BRICS Pay will be a digital platform that would allow consumers and businesses in partner countries to make payments and transfer funds across borders with ease – precisely what we do now with SWIFT, except that they would not do so under Western domination. More than 50 countries have already expressed interest in joining this initiative ahead of the 2024 BRICS summit.

There is a virtually unanimous perception of a worsening of the major international dilemmas, whether we are referring to issues of peace or development, manifesting itself in open discontent with the different yardsticks applied to certain conflicts and the persistence in preserving an exclusive hegemony that does not take into sufficient consideration the changes that have occurred in recent decades in the international economy and society.

It must be said loud and clear. The so-called left, in general and to very different degrees, seems to be increasingly falling into the trap set by rampant capitalism on a planetary level. It plays on its field and by its rules, those imposed by capitalism itself. And so, it is impossible to win. And it does so with a referee bought in that great stadium with little lights that they have built called “Democracy” through a parliamentary system based on the delegation of votes, on “behave yourself and stay at home” and “don’t bother me again for four years” when you can vote again so that everything remains practically the same.

Under the pretext of ensuring the independence of the judiciary, impunity and arbitrariness are being encouraged. The independence of judges is only the means to achieve impartiality. The latter is the principle that must govern the actions of the judiciary, something that is often forgotten and is not required of judges who show their preferences for the most powerful. A caste that necessarily comes from a wealthy middle class, in many cases children and grandchildren of other judges, cannot be democratic.

Milei, who had promised during his campaign that the adjustment would be paid for by the caste, or the most privileged sectors, has done nothing but attack the most disadvantaged, including retirees and millions of people who have been living in vulnerable situations for decades.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said this week in a statement that its American counterpart, USADA, has allowed doping among the athletes it supervises for years. Its management team has also admitted that it was aware of these events since 2021.
The North American organization justified its actions before WADA by assuring that it was going to use the cheating athletes to obtain incriminating evidence against the rest of the people involved in these acts.

Following the election in Venezuela on July 28, you will have seen, heard and read many comments in the media of this type: “The Venezuelan government has committed fraud because it has not shown the voting records”, “The opposition has shown records that show that it won the elections”, “The government and the army are repressing the opposition who demonstrate against electoral fraud”, “Maduro did not allow representatives of the EU to enter as electoral observers”, “The left-wing governments of Latin America are demanding that Maduro present the electoral records”.

Andrea Amarante (42), Pamela Cobas (52), Roxana Figueroa (52) and Sofía Castro (49), shared a room in the Barracas neighborhood (Buenos Aires), until May 5 when they were victims of lesbicide. Pamela and her partner, Roxana, were sleeping in a double bed when they woke up engulfed in flames and tried to leave the room, but were pushed inside by Justo Fernando Barrientos.
Barrientos lived in an adjoining room and at midnight that day he opened the door to the room where the women lived, threw a homemade explosive at them and started the fire. Pamela, Mercedes and Andrea died as a result of the fire.

By now we all know the results of the elections to the European Parliament and we have drawn the main conclusions: victory for the right, leap for the extreme right, maintenance of social democracy and failure of the left and the greens. With slight variations, this panorama is the most generalized in the different European countries.
However, there is a phenomenon in these elections that is being analyzed little and that deserves to be studied because it may be perfectly viable to be carried out in many countries. This is the German party Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance for Reason and Justice (BSW), a party that was founded five months ago as a split from the left (Die Linke) and has surpassed them by more than double the votes.

The triumph of Claudia Sheinbaum in the presidential elections in Mexico marks a watershed in the country's history, strengthens the Latin American left and opposes the advances that the extreme right has had in the region in recent years.

Everything you read, write, speak, record, photograph, or communicate on a computing device will surely end up in the hands of a U.S. law enforcement agency or its accomplices. The same will happen with your own data, that of your loved ones and your recipients, with information about everything you own, use, buy, rent, consume, borrow, throw away or want. Everything will be recorded and preserved even after you have forgotten it or die, for the exclusive use of surveillance agencies or monopolies.
