En algunos grifos, tarifa increment de S/. 1.55 a S/. 2.45, generando preocupacin sobre todo en taxistas.








Transportistas piden a las autoridades intervenir para evitar que se continúe elevando el precio del gas licuado de petróleo (GLP) que en algunos grifos llega a costar 2.45 el litro.

Taxista que tienen que formar largas colas en los grifos señalaron que algunos se están aprovechando del desabastecimiento para elevar considerablemente los precios y en los centros donde se vende más barato las colas son inmensas.

Esta situación obligará a que el precio de los pasajes se incremente lo cual generará gran malestar en los ciudadanos.

Mientras tanto César Matos Peralta jefe regional de Osinerming manifestó que lamentablemente no es posible controlar el alza de precios del GLP e hizo un llamado a los propietarios de los grifos para no aprovechar esta coyuntura y evitar incrementar los costos.

Boeing said on Sunday that it was aware of problems with a key safety indicator in 2017, but it didn’t inform airlines or the FAA until after the Lion Air crash a year later. Here, 737 Max jets built for American Airlines (left) and Air Canada are parked at the airport adjacent to a Boeing production facility in Renton, Wash., in April.

Boeing knew that there was a problem with one of the safety features on its 737 Max planes back in 2017 – well before the Lion Air crash in October 2018 and the Ethiopian Airlines crash in March. But it did not disclose the issue to airlines or safety regulators until after the Lion Air plane crashed off the Indonesian coast, killing all 189 aboard.

In a statement Sunday, Boeing said its engineers discovered a problem with a key safety indicator within months of Boeing delivering the first 737 Max planes to airlines. The indicator, called an angle of attack disagree alert, is designed to warn pilots if the plane’s sensors are transmitting contradictory data about the direction of the plane’s nose.

Boeing intended for the indicator to be standard on the 737 Max, in keeping with the features available on previous generations of 737s. But its engineers discovered that the sensor worked only with a separate, optional safety feature. Boeing said the faulty software was delivered by a vendor, which it didn’t name.

When it learned of the issue in 2017, Boeing says it conducted a safety review and concluded that the nonworking alert did not affect airplane safety or operation. The review also concluded that the indicator could be decoupled from the optional indicator at the time of a future software update.

Boeing says its senior leadership wasn’t aware of the problem until after the Lion Air crash. Boeing says it discussed the indicator problem at that point with the Federal Aviation Administration — a year after the company knew about the problem. The company then convened another safety review, which concluded once again that the absence of the alert was not a safety issue. It shared the analysis with the FAA.

The FAA said in a statement that its review board “determined the issue to be ‘low risk’ and would be required to be a part of Boeing’s overall enhancement announced after the Lion Air [crash]. However, Boeing’s timely or earlier communication with the operators would have helped to reduce or eliminate possible confusion.”

A spokesperson for Southwest Airlines, the largest operator of the 737 Max, told The Associated Press that Boeing had informed it of the indicator issue in November, following the Lion Air crash. Southwest then added the optional feature so the angle-of-attack disagree indicator would work.

But only 20% of customers had purchased the optional feature, and neither Lion Air nor Ethiopian Airlines had functioning angle of attack disagree indicators on their 737 Max fleets, The New York Times reports.

If angle of attack sensors indicate the nose of the plane is too high, an automated flight control system on the 737 Max automatically forces the nose of the plane down, as NPR’s David Schaper reported in March:

“Investigators of the Lion Air plane crash … say a faulty sensor fed the system erroneous data, and the system forced the nose of the plane down repeatedly. The pilots may not have known the system even existed and engaged in a futile struggle to regain control of the aircraft.”

Boeing maintains the 737 Max was safe to fly even without the alert, which it says provides only “supplemental information.” But the new disclosure raises questions about how forthright the company has been about issues with the planes.

“We thought [the disagree light] worked,” Jon Weaks, the president of the Southwest Pilots’ Association, told the Times. “If they knew it in 2017, why did we get to nearly the end of 2018 until the manual was changed?”

The 737 Max, the fastest-selling plane in Boeing’s history, has been grounded around the world for almost eight weeks. The company is working on a software fix it hopes will get the planes flying again this summer, as it faces congressional scrutiny and lawsuits by family members of those who died in the crashes.

McKinney is pictured above.

Lawyers for the second suspect in the Colorado school shooting, Maya McKinney, who is listed in court records as a female, asked the court to use the pronoun “he.”

The 16-year-old McKinney is transgender and was transitioning from female to male at the time of Tuesday’s shooting at the STEM School Highlands Ranch in Highlands Ranch, Colo., that left one student dead and eight others wounded. McKinney reportedly identifies as a male and goes by the name Alec.

He appeared in court Wednesday, shackled at the wrists and ankles. Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler said that he still has not decided whether to charge McKinney as an adult. In Colorado, 16 is the youngest age that prosecutors can file adult charges.

McKinney is being held for murder and attempted murder, along with 18-year-old Devon Erickson. The two were arrested after students fought back on attempts to shoot up the school. The student who died, Kendrick Castillo, is being hailed as a hero after he was killed attempting to lunge at the gunman.

McKinney is due back in court on Friday.

Texas mayor Don McLaughlin Jr. said the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border is going to get bad fast and warned the 2019 immigration surge will seem like a “cakewalk” compared to what will happen under President Biden.

McLaughlin Jr. said Wednesday during an appearance on “America Reports” that his city of Uvalde is experiencing a dramatic surge in immigrant-related apprehensions and crimes, including an increase in high-speed car chases between police and smugglers.

“We’re having 10 to 12 chases, high-speed chases, through our communities a week now,” McLaughlin said. “We’ve never seen this before.”

BIDEN ADVISER ADMITS IMMIGRATION POLICY ‘MAY HAVE DRIVEN’ MIGRANT SURGE, ENCOURAGED ‘SMUGGLERS’

McLaughlin added the chases ranged anywhere from 95 to 105 miles an hour and also noted an increase in break-ins throughout the region by illegal immigrants. He said fault lies with the federal government for failing to anticipate and handle the rise in migrant crossings.

McLaughlin added the Biden administration needs to shut down the border immediately and have people enter the country through legal processes, or local governments in Texas will continue to deal with the fallout, including an influx of COVID-positive migrants.

Despite this, the Biden administration continues to reject calling the situation a “crisis.”

Asked about the issue during her press conference Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki pushed back on adding labels to the “challenging” situation.

Psaki has maintained the administration sought to abide by COVID-19 protocols, but it’s unclear how much authorities were screening migrants for the virus.

According to Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, last week, thousands of migrants haven’t been tested. 

“Over 10,000 people have come in through the lower Rio Grande Valley,” Cuellar said to KTXS 12. “Those folks are not being tested.”

Border agents disagreed, telling the outlet that “CBP personnel conduct initial inspections for symptoms or risk factors associated with COVID-19 and consult with onsite medical personnel, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or local health systems as appropriate.”

– Federal and local authorities have arrested a suspect in connection with an alleged domestic terror plot aimed at “multiple targets” in Southern California, officials announced Monday.

Mark Steven Domingo, 26, of Reseda, a former U.S. Army infantryman who served in Afghanistan, was arrested Friday after he received what he thought was a bomb, but was actually an inert device supplied to him by an undercover law enforcement officer, federal officials said.

