[00:00:00] in November, but we confirmed it in the last [00:00:04] electoral process when Mr. Noboa asked four [00:00:08] questions that we all said he [00:00:11] would win, we all said he [00:00:14] representation bodies of the would win, however, he lost in all four with 70% against. [00:00:18] None of the political [00:00:21] forces, no political force promoted that [00:00:24] campaign for the "no," it was a spontaneous campaign by the [00:00:28] place housing and the cost of people. People on their social media, in their closest [00:00:32] circles, launched a campaign [00:00:35] against Noboa and he lost with more than 70% in that [00:00:39] popular consultation in the four questions. Therefore, there is already a [00:00:43] real demonstration that [00:00:46] services placed it above the common people, the people on the street are fed up with Mr. Noboa's [00:00:50] lies, they are fed up with authoritarianism, [00:00:54] they are fed up with [00:00:55] 52.9%, abuses and they are [00:00:56] increase in gasoline fed up with the poverty into which he has [00:00:58] plunged us. And with his personal [00:01:01] enrichment, the assets declared [00:01:05] by Mr. Noboa, which he does every year before the Comptroller's Office, [00:01:08] have shown that his [00:01:12] assets increased by [00:01:15] 460% in one year, and [00:01:19] he goes around in Bentleys and he goes around in a Rolls-Royce [00:01:22] car, in a country that is dying of hunger and is dying of murder and [00:01:26] is dying of illness. So, everything he [00:01:30] does becomes [00:01:32] weakened to 48 in With these results, the accumulated growth of an insult to the suffering people in this [00:01:35] country. [00:01:38] If we could measure it in this electoral process, it would be great, if [00:01:42] they hadn't done everything they have done to cut back participation [00:01:45] rights, the possibility of participation, [00:01:48] political rights, electoral rights in this [00:01:52] country, the Citizen Revolution would win in everything, in [00:01:56] everything, absolutely everything, but since it has prevented, it has put all [00:02:00] imaginable impediments, [00:02:02] all, all imaginable impediments and will continue [00:02:06] to put them, they are already trying to put an impediment to Pabel Muñoz, [00:02:09] candidate for mayor of Quito and winner, they will put an [00:02:13] impediment to Fiorella Aicasa, candidate for mayor of [00:02:16] Guayaquil and winner, [00:02:19] despite all that, despite everything, I [00:02:23] think people are fed up, [00:02:25] dissatisfied and waiting [00:02:28] for some solution. speak in the immediate [00:02:31] future, Felipe Vega, thank you very much for [00:02:35] being with us, a big hug, [00:03:13] sectors, also threaten [00:03:52] the use of robots to Hello everyone, welcome, we are [00:03:54] maintain traffic order at starting another week and another [00:03:57] broadcast of "Economic Impact" through this channel, Telesur. My [00:04:02] workers in performing name is Daniel Rosas, we are going to start, as every day, with the headlines of this [00:04:04] broadcast. [00:04:10] In our world today, the high cost of living in [00:04:14] Argentina continues to deepen. [00:04:20] In our analysis space, we will present a radiography of the US [00:04:23] economy on the eve of the midterm [00:04:25] elections. [00:04:31] And in our digital tour, a new cyberattack causes [00:04:35] millions in losses in dozens of supermarkets in Belgium and [00:04:38] Sweden after raising the temperature of their refrigerators. Let's begin. [00:04:55] We begin our world today in Argentina, where inflation in the month [00:04:58] of September closed near 2% and [00:05:02] new increases in product prices have been registered in recent weeks. According [00:05:05] to official data, pre-paid medical companies raised [00:05:09] the fees of their health plans by up to 2.88%. [00:05:13] Meanwhile, private schools with state support increased their fees by up to [00:05:16] 3% in November. In the transportation sector, the fares [00:05:20] for the pre-metro and urban buses in the capital and the province of [00:05:23] Buenos Aires increased by 3.9%. Regarding [00:05:26] rental contracts, this November, [00:05:29] according to the index and the agreed periodicity, it is estimated that the quarterly [00:05:32] increase will escalate to 5.81%, the [00:05:35] four-month increase to [00:05:38] 7.82% and the six-month increase, listen, [00:05:41] 12.90%. 