On Friday, Peru's Congress rejected the proposed constitutional reform to move elections forward to December 2023. "I demand that the vote to bring elections up be reconsidered," Boluarte said, criticizing Congress members who had previously abstained from voting. "We want the immediate closure of Congress; we want the resignation of Dina Boluarte," Rene Mendoza, a protester at the border with Bolivia, told Reuters.

☆ ‘Next at the Kennedy Center: A Joni Mitchell Songbook’ Review: Tribute to Her Jazz-Folk Fusion
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

Like a bouquet of gilded lilies, “A Joni Mitchell Songbook” offers a tribute to Ms. Mitchell as well as a bit of misdirection. The subject, now 79 years old, does not appear, which is hardly a shock, but neither is the show a songbook in the customary sense. He is on hand to conduct the National Symphony Orchestra and several guests putting their own vocal spin on the songs. It makes for one lush hour of Mitchell. Ms. Mitchell, once upon a time the ethereal blond poster-girl of folkies, was never easy to mimic, thanks largely to her open guitar tunings and singular soprano; and once she became a Charles Mingus acolyte she morphed into a sui generis jazzman.

PUEBLA, Mexico — It is, according to UNESCO, the oldest public library in the Americas, tucked away from the street front at a cultural center in the historic heart of this Mexican city. “Everything that was imagined at that time is in the library,” said Juan Fernández del Campo, the library’s current manager. Palafox’s passion for books is evident in a quote from him, written on a mosaic outside the library. This was not the time for Mexico to raise its wings toward freedom of thought,” the library manager said. The library reopened in 2002; two years later it was added by UNESCO to its Memory of the World Register.

Curtea Supremă a Venezuelei a cerut extrădarea opozantului Leopoldo Lopez, condamnat de justiţia venezueleană la 14 ani de închisoare, în contextul manifestaţiilor împotriva regimului lui Nicolas Maduro, şi refugiat de şapte luni în Spania, informează joi AFP. "Curtea Supremă (...) cere Regatului Spaniei extrădarea cetăţeanului Leopoldo Eduardo Lopez Mendoza, pentru ca acesta să ispăşească restul pedepsei la care a fost condamnat, de 8 ani, 6 luni, 25 de zile şi 12 ore", se spune într-un comunicat al Curţii. În 2017 el a fost plasat în arest la domiciliu şi apoi a participat la lovitura de stat ratată a unui grup de militari împotriva lui Maduro, în aprilie 2019. După eşuarea loviturii de stat, el s-a refugiat la ambasada Spaniei, unde a rămas până în octombrie 2020. La câteva zile după ce Lopez a sosit la Madrid, Spania şi-a înlocuit ambasadorul cu un însărcinat cu afaceri, susţinând că nu recunoaşte legitimitatea lui Maduro.

Preşedinţia germană lasă moştenire un acord pentru planul de recuperare şi buget comunitar pentru perioada 2021-2027, însă sarcina este departe de a fi finalizată. Mii de britanici deţin o a doua reşedinţă în Portugalia şi există o importantă comunitate de imigranţi portughezi în Regatul Unit. Portugalia are relaţii puternice şi cu Brazilia, cu care, în semestrul în care Portugalia a deţinut ultima preşedinţie europeană prin rotaţie, în 2007, a organizat un summit în care s-a decis consolidarea relaţiilor economice şi comerciale. "Deşi este o ţară mică şi la periferia Europei, Portugalia este o fereastră pentru economia globală", susţine Antonio Mendoza. Portugalia nu va uita nici de alte două aspecte care au fost axele Uniunii Europene în ultimii ani, tranziţiile digitală şi ecologică.
