[00:01:30] Hello, welcome to Telesur News, I'm Luis Francisco
[00:01:35] said that the judicial body has Blandón in Caracas, Venezuela. Immediately our headlines, we begin.
[00:01:39] The war against Iran, the high cost of living and Donald Trump's
[00:01:42] immigration policy precipitated the electoral defeat of the
[00:01:46] security, he compared his situation with Republican Party in the midterm elections in the United
[00:01:49] States.
[00:01:53] Savers in Paraguay demand explanations for their

[00:02:08] of the price of gasoline, people agree with what The government of Peru extends the state of emergency in the
[00:02:11] Piura region in order to combat the high rates of organized crime
[00:02:15] and acts of violence.
[00:02:23] 22 countries, will meet at
[00:02:42] Let's start with the scenario in the United States, Democrats
[00:02:45] achieved a majority in the Congress of that country, the
[00:02:49] Senate and Governorships of the United States in an
[00:02:52] election day yesterday with results
[00:02:56] that, of course, have been under scrutiny and analysis in
[00:03:00] recent hours. Let's add our correspondent Jorge
[00:03:02] Gestoso from Washington, with more details and, of course, the analysis. Jorge, good
[00:03:06] afternoon,
[00:03:07] go ahead,
[00:03:11] in the chamber in is also a regular professor at Luis, perhaps two aspects that can be representative and
[00:03:14] interesting of what happened then on
[00:03:17] this day of the midterm legislative elections
[00:03:21] in the United States yesterday, considered a
[00:03:24] tsunami, a Democratic tsunami that
[00:03:29] A summit that is not such, only swept across all fronts and... the policy of President Trump for the
[00:03:32] next 2 years
[00:03:35] within the Republican party, there are outraged people in that in what has to do with the Democratic party, an
[00:03:39] advance within the candidates of what they call social democracy,
[00:03:42] two elements to
[00:03:46] highlight, we are talking about a Palestinian
[00:03:49] vs.
[00:03:51] mosaic of realities. Immerse yourself in we are talking about Kawas, her surname,
[00:03:54] in the New York state congress,
[00:03:58] it is district 2. This was the first time that a
[00:04:02] Palestinian American integrates that part of politics
[00:04:07] less dependent on and on the other hand at the senator level
[00:04:09] we are talking about Abdul
[00:04:12] management, now he says I am not on El Sayeb who is also Muslim and achieved
[00:04:16] a position as senator in
[00:04:19] the United States Congress, an important advance within
[00:04:23] the Democratic party that shows that it has a
[00:04:27] the FSLN, with new challenge ahead to see how to reconcile. within the
[00:04:30] party, the more conservative wings with the more progressive wings
[00:04:34] and perhaps Luis, what can be
[00:04:37] for many very, very representative of what was being
[00:04:41] experienced this morning inside the White House,
[00:04:44] this was leaked, this was known in a,
[00:04:48] shall we say, parallel way, this is not a memorandum, this is not
[00:04:51] written proof,
[00:04:54] but it has been possible
[00:04:57] to detect what the atmosphere was like. The atmosphere was that what
[00:05:01] circulated said that
[00:05:04] let's forget it, let's forget it refers to the
[00:05:08] Republicans, let's forget about
[00:05:11] that allows advancing the payment of recovering the lower house until 2030,
[00:05:15] let's forget about recovering the Senate until
[00:05:19] 2032, this is more than
[00:05:22] significant, Luis, he said, and that
[00:05:25] JD, that is, JD Vance, the vice president of the
[00:05:29] United States, forget about 2028,
[00:05:33] referring to his supposedly expectations
[00:05:37] of participating as a presidential candidate,
[00:05:40] this defines everything. also Luis, the
[00:05:44] importance that there were four border states with
[00:05:47] Mexico, that all four are now under
[00:05:50] the governorship of the Democratic party, we return
[00:05:54] to you,
[00:05:57] yes, we are still very attentive to the scenario there, thank you very much, Jorge Gestoso,
[00:06:00] our colleague, with the key data of what
[00:06:03] has been this election day yesterday and what has
[00:06:06] represented, of course, as we have commented, a complete
[00:06:10] defeat for the president of the United States. Donald Trump,
[00:06:14] let's remember that the Democrats even won in
[00:06:17] key states for
[00:06:21] the Republican party, it has not only
[00:06:24] the Senate and the House of
