Representative Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican, criticized GOP colleagues who plan to object during the counting of states’ electoral votes in Congress on January 6.
The Electoral College formally certified President-elect Joe Biden‘s victory over President Donald Trump last Monday—with the Democrat garnering 306 votes to the president’s 232. But some close allies of Trump in Congress have said they plan to object to vote tallies from several key battleground states in a longshot bid to overturn the election results. Trump and his supporters have claimed without evidence that Biden won through widespread voter fraud.
The Quote
During an interview with CNN on Monday morning, Kinzinger called out conspiracy theories being pushed by Trump and his supporters on social media. The Republican lawmaker has been highly critical of the misinformation about the election being circulated online.
“Now, you believe that somehow on January 6 the U.S. Congress can overthrow the results of an election, or that we even have a role in determining who the president is. We don’t,” Kinzinger told CNN, commenting on what Trump supporters think because of widely debunked conspiracy theories circulating on social media.
“But there has been some not serious people in Congress that have convinced their base, for retweets and money, that we can as members of Congress go out and determine that we just want Trump to be the president again in 2020,” the congressman added.
Why It Matters
Representative Mo Brooks, an Alabama Republican, is leading the effort to object to the vote tallies of several key battleground states that went for Biden. Representative Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, said over the weekend that he plans to throw his support behind Brooks’ plan.
“I’m joining with the fighters in the Congress, and we are going to object to electors from states that didn’t run clean elections,” Gaetz said Saturday at conservative group Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit.
The Constitution does allow for members of Congress to submit their objections in writing to any state’s electoral votes. But in order for the objection to be discussed, a member of the House and Senate must both sign on to the objection. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, along with other Senate GOP leaders, has urged his colleagues to not join any House efforts to object. But several Republican senators have suggested they are open to the idea.
For the objection to succeed in overturning a state’s results, both the Senate and the House must agree to the objection with a simple majority vote. The prospect of even one of the chambers of Congress agreeing to an objection is considered highly unlikely. Even in the GOP-controlled Senate, there are enough Republican senators who are expected to join their Democratic colleagues in shooting down any objections. Meanwhile, the House is narrowly controlled by Democrats.

Opposing View
Trump and his supporters claim that Biden won through widespread voter fraud. They argue that the election results must be overturned in order to save the Republic, alleging that the election was “rigged.”
However, there is no evidence to support these allegations. Trump and his allies have filed dozens of failed lawsuits, as judge after judge has rejected or dismissed the allegations—pointing out that attorneys have not provided any evidence. Even judges appointed by Republicans and Trump himself have rejected the claims.
Attorney General William Barr, who has been widely seen as one of Trump’s most loyal Cabinet members, said at the beginning of December that there is no evidence of fraud that would change the election’s results. Barr later submitted his resignation after significant criticism from the president.
Newsweek reached out to press representatives for Gaetz and Brooks for comment but did not hear back before publication.

Authorities announced the recovery of six more bodies from the wreckage of a collapsed Miami condo tower on Wednesday, raising the confirmed death toll to 18.
Four victims were recovered overnight while two additional victims found in the rubble were announced on Wednesday evening. Daniella Levine Cava, the mayor of Miami-Dade county, said two of the victims were children. It was the highest one-day death toll since the collapse last week, and 147 people remain unaccounted for.
At the same time, rescue workers were casting a wary eye across the Atlantic at a developing weather system that has the potential to affect the disaster site next week as a possible tropical storm or hurricane.
The four victims recovered overnight from the wreckage of the Champlain Towers South block in the oceanfront town of Surfside were found by an Israeli search and rescue team.
Levine Cava said during a morning press briefing. She said the search for any survivors of last Thursday’s collapse was continuing “24/7, without stop”.
“We are doing everything humanly possible, and then some, to get through this tragedy, and we are doing it together,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) was monitoring two potential tropical systems crossing the Atlantic, the second of which, it said, had an 80% chance of developing into a dangerous tropical system over the next five days.
It is too early to know if there could be any impact to south Florida, but officials are taking precautions. The director of the Florida department of emergency management, Kevin Guthrie, told the briefing that an additional federal search and rescue team would arrive in Miami later on Wednesday “to free up state assets” that might be needed elsewhere.
“We’re working with our state meteorologist and the NHC. If a system does develop we have contingency plans, which include backup plans of how we will continue to respond here while responding to a hurricane,” he said.
The Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, added: “This is hurricane season. We take this very seriously and take whatever steps are necessary. We hope we don’t have to, we hope it doesn’t come to that, but it is the season and you’ve got to be ready.”

Thunderstorms rolled over the disaster site again on Friday, contributing to what the Miami-Dade fire and rescue chief, Alan Cominsky, said was already a hazardous environment to crews still sifting the rubble. On Sunday, one worker fell 25ft, witnessed by some of the families of the missing who were visiting the site.
“It’s a very, very difficult situation,” he said, describing the effort as “gruelling”. “We’re exhausting every avenue [but] it’s a very dangerous situation.”
As the search entered its seventh full day on Wednesday, processions of heavy dump trucks, escorted by police vehicles with sirens sounding, continued to remove wreckage. About 300m tons of rubble had been cleared so far, Cominsky said.
Joe Biden, who signed a federal disaster declaration last week, is scheduled to visit the scene on Thursday, and meet with families of those still unaccounted for at an assistance center in a nearby hotel.
Of those known to have died, 12 have so far been identified, Levine Cava said, the latest the 92-year-old mother of the police chief of the Miami neighborhood of North Bay, on Wednesday morning.
In a statement issued through the North Bay administration, the family of Hilda Noriega said they had lost their “heart and soul … but will get through this time by embracing the unconditional love Hilda was known for”.
A lawsuit filed by a survivor on Tuesday gave an insight into the horrors of the collapse.
“I run [sic] to the exit, open the doors that lead to the outside stairwell and saw the devastation,” the resident, Raysa Rodriguez, stated in the lawsuit against the condominium association, seen by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
“The beachside of Champlain had collapsed, pancaked. I screamed in horror,” she said.
Rodriguez said she was asleep, but was awakened by a loud noise, finding herself in the middle of the room with no idea how she got there.
DeSantis, Levine Cava and other state officials have promised an in-depth inquiry into the disaster. It was revealed at the weekend that a structural engineer’s report in 2018 revealed major defects in the condominium complex that were never addressed, and it was reported this week that the condo association sent a letter to residents in April warning that the building’s structural conditions were deteriorating.