In a criminal complaint filed Saturday by federal prosecutors and unsealed earlier today, Domingo was charged with providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists. Domingo, who has been in federal custody since his arrest, is expected to make his initial appearance Monday afternoon in United States District Court.

According to a 30-page affidavit in support of the complaint, since early March, Domingo “planned and took steps to manufacture and use a weapon of mass destruction in order to commit mass murder.”

“This investigation successfully disrupted a very real threat posed by a trained combat soldier who repeatedly stated he wanted to cause the maximum number of casualties,” said United States Attorney Nick Hanna. “Protecting Americans from terror attacks is the number one priority of the Justice Department, and anyone who plots to use a weapon of mass destruction will be held to account.”

“I’m extremely glad to be announcing that we interdicted a potential terrorist attack, rather than outlining the FBI’s response to yet another tragedy,” said Paul Delacourt, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. “At no time was the public in danger and there is currently no known threat to public safety.  I’m very proud of the agents and officers assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force who diligently marshaled the resources of our law enforcement partners in a short period of time and in doing so, ensured the safety of Southern California residents.”

“I can tell you, unequivocally, that this partnership, coupled with our ability to be nimble, ultimately resulted in dozens of innocent lives being saved in Southern California,” said Los Angeles Police Chief Michel R. Moore.

In online posts and in conversations with an FBI source, Domingo expressed support for violent jihad, a desire to seek retribution for attacks against Muslims, and a willingness to become a martyr, according to the affidavit. After considering various attacks – including targeting Jews, churches, and police officers – Domingo decided to detonate an IED at a rally scheduled to take place in Long Beach this past weekend.  As part of the plot, Domingo asked his confederate – who actually was cooperating with the FBI as part of the investigation – to find a bomb-maker, and Domingo last week purchased several hundred nails to be used as shrapnel inside the IED.

“Domingo said he specifically bought three-inch nails because they would be long enough to penetrate the human body and puncture internal organs,” the affidavit states.

After Domingo provided the nails to the undercover operative for use in the construction of the bomb, Domingo sent a message on Thursday indicating that the operation was to proceed, according to the affidavit. On Friday evening, the undercover operative delivered multiple inert devices, which Domingo believed were weapons of mass destruction. After inspecting the devices and traveling to a park in Long Beach to surveil the location of the planned attack, Domingo was taken into custody.

According to the criminal complaint, Domingo posted an online video professing his Muslim faith on March 2, and the next day made another posting in which he said “America needs another vegas event” (referring to the October 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada) that would give “them a taste of the terror they gladly spread all over the world.” Following an attack on a mosque in New Zealand on March 13, Domingo posted, “there must be retribution.”

In response to the postings, an FBI “confidential human source” (CHS) began an online conversation that resulted in a series of in-person meetings with Domingo. During the first meeting, on March 18, “Domingo discussed with the CHS different targets for an attack, including Jews, police officers, churches, and a military facility,” according to the affidavit.

During subsequent meetings outlined in the affidavit, Domingo continued to express his desire to commit a terrorist act, at points contemplating a drive-by shooting with a modified AK-47-style rifle he owned, and at other points considering the use of an IED. During an April 3 meeting, Domingo allegedly expressed support for ISIS and said “if ISIS ‘came here,’ he would swear allegiance to ISIS,” according to the complaint.

The plan to target the rally came into shape during an April 19 meeting, when Domingo arrived to a meeting with the CHS armed with an AK-47-style rifle “to show you that I’m serious,” according to the complaint. During that meeting, Domingo referenced the Boston Marathon bombing and asked the CHS to find a person to construct an IED that he said could cause 50 casualties.

During several of the meetings, Domingo urged the CHS to maintain secrecy, stating what they were discussing were “federal charges” and “We broke federal law,” according to the complaint.

“Domingo, a former U.S. Army Infantryman, wanted to use improvised explosive devices against innocent civilians and he selected components that would make the bombs even more deadly to the victims he targeted,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers. “His arrest today mitigates the threat he posed to others in the Los Angeles community. I want to thank the agents, analysts, and prosecutors who are responsible for this investigation and arrest.”

“The individual charged in this case wanted to carry out a mass casualty attack with explosive devices, and he moved very quickly from talking about violence to mobilizing to commit such an attack,” said Assistant Director Michael McGarrity of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Section. “This case should remind the public of the need to be vigilant and notify law enforcement if you see suspicious behavior.”

“We strongly value the interagency cooperation and information sharing that occurs on a daily basis regarding potential threats to our region,” stated Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna. “I want to thank all of our partner agencies for their dedicated efforts on this extensive investigation and for ensuring that the City of Long Beach was not impacted by a significant act of senseless violence.”

If convicted of the charge of providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists, Domingo would face a statutory maximum sentence of 15 years in federal prison.

But many companies have restarted campaign donations, with some saying they are doing so in the spirit of nonpartisanship.

“Our employee PAC program continues to observe longstanding principles of nonpartisan political engagement in support of our business interests,” said Trent Perrotto, a spokesman for the defense contractor Lockheed Martin, which contributed $145,000 to 72 lawmakers who voted against certifying the election.

Sharon J. Castillo, a Pfizer spokeswoman, said in a statement that “following the events of Jan. 6, 2021, the company adhered to its commitment to pause political giving to the 147 members of Congress who voted against certifying the election for six months.” She added that “monitoring elected officials’ conduct and statements is a part of our governance process, and we will continue to do so as we consider future Pfizer PAC disbursements.”

CREW noted that some lawmakers who had downplayed the riot or sought to sow doubts about what happened on Jan. 6 had continued to be magnets for corporate money. Representative Madison Cawthorn, a North Carolina Republican who has blamed Democrats for instigating the violence and has called those taken into custody in connection with the riot “political hostages,” received $2,000 in donations from the National Association of Insurance & Financial Advisors and the Farmers’ Rice Cooperative Fund.

Representative Louie Gohmert, a Texas Republican who has said there is no evidence that an “armed insurrection” took place, received $1,000 from the National Association of Insurance & Financial Advisors.

In the immediate aftermath of the riot, associating with lawmakers who appeared to abet it was viewed by many companies as a political liability. But in many cases, those concerns did not last.

Charles Spies, a Republican campaign finance lawyer who helped run Mitt Romney’s presidential super PAC, said that while the initial shock of the attack made corporate donors risk-averse, their thinking shifted with the politicization of the Jan. 6 congressional inquiry. Republicans have sought to downplay the attack and have accused Democrats of using the investigation to hurt the G.O.P.’s image.

Senate Minority Leader Charles SchumerCharles (Chuck) Ellis SchumerSchumer renews call for witnesses to testify in impeachment trial in wake of ‘game changer’ report Giuliani associate to turn over iPhone data, documents to House committee Hanukkah attack highlights disturbing rise of anti-Semitic violence MORE (D-N.Y.) on Monday renewed his call for key Trump administration figures to testify during the Senate impeachment trial in the wake of a New York Times report detailing the White House’s efforts to withhold nearly $400 million in military aid to Ukraine.

“Simply put, in our fight to have key documents and witnesses in a Senate impeachment trial, these new revelations are a game changer,” Schumer said at a press conference just a day after the Times published an explosive story offering new details about some White House officials’ actions in blocking Ukrainian military aid. 