[00:06:27] Representatives, it has also been so in the election of
[00:06:31] the governors of those states in dispute yesterday and that
[00:06:34] represent, as we have commented, an important triumph not
[00:06:38] only for what is the
[00:06:41] Democratic party, but an
[00:06:44] important defeat for the president of the United States, Donald
[00:06:48] Trump, precisely the president has recognized the war against
[00:06:51] Iran and the rise in fuel prices as
[00:06:55] key points that influenced the electoral setback of the
[00:06:58] Republican Party, he admitted that the economic costs of the
[00:07:02] offensive could have influenced the citizen
[00:07:04] vote, although he defended his military strategy, there the president
[00:07:08] attributed part of the results to the performance of the
[00:07:17] Democrats, I think it's because
[00:07:21] I'm doing in Iran, but they probably weren't
[00:07:24] willing to bear the short-term consequences of having to pay more for
[00:07:27] gasoline, and you know, I get it, it's
[00:07:31] like I don't agree with that, I would tell people
[00:07:34] that, you know it's a short-term problem, but it
[00:07:38] leads to a long-term gain. but well,
[00:07:41] it's a shame,
[00:07:45] look, the bottom line is that in many
[00:07:47] cases they couldn't get the votes, and I think the
[00:07:51] Democrats did a good job, they really
[00:07:54] did, I think they did a good job, they fought hard,
[00:07:57] you know, they've been fighting for a long time, they've been fighting me for a long
[00:08:01] time, this battle has been going on for a long
[00:08:05] time,
[00:08:07] there we had President Donald Trump with the reactions
[00:08:11] about this electoral defeat of the Republican
[00:08:14] Party yesterday, let's go with the analysis of that issue, we welcome
[00:08:18] international analyst Leandro Mongerfeld, who
[00:08:23] UBA University, independent researcher at Conicet,
[00:08:27] member of the study group, he tells us, of course, the analysis
[00:08:31] around this whole scenario yesterday, thank you very much for your time,
[00:08:33] welcome, thank you very much for the invitation, good
[00:08:37] afternoon, well we see precisely what the president
[00:08:40] of the United States Donald Trump has commented
[00:08:44] on the defeat
[00:08:47] recent hours who have commented this is a disaster, a
[00:08:51] defeat that only has a
[00:08:54] common denominator, Donald Trump and his
[00:08:58] economic and social policy, the cost of
[00:09:01] living, the cost of fuels, it took its toll yesterday, how have
[00:09:05] you seen it and what to expect now from Congress and from these
[00:09:08] governorships.
[00:09:12] Well, it was a historic defeat, for decades we had not seen such a thing
[00:09:16] from a political point of view in the United States, Trump
[00:09:19] throughout the year said that this election was a plebiscite on his
[00:09:25] the ballot, not as if it were not an
[00:09:28] election where people voted for and against Trump, which is what
[00:09:32] actually happened, we saw that he was going to suffer a
[00:09:35] defeat, but I think nobody analyzed a defeat of
[00:09:39] this magnitude where he will have surely when confirmed. the
[00:09:43] senators of Alaska and Mississippi, 12
[00:09:45] fewer senators than the Democrats when they had a majority, a difference of
[00:09:49] six in their favor, as of today they will have 80
[00:09:53] representatives, that is, 80 fewer deputies than the Democrats, leaving them in a
[00:09:57] situation of great weakness, as you are saying,
[00:10:00] this opens up, on the one hand, some discussions within the Republican
[00:10:04] party that Trump controlled at his
[00:10:07] whim until now, and it places the
[00:10:10] Democratic party with ample possibilities of winning the
[00:10:14] presidential elections in two years, we will see a much weaker
[00:10:18] president, the Lame Duck syndrome, a president who cannot have
[00:10:21] a new re-election because he is serving his second term. But also
[00:10:25] with much weakness, which means that the possibility of changes in the
[00:10:29] cabinet is also starting to sound very strong, no, it could
[00:10:32] be the chief of staff, it could be Pete Buttigieg, the Secretary
[00:10:36] of Defense, no, well, many
[00:10:40] rumors are starting to appear because it was a political tsunami that I believe
[00:10:43] will affect all the governments aligned
[00:10:46] with the United States in Latin America and the Caribbean, no, the
[00:10:50] governments of the shield of the Americas, if we add
[00:10:52] this to Lula's victory.
