The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, launched a proposal for debate on a National Constituent Assembly in view of the obstacles he has encountered in Congress regarding the approval of his reforms.

This Saturday, March 16, the international media reviewed the proposal made by Petro on Friday the 15th in Cali, regarding the possibility of convening a National Constituent Assembly.

The idea, which the president published on his social network account, “has been criticized by politicians of all currents, including some who supported him in the 2022 presidential elections.”

Numerous national sectors have described the proposal as a “balloon of distraction” in the face of the decline in popularity and legislative support for Petro, who, according to former left-wing senator Jorge Robledo, is looking for a distraction, since “he does not have enough votes to approve it in Congress or to approve it among the citizens.”

As a sign of weakness and desperation, Robledo has described the president’s proposal, which has definitely not been well received by the different sectors of Colombian society.

Regarding the proposal, Senator Humberto de la Calle, member of the Centro Esperanza Coalition, described Petro’s argument as “weak” and added: “The reason that the president alleges for convening a constituent assembly is the impossibility of complying with the Constitution, according to his own saying (…) If it were true, it is not the Constitution that must be changed but the way of governing,” the congressman added in a statement.

De la Calle clarified that a Constituent Assembly requires the prior passage of a bill that must pass through Congress, where Petro does not have a majority. In addition, two calls to the population are required: first for them to say whether they want a constitutional reform and, if so, for them to approve any possible changes.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin announced his decision not to opt for re-election at the end of his current term in 2027, despite the recent amendment to the constitution approved by the UEFA Congress that would have allowed him to do so.

Ceferin made his determination public during a press conference following the Congress in Paris, revealing that he had made this resolution about six months ago and had shared it with his family and some friends.

The broad majority of Congress supported the amendment of the statutes of the European federation, which previously limited the maximum number of terms of office for the president to three.

Also, at the meeting held in Paris, the UEFA Congress approved the election of Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO of Atlético de Madrid, and Nasser Al-Khelaïfï, President of PSG, as members of the Executive Committee. Both will represent the European Club Association (ECA) for a term of four years.

Al-Khelaifi, who has been president of the ECA since April 2021, was already part of the Executive Board representing the clubs, while the German Karl-Heinze Rummenigge will step down to be replaced by Miguel Ángel Gil.

In addition, at the 48th UEFA Congress, the inclusion of Pedro Proença, president of the European Leagues, as a member of the Executive was confirmed. Proença was elected to this position on 30 November 2023.

This Thursday will begin the debate in the Chamber of Deputies of the omnibus law, the flagship project of the government of Javier Milei, which seeks a deep reform of the state with less state intervention. The ruling party achieved a majority opinion with the support of several opposition forces, albeit with partial dissent.

The omnibus law, which includes deregulation, modification and repeal of laws in various areas, generated controversy and rejection by some sectors, such as Peronism and the left. Milei’s goal is to achieve fiscal balance this year, but to do so it will have to face resistance on issues such as export duties and pensions.

The Chamber of Deputies will vote in the coming days on the omnibus law, the main project of the Milei government that seeks to reduce state intervention. In the last debate, a deputy from La Libertad Avanza defended the position of Milei, who has distanced himself from Congress: “Politics is not the solution, but the citizens. We want the State to let us work and enter into business.”

La Libertad Avanza, Milei’s far-right party, has only 38 deputies out of 257, but was backed by Juntos por el Cambio (center-right) and part of dissident Peronism. Patricia Bullrich and Luis Petri, former candidates of that coalition, are now part of Milei’s cabinet.

La entrada Omnibus Law to be debated in the Argentine Congress apareció primero en Bitfinance.

In a ceremony held at the Congress headquarters in Buenos Aires, the ultra-liberal Javier Milei was sworn in as president of Argentina on Sunday. Amidst cheers of “Argentina, Argentina!”, Milei and his new vice-president, Victoria Villarruel, proclaimed their loyalty to the Argentine state in the presence of their predecessors, Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner.

In his first act of protocol, Milei left a significant mark when he signed the book of honor of the Chamber of Deputies with the message: “Viva la libertad, carajo”.

Notably, Milei chose not to address the legislative chamber directly, delegating that task to vice-president Villarruel, who expressed words of thanks on behalf of the new president.

“This moment will last forever in our hearts, and I want to thank you for this gesture of joining us from other countries in the world and from the provinces,” said the vice president.

The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, expressed his concern that his ChatGPT system could cause “significant damage to the world” and believes that misuse of this technology, in the absence of a solid regulation that regulates it, could have catastrophic consequences.

This was expressed by the executive director of the company that creates tools such as Whisper and Dall-E2, who appeared before the Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and Law of the Committee on the Judiciary of the United States Senate to request this body to regulate the use of systems as its ‘chatbot’.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are criticized by authorities and users because malicious actors use them to carry out phishing campaigns or spread hate messages, among other harmful and criminal activities.

