10:23different places such as haiti honduras colombia dominican republic vietnam and ukraine it is feared
10:30that the number could be higher due to the illegal nature of these procedures at the same time several
10:36migrants have been reported missing next sunday may 11th uruguayans returned to the polls to elect 19
10:51governors and 136 mayors of the country let's learn about some relevant aspects of these local elections
10:58in the following report by our correspondent in uruguay mateo grilla
11:06just two months ago yemen dorsey took office as the new president of uruguay with the echoes of
11:12that day still fresh in the air uruguayans returned to the polls this sunday to elect governors
11:18and mayors it is an important election because it defines two levels of government the departmental
11:26and the municipal especially the departmental is relevant from the political point of view
11:30how the map of the departmental in tendencies will look like where there are some expectations and a
11:35traditional behavior in the framework of a campaign marked by a notorious decrease in citizen participation
11:48the candidates have toured departments cities towns and streets trying to transmit a message that
11:55focuses on territorial management and cleanliness in montevideo the opposition candidates who two months
12:02ago governed the country are demanding immediate solutions and are presenting themselves as the
12:08change but in the capital the ruling broad front has been winning uninterruptedly for 35 years and is
12:15sure to win again despite this there are issues such as security cleanliness transportation and mobility
12:23that concerns citizens cleanliness is an issue that is in the whole country it is the first problem we
12:33have i think we have to think about it and well we believe that montevideo has changed a lot there is
12:42no doubt that there is always something to do but i think that the broad front has shown that during
12:46these 35 years it has governed quite well i believe that any of the three candidates offer very good
12:59proposals on the garbage issue but there is also the issue of security the issue of the streets i
13:04believe that these are the three concerns and all three raise very good issues in this regard
13:09the left wing closed the electoral campaign a few hours before the beginning of the electoral ban
13:21in an act in which its three candidates spoke mario bergara current senator former minister of economy
13:28and former president of the central bank is leading the polls and will probably be the next governor of
13:34the capital city we are going to do things and we are going to have achievements we are going to have
13:45difficulties but we are going to do it in a way that the uruguayan people and the people of montevideo
13:50chose 35 years ago which is a way of ethics transparency accountability of putting people at the center of
13:56putting those who need it most as a priority this will continue in montevideo because the broad front
14:07will continue to govern despite the change in the political cycle at the national level this does not
14:18translate mechanically to the departmental level where the logic is different historically the national
14:24party whose leader is the now former president lukai puu wins in two-thirds of the departments and in
14:31most of the mayoral offices if the left makes a good election it could obtain besides montevideo and
14:38cantalones which are the most populated and richest territories in the country one or two more departments
14:45but we will have to wait until sunday night thus the political map for the next five years will be shaped
14:51in colombia the international book fair reaches its final stretch topics such as racism and artificial
15:12intelligence have been among the central themes more details with the correspondent ernando bar
15:17this stand at the international book fair in bogota is one of the few independent publishers present
15:28whose authors and texts invite continuous debate and analysis of current and historical issues
15:40more than an official history more than commercial books there are other types of publications that show
15:44the reality of colombia the critical thinking of their authors academics other views of the official
15:48version of what is being built in politics economics social movements feminism environmental issues
15:58and that there is a public that is beginning to explore and learn about these types of proposals
16:02precisely in these literary spaces we find a text whose subject matter has reached the attention of the
16:17attendance as it warns about the relationship between technology environment and society and the
16:23responsibility of the big industrial corporations in these affections
16:27i question this dominant logic the use and critique of technology and call for us to think a little
16:36about how much it costs to use a cell phone a computer and now the misnamed artificial intelligence
16:41what is its waste of energy its waste of water its energy footprint its carbon footprint
16:47what is also the dehumanizing effect it has on people how it generalizes capitalist alienation
16:53depersonalization and objectification in our tour through this literary ecosystem
17:05in the pavilion of the guest country for this version spain we came across a text that was
17:10attentively detailed by some readers and whose subject matter is of great interest in a problem
17:16that is still valid today racism is not only an issue of skin color but goes beyond that and then
17:28investigates so that we can ask ourselves whether or not we are being racist and focuses on the issue
17:34of spain because it is a place where many immigrants arrive and makes the analysis based on that
17:40outside the pavilions of this fair we invited liliana a writer whose work was not accepted by any publisher
17:54for promotion a book that critically addresses elements of the rupture and continuity in economic
17:59policy issues investor confidence defense and security policy and the rupture of diplomatic relations at
18:06the latin american level in the presidential periods of uribe and santos from 2000 to until 2012
18:19in 2008 the assault on the raw reyes camp in sucumas ecuador defined a policy of interventionism
18:25that was maintained during the uribe government in colombia where the military forces violated the
18:30sovereignty of ecuador and in turn there were very strong confrontations with venezuela the intention
18:36of reviewing these aspects is precisely to account for the ruptures that were generated
18:50liliana calls attention to the fact that fairs such as these or the publishers present do not limit
18:56or discriminate against writers because of their themes or even economic issues since she has
19:02encountered multiple impediments for her work to be visible in this version of the book fair which