[00:10:55] 10 days ago in Brazil against the candidate supported by Trump by
[00:10:58] Bolsonaro and the weakness that the Argentine government of Javier
[00:11:02] Miley is showing, be difficult for Donald
[00:11:06] Trump to continue applying the Trump Coronary of the Monroe
[00:11:10] Doctrine or as it is popularly known the Donro
[00:11:13] Doctrine, I think this is very good news for all the
[00:11:17] peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, who have been suffering for
[00:11:20] almost 2 years a very fierce policy from
[00:11:24] this Trump administration and I also believe that the power of
[00:11:28] Marco Rubio is weakened, no, although the
[00:11:31] Republicans won the state of Florida, they won it by a very, very
[00:11:35] narrow margin, for many years Florida was not a competitive
[00:11:39] state, they almost lost the governorship and they barely
[00:11:42] won by very little the scan for the Senate, which
[00:11:46] is precisely a scan only for 2 years, which was
[00:11:50] what was left to fulfill the mandate of Marco
[00:11:54] Rubio precisely. No, he had to leave that seat to
[00:11:57] assume as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor,
[00:12:01] I believe it is a turning point, not only in the
[00:12:04] history of the United States, I believe that we are at the beginning
[00:12:08] of the end of Trumpism as a political
[00:12:11] force, no, and in the second instance I believe that
[00:12:14] this will allow the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean
[00:12:17] to retake the path of political coordination and cooperation, among
[00:12:21] other things, to sustain our sovereignties, we have Mexico. and
[00:12:25] we have Brazil, the two most important countries in Latin
[00:12:28] America, with governments that are precisely not aligned with Trump and knew how to
[00:12:32] confront him.
[00:12:34] Leandro, on the other hand, some are already predicting that
[00:12:38] in the corridors of Congress there will be talk of investigations
[00:12:42] into the President of the United States on many issues and
[00:12:45] many fronts, from the very
[00:12:47] case of what has been
[00:12:51] well not only economic
[00:12:55] and social, which has been so important, the Einstein case also, very probably
[00:12:58] the Democrats will start these investigations, there is also the
[00:13:02] shadow of the impeachment, how do you see those
[00:13:04] scenarios,
[00:13:06] well, you see it was said that if the Democrats, who are currently in
[00:13:10] the minority in the House of Representatives, a narrow minority, but Trump had
[00:13:14] both chambers, an unusual power, no, if they achieved a
[00:13:17] majority with half plus one of the votes with 218
[00:13:20] deputies, you can or representatives can initiate an impeachment
[00:13:24] trial. Well, he will have a majority of more than 80, that is, it is an
[00:13:28] ultra-majority of the Democratic party that for 40
[00:13:32] years had not had a supremacy
[00:13:36] both chambers of this magnitude, so he can not
[00:13:40] only investigate Donald Trump but he can investigate his entire
[00:13:43] cabinet, no, in addition they will put many limits on the possibility of him continuing
[00:13:47] to indebt himself, notice that last year the United States was
[00:13:51] 42 days in shutdown with the government closed.