Yayita, la bella mujer que lideraba una banda de asaltantes en Colombia

Andrea Torres, ´Yayita´, lideraba una banda de asaltantes en Bogotá. Mientras ella distraía con sus encantos a los vigilantes sus cómplices desvalijaban las residencias.
Las autoridades colombianas capturaron a alias “Yayita”, una mujer de 28 años a la que se atribuyen cerca de 300 robos valiéndose de sus atributos físicos para distraer a los guardas de viviendas de Bogotá, según informó hoy la Policía.
El rastro de Andrea Johanna Torres era seguido por la Policía desde hace seis meses tras descubrir que la esbelta mujer de mirada seductora era la jefa de una banda de asaltantes que en los últimos 11 años se dedicó a robar joyas, aparatos electrónicos y otros elementos de valor en residencias de la ciudad.
El director de la Policía de Bogotá, general Humberto Guatibonza, dijo a periodistas que Torres fue arrestada en una vivienda de la capital colombiana en momentos en que se disponía a abandonar el país con destino a Alemania usando documentación falsa.
Investigadores de la Policía intensificaron su búsqueda en julio pasado, después de que en un mismo día “Yayita” y sus cómplices robaron tres apartamentos de un exclusivo conjunto residencial, para lo cual la mujer distrajo a los vigilantes, lo que facilitó la entrada de la banda en el edificio.
Ese día, según los afectados, la banda robó en cuestión de 20 minutos unos 80 millones de pesos (unos 34.000 dólares).
En las redes sociales la mujer hacía alarde del dinero invitando a fiestas y publicando fotografías.
La capturada tendrá que responder por los delitos de hurto y concierto para delinquir y ahora está en una cárcel para mujeres en donde ya había estado purgando una condena por delitos similares.
Cuando estuvo en prisión por primera vez, Torres ganó un concurso de belleza, según las autoridades.

President Trump’s ‘America First’ approach has relied on slapping tariffs on countries, such as China and Mexico, which have led to current trade wars. What is a tariff and how do they work? We explain. Just the FAQs, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – China on Thursday sidestepped the idea of another meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping and threatened retaliation if the United States follows through with new tariffs on its exports.
“China will have to take the necessary countermeasures,” said a statement from China’s Ministry of Finance.
Trump suggested that Xi meet “directly and personally” with anti-government protesters in Hong Kong, saying that could lead to “a happy and enlightened ending” to the problems in that city.
The Chinese objected to Trump’s comments about Hong Kong, calling the situation an internal manner that is none of the president’s business.
Trump tweeted Wednesday night about the possibility of a “personal meeting” between him and Xi amid massive declines in financial markets, the result of anxious investors worried about the trade war between the United States and China, as well as the Chinese crackdown on protesters in Hong Kong.
“I know President Xi of China very well,” Trump tweeted. “He is a great leader who very much has the respect of his people. He is also a good man in a ‘tough business.’ I have ZERO doubt that if President Xi wants to quickly and humanely solve the Hong Kong problem, he can do it. Personal meeting?”
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said, “Regarding high-level communication, the Chinese and U.S. presidents have remained in contact with each other via meetings, phone calls and letters.”
Trump defended his tariff policy toward China and blamed the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies for the market slump.
This week, the Trump administration announced it would delay until Dec. 15 tariffs on Chinese goods that were supposed to go into effect in September. Trump said he made the move to prevent the tit-for-tat tariff war from affecting the holiday shopping period in the USA.
In the second major sell-off this week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 800 points Wednesday, or 3.05%, the worst percentage drop of the year.
In a series of tweets and statements, Trump said previous tariffs on Chinese products have hurt its economy and made the government more eager to strike a free trade agreement with the United States. The two nations have held on-and-off talks over the past year but have been unable to strike a deal.
Economists said U.S. consumers wind up paying for the tariffs, slowing economic growth and hamstringing markets.
“President Trump’s on-again, off-again tweets about new tariffs on Chinese imports have been dizzying,” said Chad Bown, senior fellow with the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “They have generated turmoil in financial markets and understandable confusion among consumers.”
The prospect of Chinese military action in Hong Kong, a major financial center, also rattled the markets.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Chunying repeated Trump’s words about the Hong Kong tensions.
“Hong Kong affairs are entirely China’s internal affairs,” he said. “As we noted, President Trump also said previously that ‘Hong Kong is a part of China. They’ll have to deal with that themselves. They don’t need advice.’ We hope the U.S. side will keep its word.”
President Donald J. Trump awards Sergeant John A. Chapman the posthumous Medal of Honor on August 22, 2018 in the East Room at the White House for his actions on March 4, 2002, on Takur Ghar mountain in Afghanistan. Chapman’s aircraft was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, ejecting one teammate rom the aircraft, and crippling the helicopter after it crashed in the valley below. Chapman and the remaining joint special operations team members voluntarily returned to the snow-capped mountain, into known enemy stronghold, in an attempt to rescue their stranded teammate. Sergeant Chapman’s spouse, Valerie Nessel, and family joined the President at the White House to commemorate his example of selfless service and sacrifice on Aug 22, 2018. Camille Fine, USA TODAY

Hay quien cree que el superávit público alemán está siendo un problema para la zona euro.
Las últimas cifras económicas de la zona euro, hechas públicas esta semana, muestran variaciones significativas entre los países que la conforman.
Alemania, por ejemplo, sigue creciendo pero de una manera leve.
Tanto Berlín como la eurozona en su conjunto crecieron un 0,3% en los últimos tres meses del año pasado.
¿Pero está Alemania— la mayor economía de entre los estados miembro de la Unión Europea que adoptaron el euro— siendo un lastre para la región?
Hay quienes aseguran que el persistente patrón de Alemania de exportar mucho más de lo que importa está frenando el desarrollo de toda la eurozona.
Y el contexto de este argumento es la crisis financiera de la zona euro.

Image caption
No solo los recortes, sino Alemania estarían detrás del freno en el desarrollo de varios países, dicen algunos expertos.
Para entender por qué algunos ven a Alemania como un problema, hay que empezar a fijarse en los países más golpeados por la crisis.