The report showed the role officials such as acting White House chief of staff Mick MulvaneyJohn (Mick) Michael MulvaneySchumer renews call for witnesses to testify in impeachment trial in wake of ‘game changer’ report Susan Collins says she’s ‘open’ to calling witnesses in Senate impeachment trial ‘Will a majority of senators pursue the truth over all else?’ Doug Jones asks in op-ed MORE played after Trump directed his administration to withhold the aid. Among other things, it showed that Mulvaney and Robert Blair, assistant to the president and senior adviser to Mulvaney, were aware that the move would prompt backlash from Congress. 

The Times also noted that Trump declined to release the aid despite appeals from former national security adviser John BoltonJohn BoltonSchumer renews call for witnesses to testify in impeachment trial in wake of ‘game changer’ report Susan Collins says she’s ‘open’ to calling witnesses in Senate impeachment trial ‘Will a majority of senators pursue the truth over all else?’ Doug Jones asks in op-ed MORE, Secretary of State Mike PompeoMichael (Mike) Richard PompeoSchumer renews call for witnesses to testify in impeachment trial in wake of ‘game changer’ report US airstrikes take tensions with Iran to new level Pompeo: Running for Senate ‘not something I want to do’ MORE and Defense Secretary Mark EsperMark EsperSchumer renews call for witnesses to testify in impeachment trial in wake of ‘game changer’ report US airstrikes take tensions with Iran to new level Iranian-backed militia says US strikes killed 25, vow revenge MORE.

“And when you combine these new revelations with the explosive emails from Michael Duffey released last weekend, it makes the strongest case yet for a Senate trial to include the witnesses and documents we have requested,” he added, referencing newly disclosed emails that showed Duffey, an official at the Office of Management and Budget, told the Pentagon to withhold Ukrainian military aid just hours after Trump’s infamous July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. 

The House earlier this month voted to impeach Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Ahead of the vote, Schumer wrote to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and called for Mulvaney, Bolton, Duffey and Blair to testify as witnesses during a trial.  

But McConnell said that the trial should not include witnesses and has argued that lawmakers have “heard enough” amid the impeachment proceedings. Trump said in mid-December that McConnell could decide on whether there would be witnesses in the upper chamber trial. 

Robert Driscoll, a lawyer for Mulvaney, told the Times that the acting chief of staff would consider a request to testify in consultation with the White House. 

“I hope every Republican senator should read this story and explain why they would oppose our reasonable request for witnesses and documents in the Senate trial,” Schumer said. “This story makes the choice even clearer: Will the Senate hold a fair trial, or will it enable a cover-up?”

El velorio se lleva a cabo en una especie de cobertizo de madera (luego descubriremos que es en realidad la mitad de la casa). Del techo, de lámina hirviente, cuelgan pocillos, una regadora de lata y un pequeño y aporreado mecedor de plástico para niño.

El ataúd está en la mitad. Tiene abierta la parte superior, a la altura del rostro. Nadie se acerca a mirar.

A un lado, postrada en una cama, una anciana se queja de tanto en tanto. Es la abuela de Mario Pérez Beltrán, recolector de limones, de unos 40 años, quien el día antes, a las 11 de la noche, murió de un disparo en la frente.

Estamos en las afueras de Antúnez, una de las poblaciones que controlan las autodefensas de Michoacán.

Una mujer ya entrada en años reza un rosario en voz alta. Los asistentes, en su mayoría también mujeres, le responden con voz cansada.

México: dentro de la Tierra Caliente sacudida por la violencia en Michoacán

En Michoacán, muchos están acostumbrados al luto. Allí se inició en 2006 la guerra con el narco. Ahora, las fuerzas de autodefensa disputan el control de algunos municipios al cartel de los Caballeros Templarios. BBC Mundo estuvo allí.

Los acentos son distintos, pero el dolor y la pobreza son idénticos a las decenas de velorios a los que asistí en Colombia, en especial en la región de Urabá, en el departamento de Antioquia, durante la década de los 90.

Hay más similitudes: como Urabá, Michoacán es una rica región en disputa. Acá, entre autodefensas y el cartel de los Caballeros Templarios. Allá, entre la guerrilla de las FARC y los paramilitares.

En ambos casos, las fuerzas armadas, aunque lo nieguen, parecen favorecer claramente a uno de los bandos.

Y existe una coincidencia más: lo brumosa que se vuelve la frontera entre lo que es verdad, verdad a medias y mentira. La muerte de Mario Pérez Beltrán es un ejemplo.

Su familia y amigos nos dicen que en la noche del lunes fueron convocados por las autodefensas para protestar porque el ejército intentaba desarmarlos. Al verse rodeados por los pobladores -continúa su relato- los soldados dispararon “al viento”. Luego, aseguran, uno de los militares apuntó a Mario y le dio un tiro en la frente.

Me dicen que su familiar era un recolector de limones. Que no pertenecía a las autodefensas, aunque sí las apoyaba.

El ejército, por su parte, aseguró a la Cadena Milenio que todo ocurrió cuando unos 200 militares se desplazaban por la zona, vieron un grupo de autodefensas e intentaron desarmarlos. Se presentó entonces un forcejeo.

En vez de que se ofendan, que nos ayuden. Nosotros somos pura gente de trabajo. Pobre. Muy pobre

Campesino michoacano

“En el momento en que los civiles fueron desarmados por el personal militar adoptaron una actitud agresiva, registrándose un forcejeo y disparos de armas de fuego, sin que se pueda confirmar su origen o si haya resultado algún herido”.

Horas después, el secretario de Gobierno, Miguel Angel Osorio Chong, indicaría que los militares se dirigían hacia la población de Apatzingán cuando “se encontraron con un grupo de personas seguramente no tan bien informadas respecto de las labores que haría el ejército y la policía federal y entonces se dio un forcejeo (…) en este forcejeo con un soldado -lo tenemos identificado- se dio un disparo en el que falleció una persona”.

Según quien dé la información, se habla de cuatro, tres, dos o incluso sólo un muerto.

Lo cierto y contudente es que un cadáver es velado en medio de los ayes de su abuela. Y que en el lugar, además del dolor, reina el temor.

Uno de los dolientes nos dice, preocupado, que con lo que nos han contado no pretenden ofender a nadie.

Me mira y con voz suave repite: “En vez de que se ofendan, que nos ayuden. Nosotros somos pura gente de trabajo. Pobre. Muy pobre”.

Tierra caliente

Los rastros de los enfrentamientos aún son visibles.

Entre Morelia, la capital del estado de Michoacán, y “Tierra Caliente”, la zona donde se concentra el conflicto, hay poco más de dos horas por una carretera amplia y bien pavimentada.

En 20 minutos se pasa por los tres climas: frío, templado y cálido. Pinos, mangos y limones. También se atraviesan varias fronteras, por completo invisibles para el que llega de afuera, pero conocidas e incluso mortíferas para quien habita en la región.

Hay algunas señales: dos camionetas rojas de las autodefensas estacionadas a la entrada del poblado de Nueva Italia, con un hombre embozado dirigiendo el tráfico.

Más adelante, pellejos quemados de llantas en la carretera y luego los esqueletos calcinados de un bus y un camión que cargaba refrescos.