[00:13:55] Not because they discussed what cuts they had to make
[00:13:59] to increase the spending of a government that has a
[00:14:02] public debt, the American government, the American state
[00:14:06] of more than 140% of
[00:14:08] its GDP, if it cost Trump last year, imagine with a congress of these
[00:14:12] characteristics and the same for the Senate, it will end
[00:14:15] 54-46 but if we add the two from Alaska and
[00:14:18] Mississippi that are in dispute with a Democratic
[00:14:21] projection 56 to 44, a majority
[00:14:25] that could never be imagined, because it was very
[00:14:28] difficult for them to snatch a number of states that Trump had won by more
[00:14:31] than 10% just 2 years ago, that is, he lost in all the
[00:14:35] states, even in Texas, in
[00:14:38] Kansas, yes, in South
[00:14:42] Carolina, in places where for decades the Republicans
[00:14:45] had not lost, no, this, this situation of
[00:14:49] weakness, I ask again if they are going to go ahead with an impeachment, the problem is that the chamber
[00:14:52] that judges is the Senate and to impeach a
[00:14:55] president you need two thirds of the senators present, if there are 100
[00:14:59] senators present you need 67 votes, you would
[00:15:02] need a fracture in the Republican party and many
[00:15:06] Republicans to support an impeachment of Trump, I don't think this
[00:15:10] will happen, yes, but an impeachment can
[00:15:13] be initiated, there will be many obstacles to the Trump government
[00:15:16] and it will have many difficulties, yes, also in its foreign
[00:15:20] policy to continue behaving like a bully
[00:15:23] all over the world and particularly in Latin America and the
[00:15:26] Caribbean, I think this change of scenario added to the elections in
[00:15:30] Brazil, where against all odds with strong
[00:15:33] popular mobilization, Lula's PT achieved a historic
[00:15:36] victory. 10 million votes accumulated between the first and second
[00:15:40] round, no, it is a very hard blow for all the far-right
[00:15:43] and marks, I believe, yesterday's election, a limit
[00:15:47] to this power of the United States, I believe that we are moving towards a much
[00:15:51] more multipolar world, the BRICS countries,
[00:15:54] China, Russia, India, Turkey,
[00:15:57] South Africa, Brazil are indicating that there are other
[00:16:01] emerging countries that are not willing to accept that the United States
[00:16:04] continues to behave like a bully, ignoring the United
[00:16:07] Nations, ignoring the multilateral system, attacking the
[00:16:10] sovereignty of other countries unilaterally,
[00:16:13] as we saw throughout this year and the other
[00:16:17] issue is the war in Iran, no, the war in Iran that both Chivans and
[00:16:20] Trump himself recognized today that if he lost the elections,
[00:16:24] if they lost the elections yesterday it was because of the war, no the rejection of the war and the
[00:16:28] increase in the cost of living is tremendous, precisely on that I was going to ask you
[00:16:32] Leandro to finish, I have little time, the issue of Iran
[00:16:35] of course, the issue of Israel, obviously there will be
[00:16:39] changes, how is it suggested now from now on regarding foreign
[00:16:43] policy, the relationship with Israel and well, there was
[00:16:46] talk of new attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran by
[00:16:50] Donald Trump, quickly to close, yes, quickly,
[00:16:53] well, that speculation seems to me to have less power to do this at this time the
[00:16:57] American government and in the case of Israel, well 8 days ago there were
[00:17:01] elections, Netanyahu does not get the votes to be ratified as
[00:17:05] head of government of Israel and if you see today the betting sites, yes,
[00:17:09] the opponent, yes, to Netanyahu, who could form
[00:17:13] a government together with the Arab parties, today he has more chances, yes, of being the
[00:17:16] new authority of Israel, I'll close with this, yesterday Trump, before the polls