Varios han tenido que hacer unos ajustes difíciles y poco populares ante ello: austeridad para mejorar las finanzas del gobierno y reformas económicas para impulsar el crecimiento a largo plazo.
Tensiones políticas
Muchos economistas dicen que la austeridad frena la recuperación.
Aunque también existe la visión contraria, la de aquellos que creen que a veces puede traer de vuelta el crecimiento.
Pero más allá de las discusiones económicas, esto sobre todo ha provocado tensiones políticas.
Varios gobiernos de la zona euro que implementaron políticas de austeridad se han topado con protestas en las calles y en las urnas.

Image caption
Los países que implementaron políticas de austeridad se encontraron con protestas como éstas.
Pero ¿podría haber sido esto un poco más fácil?
Es ahí donde Alemania sale a relucir.
Varias voces insisten en que Berlín hizo las consecuencias de estas políticas más duras de lo que hubieran tenido que ser.
Pero, ¿cómo? ¿no es Alemania la sede de la prudencia y la virtud financiera de la eurozona?
Bueno, existe un caso en el que esas características de Alemania se vuelven un problema para el resto de los socios.
Y esta es la razón.
Desequilibrio económico
Las características más evidentes de la crisis de la zona euro han sido la presión sobre los bancos, los préstamos solicitados por los gobiernos y la quiebra del mercado inmobiliario en varias naciones.
Pero también se han creado enormes desequilibrios comerciales y financieros entre los países.
En los años previos a la crisis, los países que serían afectados de forma más grave empezaron a tener un déficit cada vez mayor en sus “cuentas corrientes”; esto es, los gastos realizados por el
Estado superaban a los ingresos no financieros.
Este déficit incluía las exportaciones e importaciones de bienes y servicios, y todo una gama de transferencias financieras.
Esa situación requería financiamiento exterior, algo que, cuando todo iba bien, fue bastante fácil.
Los bancos extranjeros prestaron dinero y los inversores compraron activos financieros, incluida la deuda pública. Y eso es también una forma de prestar dinero.

Image caption
Los bancos extranjeros prestaron dinero a los países con déficit.
Pero este proceso se vio gravemente afectado por la crisis financiera de la eurozona, cuando la solidez de los bancos y los gobiernos de los países afectados empezó a ser cuestionada.
Estos debieron hacer ajustes.
Con los flujos financieros interrumpidos, tuvieron que disminuir el déficit en las cuentas corrientes, incluso llegar a tener superávit. Y lo lograron.
Todos los países de la zona euro que fueron rescatados tenían un gran déficit público antes de la crisis.
Grecia, Portugal y Chipre llegaron a tener un déficit de entre el 12 y el 15% sobre el Producto Interior Bruto (PIB).
Justo antes de la crisis España duplicó su déficit público, y en Irlanda llegó a ser del 5,7% del PIB.
Hoy todos ellos tienen superávit, salvo Chipre, donde el déficit ha disminuido.
El superávit creciente de Alemania
Ahora es cuando viene un importante ejercicio de aritmética económica.
Las cuentas corrientes a nivel mundial deben estar equilibradas.
Así, el déficit de un lugar compensará el superávit de otro.
De ello se desprende que el cambio de déficit a superávit en Grecia, Portugal y los demás debe reflejarse en un movimiento en la dirección opuesta en otros países.
Así que lo lógico es fijarse en lo que ocurrió con los países de la eurozona que tenían superávit antes de la crisis.
Esto incluye Austria, Finlandia y los Países Bajos.
Pero donde el superávit era realmente grande era en… acertaste, Alemania.
Pero entonces, ¿disminuyó el superávit alemán al ajustar la situación de los países en crisis?
Image copyright Getty
Image caption
Muchos dicen que hubiera sido más fácil para los países en crisis hacer ajustes si el gobierno de Angela Merkel hubiera dejado de tener superávit.
No, se hizo más grande.
Pasó de ser de un 5,6% sobre el PIB en 2010 a ser del 8,5% el año pasado.
Sí ha habido ajustes como consecuencia del superávit de Grecia y los otros países.
Pero ha ocurrido fuera de la zona euro.
En 2010 la eurozona estaba más o menos en equilibrio con el resto del mundo, pero ahora tiene un superávit sustancial.
Planteado de otro modo: el resto del mundo tiene ahora un déficit considerable con la zona euro.
Muchos dicen que hubiera sido más fácil para los países en crisis hacer ajustes si Alemania hubiera dejado de tener superávit.
El persistente, incluso creciente superávit de Berlín implica que la carga de ajuste haya caído sobre los países en crisis y, como consecuencia, importen ahora menos de lo que hubieran importado de otra forma.
De hecho, ha habido un marcado descenso en las importaciones en Grecia en cinco años consecutivos.
Quizá con una demanda más fuerte de Alemania estos países hubieran podido crecer más rápido.
Esto a su vez les hubiera ayudado a restaurar las finanzas de sus gobiernos antes y, como consecuencia, a que el impacto negativo de las medidas sobre los estándares de vida de sus ciudadanos fuera menor.
Uno de los más críticos con las medidas con el crecimiento de Alemania y con las medidas de austeridad ha sido Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, el editor de economía internacional del diario británico Daily Telegraph.
“El superávit es… seguramente más peligroso para la unidad de la zona euro que cualquier otra cosa que esté pasando en Grecia”, escribió en una ocasión.
“Exceso de ahorros”
Para ser claros, esto no es una crítica a la industria alemana por producir productos de alta calidad que otros quieren comprar.
Daniel Gros, del Centro para el Estudio de Políticas Europeas (CEPS, por sus siglas en inglés), una institución con sede en Bruselas, así lo explica:
“Desde un punto de vista estrictamente económico, la interpretación de la situación sería distinta: el gran superávit actual en las cuentas refleja un exceso de ahorro interno frente a la inversión doméstica”.
Y este es el tema central.

Image caption
Alemania debería invertir en la economía doméstica, dicen algunos expertos.
El saldo de las cuentas corrientes de un Estado tiene que ver con las finanzas del gobierno y también con la cantidad que un país ahorra e invierte.
Si ahorras más dinero del que gastas, si un gobierno gasta menos de lo que recibe de los impuestos, ambos tendrán un superávit en las cuentas; esto es, un exceso de dinero.
Así que, para evitar eso, una de las opciones de Alemania sería o gastar más o bajar los impuestos.
¿Pero podría permitirse hacer eso?