Tres hombres, tiznados hasta la coronilla, terminan de desguazar los vehículos, llevándose rines, ejes y cualquier otra parte que puedan aprovechar.

Ya en el parque de la ciudad de Apatzingán -supuesto núcleo de los Caballeros Templarios, ahora completamente tomado por la policía federal y el ejército- un hombre bajito y de gorra me dice que tiene que ir a una diligencia judicial en Morelia, pero que le da miedo hacerlo.

El sólo hecho de vivir en Apatzingán le hace temer por su vida si cruza por Nueva Italia y Antúnez.

-¿Y a los que vienen de allá hacia acá?, le pregunto.

Mira al suelo, lo piensa unos segundos y me responde:

¡Pos también!

Las nuevas autodefensas

Pos también: un veterano periodista de Michoacán con el que hablo largamente sobre la situación me dice que, al ser el centro urbano más importante de la zona, Apatzingán es un sitio obligado de compra tanto de suministros como de maquinaria en esta región eminentemente agrícola.

Hace poco, me cuenta, siete personas, entre ellas una mujer embarazada -todos residentes de Buenavista, donde existe un foco de las autodefensas- se atrevieron a visitar Apatzingán. Casi de inmediato fueron “levantados” (secuestrados) y todavía no aparecen.

El periodista me explica que en Michoacán la situación empezó a deteriorase realmente en 2007, cuando surgió el cartel de la Familia Michoacana, del cual los Caballeros Templarios son una escisión.

Entonces empezaron las extorsiones, el robo de tierras y las amenazas de manera generalizada.

Si se rastrea en los archivos de prensa, se puede ver que el primer grupo de autodefensas se creó en abril de 2011, cuando en el poblado indígena de Cherán, cansados de la tala ilegal de sus bosques, se conformó una “guardia comunitaria”.

A los indígenas mexicanos, por normatividad constitucional de “usos y costumbres”, se les permite tener una policía propia. Es, por ejemplo, lo que ha ocurrido en el estado de Guerrero.

Sin embargo, las autodefensas involucradas en el actual conflicto en Michoacán son algo muy distinto. Aparecieron hace un año y dijeron ser esencialmente agricultores y comerciantes que estaban hartos de las extorsiones y amenazas de los Caballeros Templarios.

El líder de las autodefensas conocido como “Papá Pitufo” dice que sólo entregarán las armas cuando hayan “limpiado” a Michoacán de los Caballeros Templarios.

Varias personas con las que hablé me dijeron que la fuerza real de las autodefensas puede ser unos 1.500 hombres armados (no 10.000, como algunos han dicho). Muchos portan armas de alto calibre, como fusiles AK-47 (o “cuerno de chivo”, como se les conoce en México) y hasta ametralladoras M60.

Otro periodista me revela que se sospecha que algunas de estas armas largas les fueron proporcionadas por el ejército y la policía federal.

Es algo que, cuando se lo pregunto, lo niega con indignación Estanislao Beltrán Torres, coordinador general de las autodefensas de Michoacán, mejor conocido como “Papá Pitufo”.

Estamos parados en el camellón de la vía central de Antúnez, uno de los principales reductos de los “comunitarios” como les dicen también a las autodefensas.

Cuento casi 30 camionetas, muchas nuevas, con logos de las autodefensas, ocupadas por decenas de hombres armados. El calor es denso y atenaza todo objeto y ser viviente.

Chaparro, barbudo y rechoncho -como me lo describió un colega- “Papá Pitufo” me asegura que todas las armas largas que tienen sus hombres se las quitaron en combate a sus enemigos.

“¿Qué quiere decir eso? Que han caído muchos, muchos Caballeros Templarios”, asevera.

También rechaza que reciban otro tipo de ayuda de las fuerzas armadas, como entrenamiento, información clave o respaldo armado.

“Nos han apoyado en este sentido: les pedimos por ejemplo ‘oiga, por qué no me bloquea ese puente’. Pero nada más”.

En este lugar, uno de los ejidos más grandes de México, Estanislao Beltrán asegura ser un ejidatario más que se cansó de ser extorsionado.

Estrategia

Ninguna de las personas con las que hablé en Michoacán duda de que las autodefensas son apoyadas por las fuerzas armadas. Si no por acción, sí por omisión.

Al escucharlos, es evidente que tanto los dirigentes de las autodefensas -como Papá Pitufo- y los altos funcionarios gubernamentales -como Osorio Chong- son muy cuidadosos con sus palabras para no ofender o descalificar al otro.

Pero hay más. Un simple vistazo al mapa del conflicto muestra la estrategia que se desarrolla: un movimiento de pinza, para rodear y aislar a la ciudad de Apatzingán, supuesto fortín y centro de operaciones de los Caballeros Templarios.

A la entrada de Paracuaro se observan las consecuencias de un combate entre las autodefensas y los Caballeros Templarios.

El proceso de toma de las poblaciones, me explican aquí, es casi siempre el mismo. Llegan en sus camionetas al lugar escogido, donde ya tienen apoyo entre la población, se apoderan de la Dirección de Seguridad y desarman a los policías locales. Si sospechan que tienen vínculos con el cartel de los Templarios -dicen que la misma población se los señala- los entregan a la policía federal.

El procedimiento es anunciado, por lo que se evitan enfrentamientos y se da tiempo a los “jefes de plaza” del cartel a escapar. Sin embargo se han presentado choques, en especial por emboscadas de los sicarios templarios (que se calcula son unos 200).

En total once municipios -con decenas de pequeñas poblaciones incluidas- ya están en manos de las autodefensas, que, sin embargo, no son un bloque granítico: me aseguran que hay fisuras y desconfianza entre algunos grupos y comandantes.

Al control de los municipios hay que añadir algo que los observadores veteranos de la zona no ven como una coincidencia: en noviembre pasado, la marina ocupó el Puerto de Lázaro Cárdenas, sobre el Pacífico, uno de los más importantes del país y punto vital para los Templarios, pues por allí exportaban minerales -controlan varias minas- y entraban precursores químicos para producir anfetaminas.

En estos momentos, el cerco sobre Apatzingán está prácticamente cerrado.

En Apatzingán

Quizás es cierto que no hay nada más calmado que el ojo del huracán.

Esta población de unos 130 mil habitantes, en el corazón de la Tierra Caliente -y con un clima acorde-, parece tranquila. Tal vez demasiado.

Un recorrido por las calles comerciales muestra hilera tras hilera de cortinas metálicas cerradas, con uno que otro resquicio de un negocio abierto. Se ven las paredes calcinadas de los minimercados incendiados el pasado viernes por la noche.

Esta semana han llegado a Apatzingán decenas de convoyes militares y de la policía federal.

Esa misma jornada, hombres al parecer al servicio de los Caballeros Templarios, en una demostración de fuerza atacaron también el palacio municipal, balearon un banco y quemaron el camión y el autobús que encontramos en la carretera.

Desde entonces, a pesar de las decenas y decenas de militares y policías federales que el lunes empezaron a llegar a Apatzingán y le quitaron las armas y relevaron a los policías municipales, los pobladores se sienten más aislados que nunca. Los camiones con suministros no llegan, pues las empresas temen que los incineren.

En el hotel al que vamos ya se terminó la cerveza en botella y la leche para el café es de lata. También han sufrido intermitentes pero constantes cortes del servicio de internet.

