“María Corina no puede regresar, Perkins Rocha está preso en su casa con un grillete. Diosdado sigue con su programa amenazando a quien se le ocurre … Estas son condiciones para un diálogo que lleve al reencuentro de los venezolanos?”.
Es la pregunta que se hace @hectorschamis frente a la mesa de diálogo instalada en Venezuela.
“En qué términos?. Con que derechos?. Cuáles son las garantías?”

El problema no es el islam, sino el islamismo; la transformación de un credo en una ideología radical que proyecta pautas normativas y culturales incongruentes con la ley y la constitución de una democracia liberal. Inmigrar supone asimilación, pero la inmigración musulmana reciente la rechaza.

Una vicenda assurda e agghiacciante che arriva dall’Iran. Eppure, dalla galassia femminista e dalla sinistra, che si proclamano paladine dei diritti delle donne, non arriva una parola.
Sinistra, non fare l’ipocrita: se ci sei, batti un colpo. Fai sentire anche tu la tua voce contro il disumano regime degli ayatollah.

Voilà où en sont les Juifs de France. J’arrive à Marseille où je donne, ce soir, une conférence pour le lancement de Mémoires Provisoires. Et je découvre que le lieu est tenu secret et n’est dévoilé à mes lecteurs qu’au terme d’un jeu de piste d’une ahurissante complexité. Merci aux organisateurs du FSJU. Merci à mes anges gardiens, fonctionnaires de la République. Et merci à tous ceux qui feront l’effort de venir. Mais, franchement, cette situation est-elle normale ? Je viens à Marseille, depuis 50 ans, pour chacun de mes livres - jamais ce ne fut dans pareilles conditions ! Ph Blandine Fraysse, 4.4.2024, La Provence

El compromiso de @JMArrighi con la @OEA_oficial y su convicción en el valor del sistema interamericano siempre serán fuente de necesaria inspiración. Un colega, maestro, y amigo, tremendamente generoso con su tiempo, experiencia y sabiduría. Deja un espacio y legado inmenso.
Me entristece profundamente el fallecimiento de Jean Michel Arrighi, Secretario de Asuntos Jurídicos de la @OEA_oficial, un jurista excepcional y un verdadero hijo de nuestra Organización.
Jean Michel dedicó su vida a promover el derecho internacional y fortalecer el Sistema Interamericano, dejando un legado extraordinario que perdurará por generaciones. Hemos perdido no solo a un distinguido colega y amigo, sino también a un querido miembro de la familia de la #OEA.
Mis más sentidas condolencias a su familia y seres queridos.

Blasphemy is not a crime in a liberal democratic system, like Norway's, for example. Moreover, countries with blasphemy laws tend to have the lowest levels of religious freedom. The Nobel committee has lost its normative compass.

¡Vaya con la Nobel!
Navi Pillay, Sept. 2012: “Charlie Hebdo is doubly irresponsible to publish these cartoons.” She called the cartoons “malicious and deliberately provocative.” Pillay “fully understands why people wish to protest strongly against the cartoons.”

Pese a lo que muchos dicen, asistimos a una nueva globalización. Una mega globalización: la de los datos, la información y el conocimiento generado a través de las diversas prestaciones de IA. Un ida y vuelta creador. Pero no la podemos medir! Una mega globalización inmedible
"Authoritarian regimes learn from each other. They share technology and propaganda systems. Behind Maduro stand Cuba, Russia, Iran, China and Hezbollah – providing weapons, surveillance and economic lifelines. They make the regime more robust, and more brutal."
These were the words of the Chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee on 10 December 2025. The Committee does not seem to think that those authoritarian regimes--or Hezbollah or any other terrorist group for that matter--are as brutal and as cruel this year.

Maybe next year they’ll give the Chemistry prize to a Hamas bomb maker.
The Nobel committee chair says they have "great faith" in Navi Pillay's integrity, but whether the Hamas-Israel war can be called a genocide is for the ICJ to decide, not them.
Then why give the Peace Prize to the person whose commission already decided it, with no authority to do so?
This is the same Navi Pillay who:
🚩 Signed a 2020 statement calling on governments to "Sanction Israel," then was appointed a year later to chair the UN inquiry into Israel without disclosing it
🚩 Defended a fellow commissioner who said social media is "controlled largely by the Jewish lobby," calling him "deliberately misquoted." He later apologized for his antisemitism himself
🚩 Ran the 2009 Durban conference that Ahmadinejad opened with an antisemitic speech, after dismissing Jewish groups' warnings as a "lobbying campaign"
🚩 Criticized the US in 2014 for funding Iron Dome to protect Israeli civilians from rockets, with no mention of Hamas firing them
They handed her the world's most famous honour two days after the October 7 anniversary and then said they're not taking a position on what she's known for.
So what do they mean by "peace"?

🚨Niegan solicitud de arresto domiciliario a Cilia Flores…No podia ser de otra manera! A cuanta gente se le ha negado tan siquiera un chequeo médico y aún hoy, que bueno sería que aquellos que tienen poder de decisión, se vieran en el espejo de Maduro-Flores!!!

From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: Mamdani is giving money to organizations that practice antisemitism while pretending they’ll fight it. He’s hostile to Israel and opposed to legitimate efforts to counter antisemitism, writes @zach_kessel.