5%, while telephone, [00:05:44] electricity and gas tariffs also registered increases that affect [00:05:48] most Argentines. Given this panorama, experts do not rule out [00:05:52] that inflation will continue to increase after the [00:05:55] new tariff hike in basic public [00:05:58] the inflationary rate of 1.9% in [00:06:01] September. [00:06:09] We now travel to Mexico, where the National Institute of Statistics and Geography [00:06:13] (INEGI) reported an annual increase of 3.2% in productive [00:06:16] activity during the third quarter of 2026, an indicator [00:06:20] that raises the outlook on the pace of the Mexican economy in the final stretch of the [00:06:24] year. According to INEGI, the largest boost came from trade and [00:06:27] services with a growth of 3.3% compared to the same quarter of [00:06:31] 2025. This was followed by the industrial sector with an advance of [00:06:35] 3.1%, while primary activities such as agriculture, [00:06:39] livestock and fishing increased by 1.8%. [00:06:44] the Mexican economy so far this year also stood at [00:06:47] 1.8%. For his part, the Secretary of Finance and Public [00:06:51] Credit, Edgar Amador, attributed this performance to the [00:06:54] convergence of several factors: greater public and private investment, [00:06:58] recovery of manufacturing activity and expansion of services linked to [00:07:02] productivity and consumption, a behavior that, according [00:07:05] to the official, reflects that economic dynamism does not depend on a single [00:07:09] sector. [00:07:18] I'll tell you now that the government of the Russian Federation extended [00:07:21] until the end of January 2027 the prohibition of [00:07:24] selling diesel abroad by its producers. Russian [00:07:27] authorities explained that this decision was taken to maintain [00:07:31] stability in the domestic fuel market. Likewise, Russian [00:07:35] Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak declared that [00:07:39] along with the extension of the general prohibition, exceptions are being prepared [00:07:43] for certain suppliers that can supply the global market, highlighting [00:07:46] that this flexibility was implemented in last October and is planned for [00:07:50] November. The official added that the supply of Russian diesel to global [00:07:54] markets this month will amount to 2.15 million [00:07:58] tons compared to the 510 [00:08:01] tons exported in [00:08:02] October. [00:08:10] And in other news, from today until November 5, the province of [00:08:14] Xin Shenjiang in China, in eastern China, [00:08:18] will host the World Internet Conference, and you can consult more [00:08:22] information in the official coverage of [00:08:24] precisely this sector. To see more information, we have [00:08:28] prepared the following material. [00:08:31] Since its creation in 2014, the World [00:08:34] Internet Conference has established itself as a fundamental space for the [00:08:38] debate of topics on development, innovation, problems, and [00:08:42] policies of global internet technology. For this reason, [00:08:46] the preparations for this new edition were carried out [00:08:49] meticulously to make the experience more interactive. The [00:08:53] organizers inspected everything from traffic control in electrical [00:08:56] grids to telecommunications to [00:08:59] ensure security during the event. On this occasion, [00:09:06] intersections throughout the city stands out. Robot [00:09:09] dogs and robots replace [00:09:14] repetitive, high-intensity tasks that previously [00:09:18] required manual labor on site. [00:09:21] They mainly carry out inspection and infrared [00:09:25] thermography of electrical supply equipment in [00:09:28] substations, increasing efficiency and ensuring a [00:09:32] reliable electricity supply for the Gushen summit of the [00:09:35] World Internet Conference. With regard to [00:09:38] connectivity, the conference has deployed throughout the city [00:09:41] supports for 4K live broadcasts and [00:09:45] high-bandwidth data for robots with built-in AI, [00:09:49] as well as guided tours by artificial intelligence. With [00:09:52] the deployment of the 5GA network, the [00:09:55] simultaneous connection capacity of wireless [00:09:59] terminals in these venues has multiplied by [00:10:02] 2.5 compared to previous [00:10:05] events. In particular, the Like of [00:10:08] Internet exhibition pavilion can support [00:10:11] about 10,000 people who simultaneously [00:10:14] use mobile phones and other [00:10:18] wireless terminals to communicate and transmit [00:10:21] data. This summit will bring together [00:10:25] Chinese and foreign participants, who will delve into innovation, [00:10:29] security