes al BPS cuando construyó su hogar ni cuando se edificaron otras casas o ampliaciones para familiares suyos en el mismo inmueble. -Yo no es que nunca hubiéramos demostrado voluntad de pago, no, porque pagaba lo que me llegaba de la intendencia. Lo que no hice fue regularizar y al regularizar esas construcciones seguramente tendrían un aporte superior, no le pongo ninguna duda. Pero al regularizar, cuando vos lo pensás, y que yo entiendo que la gente lo piense, era que tenía que tener un arquitecto, un agrimensor que midiera, etc, etc, y la verdad no tenía las posibilidades económicas en ese momento de hacerlo. -Pero ¿por qué no habló con el MPP? -No lo hice. -¿Por qué no dijo,” miren, yo esto me tengo que poner al día porque esto me corresponde, tengo la responsabilidad ciudadana de hacerlo”? -Buena pregunta, no lo hice. -¿Por qué? -No lo sé, porque tengo un sueldo y es el sueldo que cobro como cualquier otro trabajador. Desde el MPP siguieron escuchándose voces de dirigentes que destacan la trayectoria de militancia solcial de Cairo y elogian la forma en que reaccionó a la revelación periodistica que surgió en el programa de Ignacio Alvarez, en particular su transparencia, el reconocimiento del error, el pedido de disculpas y su decisión de llevar delante de inmediato los trámites pendientes de su casa y pagar los tributos que adeuda con los recargos correspondientes. Más allá de ese sector, en el Frente Amplio (FA), en tanto, el vocero que asumió protagonismo fue el presidente de la fuerza política, Fernando Pereira, que, aclarando que hablaba a título personal, descartó los pedidos de renuncia que Cairo recibe desde la oposicion. Ayer, en una entrevista aquí En Perspectiva, Pereira enfatizó que Cairo no cometió un delito ni evadió impuestos, sino que tiene una deuda. Por eso, afirmó, este episodio "no es motivo" para que renuncie a su cargo. "Por deudas de contribución, por deudas de tributos, por deudas de tarjetas hay un millón de uruguayos es decir que yo no creo que sea la idea de nadie que un millón de uruguayos estén inhabilitados para hacer política partidaria o para participar de cargos de gobierno o legislativo, en todo caso lo que tienen que hacer esas personas es pagar sus deudas, como paga cualquiera que tiene deudas". Más tarde, en rueda de prensa, Pereira admitió de todos modos que en su caso personal hubiera puesto su cargo a disposición del presidente. Sin embargo, trascendió que detrás de escena el caso de Cecilia Cairo está generando cada vez más molestia dentro del FA, mientras se acerca la sesión de la Mesa Política del próximo lunes, donde se discutirá formalmente este asunto. Por ejemplo, el senador socialista Gustavo González dijo a El País que la situación “es muy complicada”. En tanto, el candidato a intendente de Montevideo, Salvador Schelotto, de la Vertiente Artiguista, afirmó que “no se puede banalizar” el “error” de Cairo. Además, las Bases del FA adelantaron una reunión originalmente prevista para la semana próxima, a efectos de analizar de urgencia los hechos. La Tertulia de los Jueves con Gabriel Mazzarovich, Martín Moraes y Ana Laura Pérez.

