🔴ALERTA| "Banaliza el abuso sexual contra niños": Defensoría de la Niñez confirma evaluación de acciones por vídeo de miembros de La Cofradía

Municipios como Las Condes dejarán de recaudar $13.000 millones ya que sus vecinos no pagarán contribuciones. Pero el Estado decide compensar en un 100% esos recursos vía presupuesto general de la nación.
Es decir, vecinos de Maipú y el resto de Chile, con sus impuestos, deberán financiar los presupuestos estratosféricos de comunas de mayores ingresos. Se agrandan aún más las enormes desigualdades que existen, con un financiamiento sumamente regresivo.
Quienes viven en carencia y deben aceptar que sus municipios no tengan recursos para atender lo básico, deberán financiar con sus impuestos los servicios de lujo de quienes más tienen. Decían que querían defender a la clase media, pero hicieron todo lo contrario. Chile se vuelve un país aún más desigual. Decepcionante.

En 3 días:
- Decidieron no contener el precio del petróleo, permitiendo la mayor alza en 40 años.
- Llamaron a retiro a una de las funcionarias policiales más destacadas del país.
- Renunciaron a que Chile encabece Naciones Unidas.
- Para no asumir sus responsabilidades, declararon en quiebra al Estado chileno contra opinión de expertos e inversionistas.
Si antes no había emergencia, la crearon.

Today, we are publishing our World Inequality Report, which reviews the most recent #inequalitydata and exposes the scale of #inequality over time and across space.
The third edition of the report, prefaced by @JosephEStiglitz & @Jayati1609 comes at a challenging political time, but it is more essential than ever. Only by continuing the historic movement toward equality will we be able to address the social and climate challenges of the coming decades.

Comparto la carta de mi madre Cecilia Bottai publicada hoy en el diario La Segunda. En ella, mi madre valientemente enfrenta a Kaiser @Jou_Kaiser por su propuesta de liberar a los peores criminales de la historia de Chile, incluido Krassnoff.

Just when it seems there are no words left to describe the living hell in Gaza, a new one has been added: “famine”.
This is not a mystery — it is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment and a failure of humanity itself. Famine is not only about food; it is the deliberate collapse of the systems needed for human survival. People are starving. Children are dying. And those with the duty to act are failing. As the occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law — including the duty of ensuring food and medical supplies of the population. We cannot allow this situation to continue with impunity.
No more excuses. The time for action is not tomorrow — it is now. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages and full, unfettered humanitarian access.

An average of 28 children have been killed each day since the start of the war in Gaza – the equivalent of an entire classroom, every day for 21 months.
"These children are not combatants,” says @unicefchief. "They suffer greatly and they wonder why the world has failed them."

We must stop this genocide, whose short-term goal is completing the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, while also profiteering from the killing machine devised to perform it.
No one is safe until everyone is safe.
US & Israeli genocide authorities hired the @BCG to forecast how many genocide survivors in Gaza would accept $9,000 to leave Gaza in what it called "relocation packages."

There is no shortage of evidence of Israel's killing frenzy. Where there is a desperate shortage is in the West's reserves of basic ethics - as evidenced from its nonchalance in the face of an Israel keen to advertise its genocidal prowess nytimes.com/2025/04/04/world…

Austerity tore apart our safety net, and the most vulnerable are still falling through it. If Starmer’s new government is serious about its “laser focus” on poverty, it must start by rebuilding our broken safety net. WBG's @ignaciapinto for @openDemocracy opendemocracy.net/en/two-chi…

Gracias al Programa de Acceso a la Educación Superior (PACE) podemos apoyar a jóvenes que cursan su enseñanza media en establecimientos públicos. Es una iniciativa que pone semillas de justicia y futuro en el ámbito educativo, y en especial en la educación superior.
