The #BRICS leaders attended an informal dinner party.
Russia is holding a BRICS meeting with surprise visitors El Sisi of #Egypt and so called president of #Palestine Mohamed Abbas. Even #Turkey and #NorthKorea have sent delegates to the meeting and several African nations have also shown interest in joining the system. It is unclear if they announce any new members after this meeting, but it sure going to have a major impact on #dedolirization of the world economy.
The criminal reaction of Europe and US to freeze and confiscate assets of Russian citizens, not just state funds have woken up the world that they can't trust the west following their own rules and relying on them is nothing but a false feeling of safety.
One can cruise the origin of those frozen assets, but they are not much different than most of the wealth of criminal leaders of various countries who live a safe and protected life in #Europe and #US.
US have the "god given right" to support military coupein south and central ameriy, but elections are only okay if they pick CIA paid candidates

While feral domesticated cats are a big problem in a lot of places (including NYC) and need vigorous #TNVR / #TNR or relocation, #WildFelines need to be protected!In #Brazil, #conservationists try to save one of the world’s most #endangered #cats

"- #Muñoa’s #Pampas cat, a small wild feline, is endemic to the Pampas grasslands that sprawl over southern Brazil, #Uruguay and northeastern #Argentina.
"- With fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild, experts call Muñoa’s pampas cat one of the most endangered felines in the world and warn it go extinct within 10 years as its natural habitat is cleared for #cropland.
- #Conservation plans to save the species include switching from #monocultures to extensive ranching that preserves the natural #grasslands, creating a #captivebreeding program, and developing a trinational conservation agreement.
"- Recent #floods in the Brazilian state of #RioGrandeDoSul, where many Muñoa’s Pampas cat sightings have been recorded, have currently halted all local #conservation efforts, putting the future of this feline at risk."

Fascist duo working together to create a extreme right wave in south America.
Javier Milei and Elon Musk met at the #Tesla plant in Austin, Texas, to reaffirm the personal and ideological harmony they displayed in their successive contacts on the 𝕏 social network (formerly #Twitter).
⚡️ The meeting showcased the similarities between the president and the powerful businessman regarding the importance of market freedom, the progress of countries, the need to eliminate bureaucratic obstacles, the development of technology, and the necessity of preserving the rules of the game.

(from extreme right telegram channel) The #Argentine Armed Forces have launched Operation Griffon XVII in South Atlantic waters to strengthen their fight against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, while hundreds of fishing vessels, mainly Chinese-flagged, prey on the region’s fish stocks
➡️Griffon XVII is under the authority of the Joint Maritime Command (COCM), which through the Argentine Navy, in collaboration with the Argentine Naval Prefecture (PNA), monitors maritime traffic in the southern Atlantic.
➡️Defense Minister Luis Petri told the press on the day of the start of Griffon XVII that there are between 450 and 500 vessels, mostly Chinese, coming from the Pacific, passing through the Strait of Magellan and positioning themselves at mile 201, just outside the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
➡️The Chinese boats operating in Latin America are mostly fishing trawlers, which specialize in squid fishing and intentionally disable their Automatic Identification System (AIS) devices, a practice frequently used to avoid detection in areas where IUU fishing takes place.
⚠️ According to Washington, D.C.-based think tank the Stimson Center, China and its state-owned enterprises have the world’s largest distant water fishing fleet, with nearly 3,000 vessels. That fleet is three times larger than the fleets of #Taiwan, #Japan, #SouthKorea, and Spain combined.
“There must be coordination between the different nations adding efforts and capabilities and exchanging information against illegal fishing. China subjugates the sovereignty of Latin America in a cleary imperialist attitude, in a world where it is considered that 93 percent of the fishing reserves are already exploited to the limit.”