Varios dirigentes y sectores de la oposición reclamaron ayer la renuncia de la ministra de Vivienda, Cecilia Cairo, luego de que se confirmara que la jerarca no tiene regularizada su casa y que por esa razón no pagó los impuestos correspondientes en las dos últimas décadas. La novedad fue revelada en el programa La Pecera, que conduce Ignacio Álvarez en Azul FM. La propia ministra reconoció la situación en diálogo con el conductor del espacio y profundizó en sus explicaciones más tarde en una rueda de prensa que ella convocó justamente en su propiedad, ubicada en Pajas Blancas. Mientras mostraba el lugar a los periodistas, Cairo dijo que ella se instaló en ese terreno, que pertenecía a su padre, en el año 2002, luego de que le remataran su casa anterior y cuando tenía un hijo de dos años. Según su relato, en el predio, donde originalmente había un galpón, ella misma construyó su vivienda. Hoy en el inmueble hay cuatro casas y un contenedor, donde viven también sus hijos con sus familias y la expareja del padre de sus hijos, a quien considera una hermana. Pese a la acumulación de esas construcciones, Cairo paga la Contribución Inmobiliaria correspondiente a un terreno baldío. Además, desde el 2004 solamente pagó dos cuotas del Impuesto de Primaria, por un total de $ 89. Y no abonó los tributos y cargas sociales correspondientes a la obra y las mejoras. Durante la rueda de prensa, la ministra Cairo alegó que no cometió ningún delito y adelantó que regularizará la situación. De todos modos, pidió disculpas y explicó que no realizó los trámites debidos porque en su vida había priorizado el cuidado de sus hijos y la militancia social. "Fui construyendo cada uno de los espacios como podía. Es verdad que tuve muchísimas prioridades, entre ellas ayudar a mis hijos a que pudieran tener una salida. Y capaz que toda esa ayuda que di durante tanto tiempo hizo que hoy yo sea ministra de Vivienda, porque sé lo que le pasa a la gente para poder construirse su lugar. Yo quiero agradecerle a Nacho Álvarez, de verdad lo digo, porque en definitiva cuando me llamó me parecía de lo más natural lo que me había pasado. Y no dimensioné que no había pagado un impuesto, que no había regularizado las construcciones". Cairo agregó que no sabe cuánto suman sus adeudos con la intendencia, la DGI y el BPS aunque supone que se trata de una cifra alta, que enfrentará, si es necesario, pidiéndo un crédito. De todos modos informó que para iniciar la regularización “los compañeros” le consiguieron ayer mismo a varios arquitectos que colaborarán con ella en la realización de los planos. Por su lado, su sector, el MPP, publicó en redes sociales un comunicado en el que califica a Cairo de “militante incansable” y destaca que su objetivo como ministra es “que todos nuestros compatriotas” puedan “tener una casa digna”. El texto resalta que la jerarca pidió disculpas y se comprometió a subsanar “un asunto que es personal”. Y luego indica: “Para nosotros la ética debe ser un pilar fundamental de nuestro accionar; reconocer un error y corregirlo habla de ello”. Sin embargo, varios referentes de la oposición, entre ellos la senadora Graciela Bianchi del Partido Nacional, pidieron su renuncia. Lo mismo hizo la bancada parlamentaria del sector Unir para Crecer del Partido Colorado. “Si la autoridad máxima” en materia de vivienda “decide ignorar las leyes, pierde legitimidad para exigir su cumplimiento al resto de la ciudadanía”, dice un comunicado difundido por ese sector. Por eso solicita la dimisión de Cairo y adelanta que en caso de que ello no ocurra promoverá su interpelación.

Los partidos políticos reciben por año unos US$ 2 millones entre todos, por los aportes que le cobran a quienes ocupan cargos públicos electivos y de particular confianza. Esas contribuciones varían según cuál es la retribución de cada uno de ellos. Esa cifra aparece en un artículo que publicó el diario El País este domingo, y que tomó como base las rendiciones de cuentas correspondientes al año 2023 que los partidos políticos presentaron a la Corte Electoral. El matutino se ocupó del tema a partir de declaraciones de la ministra de Vivienda, Cecilia Cairo, que el domingo 6, hablando en un acto del MPP en el Parque Rodó, recordó que en su sector los ingresos de los jerarcas “están topeados”: “Ganamos lo que un capaz de albañil, y estoy orgullosa de ello”, agregó. De esa manera respondía a “los que dicen” que ellos están en la política “por plata”. El Frente Amplio (FA) en tiene un esquema de aportes por franjas de salarios, similar al IRPF, que promedia el 13% del sueldo. Y luego cada sector tiene su sistema de contribuciones adicional. Algunos grupos, incluso, retienen la totalidad de los ingresos líquidos se sus funcionarios y luego le giran a cada uno el salario más reducido acordado previamente. De ahí lo de “topeados” de la ministra Cairo. ¿Qué pasa en la actual oposición? En los partidos Nacional y Colorado, sus cartas orgánicas exigen aportes para los cargos políticos: del 5% en el caso de los blancos, y de entre 5 y 10% los colorados. Entre los nacionalistas también hay esquemas de aporte a los sectores; según explica la nota de El País, ninguno supera el 10%. El único distinto es el Partido Independiente, que tiene un esquema de aportes voluntario y flexible según el salario de quien ostente el cargo. La nueva ley de Financiamiento de los partidos políticos aprobada en 2024 mantuvo la habilitación para que la autoridades partidaria establecieran una contribución mensual de las personas que en su representación ocuparan cargos electivos, políticoa o de particular confianza. Dicho aporte, dice la ley, no podrá superar en ningún caso el 15% de la retribución líquida que perciba el jerarca.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor about child amputees in Gaza, now estimated to number 3,000-4,000, the highest number of child amputees per inhabitant in the world. They discuss how Israel's denial of medical supplies leads to amputation and what it's like to be a doctor in Gaza, and they analyze the effect these devastating injuries will have on Palestinian society. Ahmed recently published a detailed piece on this topic in the Guardian (3/27/25): There are more child amputees in Gaza than anywhere else in the world. What can the future hold for them?