governance, cultural exchanges and international [00:10:32] cooperation, as well as topics on cyberspace. It will also [00:10:36] feature 27 sub-forums that will address topics such as trust, [00:10:39] connectivity and interoperability between artificial [00:10:43] intelligence agents, robotics, integrated [00:10:46] artificial intelligence and spatiotemporal [00:10:48] intelligence. [00:10:51] We continue in the Asian giant, as China is expanding its [00:10:55] renewable energy generation capacity in high-altitude [00:10:59] regions. The country's electricity council reported that the proportion of [00:11:03] installed capacity in these areas has increased over the past 5 years as part [00:11:06] of the advancement of its clean energy infrastructure. The [00:11:10] advance is significant: the share of renewable energies in the [00:11:13] installed electrical capacity of these regions jumped from [00:11:16] 28.5% to [00:11:20] representing an increase of 24.4 percentage [00:11:22] points, according to the China Electricity Council. The same [00:11:26] council highlighted that by the end of September, the installed capacity [00:11:29] for new energy generation in these regions stood at [00:11:32] 25.6% of the national total, while for [00:11:36] wind energy, it totaled 28.1%, and solar [00:11:40] reached 24.9%. The growth is also reflected in the [00:11:43] infrastructure in seven provinces and regions with an [00:11:47] average altitude of 1500 meters or more, where the installed [00:11:51] capacity of new energies increased from 144 to 476 MW [00:11:57] in the last 5 years, which means its capacity [00:12:00] has tripled in this [00:12:01] way. [00:12:10] We take a first break, when we return as part of our analysis space, we will make a [00:12:13] radiography of the US economy, as you know, tomorrow are the midterm [00:12:17] elections, so we will do this analysis, don't go away, [00:12:20] we'll be back. [00:14:31] One day before the midterm elections, inflation in the United States stands [00:14:35] at 3.6%, although President [00:14:37] Trump promised in his 2024 campaign to lower gasoline [00:14:41] to less than $2 per gallon, the cost of living, fuel, [00:14:44] and the loss of purchasing power remain the main [00:14:48] concerns of voters. Annual inflation, for example, rose to [00:14:51] 3.6% in September, two tenths above [00:14:55] 3.4% in August, according to data provided [00:14:58] by the Department of Commerce. Likewise, US crude oil remains [00:15:02] above $100 per barrel, after the conflict in [00:15:06] Iran. Before those tensions, it traded below [00:15:08] $70. Gasoline is around $4.25 [00:15:12] per gallon on national average. In the same vein, core inflation, which [00:15:16] excludes food and energy due to their frequent [00:15:19] variations, reached 3.1% annually, one [00:15:22] tenth more than in August. This is the indicator the Federal Reserve [00:15:26] closely follows to decide its monetary policy. We highlight that the economy [00:15:30] became a central theme of the campaign. Polls [00:15:33] indicate that the majority of voters have an unfavorable perception of the economy [00:15:37] and the management of prices by President Donald [00:15:40] Trump. [00:15:50] Consumer inflation in the United States gained momentum in [00:15:53] September, driven mainly by rising [00:15:56] energy costs. Official data indicated that the US consumer [00:16:00] price index grew only 0.6% monthly and [00:16:04] 3.7% year-on-year in September, compared to [00:16:08] 0.4% and 3.4% in August respectively. In turn, the [00:16:11] core consumer price index rose [00:16:14] 0.3% from the previous month and [00:16:17] 2.6% year-on-year, and the food [00:16:20] price index rose 0.1% monthly in [00:16:23] September, matching the August increase. Likewise, overall [00:16:26] inflation increased 0.6% monthly, driven [00:16:30] primarily by a 9.1% [00:16:33] prices. These increases were attributed to rising energy [00:16:37] costs, as well as increases in housing [00:16:40] prices, car repairs, education, [00:16:44] airline tickets, medical services, and clothing. [00:16:57] And American confidence is continuously weakening due to [00:17:00] rising prices. Recent consumer surveys at the University [00:17:04] of Michigan indicated that the consumer sentiment index [00:17:10] October of the current year. It highlighted [00:17:13] that the index of current economic conditions fell to [00:17:16] 46.7, while the consumer expectations index [00:17:20] rose slightly to 48.8 from [00:17:23] 46.3 in September. It also highlighted that