Iván Poduje Capdeville, under fire for halting construction on homes for fire-affected families, faces criminal charges, raising serious questions about his ministerial role and calls for his resignation.

Scientific evidence underscores that desalination has impacts that cannot be overlooked. The intake of seawater can influence microscopic organisms, eggs, and larvae that make up the foundation of marine food chains. Additionally, the discharge of brine—the hyper-saline waste produced from the process—can disrupt the physical and chemical conditions of sensitive coastal ecosystems, particularly when projects are located in bays with limited water circulation or high biodiversity zones.

For those unfamiliar with the subject, a duel was a ritual meant to remedy an “offense to honor.” When someone felt insulted, they would issue a challenge to their opponent. Each party would appoint sponsors responsible for negotiating an apology and, should that fail, setting the terms of the fight: weapons, location, distance, and rules. Sound medieval? It makes sense, as the tradition originates from that period.

The mechanics are well-known. First, the fiscal deficit is inflated, or additional debt is sought. Then, it is announced that the State has reached its limit—the notorious 45% of GDP—and that 'there's no money.' Ultimately, surgical cuts are implemented that spare large domestic and foreign companies while targeting health, education, pensions, and subsidies for the populace. Thus, indebtedness becomes a political weapon.

Khan al-Ahmar is more than just a settlement in the desert: it serves as a geographical barrier that sustains the possibility of a continuous and viable Palestinian state. Its eradication is not merely an administrative act; it represents the dismantling of a social and humanitarian network, acting as a central piece in a strategic annexation scheme.

In a scathing analysis, Daniel Jadue critiques President José Antonio Kast’s administration, revealing a stark divide between promises made during the campaign and actions taken in office, highlighting significant cuts to social programs disguised under fiscal responsibility.

These are simple strokes, reminiscent of what we all remember from our own childhood, that small phase of life, bursting with imagination and fantasies, when we wanted to be the heroes of good, swordsmen of justice, archers of chance, little princes of fairness.

Decades of research continue to demonstrate that women are concentrated in precarious jobs that are socially and economically undervalued, resulting in lower wages. Furthermore, during crises, women are often the first to face unemployment. These inequalities become even more pronounced when women become mothers.

This Public Account should not be interpreted as a historic turning point but rather as an ideological clarification. The reduction of corporate taxes, regulatory easing, expedited investment permits, and fiscal discipline do not represent innovations but the revival of a classic repertoire of Chilean neoliberalism.

Central to the critique is the concentration of power within the private sector and capitalist dynamics. The document warns that in the digital age, classic principles of social doctrine—common good, equality, dignity, solidarity—are essential to prevent new monopolies of data and algorithms that marginalize the most vulnerable.