Tiene superávit en sus finanzas desde 2012 y la carga de la deuda acumulada por el gobierno no es particularmente grande.
Gros cree que podría invertir más en infraestructura pública.
Y es que hay quien habla del “deterioro de la infraestructura”.

Image caption
La infraestructura pública es un sector en el que Alemania debería invertir, insisten los economistas.
Para los visitantes extranjeros es algo exagerado, pero hay un debate activo sobre el tema.
Evans-Pritchard, del Daily Telegraph es más mordaz: “Cuanto antes abandone Alemania el fetichismo fiscal e invierta su propio dinero en su propio país para su propio beneficio, mejor será para todos”.
La idea es que si Berlín hubiera ahorrado menos, parte del dinero gastado hubiera ido al extranjero.
Y esto podría ocurrir de varias manera: ya sea por la importación de productos, porque los trabajadores alemanes podrían ir de vacaciones al extranjero, o porque Alemania podría emplear a trabajadores extranjeros y estos a su vez enviarían dinero a sus familias en su país de origen.
Defensa presupuestaria
Aún así, el superávit de Alemania se ve con frecuencia como un signo de su destreza económica.
Jens Weidmann, el presidente del banco central aleman, el Bundesbank, dijo que el equilibrado presupuesto del gobierno es todo un éxito.
“Sería absurdo discutir medidas para debilitar artificialmente la competitividad de Alemania con el fin de reducir el superávit actual de las cuentas frente a otros países de la zona euro”, declaró.
El volumen del excedente de Alemania también refleja el hecho de que, al igual que el resto de la eurozona, obtuvo algún beneficio del reciente debilitamiento del euro y que su competitividad mejoró.
Cualesquiera sean las razones, y se culpe a quien se culpe, es probable que las próximas cifras económicas de la zona euro muestren de nuevo una recuperación muy leve.
Several Democrats traveled to Texas on Saturday and toured the same facility that Vice President Mike Pence visited the day prior. Massachusetts Democrat Jim McGovern tweeted out a video of a group of migrants crowded behind a glass panel at the McAllen, Texas border patrol station.
We have been able to confirm what other Members of Congress have heard & seen:
-no showers for over 40 days. -lights are kept on all night & people are sleeping on concrete floors. -some are complaining they have gone hungry. pic.twitter.com/ob6kiwrCoQ
He was one of several House lawmakers who documented the visit showing detainees cramped on concrete floors and in caged holding cells.
“The cruelty of people sleeping on the floor, being kept in such conditions for 60 days, it’s just beyond comprehension,” said Rep. Nydia Velazquez of New York.
Pence toured the same facility Friday. He pushed back against Democrats’ claims of a “manufactured crisis” and defended border agents.
“This is tough stuff, Pence said. “And when we have overflow, as we do in an overwhelmed system, the need for those temporary facilities is evident.”
But the images stood in stark contrast to a center for migrant families that the vice president visited earlier in the day where he said they were being properly cared for.
“One of the mothers just told me when I ask her how are you being treated here, she said ‘very good.’ That’s what the American people expect,” Pence said.
The Vice President says it’s up to Congress to act. Lawmakers have already approved a $4.6 billion package for emergency border funding and Democrats say they’re working on new legislation.
President Trump said he may visit a detention facility in the future.

El tramo especial de la segunda etapa del Rally Dakar 2016, previsto este lunes entre las ciudades de Villa Carlos Paz y Termas de Río Hondo, podría ser acortado “por lo menos 150 kilómetros” a raíz de las pronósticos adversos del clima, según informó hoy la organización.
“Está previsto que llueva en gran parte de la noche (de domingo a lunes) sobre el trazado de la especial, luego se detendrá sobre el final de la madrugada y volverá a comenzar por la tarde”, explicó el director de la carrera, Etienne Lavigne.
“Estamos repensando la organización del lunes para poder asegurar un sector selectivo en buenas condiciones. Hay varias soluciones: desplazar la salida, recortar la especial para no ser afectada por la lluvia. El objetivo es hacer las cosas con seguridad”, explicó, agregando que la especial podría ser recortada “por lo menos 150 km”.
La segunda etapa del Rally Dakar 2016 está prevista el lunes entre las ciudades de Villa Carlos Paz y Termas de Río Hondo, de 847 km (510 de especial) para los autos y camiones, y de 787 km (450 de especial) para las motos y cuatriciclos.
“Vamos a hacer todo lo posible para poder hacer una etapa en buenas condiciones”, puntualizó Lavigne, antes de informar de una mejora en las condiciones climáticas para la tercera etapa, prevista el martes entre Termas de Río Hondo y San Salvador de Jujuy.
(CNN) – El solo hecho de que algo esté en internet no necesariamente significa que sea verdad. Parece simple, pero si todo el mundo supiera eso, Facebook y Google no habrían tenido que sacar sitios de noticias falsas de sus algoritmos publicitarios y la gente no hubiera compartido repetidamente historias en las que se decía que Donald Trump es un secreto hombre lagarto, o que Hillary Clinton es una androide.
No tiene que ser de esta manera. Las noticias falsas son realmente fáciles de detectar si sabes cómo. Considera esto como tu Guía de alfabetización en internet.
Nota: Al escribir esto, buscamos la ayuda de dos expertos en comunicaciones: la doctora Melissa Zimdars, profesora asociada del Merrimack College en Massachusetts, cuya dinámica lista de sitios de noticias poco confiables se ha vuelto viral, y Alexios Mantzarlis, director de la Red Internacional de Fact-Checking en el Instituto Poynter.
Primero, conoce los diferentes tipos de engañosas y falsas noticias.
1. Noticias falsas
Estas son las más fáciles de desenmascarar y a menudo vienen de conocidos sitios ficticios diseñados con el fin de que parezcan como serios. Estos pueden incluir fotografías engañosas y titulares que, en una primera lectura, suenan que pudieran parecer reales.
2. Noticias engañosas
Estas son las más difíciles de desenmascarar porque a menudo contienen un núcleo de verdad: un hecho, evento o frase que ha sido puesta fuera de contexto. Busque titulares sensacionales que no están soportados por la información del artículo.
3. Noticias muy partidistas
Otro tipo de noticias engañosas, que podrían ser una interpretación de un evento noticioso real en el que los hechos son manipulados para cumplir un propósito.
