The case of Jair Bolsonaro, former Brazilian president, is in the spotlight after the Supreme Federal Court found him guilty of attempted coup d’état in 2022, with a sentence of 27 years and three months in prison.

Bolsonaro’s defense could appeal the decision, arguing that the sentence was excessive. Therefore, they are considering appealing to international courts.

Defense attorneys Celso Vilardi and Paulo da Cunha Bueno stated that “the ruling of the First Chamber of the Supreme Federal Court is unacceptable,” adding: “The former president’s defense (…) respects the decision (…). However, it cannot fail to express its profound disagreement and indignation with the terms of the majority decision.”

Bolsonaro is currently under house arrest. The former president’s age and the various surgeries he has undergone would be mitigating factors for the defense to request that he continue under this condition.

In recent years, we have seen how digital art has generated both interest and skepticism, and precisely the latter has occurred due to the absolute ignorance that exists about this not-so-new way of creating new languages and artistic works.

Due to its intrinsic relationship with non-fungible tokens (NFT) and, by extension, with the blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the true meaning of digital art can be confused, which goes beyond the new asset exchange systems in the virtual realm.

Therefore, it is convenient to first determine what digital art is. This is the one created by digital tools, that is, with a computer or with a digital camera. In this way, digital art could be considered a JPG image, a video, a GIF or a sculpture made with augmented reality (AR) technology.

It should be noted that this type of art “is not new or unknown, a market has simply emerged where it can be sold, something that was very complex before,” acknowledges the artist and pioneer in crypto art in Spain, Javier Arrés.

The artist insists that “not all NFTs are art, but all crypto art is NFTs.” In this sense, he clarifies that what these acronyms really mean is that said digital file has been tokenized, that is, that a contract has been associated with it in a blockchain network.

When this occurs, said asset becomes unique, “it gives it authenticity and marks that file as the original, which is surely the most important thing in the art and collecting market”, adds Arrés, who ensures that “the connection between the crypto world and NFTs is smaller than people think.”

In this sense, it should be emphasized that digital art is not new, but that it was already abundant before the explosion of crypto art. “We had been doing it for many years. The brutal difference is that, the one who made it digital, could not later sell that work as unique. He sold its use, but not the original,” says Arrés, who points out that the concept of uniqueness lies in the “true NFT revolution.”

The company dedicated to cybersecurity Check Point Software Technologies warned about the security difficulties that companies face, and also the increase in cyberattacks that has occurred this year, rising 28 % during the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

As analyzed by the company, a provider of cybersecurity solutions for companies and governments globally, the average number of weekly attacks per organization worldwide exceeded 1,130 attacks.

The trend of cyberattacks has been consolidated in recent years, which has made companies aware of the importance of having a good cybersecurity system that avoids any type of risk, as stated by the company in a press release.

One of the difficulties has been the increase in ransomware. In the month of July, the global weekly average of organizations impacted by this type of virus was one in 40 companies. In fact, there has been an increase of 59% year-on-year.

Among these affected companies, the education and research sectors have been the most attacked, with an average of more than 2,300 attacks per organization each week, that is, an increase of 53% compared to the second quarter of 2021.

The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) warned that the Latin American region is facing a “serious social crisis” and that poverty levels by 2022 will be 32.1 % of the population. total, a figure higher than that recorded before the pandemic, in 2019.

At the presentation of the annual report “Social Panorama 2022”, ECLAC’s executive secretary, José Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, said that the economic situation is “extraordinarily harsh” due to the succession of several crises, which is causing a negative impact at the that “urgently” address. “You have to avoid the very real risk of having a lost generation in Latin America.”

Regarding the figures, Salazar highlighted that 201 million people are estimated to be at risk of poverty in 2022, which represents more than a third of the population of Latin America. “It is extremely worrying,” adding that people at risk of extreme poverty rise to 13.1 %, which is equivalent to a total of 82 million people. According to ECLAC, this data has not been seen in 25 years and represents “a setback” for the region.