[00:17:20] opened, said, this year we are going to cut the aid of $4
[00:17:24] billion annually to Israel, there is a general rejection in American
[00:17:28] society to continue supporting a
[00:17:31] genocidal like Netanyahu, it is a very important
[00:17:35] political fact that it seems to me. So everyone in the world will take note,
[00:17:39] we are facing great geopolitical changes all over the world and yesterday's
[00:17:43] election seems to me that it will mark for a long time, a before and
[00:17:46] after, we are still very attentive because the repercussions of
[00:17:49] this electoral scenario in the United States continue, Leandro, thank you very much for your
[00:17:53] time, thank you very much, Leandro
[00:17:56] Mongrefeld, who is an international analyst, regular professor at UBA,
[00:18:00] independent researcher at Conicet, also a member of the Study Group
[00:18:03] regarding what happened yesterday in the United States,
[00:18:07] midterm elections and the
[00:18:10] defeat of President Donald Trump, the president of Cuba, on the other hand,
[00:18:14] Miguel Díaz Canel denounced that the economic blockade of the United States and the
[00:18:18] energy crisis are aggravating the difficulties to guarantee the
[00:18:21] water supply on the island, the president pointed out the limitations
[00:18:25] to import equipment, resources and fuel, but also to
[00:18:29] sustain electricity generation and pumping systems,
[00:18:32] bombeos,
[00:18:36] an economic blockade that makes it harder to find solutions
[00:18:39] regarding the import of equipment, regarding the import of
[00:18:43] means and resources for the necessary investments
[00:18:46] and maintenance that need to be done and on the other hand,
[00:18:50] the energy crisis, no we don't have fuel to
[00:18:53] pump and besides that we don't have all the fuel to
[00:18:57] generate electricity and there is no one to distribute water
[00:19:00] without electricity generation,
[00:19:02] that is,
[00:19:05] the Cuban leader announced the proposal of an integral plan to face the
[00:19:08] difficulties in the supply and
[00:19:11] distribution of water aggravated by the economic blockade and the energy
[00:19:15] restrictions imposed by the United States. The
[00:19:17] Nation,
[00:19:20] important, that is why we are proposing in this integral program that I believe
[00:19:24] that it can be explained and elaborated on in the
[00:19:27] program, an integral program that tries to separate and then
[00:19:31] we will explain how it tries to separate the electrical
[00:19:33] blackout from the water blackout so that we can.
[00:19:37] achieve that water pumping, water supply to the population is increasingly less
[00:19:40] dependent,
[00:19:44] the situation of the national
[00:19:46] electricity system.
[00:19:48] Savers in Paraguay are demanding explanations for
[00:19:52] their money after the declaration of insolvency and the
[00:19:55] intervention of Guno Bank, one of the most important digital
[00:19:58] banking entities in that country. Bueno Bank
[00:20:02] manages deposits from about 3 million
[00:20:05] clients, it completely suspended.
[00:20:07] operations, including cards, transfers and
[00:20:10] mobile payment applications, leaving
[00:20:13] about 2.8 billion
[00:20:16] dollars blocked, which has triggered, of course, massive protests,
[00:20:20] affected Paraguayan families are demanding immediate
[00:20:23] answers within the framework of the law and
[00:20:26] request that the current government act with all
[00:20:30] the firmness that the situation requires, they maintain that the facts
[00:20:33] must be thoroughly investigated and if responsibilities
[00:20:36] are proven. All the perpetrators and accomplices must be
[00:20:39] brought to justice. In an attempt to bring
[00:20:43] tranquility to depositors, the Senate of Paraguay approved a bill
[00:20:49] the deposit guarantee to Bueno Bank savers within a maximum
[00:20:52] period of 24
[00:20:53] hours.