4. Clickbait
Los titulares chocantes o burlescos de esas historias buscan que les des un click para más información, que puede (o no) llenar sus expectativas.
5. Sátira
Esta es dura, porque la sátira no pretende ser real y cumple un propósito de comentario o entretenimiento. Pero si no se es familiar con un sitio satírico, se puede compartir la noticia como si fuera verdadera.
Segundo, afine sus habilidades para el fact-checking
Alexios Mantzarlis entrena a fact-checkers como modo de vida. Él asegura que es importante tener una “saludable cantidad de escepticismo” y pensar, realmente pensar, antes de compartir un artículo noticioso.
“Si fuéramos un poquito lentos para compartir y retuitear contenidos puramente basados en titulares, estaríamos en un buen camino en pro de derrotar las falsedades”, le dijo a CNN.
Melissa Zimdars afirma que incluso aquellos que invierten un largo tiempo conectados online no son inmunes al contenido falso.
“La gente piensa que eso del razonar es para viejos”, le aseguró a CNN. “Creo que la educación temprana debería enseñar acerca de comunicación, medios e internet. Crecer con internet no necesariamente significa que usted sea experto”.
Para novatos, aquí van diez preguntas que deberías hacer si algo luce falso:
1. ¿La historia viene de una URL extraña?
Zimdars dice que sitios con extraños sufijos como “.co” o “.su” o aquellos que se hospedan en plataformas terciarias
como WordPress deberían ser una clara advertencia. Algunos sitios falsos, como National Report, suenan legítimos, cuando no con nombres generales que puedan engañar a la gente en redes sociales. Por ejemplo, varios reportes falsos de abcnews.com.co se han vuelto virales antes de ser desenmascarados, entre ellos un artículo de junio que sugería que el presidente Obama había firmado una ley en contra de la venta de armas de asalto.
Nota: vale la pena apuntar que “.co” también es el sufijo oficial para los sitios de internet de Colombia.
2. ¿El titular tiene relación con la información del artículo?
Mantzarlis dice que una de las principales razones por las que las noticias falsas se esparcen por Facebook es porque la gente se absorbe por los titulares y no se molestan en hacer click.
Esta semana, varias organizaciones de naturaleza dudosa hicieron circular una noticia sobre la consejera general de Pepsi, Indra Nooyi. “Las ACCIONES de Pepsi caen después de que la consejera general le dijera a los seguidores de Trump que “se lleven sus negocios a otra parte”. Como es usual, los artículos no contienen esa frase o evidencia de que la acción de Pepsi tuvieran una caída significante (no la tuvieron). Nooyi hizo comentarios sobre la elección de Trump, pero nunca fue citada diciéndole a sus seguidores que se llevaran “sus negocios a otra parte”.
3. ¿Es una historia reciente, o una vieja que ha sido vuelta a publicar?
Algunas noticias verdaderas pueden ser “resucitadas” años después de los hechos para crear una falsa mezcla de hechos. Mantzarlis recuerda una historia errónea que citaba una pieza legítima de CNNMoney.
Un blog llamado Viral Liberty reportó recientemente que Ford había movido la producción de algunos de sus camiones de México a Ohio por causa de la victoria de Donald Trump. La historia cobró rápidamente relevancia en la línea, ya que, después de todo, parecía una gran victoria para la industria automotriz estadounidense.
Resulta que Ford sí movió algunas de sus fábricas de México a Ohio, pero en el 2015. No tenía nada que ver con los resultados de las elecciones.
4. ¿Son verificables las fotos y los videos que acompañan al artículo?
Las fotos y los videos también pueden ser sacados de contexto para ser utilizados como base para una historia falsa. En abril, el sitio liberal Occupy Democrats puso un video que supuestamente mostraba a una mujer siendo sacada de un baño por la policía por no parecer suficientemente femenina.
Esto ocurrió en medio del clímax por la controversia de la “Ley del Baño” o HB2, y el artículo claramente relacionó ambos aspectos. “COMIENZA”, dice el titular.
Como es usual, no estaba la fecha del video o no había evidencia de que hubiera sido grabado en Carolina del Norte, donde la “Ley del Baño” estaba por ser aprobada.
De hecho, según Snopes, el mismo video fue publicado en una página de Facebook en el 2015, lo que quiere decir que es anterior a la polémica de la HB2.
5. ¿El artículo cita fuentes primarias?
No sólo las noticias políticas pueden ser falseadas. Now8News es uno de los más infames sitios de noticias falsas que parecen reales, especializado en ese tipo de historias raras que de vez en cuando se convierten en virales.
Uno de sus artículos asegura que Coca Cola mandó a recoger del mercado botellas de agua Dasani tras el hallazgo de un “parásito” en el líquido. Incluso lo acompaña con una gran fotografías que supuestamente mostraba el parásito, aunque una básica búsqueda en Google revela que se parece más a la imagen de una anguila joven.
Independientemente, el artículo no contenía pronunciamiento de compañía alguna. Claramente esta sería una gran historia. Dasani o cualquier cantidad de grupos de consumidores publicarían pronunciamientos o noticias acerca del asunto. ¿No es así? No hay nada de substancia porque la historia es totalmente falsa.
6. ¿Hay citas en la historia que puedan ser verificables?
Uno de los memes favoritos de grupos liberales en Facebook muestra una cita falsa de Donald Trump supuestamente tomada de una entrevista de la revista People en 1998:
“Si fuera a hacer campaña presidencial, lo haría como republicano. Ellos son el grupo de votantes más idiota en el país. Creen en cualquier cosa que les dice Fox News. Podría mentir y ellos se lo tragarían enteramente. Juro que mis números serían espectaculares”.
Esta afirmación es fácilmente refutable si uno se toma el tiempo para pensar en ello: People.com tiene enormes archivos, y esta cita no está en ninguno de ellos.
7. ¿Es la única página reportando la historia?
Durante esta temporada de elecciones, el Papa Francisco fue citado en tres super virales pero completamente falsos reportes. Según varios sitios (falsos) el pontífice apoyó a tres candidatos presidenciales estadounidenses: primero, a Bernie Sanders, tal como lo “reportaron” National Report y USAToday.com.co. Luego a Donald Trump, como fue dicho por WTOE 5 News. Finalmente, otro sitio de aquellos, KYPO6.com, aseguró que estaba con Hillary Clinton.