Allí, un periodista local me explica la encerrona en que se encuentran: los Caballeros Templarios los llaman a amenazarlos y decirles qué pueden publicar. El gobierno, por su parte, al ver que no sacan el material que les envía sobre capturas y golpes, piensa que están al servicio del cartel. Suelta un risita amarga y sacude la cabeza ante el absurdo de su situación.

En el parque principal de la ciudad, un sacerdote local está dando declaraciones. Un enjambre de periodistas y pobladores lo rodea. Su voz truena por encima de las cabezas.

Acá no impera la ley, las decisiones fundamentales las toman desde el cerro Nazario Moreno, La Tuta y El Quique (las cabezas del cartel)

Sacerdote en Apatzingán

“La presencia de los militares no es suficiente. Ahora falta la efectividad (…). El gobierno le está dando el favor a los Templarios. Los policías estaban coludidos. ¿Qué hacen los comunitarios? Venir a quitar esas lacras (…) (Los Templarios) por ahora se sienten seguros porque tienen una red de protección dentro de la ciudad. No es un 100% de la población que los ayuda, quizá un 10%. Pero han penetrado todos los ámbitos. Acá no impera la ley, las decisiones fundamentales las toman desde el cerro Nazario Moreno, La Tuta y El Quique” (las cabezas del cartel).

Es poco después que se me acerca el hombre bajito de gorra que no puede desplazarse a Morelia. Me dice que la iglesia no debería meterse en esos asuntos y me asegura que las autodefensas son, en realidad, hombres del cartel Nueva Generación de Jalisco, que entran por el municipio de Tepancatepec, en la frontera entre los dos estados.

En nuestra conversación, “Papá Pitufo”, el comandante de las autodefensas, me hizo un anuncio ominoso: por ahora no se han tomado a Apatzingán porque quieren que la gente compare cómo es vivir bajo los Caballeros Templarios y bajo los comunitarios. Pero también la van a ocupar, me asegura.

Carteles. Autodefensas comunitarias e indígenas. Policía federal y municipal. Ejército y marina. Hacía mucho no veía tantas armas y tantos grupos armados en un solo lugar.

En medio de todo esto, como en Urabá, Colombia, los pobladores están arrinconados, asustados y en muchos casos obligados a ser leales a una facción.

Algo es cierto: aunque tengan miedo, casi siempre saben quién aprieta el gatillo. Quién los mata.

COLUMBIA — A soldier at Fort Jackson has been charged after a video showed a White man berating and threatening a Black man who was walking inside a Richland County subdivision.

two-minute clip of the confrontation spread across social media over the past two days, sparking protests in the neighborhood where the men clashed and triggering angry responses from lawmakers as the country grapples with race relations.

“What else has to happen? It’s like a ticking time bomb,” state Sen. Mia McLeod, D-Columbia, said during an impassioned speech from the Senate floor April 14. “We have to decide right here, right now, whether we’re going to move forward in 2021 or we’re going back to 1921.”

Jonathan Pentland, who according to online records is an Army sergeant stationed at Fort Jackson, was charged April 14 with assault and battery in the third degree and released without posting bond, according to Richland County Sheriff’s Department and court records. The charge is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 or 30 days in jail.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott called the confrontation “disturbing” during a news conference about the incident in The Summit, a large and diverse neighborhood in Northeast Richland.

“It was terrible,” Lott told reporters about when he first saw the video. “It was unnecessary.”

The U.S. Department of Justice also is looking into the confrontation, Fort Jackson said.

“The leaders at Fort Jackson in no way condone the behavior depicted in the video posted recently,” Fort Jackson Commander Brig. Gen. Milford Beagle said in a statement. “This action deeply impacts our community — the neighbors in the Summit, the city of Columbia, Richland and Lexington counties, and our Army family.”

The video clip posted April 13 shows a White man shouting at a Black man less than a foot apart on a sidewalk in The Summit.

“Go away, right now,” the White man says. “What is it you’re doing here?”

The Black man says he was walking and suggested the White man call police. A woman not seen on camera says officers have been called.

“You’re aggressing on our neighborhood,” the White man says, shoving the Black man. “You better walk away or I’m going to carry your (expletive) out of here.”

“I didn’t do anything,” the Black man says.

“I’m about to do something to you,” the White man says. “You better start walking.”

Then the White man and the Black man trade accusations over who started the argument. 

“You’re in the wrong neighborhood, (expletive),” the White man shouts. “Get out. Get out.”

The White man said the Black Man was “harassing the neighborhood.” The Black man says he lives in the neighborhood but does not answer questions asking where.

“Check it out, we are a tight-knit community,” the White man says. “We take care of each other.” 

The video does not show how the confrontation started or ended.

Pentland told deputies he acted out in fear for he and his wife, according to an incident report.

Shadae McCallum, who lives in the neighborhood and shot the video of the confrontation, said people in The Summit, a network of neighborhoods off Clemson Road, often walk among the various communities and it’s not out of the ordinary.

While on a walk April 12, McCallum said she saw a Black man being confronted by women who accused him of harassing their daughters.

A White man came out from a house and was initially calm but quickly became irate, said McCallum, who then started her video.

McCallum said she stopped recording when two Black women began walking the Black man away from the area and she thought the situation was over.

But after she stopped recording, the White man followed the Black man down the sidewalk, slapped the phone from his hand and stepped on it, McCallum said.

Pentland told deputies he slapped the phone away from the Black man and pushed him, according to the incident report.  

Authorities waited more than a day to make an arrest because deputies on the scene didn’t have enough information to act on, Lott said. The video helped the case and Lott thanked the person who shot it. 

Pentland, 42, was charged with assault because he “put his hands” on the victim, the sheriff said.

As part of his release agreement, Pentland was ordered not to have direct contact with the victim and stay 1,000 yards away from the victim’s place of work, home, school or worship. 

Lott did not mention any racial component to the confrontation, instead saying, “We’re not going to let people be bullied in our community.”

Lott said he would not name the victim or discuss anything that led up to the confrontation. 

However, on April 13 and 14, the Richland County Sheriff’s Department released a statement and incident reports alleging the Black man in the video could have been the same person involved in two incidents in the neighborhood days prior to the confrontation.

A 22-year-old Black man twice put his hand around a woman’s waist and picked up a baby without consent, according to incident reports supplied from the sheriff’s office. 

Later April 14, Lott made it clear the Black man was the victim in the confrontation and is not facing any charges despite any previous allegations.

Asked if the earlier incidents led to the confrontation, Lott said, “There may be some connection to it, but it doesn’t justify it.” 

About 40 protesters showed up outside the home of the soldier around noon April 14, shouting, “This is our neighborhood, too!” 

“This young brother could have been another hashtag instead of a living, breathing warrior,” Jerome Bowers, CEO of One Common Cause: Community Control Initiative, said during the protest.

The confrontation also angered state lawmakers who represent the area that includes The Summit.

“Stop being silent when you see these injustices,” McLeod, who is Black, said from the Senate podium. “It’s not just happening to people who look like me. It’s impacting people who look like you, too.”

State Rep. Ivory Thigpen, D-Columbia, said, while he understands something might have occurred before the video, “What we did see, in my opinion, was an assault and intimidation.”