inflation expectations for [00:17:26] October rose to 4.7%, along with [00:17:29] long-term inflation expectations, which stood [00:17:33] at 3.5%. Likewise, the survey indicated that in [00:17:36] October, the percentage of consumers who reported that high prices [00:17:40] harmed their personal finances increased for the fourth consecutive [00:17:43] month, reaching 56% compared to [00:17:46] 45% in [00:17:47] January. [00:17:56] And just one day before the legislative elections, federal [00:18:00] cuts in food and health assistance in the United States [00:18:03] deepen the difficulties of vulnerable households and increase the pressure [00:18:07] on food banks and community services. Let's see the details [00:18:11] in the following material. [00:18:14] Oscar Ochoa, a 65-year-old military veteran [00:18:17] residing in Arizona, lost access to food aid and had [00:18:21] to return to work as a bus driver to cope with the rising [00:18:24] cost of basic products, especially [00:18:27] meat. Right now, as we speak, food prices, meat, [00:18:31] for example, are too high for me. That's why [00:18:34] going to the community food bank is a great help, as they provide me [00:18:38] with products that I otherwise would not be able to afford to buy in [00:18:41] supermarkets. The modifications to the SNAP [00:18:44] programs, intended for food purchases, and Medicaid, which guarantees [00:18:48] health coverage for eligible [00:18:51] residents who meet legal requirements, including [00:18:54] refugees, asylum seekers, and survivors of trafficking and domestic [00:18:58] violence. In New Jersey, authorities estimate that more than [00:19:02] 300,000 people could lose their Medicaid [00:19:05] coverage as a result of federal [00:19:09] changes. Before the cuts to nutrition programs [00:19:12] implemented by the Trump administration, our food [00:19:15] bank here in southern Arizona served about [00:19:19] 150,000 people a year. Now, we estimate that the [00:19:23] numbers are approaching 200,000 people. On average, [00:19:26] we are seeing an 18% increase in the number of [00:19:30] people coming to use our services. The new [00:19:33] access conditions incorporate verifications and procedures, [00:19:36] while restricting the eligibility of certain [00:19:40] immigrants who legally reside in the country. The [00:19:43] consequences can translate into higher family expenses, [00:19:47] medical bills that are difficult to cover, and a growing demand for [00:19:51] public and community assistance. The impact transcends direct [00:19:54] beneficiaries; when households reduce their purchases to [00:19:58] compensate for the loss of aid, their consumption capacity is also [00:20:02] affected. For the electorate that today suffers scarcity in their own [00:20:05] home, the message is clear: [00:20:08] government cuts do not benefit the consumer; on the [00:20:11] contrary, they redefine the political landscape by making food [00:20:15] security the most relentless reminder that decisions in Congress [00:20:19] have a direct human cost that the polls will not hesitate to [00:20:23] collect. [00:20:25] For its part, wholesale inflation in the United States also reached [00:20:28] 6.3% in September, its highest level in almost 4 [00:20:32] years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that the producer [00:20:35] price index increased 1.3% during the month of [00:20:39] September, while in August it grew 0.5% and in July [00:20:43] 0.2%. The September index exceeded economists' [00:20:46] forecasts, who predicted an advance of 0.6% [00:20:50] monthly and 5.5% annually. Core [00:20:53] wholesale inflation increased 0.5 percentage points in [00:20:56] September, also above the increases of previous [00:20:59] months. [00:21:02] The course of the legislative elections in the midterm of November 3 [00:21:06] will be marked by weak employment and the economic pressure [00:21:10] suffered by households in the United States. More details [00:21:13] below. [00:21:15] Although the White House defends its economic results, [00:21:19] rising prices and the slowdown in contraction [00:21:22] fuel discontent among different sectors of the [00:21:25] population. Employers added just [00:21:29] 29,000 workers in September, while [00:21:32] unemployment stood at 4.2%, [00:21:36] according to federal figures cited in the report. At [00:21:39] the same time, average hourly wages grew [00:21:43] 3% year-on-year, below the 3.7% [00:21:46] inflation, reducing the purchasing power of [00:21:50] families. We are not seeing a large number of jobs added, [00:21:54] we