[00:21:03] The Peruvian government formalized the extension of the state of emergency in
[00:21:06] several districts and provinces of the Piura region in order to
[00:21:10] combat the high rates of organized crime and
[00:21:13] acts of violence. The measure was formally published through the Official
[00:21:17] Gazette El Peruano by means of Supreme Decree. number
[00:21:20] 126/2026 (PSM) in
[00:21:24] force formally from November 5, 2026 and
[00:21:28] will last 60 calendar days. Under this legal framework,
[00:21:32] the emergency maintains the temporary suspension or restriction of
[00:21:36] fundamental freedoms in the affected districts to expedite
[00:21:40] police operations against criminal gangs. The
[00:21:43] deployment of security forces in the joint intervention zones will be
[00:21:47] determined based on updated
[00:21:51] intelligence information, crime statistics and crime
[00:21:54] heat
[00:21:55] maps.
[00:22:03] In another scenario, the president of the Supreme Court of Justice of Bolivia,
[00:22:07] Romer Saucedo, announced that he and his family left the
[00:22:10] country, arguing lack of guarantees for their security
[00:22:14] and political persecution orchestrated by the government of Rodrigo
[00:22:18] Paz. Saucedo clarified that his exile does not represent a resignation of his
[00:22:22] functions as a magistrate, he
[00:22:25] the necessary quorum to continue without his physical
[00:22:29] presence, he pointed out that he plans to return to the nation when he considers that
[00:22:32] there are conditions for
[00:22:36] the assassination of the dean of the agro-environmental court Víctor
[00:22:40] Hugo Claure and criticized the lack of clarification regarding the
[00:22:43] case. So far, the authorities have not issued a statement
[00:22:47] on Saucedo's accusations and it is expected that the Supreme Court of
[00:22:50] Justice will define in the coming hours how the
[00:22:53] board of directors will be reorganized in the physical absence of its
[00:22:57] president.
[00:23:06] This Wednesday and Thursday, heads of state and
[00:23:09] government, as well as representatives from
[00:23:13] the 30th Ibero-American summit, at
[00:23:16] a time of strong international tension.
[00:23:22] It all started 35 years ago in Guadalajara, Mexico, it was July
[00:23:26] 1991 and for the first time Latin America,
[00:23:30] Spain and Portugal sat at the same table, over
[00:23:33] time the forum added education, culture, science,
[00:23:36] equality and created a permanent secretariat, the
[00:23:40] Segit with headquarters in Madrid.
[00:23:43] We are talking about a space of about 700 million
[00:23:46] people, more than 8% of the world population.
[00:23:50] and about 9% of the planet's
[00:23:52] wealth. The Ibero-American Summit of
[00:23:56] Cuenca, held in Ecuador in 2024, gathered
[00:23:59] only five heads of state, compared to the usual 12.
[00:24:03] Everyone considered it a failure as one of
[00:24:06] the most notable diplomatic failures that has
[00:24:09] occurred in the history of multilateral relations and this type
[00:24:13] of international
[00:24:15] meetings.
[00:24:19] three heads of state attend, of the three,
[00:24:23] not counting the host, three of two of them
[00:24:26] with absolutely ceremonial functions, who are not
[00:24:30] heads of government, as is the case of the King of Spain, for example, no
[00:24:34] doubt, it is really a meeting of cooperation
[00:24:37] directors, for the Spanish government this summit will be
[00:24:40] an opportunity to recover this historical
[00:24:44] content, a before and after this
[00:24:48] summit in which Madrid will become
[00:24:50] not only the capital of Spain, but the capital of Ibero-America, with
[00:24:53] a plan for Ibero-American cooperation
[00:24:56] for the coming years with very
[00:24:59] important decisions about an Ibero-American digital alliance, now that the digital space
[00:25:03] is so important for our democracies and our
[00:25:07] well-being, with a civil protection mechanism to
[00:25:10] deal with those natural disasters that plague all countries, all
[00:25:14] Ibero-American countries, floods,
[00:25:17] typhoons, earthquakes and therefore it will
[00:25:21] truly be a historical summit, new observer
[00:25:24] states are also being incorporated, which shows that the voice of
[00:25:28] Ibero-America as a region matters more and more, important actors such
[00:25:32] as Turkey, India or Angola, from all
[00:25:34] continents. Spain arrives at this summit in the midst of
[00:25:38] an electoral pre-campaign with Latin America as one of the banners of its foreign
[00:25:41] policy. The challenge of this event is to know if it will manage
[00:25:45] to convert commitments into concrete measures and stop the
[00:25:49] advance of extremism and violence will it
[00:25:52] be a family
[00:25:53] photo again?
