Peru: looks like at last the Congress is going to impeach Dina Boluarte, the most incompetent president the country has had in a very long time. The question is whether anyone better will replace her.

Por más que resulte impopular decirlo, el Congreso tiene que permitir derecho de defensa y garantías mínimas antes de proceder a vacar a la presidenta.

No Nobel Prize in any field has ever been given to a more deserving candidate than this one. María Corina Machado is the most impressive leader I have ever met. She has had to face injustice and despotism, all while inspiring and leading a nation. Bravissima!

I’ve never met anyone more brave than Maria Corina Machado. Even with a Nobel prize I’m not sure the world will understand the sacrifices she has made, all in the hope for a free Venezuela

The Nobel Peace Prize for María Corina Machado is well deserved of course, but she and the people of Venezuela deserve so much more. Freedom, support, and a future without the Maduro dictatorship. ¡Felicidades y adelante!

I congratulate María Corina Machado on being awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. Today’s prize is a tribute to all those working to preserve democracy, freedom and political rights around the world, and a stirring reminder of the resilience and power of the democratic spirit.

This is an important recognition to María Corina Machado, but also to the people of Venezuela who, for years, have endured repression and persecution for daring to think differently and challenging authorities over human rights violations.

La sucesión constitucional en la presidencia requiere del nombramiento inmediato de un gabinete ministerial. José Jerí no puede actuar como presidente si no tiene todavía ministros que refrenden sus actos.

Hasta el día de hoy José Jerí no nombra un gabinete o un premier, pese a que todos sus actos como presidente son nulos si carecen de refrendo ministerial Entérate de esto y más con el podcast de Augusto Townsend K. en: -Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/7Mr5A2… -YouTube: youtu.be/DbcYpYu0Y2Q

La invitación por X del presidente interino José Jeri, a los alcaldes de Lima quizá sea moderna, pero no es seria. Menos serio aún es que un gobierno sin ministro del interior nos cite para consensuar acciones contra la delincuencia.