are not seeing solid sectoral participation in the jobs [00:21:57] added, and that leads to longer job search [00:22:01] times, it can also lead to longer periods of [00:22:03] unemployment. Having a job and feeling financially [00:22:07] secure are two different things, therefore, the midterm elections [00:22:10] could boil down to the difference between economic statistics and economic [00:22:14] experience. It's one thing to read the statistics, but of course, ordinary [00:22:17] people are at the breakfast table analyzing their situation and seeing how it is not as [00:22:21] promising as some want us to believe. [00:22:25] Promises to recover manufacturing jobs through tariffs [00:22:28] are still not reflected in a sufficient [00:22:32] expansion of industrial employment. In addition, [00:22:35] the incorporation of artificial intelligence is modifying [00:22:39] opportunities for recent graduates. The contrast [00:22:42] between macroeconomic indicators and everyday [00:22:45] experience could become a political [00:22:49] cost for Republicans amid concerns about housing, [00:22:52] fuel, and [00:22:55] food. [00:23:00] On the eve of election day, these economic indicators set the stage [00:23:04] for a vote in which citizens will choose which economic [00:23:08] direction. [00:23:13] At this time, we add live information from Venezuela. We are [00:23:16] going to specify the images, it is a meeting. [00:23:20] the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, who receives the Minister of [00:23:24] Economy and Territorial Cohesion of Portugal at Miraflores [00:23:26] Palace, the Government Palace, an important [00:23:30] meeting between the Venezuelan government and authorities of the [00:23:34] Portuguese government, a European nation that is thus approaching the [00:23:38] Caracas government on this November 2nd. Of course, it [00:23:41] is also part of the alliance that the Bolivarian [00:23:45] Republic of Venezuela maintains with various nations [00:23:48] in the framework of reestablishing relations at the international [00:23:52] level. There we see the acting [00:23:55] president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, holding this meeting [00:23:59] with members of the government of [00:24:02] Portugal. We are talking, of course, about the Minister of Economy and Territorial [00:24:05] Cohesion of Portugal, who is currently in the city of Caracas [00:24:08] taking part in this meeting, this encounter [00:24:11] with the authorities of Venezuela. [00:24:14] It must be stated that Venezuela has, of course, been reestablishing [00:24:18] relations at all levels [00:24:20] during the last few months. We are talking about political [00:24:24] and, of course, economic relations with various [00:24:27] nations, both from the Latin American region [00:24:30] and from Europe. On this occasion, we reiterate [00:24:34] that the acting president of the country, Delcy Rodríguez, is currently [00:24:38] meeting in the government palace of Caracas, Miraflores [00:24:41] Palace, with authorities of the government of [00:24:44] Portugal, a relationship that is not [00:24:47] new. We are talking about a relationship that has been strengthening for [00:24:51] years, decades, and which, of course, on this [00:24:54] date, November 2nd, is still ongoing, this meeting, this [00:24:58] encounter between the acting president and authorities [00:25:02] of the Ministry of Economy of Portugal. Of course, the [00:25:05] extended details will be available in future [00:25:13] trucks to preserve food, while others [00:25:17] suffered merchandise losses and had to discard products due to [00:25:21] loss of refrigeration. Tens of millions of euros in [00:25:25] losses were reported due to products affected by temperature [00:25:28] changes and damage to machinery. It is worth noting [00:25:31] that these incidents come just three weeks after a similar [00:25:35] attack caused rapid thawing in at least 700 [00:25:38] supermarkets in France, as well as in several in the Netherlands [00:25:42] and, uh, uh, in several, I mean, refrigerators in the Netherlands [00:25:46] and also in Belgium. [00:25:54] We move to Europa Press, which informs us that in Spain, the general [00:25:57] strike on 11N already exceeds 4300 [00:26:01] adhesions in company committees and trade [00:26:03] union sections. The Tenants' Union, in its most recent statement, [00:26:07] reported that the adhesions counted 4,342. [00:26:11] It highlighted that the call extends to the public sector with adhesions from [00:26:16] staff of administrations and city councils.
