My thoughts are with Chile, suffering from the worst natural disaster since the 2010 earthquake. Every year, the wildfires seem to get worse. https://t.co/rLJ3tnaiVK

[Benedicte Bull @BenedicteBull]

Det gjør vondt å følge med på brannene i Chile. Skogbranner er vanlig på denne tiden av året, men de blir verre og verre pga klimaendringer og en menneskeskapt vannkrise.

Maduro: Milei is an error in the history of Latin America.
It takes one to know one.
- 171 000 Venezuelans have fled to Argentina under Maduro
- 8 million have fled in total
- Economy shrunk by 70%
Let us see if Milei can match that.

[Benedicte Bull @BenedicteBull]

Nei, NRK, Javier Milei er ikke konservativ. Han er høyreradikal og vil gjennomføre en libertariansk revolusjon in Argentina. Med seg som visepresident har han diktatur-apologet Victoria Villarruel. Det kan bli mer kaos og vold en liberalisme og frihet . https://t.co/7w7XRcl3nd

Fantastiske nyheter! Verdens nest største lyktingekrise kan gå mot slutten.
Etter at regjering & opposisjon i Venezuela kunngjorde avtale i går støttet av @Utenriksdept @NOREFno, ble avtalen med USA kunngjort i går:
Sanksjonene midlertidig opphevet (1/2) https://t.co/RdCS9VY8CD

50 år sidan militær­kuppet i Chile: – Har ikkje vore eit oppgjer https://t.co/XFXG1HSefJ

[Norway MFA @NorwayMFA]

A strong message of solidarity from Norway to all Chileans commemorating 50 years since the military coup.

After the coup, Norway assisted many of those who needed protection and fled due to prosecution.
Today, Chile and Norway are close allies.

Por la Democracia, siempre.

Lise Klaveness of Norway is a rarity in soccer: a woman leading a national federation. A few weeks into her post she began pointing out her sport’s failures, making powerful enemies. But she’s continuing to speak up.

Noruega, 22 de julio 2011: 77 personas fueron asesinadas.
¿La respuesta?
"Nunca renunciar a la democracia. Mostrar que el país pasará esta prueba. La respuesta a la violencia es aún más democracia y humanidad, pero nunca ingenuidad".