[00:25:58] Armenia could officially submit its application for
[00:26:01] membership to the European Union in 2027
[00:26:04] or 2028, according to Prime Minister Nicole
[00:26:07] Pashinian, in a move that distances him from Russia.
[00:26:11] Alexasín, more details.
[00:26:14] Greetings from Saint Petersburg, dear friends.
[00:26:17] Armenia could officially submit its application
[00:26:21] for membership to the European Union in 2027
[00:26:24] or 2028. This was announced by Prime Minister Nicole
[00:26:28] Pashinian during an interview with Euro news at a summit
[00:26:31] on community creation held in
[00:26:34] Brussels. The Armenian Head of State confirmed that the political
[00:26:38] process that would lead to that decision
[00:26:41] is already underway. But behind the declarations about democracy
[00:26:45] and new opportunities lies a geopolitical dilemma
[00:26:48] with enormous consequences. Yerevan
[00:26:52] recognizes that it cannot simultaneously belong to the
[00:26:55] European Union and the Eurasian
[00:26:59] which it is a part along with Russia. Therefore, it
[00:27:02] is not a simple bureaucratic request, but a
[00:27:06] possible change in the strategic orientation of the entire
[00:27:09] country. The issue becomes even more delicate due to the
[00:27:13] deterioration of Armenia's military relations with
[00:27:16] Russia. Next November 11, the leaders of the
[00:27:19] Collective Security Treaty Organization, headed
[00:27:22] by Russia, could address the situation
[00:27:26] of Armenia in Moscow. The Secretary General of the
[00:27:29] organization has already indicated that even
[00:27:32] the continuity of Armenia's
[00:27:35] membership in this organization could
[00:27:39] be examined. Yerevan, for its part, has already declared that it
[00:27:42] does not intend to return to its activities. Moscow
[00:27:45] also expects Armenia to define its position on a possible
[00:27:49] referendum before this December when the countries of the
[00:27:52] Eurasian Economic Union will examine the
[00:27:56] consequences of an eventual suspension of the
[00:28:00] agreements with Yerevan. For Russia, the problem is not that Armenia develops
[00:28:03] relations with Europe, but that an
[00:28:06] integration incompatible with its
[00:28:09] current commitments can dismantle
[00:28:12] decades of economic and security cooperation.
[00:28:16] And the underlying question is inevitable, is Pashinian
[00:28:19] expanding Armenia's options
[00:28:22] or leading the country towards a strategic rupture
[00:28:26] whose economic and geopolitical
[00:28:28] consequences the Armenians themselves will have to assume?
[00:28:33] From Saint Petersburg for
[00:28:35] Telesur.
[00:28:37] Thank you Alex for the report, our colleague from Moscow.

[00:29:04] Europe without a future or the awakening of a youth demanding
[00:29:08] justice, those negative utopias that do
[00:29:11] not make the future very attractive, have seen and participated in thousands of
[00:29:15] television contests where the one who humiliates the most wins, the one who has less empathy
[00:29:19] or the one who uses their personal attributes to manipulate Brazil. The
[00:29:23] continent is being impacted by massive protests demanding
[00:29:26] labor rights, fair access to housing,
[00:29:30] among other necessities, these protests
[00:29:32] have been led by youth, who do not have a
[00:29:35] promising future given the current world scenario. Juan

[00:30:29] popular support, candidate Daniel Ortega
[00:30:33] obtained a convincing victory, despite the