En todos estos ejemplos, los informes posteriores también resultaron ser falsos. Siempre es bueno seguir la historia hasta su fuente original, y si se encuentra en un bucle, o si todas las historias conducen hacia los mismos sitios dudosos, hay razón para dudar.
8. ¿Hay un sesgo metido por ahí?
Tanto Zimdars como Mantzarlis aseguran que la confirmación de sesgos is una gran razón para que las noticias falsas se propaguen de la forma en que lo hacen. Algo de ello se ve en el algoritmo de Facebook (entre más gustos o interacciones sobre un cierto interés, Facebook le mostrará más de ello).
De forma similar, si se odia a Donald Trump, se podrían pensar que las cosas negativas en su contra sean ciertas , aunque no haya evidencia de ello.
“Buscamos información que se adapte a nuestras creencias”, afirma Zimdars. “Si entramos en contacto con información con la que no estamos de acuerdo, esta circunstancia puede reafirmarnos la razón por la cual tendamos a encontrar aspectos negativos”.
Así que si encontramos un artículo escandaloso que parece “muy bueno para ser verdad”, sea precavido: podría serlo.
9. ¿Ha sido desenmascarada por una organización de fact-checking reputada?
¿Sabía que hay una Red de Internacional de Fact-Checking (que dirige Mantzarlis)? ¿Y que tiene un código de principios? El código incluye ideales de no partidismo y transparencia, entre otros. Sitios como FactCheck.org, Snopes y Politifact acatan este código. Si necesita desenmascarar algún sitio, ya sabe dónde encontrar a estos “guardianes de la verdad”. Vea la lista completa aquí.
10. ¿Está el host en alguna lista de sitios de noticias poco fiables?
Es aquí donde las cosas se vuelven difíciles. Obviamente hay una gran diferencia entre noticias “engañosas”, las cuales se basan usualmente en hechos, y noticias “falsas”, que son ficciones presentadas como realidad. La famosa lista de Zimdars tiene de ambos ejemplos, así también como sitios satíricos que capitalizan los titulares tipo clickbait. Snopes también tiene una lista así.
Aunque Zimdars está agradecida con el hecho de que su lista haya ganado mucha atención, también advierte que ignorar por completo a los sitios falsos “no es lo apropiado”. “Quiero asegurarme de que esa lista no le haga un flaco favor a la meta final”, asegura. “Es interesante que algunos de los titulares acerca de mi lista son tan exagerados como aquellos que analizo”.
Fauci getting criticized for saying ‘no doubt’ children 3 years and older should wear masks, a CNN anchor dismissing critical race theory as a creation of Republicans, and a Texas State Democrat getting mocked for calling himself a ‘fugitive’ after fleeing the state to block voting bills round out today’s top media headlines
Prominent teachers’ union president Randi Weingarten went hyperbolic with her condemnation of Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over a report that he was selling anti-Fauci campaign merchandise amid an apparent bump in coronavirus cases in his state.
The Washington Post ran a report on Tuesday with the headline, “DeSantis sells ‘Don’t Fauci My Florida’ merch as new coronavirus cases near highest in nation.”
In it, it detailed the T-shirts and drink koozies that Team DeSantis was selling mocking White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has become the face of the federal response to the pandemic, all while the Sunshine State suffers “some of the highest coronavirus hospitalizations, new infections and deaths per capita in the country.”
“New coronavirus infection numbers plummeted in Florida after vaccinations became widely available, but they have ticked up in recent weeks. The stateis reporting daily cases close to four times the national average—26 new infections per 100,000 residents, the second-highest number in the country. The state’s latest covid-19 death rate is almost double the national figure, and it ranks fourth for current hospitalizations,” the Post later detailed in the ninth paragraph of the report.
However, Weingarten reacted to the story by taking it to a whole new level.
“Disgusting. Millions of Floridians are going to die for Ron DeSantis’ ignorance and he’s choosing to profit from it. He doesn’t care about Floridians; he cares about furthering his own cruel agenda,” Weingarten tweeted.
The American Federation of Teachers leader caught the attention of many critics on Twitter, particularly for her claim that “millions” of Floridians will die under DeSantis.
“Hyperbole much?” The Week columnist Damon Linker asked.
“In education, we emphasize backing up claims with evidence. Please explain how you got to ‘millions’ or that his ignorance is responsible for them,” Red State senior editor Joe Cunningham told Weingarten.
“Millions! Randi hopefully taught neither math nor science,” Townhall.com political editor Guy Benson wrote.
“All of her tweets make perfect sense once you realize everything she says is an example of Freudian projection,” Washington Free Beacon contributor Noah Pollack tweeted.
“Florida has 21 million residents, so more than 10% are going to die from policies he enacted months ago? Are you sure you’re in…education?” The Daily Wire’s Emily Zanotti said.
Christina Pushaw, DeSantis’ press secretary shot back at Weingarten, touting the governor’s record during the pandemic.
“Florida’s COVID death rate is lower than the national average, and unlike the Governor of New York, we don’t fudge the numbers,” Pushaw wrote. “Meanwhile, Randi Weingarten ruined the education of millions of kids by keeping them out of school for more than a year based on a conspiracy theory.”

The White House is refusing to hand over documents and impeachment proceedings seem unlikely, so the Democrats are turning to hearings to bludgeon the president.
Democrats may not be able to saddle President Donald Trump with impeachment proceedings or pry documents from his administration, but they have another means of bludgeoning him: hearings, hearings and more hearings.
It’s a counter-strategy to the president’s all-out resistance to congressional investigations, lawmakers told POLITICO. Democrats say the optics are on their side. Witnesses like Attorney General William Barr, ex-White House counsel Don McGahn and special counsel Robert Mueller are all but guaranteed to draw blanket media attention. And even if the bold-faced names don’t show up, party leaders recognize that the spectacle of empty chairs and drawn-out legal fights could dog Trump and create negative narratives during the 2020 race.
Story Continued Below
“Let’s face it, most Americans are not going to read a 400-plus page report,” said Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson, a senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, referencing the special counsel’s report summarizing the nearly two-year Russia probe. “They would much rather see something on TV that they can make conclusions for themselves about. That’s the age we’re living in. It’s almost entertainment.”
Democrats say a spate of hearings will also highlight Trump’s efforts to stonewall their myriad probes. The president has resisted at least half a dozen subpoenas from House committees and launched an unprecedented series of federal lawsuits to invalidate some of the information requests.