These figures imply that an additional 15 million people will be in poverty compared to the pre-pandemic situation and that the number of people in extreme poverty will be 12 million higher than that recorded in 2019.

In addition, as in previous years, ECLAC explained that the incidence of poverty is higher in some population groups in the region: more than 45 % of the child and adolescent population lives in poverty and the poverty rate of women aged 20 to 59 is higher than that of men in all countries. Similarly, poverty is considerably higher in the indigenous or Afro-descendant population.

Among the reasons for this increase in poverty, ECLAC highlighted the slowdown in economic growth, the dynamics of the labor market and inflation. If we don’t act now, the agency has warned that there is the possibility of a long-term “social scar effect” that is very worrying.

Beyond the game – Just one day after the great world soccer meeting took place, Qatar prohibited the sale of alcohol in “the perimeter of the stadiums” after an alleged agreement between the Qatari authorities and FIFA.

Now the beer jars and cans can only be found in the “Fan Fest” area and in authorized places for the sale of alcohol.

Qatar is a country in the Middle East where alcohol consumption is prohibited according to the official religion: Islam. You cannot consume alcoholic beverages in public places, you cannot cause discomfort to another person while under the influence of alcohol, nor can you transport this type of beverage on public roads, nor import them.

However, there are some exceptions. Only foreign residents with one type of permit can get drinks for domestic consumption, and where do they get it? In the only liquor store in the country or in some international hotels, restaurants and clubs and its price is high.

Buyers must have with them when buying a letter of authorization from the company in which they work and from there they can buy a beer, but only one according to their salary.

In Qatar, a beer can cost more than $12, a punishment can lead to a sentence of at least 6 months and a fine exceeds $800.

This is not the only ban that characterizes the country in the midst of the Soccer World Cup.

Qatar also rejects public displays of affection because “they are frowned upon” and “that applies to everyone” because the country is “modest” and “must be respected” according to Nasser al Khater, the president of the tournament’s organizing committee.

Let us also remember that one of the first controversies that became known was that during the World Cup, sexual relations between people who are not married would be prohibited. In case of failure to comply with this rule, the sentence reaches about 7 years.

Photographing a Muslim woman is considered offensive, and photos of government buildings are prohibited.

Clothing has been another concern

In a country where women must wear a headscarf known as an abaya, officials expect World Cup visitors to conceal their shoulders and knees when in museums or government buildings.

Those who do not comply with this rule will not be imprisoned, however, it is part of the recommendations of the organizing committee.

Knowing this, it is inevitable to wonder why FIFA decided to hold a tournament of this magnitude in a country like Qatar where there will now be a major culture shock.

There is talk of cases of corruption related to the choice of Qatar as the venue for the 2022 World Cup, but regardless of that, the debate has been opened on how FIFA, whose founding countries belong to the continent with the greatest freedoms or is considered one of the most open on certain issues, gave his go-ahead to hold the World Cup in Qatar.

France, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands (Netherlands), Spain, and Switzerland are the founding countries of this body and Switzerland, for example, where the current FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, was born, is a country where abortion is allowed for 20 years and is where the headquarters of the UN Human Rights Council is located.

By way of comparison, the Netherlands is the only country in the European Union where the sale of marijuana is legally allowed in some licensed premises, and it was the first country to legalize equal marriage and Europe is the continent where the most laws have been legislated in favor of it. of these unions. In France, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and Switzerland, same-sex marriage is also legal.

At this point, it is not a question of allowing excesses, but of the fact that for this type of event, in addition to the logical competition, the people who enjoy a soccer World Cup celebrate a cultural exchange between nations.

Beyond the alleged cases of corruption and Qatar’s promise to comply with hospitality agreements, it is feared that the word of the authorities of the Arab country is not a true endorsement of agreements established with FIFA.

We’ll see what happens after the ball is kicked for the first time.

They are serious matters that undoubtedly call for attention and reflection beyond the game.