Due to the concern generated by the misuse of this technology, the executive director of the company appeared before the upper house of the US Congress to express his willingness to work with legislators and institutions in order to address the risks presented by this ‘chatbot’.

“We believe it is essential to develop regulations that incentivize the safety of AI while ensuring that people can access the many benefits of the technology,” Altman said.

The president of Ecuador, Guillermo Lasso, announced the application of a measure called “cross death”. This action implies the dissolution of Congress and the calling of general elections to renew all positions, including the Presidency of the Republic.

During a message addressed to the nation, Lasso highlighted the need for a new political and social pact to overcome the serious political crisis that Ecuador is currently facing, a situation that unfortunately worsens every day.

The president accused the National Assembly, which is mostly made up of the opposition, of “destabilizing” his government during the two years of his administration, including the current impeachment process against him.

Lasso affirmed that this constant obstruction has generated a deep political crisis and an internal disturbance, which is reflected in the little trust that Ecuadorian society places in the National Assembly. Therefore, with the objective of providing a constitutional solution to Ecuador, the president has decided to exercise the power granted by article 148 of the Constitution of the Republic to dissolve the National Assembly.

Consequently, Lasso has requested the National Electoral Council to immediately call legislative and presidential elections, with the purpose of completing the rest of the term of office.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 148 of the Ecuadorian Constitution, “the President of the Republic may dissolve the National Assembly when, in his opinion, it has assumed functions that do not correspond to it constitutionally, after a favorable ruling from the Constitutional Court; or when he repeatedly and unjustifiably hinders the execution of the National Development Plan, or in the event of a serious political crisis and internal commotion. This power may be exercised only once during the first three years of his mandate.”

Dina Boluarte was sworn in as the new president of Peru, thus becoming the first in the country’s history, since as vice president, as established by the Constitution, she had to assume office after the dismissal of Pedro Castillo by Congress .

“I swear by God, by the country and by all Peruvians that I will faithfully exercise the position of President of the Republic, which I assume in accordance with the Constitution, from now until July 26, 2026“, he said after receiving the presidential sash. from the hands of the president of Congress, José Williams Zapata.

In her first speech before Congress as president, Boluarte called “for the unity of all Peruvians“, earning applause from the chamber. “It is up to us to talk, dialogue, reach an agreement, something as simple as it is so impractical in recent months.”

“I call for a broad process of dialogue between all the political forces represented or not in Congress”, said Boluarte, who called for a “political truce to install a government of national unity” and “the support of the Prosecutor’s Office to enter the structured corrupted by the mafias”.

Although in recent months Boluarte came to state that if Castillo were dismissed by Congress, she would go with him, the latest actions of the former president have made her change her mind and from the first moment she was blunt against what he has defined as “a coup d’état”.

The CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, demanded from the United States Congress a federal law that protects the privacy of users, sure that the company he runs is ready to comply.

Cook again appealed to the defense of privacy. A concept he refers to as a “fundamental human right” in a letter to Congress.

Apple’s CEO believes Americans are “closer than ever” to “meaningful” privacy protection. A milestone that he defends as possible thanks to the parallel work of Congress and the country’s president, Joe Biden.

Given this context, the CEO of the technology urges “strongly” to promote privacy legislation “as soon as possible”. In addition, he offers the support of Apple throughout the process.

The intervention of Congress is necessary for Cook, since for him only this body can guarantee the necessary protection measures to cover “all Americans” with a legal umbrella.

Apple’s CEO laments that the “continued absence” of this legislation “will perpetuate a fragmented approach” to the right to privacy. In turn, this leaves many people without the protection provided by the standards that the imposition of a regulation would entail.

The letter comes shortly after a bill called the “American Data Privacy Protection Act” was announced. This suggestion, prepared by Democrats and Republicans, proposes to limit the types of personal data that companies can collect and what use they can make of it.

Joe Biden, President of the United States, presented what could be the budget for the fiscal year 2023, where among other things a tax for the rich, and greater spending on defense are included.

In its 277-page proposal, the White House requests that Congress approve a budget of 5.79 billion dollars, compared to 5.85 billion in 2022. In total, the US government wants to allocate 813,000 million dollars to Defense , which represents an increase of 4 percent compared to fiscal year 2022, of which 31,000 million dollars would be for new spending.

The budget calls for a new “minimum billionaire tax“, which not only includes billionaires, but applies to anyone whose fortune exceeds $ 100 million, ensuring that the wealthiest 0.01 % of households pay at least “20 % of their total income in federal income taxes.”

The director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, Shalala Young, also stressed that the proposal shows that the US “is on track to reduce its deficit by more than 1.3 trillion dollars this year”.

Biden acknowledged that “some people don’t like the surge, but we’re in a different world today. America is more prosperous, more successful, and more just when it’s safer.”