¿Cuáles fueron las listas al Senado que más invirtieron en la campaña electoral del año 2024? Según un informe de La Diaria, realizado a partir de las rendiciones de cuentas presentadas por los partidos políticos y divulgados por la Corte Electoral, el MPP, que obtuvo ocho senadores, fue la agrupación política que más dinero puso en juego, 88 millones de pesos. El MPP declaró que 88% de su presupuesto provino de la contribución que realiza el Estado por cada voto válido; en el restante 12%, correspondiente al ámbito privado. El segundo lugar fue para la lista del Partido Colorado encabezada por el senador Andrés Ojeda, que obtuvo tres senadores y declaró egresos por 39 millones de pesos. En cuanto a los ingresos, Ojeda informó que 70% provino de los aportes del Estado y 30% del ámbito privado. En el tercer puesto, aparece el sector Seregnistas, liderado por Mario Bergara, hoy candidato a la Intendencia de Montevideo, que obtuvo una sola banca en la cámara alta y gastó 36 millones de pesos. Según la planilla de ingresos, 47% correspondieron a los aportes estatales y 53% al ámbito privado. En un escalón más abajo, con un total de egresos de 31 millones de pesos, se sitúa la nómina al Senado que fue encabezada por el líder de Vamos Uruguay del PC, Pedro Bordaberry y que cosechó dos bancas. En este caso, se declaró que el 94% del presupuesto provino de la contribución del Estado, mientras que el restante 6% del financiamiento fueron aportes privados. La red de cobranza Abitab, por ejemplo, aportó un millón de pesos. El propio Bordaberry desembolsó 200.000 pesos y un total de 321.000 pesos ingresó por concepto de “donaciones anónimas”. En la comparación entre los egresos declarados y la cantidad de votos que obtuvo cada lista al Senado, el informe de La Diaria marca que Seregnistas gastó aproximadamente 400 pesos por cada voto, mientras que, en el otro extremo, la lista de Carolina Cosse sólo gastó alrededor de 28 pesos por cada voto, es decir, 14 veces menos. A mitad de camino en este promedio se ubican Vamos Uruguay y el MPP con 208 y 200 pesos por cada voto obtenido, respectivamente. El financiamiento de los partidos políticos en Uruguay ha sido un tema recurrente en la política nacional. Se han votado leyes con el objetivo de transparentar y conocer de mejor forma cómo los partidos políticos captan sus recursos y cómo los gastan. Sin embargo, más allá de las declaraciones formales que presentan las colectividades políticas, la capacidad de controlar de la Corte Electoral es muy limitada por falta de recursos humanos.

They discuss the role of Israel's genocide in Gaza – and the U.S.'s facilitation of it through weapons and political support – in the 2024 elections, drawing from newly available data, including the IMEU Policy Project's January 2025 poll, which shows that "Gaza was a top issue for Biden 2020 Voters Who Cast A Ballot For Someone Besides Harris."  They look at voter behavior among Arab Americans and in many other communities, at relationships between the Democratic Party and grassroots activists, and at the ways in which Arab Americans have been blamed for the Democratic loss.