The approach is almost as much political as it is tactical. It gives Democrats a chance to navigate around the thorny impeachment question, while still showcasing their majority and flexing their investigative chops. And they might even uncover some wrongdoing along the way just as the 2020 presidential race heats up.
“There’s a big sentiment amongst some that they should ‘Benghazi’ Trump,” said Julian Epstein, a former senior House Democratic aide, referring to how Republicans spent two years relentlessly holding hearings about the 2012 terrorist attack in Libya, a process that revealed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server. The unexpected discovery ultimately haunted Clinton’s own presidential campaign.
Epstein, who served as chief counsel for the House Judiciary Committee Democrats during the Bill Clinton impeachment fight, said a spate of hearings has two purposes: creating a political weapon to weaken the president going into 2020, and also satisfying a party base frustrated that the House hasn’t moved to impeach the president.
“Democrats are trying to figure out what their off-ramp is here,” he said.
One, he said, is the hearing-laden “Benghazi” approach. Another is a censure resolution that passes on the House floor, effectively serving as a formal wrist slap for Trump. “They don’t have a lot of good options,” Epstein noted.
Trump and his administration have been eager to play the political card, too.
White House officials have either refused to turn over documents or delayed producing them to 12 House committees, according to Democratic aides. Several administration officials have also ignored requests for interviews and testimony. Barr, for example, is resisting plans to appear Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee because Democrats want to allow the panel’s staff counsel to ask the attorney general an additional hour of questions about the Mueller investigation.
The president and his allies argue that Trump has the authority to fight the House Democrats because they were openly taunting him with plans to launch their investigations and discussing impeachment since well before last year’s midterm elections returned them to power.
“By the time you hear all that, you say, ‘What am I, a sucker? I’m gonna go in front of these people who want to hang me?” Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, told POLITICO. “This is a complete political game now. It’s even being calculated by them based on are they gonna get hurt or not by carrying it on.”
Still, Democrats continue to lay the groundwork for more high-profile hearings.
On the oversight panel, they issued a subpoena to a former White House official to testify about potential security clearance abuses. The gathering would shed a spotlight on allegations that staffers including Trump son-in-law and senior presidential adviser Jared Kushner were granted clearances after initially being denied.
Over at the Judiciary committee, Democrats are angling to hold what might be the most blockbuster hearing — Mueller himself. They’ve subpoenaed the Justice Department for Mueller’s full report, his underlying evidence and are in talks to get the special counsel to testify as early as next week. They’ve also authorized subpoenas for a slate of former top Trump aides, including Hope Hicks, Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon — all of whom would create spectacle hearings that resonate beyond the Beltway.
And one attention-grabbing hearing could be rescheduled in the coming weeks. Felix Sater, the chief negotiator for Trump’s failed election-year attempts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, had previously agreed to testify but his appearance was pushed off until after the Mueller report came out.
“We need to put some color around the Mueller report and really come to a conclusion in concert with the American people over what the proper response is,” said Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), a member of the Intelligence committee.
“And until people are more familiar with the details of what occurred, it’s hard to come to a unified notion,” Himes added. “Certainly, in my district and around the country, there’s ambivalence about the right mechanism of accountability for the president. Just as in the 1970s, we need to do more work and better understand what occurred.”
With the never-ending gush of news, each hearing could also come on the heels of new revelations, giving lawmakers a rare chance to publicly press the key players. For instance, just hours before Barr was set to testify before the Senate on Wednesday, it came out that Mueller had sent him a letter expressing frustration with the attorney general’s initial characterization of his report.
Within minutes, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), a presidential candidate who will question Mueller as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, had tweeted: “Barr will have to answer for this at our hearing. Updating my questions!”
The high-profile hearing formula has worked for Democrats in the past.
When Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, testified in February, it was appointment viewing. Trump fumed at the revelations from the public hearing, and Cohen’s appearance launched new avenues of investigation. Both House Democrats and New York authorities subpoenaed documents related to Trump’s financial records based on Cohen’s answers.
Some Democrats who have been in the oversight trenches argued that the strategy shouldn’t be viewed through a 2020 lens, though.
“Their responsibility is to be methodical and follow the facts,” said Phil Schiliro, the former Obama White House legislative director and a veteran House Democratic aide under then-Oversight Chairman Henry Waxman. “That’s not something that happens quickly.”
Even House Democrats are fretting about their limited time to notch victories as they square off against a Trump White House willing to push many oversight battles into the courts.
California Rep. Eric Swalwell, a 2020 White House hopeful who serves on both the judiciary and intelligence committees, said in an interview that it wouldn’t take much for Trump to “run out the clock” on Democratic document and testimony demands.
Others caution that Democrats might appear overzealous and even create sympathetic witnesses during a parade of highly publicized hearings.
“Do you really want to put Hope Hicks on TV? She’s going to win that,” said a Washington-based defense attorney who worked on the Mueller investigation.
Several Republicans say that Democrats would have more options for getting materials from Trump’s administration, and even underlying materials at the center of Mueller’s investigation, if they open up formal impeachment proceedings. So far, that’s a step that Democratic leadership has been reluctant to endorse.
“I don’t know frankly if it’s such a bad thing for Democrats to do that. Once you get these things and you explore it, who knows where it goes?” said Tom Davis, a former Virginia GOP congressman who chaired the House Oversight Committee.
William Moschella, who ran the Justice Department’s congressional affairs office during the George W. Bush administration, said the current Democratic clamor for documents and testimony “seems to be adding fuel to the impeachment fire” even as party leaders try to stay away from the topic.
“The Hill must know that these various unorthodox requests are going to be rebuffed and when they are, members are going to claim that those refusals are evidence of obstruction and that they must defend the institutional integrity of the House,” he said. “To mix metaphors, these things have a way of snowballing.”
Democrats counter that Trump’s run-out-the-clock strategy will damage his re-election chances.
Democrats expect they’ll ultimately prevail in court against Trump’s efforts to invalidate their subpoenas, including those seeking Trump’s financial information.
“If we get the information, he’s seen as violating the law or supporting a position that is contrary to the law, and we get the information anyway, that’s not a winning strategy for him,” said Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), a senior member of the oversight panel.
And it’s those same battles that Democrats say could still produce the kinds of smoking guns that go off right in the heat of the 2020 campaign.