“Putting race aside, I was infuriated by what I saw as bullying and I loathe bullies,” Thigpen told The Post and Courier. “There needs to be clear fact finding, actions taken, hopefully mediation and resolution to promote harmony in the community.”

Stephen Fastenau and Seanna Adcox contributed from Columbia.

El momento de la explosión y el pánico tras el concierto de Ariana Grande en Manchester

Una explosión en el interior de un estadio de la ciudad de Manchester, Inglaterra, durante un concierto de la cantante estadounidense Ariana Grande, dejó al menos 22 muertos, incluidos varios niños, y cerca de 60 heridos.

La policía de Manchester informó que el suceso -denunciado por la primera ministra Theresa May como un ataque terrorista- se produjo a las 22:33 hora local (21:35 GMT) del lunes, en el vestíbulo de la Manchester Arena.

Este es un resumen de lo que se sabe hasta el momento:

  • Un atacante suicida activó un dispositivo explosivo improvisado al final del concierto de Grande.
  • La explosión causó al menos 22 muertos y 59 heridos, incluyendo a 12 menores de 16 años.
  • Hasta ahora han sido identificadas Georgina Callander, de 18 años y Saffie Rose Roussos de 8 como dos de las víctimas fatales
  • El atacante murió al activar el explosivo y aunque las autoridades creen conocer su identidad, esta todavía no será revelada públicamente.
  • Las autoridades también investigan si el hombre actuó sólo o como parte de una red.
  • Un hombre de 23 años ya fue arrestado en conexión con el incidente y se espera se produzcan más arrestos y allanamientos.
  • El incidente, descrito por la Theresa May como un “aterrador ataque terrorista”, es el más letal en Reino Unido desde los ataques que dejaron 52 muertos en Londres en julio de 2005.
  • La campaña electoral británica fue suspendida temporalmente.

El jefe de la policía de Manchester, Ian Hopkins, informó el martes que el ataque fue perpetrado por un hombre que llevaba consigo un dispositivo explosivo improvisado.

El indicó que el sujeto murió en la explosión y que se está investigando si actuó solo o como parte de una red.

La policía piensa que conoce la identidad del atacante, pero en este punto esa información no será revelada”, dijo sin embargo la primera ministra Theresa May en un mensaje a la nación este martes.

Por lo pronto, un hombre de 23 años ya fue arrestado cerca de un supermercado de Manchester en conexión con el ataque, aunque por el momento no se conocen más detalles.

Según el corresponsal de asuntos internos de la BBC, Danny Shaw, se esperan más arrestos y allanamientos.

Una niña entre las víctimas

En la mañana de este martes se dio a conocer el nombre de la primera víctima identificada de las 22 personas que murieron.

Georgina Callander (izq.) junto a Ariana Grande hace dos años, es una de las víctimas fatales del ataque.

Su nombre era Georgina Collander de 18 años de edad y se encontraba estudiando un curso de cuidados médicos en la institución educativa Runshaw College

“Georgina era estudiante de segundo año del curso de Cuidados Médicos. Nuestros sentimientos de profunda solidaridad y oraciones están con su familia y con los de las otras víctimas de este hecho”, se leyó en un comunicado dado a conocer por el centro educativo.

Más tarde, la escuela primaria Tarleton Community School confirmó que Saffie Rose Roussos de 8 años era una de las víctimas fatales. .

“Saffie fue una hermosa niña en todos los aspectos. Era querido por todos y su calidez y generosidad van a ser recordados para siempre”, dijo Chris Upton, director de la escuela.

De acuerdo al reporte, Saffie estaba con su madre y su hermana cuando ocurrió la explosión. Ambas familiares resultaron heridas y fueron trasladadas a hospitales separados.

Ataque cobarde

Durante el mensaje Theresa May condenó la agresión y señaló que aunque todos los “ataques terroristas” son terribles, este “se había destacado por su cobardía”.

Pero la primera ministra insistió en que los terroristas “no van a ganar”.

“El hecho de que hemos estado antes aquí y que tenemos que volverlo a decir no lo hace menos verdad, pues así como vimos lo peor de la humanidad en Manchester anoche, también vimos lo mejor”, dijo.

“Sólo queríamos salir lo más rápido posible porque no sabíamos qué estaba pasando”, narró uno de los presentes en el concierto.

May agradeció en particular a los organismos de socorro que participaron en la atención de la emergencia.

“Unas 400 personas entre policías y paramédicos trabajaron de forma valiente durante toda la noche atendiendo a las víctimas de la explosión. Para ellos mi total gratitud”, dijo May.

La jefa de gobierno británica señaló además que la campaña de cara a las elecciones generales del 8 de junio quedaba suspendida y que la estación Victoria y el Manchester Arena, donde ocurrió el ataque, continuarán cerrados por algún tiempo mientras avanza la investigación.

Confusión

Imágenes de video en redes sociales mostraron a los espectadores tratando de salir del recinto en pánico.

Los heridos están siendo atendidos en ocho hospitales de la ciudad.

Se estima que existían muchos menores entre los asistentes al concierto.

No bien se produjo el atentado, May rindió homenaje a los fallecidos y familiares de las víctimas y confirmó que la policía estaba tratando el hecho “como un aterrador ataque terrorista”.

La primera ministra también se reunió con su comité de crisis a primera hora de este martes.

El jefe de la policía, Ian Hopkins, indicó también que los servicios británicos de inteligencia y las fuerzas antiterrorismo del país llevan adelante, junto con la policía, la investigación de lo sucedido.

A la salida

Los administradores del Manchester Arena informaron en su cuenta de Twitter que el incidente sucedió en el exterior de la sala principal mientras la gente se retiraba del concierto.

Nuestros pensamientos y oraciones están con las víctimas“, señaló el breve pronunciamiento.

El Manchester Arena tiene capacidad para 21.000 personas.

El Manchester Arena es un centro deportivo cubierto con capacidad para 21.000 personas en el que se realizaron grandes presentaciones como conciertos de U2 y Madonna.

También se celebran eventos de boxeo, artes marciales y básquetbol.

Ariana Grande publicó un tuit en el que se declaró “destrozada” tras lo sucedido.

“Desde el fondo de mi corazón, lo siento mucho. No tengo palabras”. afirmó la cantante.

La estadounidense saltó a la fama como actriz de televisión en la adolescencia y a sus 23 años es considerada una estrella de la música pop.

Gran parte de sus seguidores son jóvenes menores de 20 años.

En el momento del incidente habían muchos padres en las afueras del lugar del concierto esperando a sus hijos.

Un vocero de la artista informó que tanto ella como su equipo se encuentran bien y no sufrieron daños durante el hecho.

Una hora después de lo sucedido en el Manchester Arena, la policía tuvo que realizar una explosión controlada en el parque Cathedral Gardens, cerca del lugar donde se produjo el incidente, debido a que encontró un objeto sospechoso.

Finalmente se constató que se trataba sólo de ropa abandonada.


Desde el lugar de los hechos: Tom Mullen, periodista de la BBC

La actividad policial alrededor del Manchester Arena es enorme. Hay luces intermitentes azules y cordones de seguridad en casi cada esquina de la zona.

Una amplia área alrededor del lugar fue completamente cerrada, y la escena del crimen parece estar ampliándose, con la policía empujando a la gente más y más atrás.