#Argentina's fascist president Milei decides to close more than 50 public centers due to low productivity: "they have become political shelters"
➡️ The government of Argentina has decided to close 59 public centers that provided assistance in social services, resulting in the dismissal of 600 employees. The Ministry of Human Capital released a statement indicating that the reference centers to be closed were linked to the former Ministry of Social Development.
➡️ President Javier #Milei's government stated that these sectors function as "political boxes and shelters" for workers who are paid without providing services, and mentioned that their closure will save 5 billion pesos per year for public finances.
💬 Authorities stated that these locations "receive few consultations per day, in most cases do not resolve procedures, and only refer people to another agency" and "are the clearest image of state bureaucracy."

Impeachment request against Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) reaches 129 signatures and sets a historical record.
‼️ This number surpasses the one registered in the impeachment request of former President Dilma Rousseff, which had 124 signatories in 2016. At the end of the process, the former president had her mandate revoked.
➡️ The crisis in Lula's government began after the president compared Israel's offensive in the #Gaza Strip to the Holocaust. He made the statement on Sunday, the 18th, during a press conference in #Ethiopia.
💬 According to lawmakers, the president's statement constitutes a crime of responsibility, in accordance with Article 5 of Law 1.079/1950, which establishes the following:
Argentines to Go on General #Strike Against Milei's Reforms
Among other things, the far-right President intends to govern by granting himself legislative powers for 4 years.
On Thursday, the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), #Argentina's largest labor union, called for a general strike and a march to the Congress on January 24th to protest against the decree of urgent necessity and a bill that grants "superpowers" to the far-right president Javier #Milei to govern discretionally for two years.
#Orbán and #Milei aim to fight together "against international left"
#Hungary's Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, and #Argentina's President-elect, Javier Milei, discussed political cooperation to "make the fight against international left more effective." The statement was made by Orbán's press chief, Bertalan Havasi, to the Hungarian news agency "MTI."
In addition to the meeting with Milei, Orbán held discussions in Buenos Aires with other prominent political figures, including Santiago Abascal, the president of the Spanish party Vox, and former Brazilian President Jair #Bolsonaro.
Orbán's presence at these events underscores his active role in international politics, particularly considering that he was the only leader of the European Union (EU) to attend Bolsonaro's inauguration in January 2019.

From right wing South American telegram channel: A former U.S. diplomat who served as the ambassador to Bolivia has been arrested in a lengthy FBI counterintelligence investigation, accused of secretly serving as an agent of the Cuban government.
📌 Manuel Rocha, 73, was arrested in Miami on a criminal complaint, and more details about the case are expected to be made public in a court appearance.
⚠️ An informant said that the Department of Justice's case accuses Rocha of working to promote the interests of the Cuban regime. Federal law requires individuals working for a foreign government or entity within the United States to register with the Department of Justice, which in recent years has intensified criminal enforcement against illicit foreign lobbying groups.
📝 Rocha's 25-year diplomatic career unfolded under both Democratic and Republican administrations, much of it in Latin America during the Cold War, a period of sometimes tough U.S. policies and military interventions. His diplomatic posts included a stint at the U.S. Interests Section in Cuba at a time when the United States lacked full diplomatic relations with Fidel Castro's communist government.
🇧🇴 In his subsequent role as ambassador to Bolivia, he directly intervened in the 2002 presidential race, warning weeks before the vote that the United States would cut aid to the poor South American country if it elected former coca grower Evo Morales.
🌐 Rocha also served in Italy, Honduras, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic, and worked as a Latin America expert for the National Security Council.

What a shocker : The new president of #Argentina, Javier @Milei, who during the election campaign promised to eliminate the country's central bank and replace the national currency with the dollar, is gradually abandoning his ideas. This is reported by the Financial Times.
The source said that Milei planned to appoint economist Emilio Ocampo, a supporter of dollarization, as the new head of the Central Bank, but after his victory he changed his position on economic issues and stopped considering his candidacy.
The world has a new Berlusconi/Trump/Zelensky like lunatic leader.
The disaster #capitalism candidate who is a strong supporter of Israel and extreme anti communist/Socialist who promised to connect Argentina's currency with US$ and fight against #BRICS spreading in #SouthAmerica.
His landslide election is a shock for not only people in Argentina, but also the rest of south and central America.
Question is, can he achieve anything other than empty promises to put an end to the out of control inflation and disastrous situation in #Argentina?