“I don’t think it serves him to delay all this,” said Swalwell, “because if he knows his history, he will see that the courts are going to rule against him, and the courts take time to make their rulings and so the rulings could come out at a time when Americans are thinking about who they want to lead them.”

Sobre las 20 horas de este martes, el sub gerente general de Cutcsa, Álvaro Santiago, emitió un comunicado en la página de Facebook de la empresa confirmó que debido a un “problema técnico”, no fue posible obtener las imágenes que, según el anterior comunicado, corroboraban los hechos denunciados por la joven.
Cutcsa compartió este martes la carta enviada por el padre de una pasajera, quien agradeció a un chofer de la empresa por evitar un “posible caso de trata de blancas” con su hija como víctima.
Según indicaba el hombre, una señora le pidió a la joven que la ayudara con su celular y, si bien no llegó a tocar el aparato, comenzó a sentirse mareada, por lo que decidió pedirle ayuda al conductor del ómnibus.
El chofer le pidió que se sentara y no bajara del vehículo. En ese momento vio que la mujer y otro hombre se bajaban rápidamente del ómnibus. La joven se quedó en el vehículo, un 180 con destino a Plaza España, hasta que llegó a destino. Allí la esperaba su madre, quien la llevó a un centro de salud y posteriormente a elevar una denuncia a la Policía.
El padre argumentaba que ha oído casos de trata de personas en los que las jóvenes son secuestradas luego de drogarlas con una sustancia impregnada en el aparato.
Si bien el relato de los episodios es muy similar a otros usados para realizar estafas o atemorizar a la población a través de las redes, Cutcsa en su comunicado aseguraba que la situación había sido corroborada usando las cámaras de sus unidades y reportado a las autoridades correspondientes.
El departamento de Relaciones Públicas de Cutcsa confirmó a El País que las cuentas de redes sociales de la compañía no fueron hackeadas, y el comunicado fue publicado por el equipo de la empresa.
El padre de la joven dijo a El País que el hecho ocurrió en avenida 18 de julio y Carlos Roxlo, cerca de las 22:40 horas del domingo. La mujer mencionada cubría su rostro con una bufanda y una capucha, e iba acompañada por otro hombre, con la cara descubierta.
Según relató el hombre, su hija comenzó a sentirse mal y decidió caminar hacia el lugar del chofer, al que le dijo “creo que me drogaron”. En ese momento fue que los dos desconocidos se bajaron del vehículo.
El padre de la joven confirmó que fue contactado por personal policial de la seccional 3ª, desde donde le indicaron que ya estban en su poder las grabaciones de las cámaras de vigilancia del ómnibus.
En conversación con el país, la joven, de 21 años, dijo que fue examinada por una toxicóloga, quien le indicó que podía presentar restos de una “droga volátil” en su organismo, aunque aún no se conocen los resultados del estudio. También señaló que la mujer aparentaba tener unos 50 años y el hombre tendría entre 20 y 30 años.
Esta tarde, El Ministerio del Interior emitió un comunicado brindando detalles de la denuncia
Esta tarde, El Ministerio del Interior emitió un comunicado brindando detalles de la denuncia e indicando que, tal como confirmó Cutcsa en el último comunicado, al momento de solicitar las imágenes que corroboraban el hecho, desde la empresa dijeron que “por un problema técnico del DVR de la unidad de transporte en la que se dieron los hechos, no contaban con imágenes de los mismos, como habían informado anteriormente por las redes”.
Desde el ministerio señalaron también que no era cierto que Cutcsa estuviera colaborando con las autoridades.
Comunicado del Minsterio del Interior
El pasado sábado 11 de junio, una joven que viajaba en la línea 180 de la empresa CUTCSA, debió ser asistida por el personal del coche de transporte al sentirse mareada luego de intercambiar unas palabras con una pasajera que le exhibió un celular.
Advertida por denuncias -nunca confirmadas hasta hoy- que circularon por las redes sociales, no accedió al pedido de dicha pasajera de ayudarle con su teléfono celular al que tenía en modo seguro sin saber que hacer para operarlo; desconfiando del pedido ni siquiera tocó el aparato a pesar de tener guantes. Sin embargo, dijo sentirse afectada casi de inmediato con mareos, sequedad bucal y naúseas, pidiendo asistencia al personal del coche al que advirtió que creía haber sido víctima de una maniobra para drogarla.
Según su relato, intentó sin éxito hacer una llamada a su familia, dándose cuenta que no podía y se acercó al chofer para solicitar auxilio, quien le dijo que permaneciera en el coche hasta la terminal. Mientras tanto, la pasajera en cuestión y otro individuo se bajaron en 18 y Convención siguiendo la unidad hasta Plaza España, destino final del recorrido.
Una vez en destino, logra llamar a su novio con quien concurre a un centro asistencial para ser examinada. Posteriormente radicó denuncia en la Seccional 3ª sobre las 02:00 del día domingo.
En la tarde de este martes 14 de junio, la empresa CUTCSA difundió una nota hecha llegar por la familia de la víctima, agradeciendo el gesto del personal de la unidad y la asistencia brindada a la joven, destacando al final del mensaje que los hechos habían sido “corroborados” con la tecnología existente en los buses y que estaban “colaborando” con las autoridades para identificar a los responsables.
Sobre esto último hay que mencionar que desde el Ministerio del Interior nos comunicamos con autoridades de la empresa quienes manifestaron que por un problema técnico del DVR de la unidad de transporte en la que se dieron los hechos, no contaban con imágenes de los mismos, como habían informado anteriormente por las redes. Tampoco era correcto que se estuviera colaborando con las autoridades en la identificación de los responsables; CUTCSA emitirá un comunicado oficial aclarando estos extremos.
Las investigaciones están siendo dirigidas por el propio Jefe de Policía de Montevideo, Crio. Mayor (R) Ricardo Pérez, quien impartió directivas a todas las unidades policiales a su cargo para extremar la vigilancia y reportar de inmediato este tipo de situaciones hasta dar con los responsables, dando cuenta a la Dirección General de Represión al Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y a la Justicia competente de los hechos ocurridos.
“I predict to you, your children and grandchildren are going to be doing their doctoral theses on the issue of, ‘Who Succeeded: Autocracy or Democracy?’ Because that is what is at stake,” said the president, speaking of other nations.