He hablado con personas que están sacudidas, asustadas y a menudo llorando.

Una cosa que es evidente es que hay muchos, muchos jóvenes, algunos de ellos con padres o tutores. Una madre me dijo que su prioridad era simplemente conseguir que sus hijas regresaran a casa.

Otros han descrito ver personas cubiertas de sangre, o ser tratadas por paramédicos. Todavía hay un enorme sentimiento de confusión y la gente está constantemente buscando información mientras deja que sus familias sepan que están a salvo.


Los testimonios

Testigos relataron que después de que se escuchó “un fuerte ruido”, la confusión y el pánico se apoderó de los presentes en el concierto.

Robert Tempkin, de 22 años, contó como “todo el mundo estaba gritando y corriendo, había abrigos y teléfonos de la gente en el suelo“.

“Algunas personas gritaban que habían visto sangre. Había un montón de ambulancias, vi a alguien siendo tratado y no podría decir lo que le había sucedido”, añadió.

La policía confirmó que se registraron muertos y heridos.

Josh Elliott, hablando a BBC Radio 5, dijo que estaba sorprendido por las noticias de las muertes.

“Fue un alboroto, fue horrible. Nos levantamos cuando pensamos que era seguro y salimos lo más rápido posible”.

Elliot narró que fuera del Manchester Arena “la gente solo lloraba y lloraba. “Había vehículos de la policía por todas partes“.

“Sólo queríamos salir lo más rápido posible porque no sabíamos qué estaba pasando”, relató.

Michelle Sullivan asistió al concierto con sus hijas, de 12 y 15 años.

“Fue muy aterrador”, dijo. “Justo cuando las luces se apagaron oímos una explosión muy fuerte. Todos gritaron”, señaló.

“We conduct effective counterterrorism missions against terrorist groups in multiple countries where we don’t have permanent military presence,” Mr. Biden said this month. “If necessary, we’ll do the same in Afghanistan. We’ve developed counterterrorism over-the-horizon capability that will allow us to keep our eyes firmly fixed on the direct threats to the United States in the region, and act quickly and decisively if needed.”

Their original plan for Afghanistan, however, was premised on a scenario in which the United States would conduct airstrikes with the consent of President Ashraf Ghani, supporting his government’s efforts to resist any transnational terrorist groups, like Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, that sought to use the country as a base of operations. The Taliban, while separately vying for control of the country, would be neutral in that category of conflict, at least on the surface.

But instead, Mr. Ghani fled, the Afghan army abruptly abdicated and the Taliban swept into power as the de facto government. As a result, a playbook for any future counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan now needs to be redeveloped against the awkward backdrop of uncertainty about the Taliban’s intentions, including whether they will return to hosting terrorist camps as they did in the 1990s, the officials said.

The current and former officials briefed on the deliberations over the drone strike policy spoke about the delicate internal discussions only on the condition of anonymity. Asked for comment, the National Security Council’s press office re-sent The New York Times a statement it had provided in March for an article about the legal policy review, which was then in an early stage.

The Biden plans make sense both to raise standards for protecting civilians but also to maintain greater flexibility for different settings across the world, said Luke Hartig, who worked on drone strike policy for the Obama administration as a senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council.

But, he added: “Afghanistan is going to have to be very fluid. I would hate to have to write guidance for Afghanistan right now.”

    Fox News host Tucker Carlson witnessed the historic meeting between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on Sunday, and shared his thoughts on “Fox & Friends.”

    Carlson said Kim was “wheezing” in an unhealthy manner and sounded like an “emphysema” patient, whose health was rapidly deteriorating.

    “Our president met with the North Korean leader, basically, with relatively few people watching. They kind of almost, like a movie scene, met after walking toward one another — actually to the border. They shook hands … then both of them came back and kind of stood there, about three feet away from us and talked,” he said.

    “Kim struck me as — he’s a hard character. there’s no question about that — maybe a little off his game,” Carlson continued. “I don’t think he’s surrounded by people he doesn’t control very often – wheezing like an emphysema patient, not a healthy guy. But, basically, he struck me as kind of self-contained. Trump was about as happy as I’ve ever seen him because it really is something that hasn’t been done before and probably would not have been done without him, and his very different style of governing and thinking.”

    TRUMP PROMISES NOT TO USE KIM JONG UN’S FAMILY MEMBERS AS INTEL ASSETS

    Carlson, who said the DMZ felt like “the end of the earth,” continued to describe Kim’s apparent poor health and labored breathing.

    “It really felt like we were at the end of the earth, the middle of nowhere, with kind of not many people around, standing in the middle of the street. It was very odd. And, I mean, right next to Kim. I mean could have touched him, that close,” he said.

    “And, he was breathing like an emphysema patient. I’m not saying that to be insulting but he was breathing in a labored way like he was out of breath. And even allowing for the historic nature of it, which I’m sure played a role in his breathlessness, but my take as a non-physician was — this is a very unhealthy guy. Very unhealthy. I mean, maybe I’m wrong… but that was the first thing I thought. This guy is in very bad health.”

    TRUMP OFFERS TO MEET KIM JONG UN AT NORTH KOREAN BORDER

    Carlson also said he believed Trump has been genuine in his relationship with Kim and claimed the president “dominated” and “towered over” the rogue state leader.

    “I think it’s heartfelt … he’s not an admirer of the atrocities [Kim’s] committed obviously, but Trump thinks he’s a competent scrappy guy … and it can’t be easy to hold on to third generational power in a country like that where the ruling class is filled with 80-year-old generals … it takes a pretty hard man to keep a hold on power in a place like North Korea, so I think Trump respects his toughness,” he said.

    “My sense … just standing there for an hour watching — I think he was probably a little bit overwhelmed by Trump who towers over him and who is a very large man,” Carlson added. “He seemed to kind of dominate him and there was a kind of magnetism and real aggression to Trump, so it didn’t feel exactly like peers. It felt like maybe an older brother-younger brother kind of situation.”

    Carlson said it’s impossible to defend North Korea’s horrible track record on human rights and called it a “disgusting place,” but also offered the realist flip-side of the coin.

    “There’s no defending the North Korean regime, which is a monstrous regime. It’s the last really Stalinist regime in the world. It’s a disgusting place, obviously, and so there’s no defending it,” he said.

    “On the other hand, you’ve got to be honest about what it means to lead a country, it means killing people. Not on the scale that the North Koreans do, but a lot of countries commit atrocities including a number that we’re closely allied with.”

    “I’m not a relativist or anything, but it’s important to be honest about that,” Carlson added.

    “And, it’s not necessarily a choice between the evil people and the great people. It’s a choice most of the time between the bad people and the worse people. That’s just kind of the nature of life, and certainly the nature of power, and I do think that’s how the president sees it. He’s far less sentimental about this stuff and maybe, I think, more realistic about it.”

    Carlson’s one-on-one interview with the president is set to air Monday night at 8 p.m. ET on the Fox News Channel.

    Tres figuras jóvenes de Alemania: Götze, Schürrle y Boateng.

    Cuando el capitán Philipp Lahm levantó este domingo la Copa del Mundo en Río de Janeiro, rubricó la hazaña de un triunfo que hace de Alemania el primer país europeo que gana un Mundial de fútbol en América.

    El equipo consiguió esa gesta, además, en uno de los más míticos estadios de la región, el Maracaná, y ante una de las grandes selecciones de esta parte del mundo, Argentina.

    Los dirigidos por Löw rompieron así la tradición que asegura que los equipos del continente donde se juega el campeonato tienen cierta ventaja gracias a aspectos como las condiciones climáticas o el mayor apoyo de los aficionados.

    Los cuatro mundiales disputados en Sudamérica hasta ahora habían sido ganados por el país local o uno del vecindario, mientras nueve de los diez disputados en Europa fueron ganados por europeos. La única excepción fue Brasil, en 1958, cuando el mundo conoció a Pelé.

    Así comentamos la final del Mundial

    “Toda Alemania es campeona”, dijo tras el pitazo final del domingo Manuel Neuer, quien fue elegido el mejor portero del torneo. “No sé hasta cuándo festejemos, pero siempre nos levantaremos con una sonrisa”.

    Lahm, por su parte, destacó el trabajo en conjunto. “Da totalmente lo mismo si tenemos los mejores jugadores individuales. Uno tiene que tener el mejor equipo”.

    Una máquina bien engranada

    En las palabras de Lahm se esconde precisamente una de las claves que le permitió a Alemania romper el maleficio de los anteriores siete Mundiales que se celebraron en América (ver recuadro).

    El campeón de Brasil 2014 fue el equipo diferente del torneo, el que funcionó como una máquina bien aceitada cuyos elementos se combinaron a la perfección.

    Löw es el primer técnico desde Beckenbauer que levanta la Copa del Mundo para Alemania.

    Sin figuras rutilantes sobre las que recayó todo el peso, cada uno de los jugadores supo aprovechar el momento preciso para destacarse. Eso va desde el portero Neuer, tan importante ante Argelia, como el mismo Mario Götze, quien saltó desde la banca para anotar el gol del título, o Toni Kroos, quien jugó un partido fenomenal ante Brasil.

    Ese engranaje es el fruto del trabajo del técnico Joachim Löw, quien asumió el mando de la selección tras la dolorosa eliminación del Mundial de 2006, celebrado precisamente en Alemania, y desde entonces le ha impuesto su estilo a un equipo que se caracteriza por su dinamismo y su efectividad.

    El plantel, además, “se adapta rápidamente a cambios en la formación táctica durante los partidos, según las exigencias del adversario”, escribió el analista de deportes de BBC Mundo, Raúl Fain Binda.

    Otro aspecto que juega en favor de Alemania es la organización estructural de la Bundesliga y los programas introducidos por la Federación Alemana de Fútbol (DFB, por sus siglas en alemán) para preparar a las nuevas generaciones.

    “La cantera produce jugadores a buen ritmo: en la final de la Liga de Campeones 2013, entre Bayern Múnich y Borussia Dortmund, nada menos que 26 jugadores de ambos planteles eran producto del sistema de academias y elegibles para representar a Alemania”, argumenta Fain Binda.

    Precisamente uno de los aspectos más llamativos de esta selección alemana es la juventud de algunas de sus estrellas: el anotador del domingo, Götze, tiene 22 años; el goleador, Thomas Müller, apenas dos más, los mismos que Kroos. Y Schürrle tiene 23.

    Ya no hay un bloqueo mental

    Schweinsteiger fue uno de los bastiones de Alemania en el Mundial.

    Pero el triunfo de un país europeo en América por primera vez en la historia también responde a la evolución misma que ha tenido el deporte.

    “Dos equipos europeos disputaron la última final del Mundial que se jugó fuera de Europa -España y Holanda en Sudáfrica 2010- así que creo que ese ‘bloqueo mental’ particular ya ha sido removido”, dijo antes de Brasil 2014 Ioan Lupescu, directivo técnico jefe de la Unión de Asociaciones Europeas de Fútbol (UEFA).

    “Ir a un continente diferente ya no genera las incertidumbres que alguna vez tuvo, incluso en Sudamérica”, agregó.

    La UEFA recuerda cómo, por ejemplo, fue todo un desafío logístico para las selecciones europeas asistir al primer mundial de la historia, en 1930 en Uruguay, a donde llegaron en barco.

    Mucho ha cambiado desde entonces, por supuesto, y también desde el último Mundial en Sudamérica, el de Argentina en 1978.

    La mayoría de jugadores ahora tienen ritmos de trabajo similares, pues forman parte de clubes de las ligas europeas, y sus entrenamientos se han sofisticado hasta el punto que pueden reducir el impacto de los viajes largos o las presiones climáticas.

    De ahí que el principal elemento diferenciador no sea las condiciones locales sino lo que hagan los técnicos y los jugadores sobre el terreno de juego.

    Alemania dio cátedra de ello en Brasil 2014.

    Hemming, de 31 años, quien dejó su puesto a principios de la semana, como informó la publicación especializada
    Politico, tenía la labor de destacar y promover la cobertura favorable que el gobierno recibe en medios tradicionales, esos mismos que el presidente
    Donald Trump suele atacar e insultar como “fake news” o “deshonestos”.

    Justo esta semana
    Trump arremetió contra los medios tradicionales durante un evento de campaña en Phoenix Arizona, en el que los acusó incluso de fomentar la división del país y amplificar la voz de los grupos supremacistas blancos, aunque no explicó de qué manera lo harían.

    Con seguridad, esa pugna permanente entre el presidente y la prensa haría muy difícil para Hemming identificar noticias “positivas” sobre la acción oficial para hacerlas circular entre otros medios y los opinadores profesionales que suelen usar las televisoras, una labor que suelen hacer todos los gobiernos.

    La verdad es que desde la Casa Blanca se ha estado promoviendo más noticias negativas sobre los demócratas y otros factores opuestos al presidente Trump que cosas favorables hechas por el gobierno.

    A mediados de julio, por ejemplo, Hemming destacó un trabajo del
    The New York Times en el que se analizaba cómo los demócratas estaban bloqueando las nominaciones enviadas por el mandatario para ocupar cargos en la administración pública y en tribunales federales.

    Éxodo continuo

    Aunque Hemming no ha comentado con ningún medio hasta ahora las razones de su partida, la Casa Blanca ha informado que la decisión se tomó “de mutuo acuerdo”, al tiempo que la portavoz presidencial Sarah Huckabee le deseó “lo mejor” en su próximo destino.

    En condiciones normales, un cargo tan específico dentro del equipo de prensa no recibiría tanta atención, peor se trata de una deserción más a pocos meses de empezada la presidencia desde que en julio
    la fugaz pasada de Anthony Scaramucci por la Casa Blanca, se saldó con la salida de Spicer, el jefe de gabinete, Reince Priebus, y finalmente el mismo Scaramucci, tras solo diez días como jefe de comunicaciones.

    La semana pasada el estratega jefe Steve Bannon dejó su cargo, al igual que Scaramucci, como parte de la reestructuración del equipo que trabaja con el presidente que acometió el nuevo jefe de personal, John Kelly.

    En semanas pasadas, Vice News informó que el presidente recibía dos veces al día una carpeta con las informaciones positivas sobre él y su gobierno salidas en los medios, aunque en aquel momento el renunciante secretario de prensa, Sean Spicer, calificó la información de “ridícula”, aunque dijo que no hablaría sobre los materiales que se comparten con el mandatario.
