Strike confirmed in Peruvian region of Puno
May 30 |
The president of the Unified Front of the Puno Basins, Peru Felix Suasaca, confirmed that this Tuesday there will be what they call a “dry strike” throughout the region, in protest against the repression unleashed by the government of President-designate Dina Boluarte.
According to Suasaca, the protest is being carried out because “there is still no justice for the people who died during the protests against the government” appointed by Dina Boluarte.
He also mentioned that the purpose of this strike is the resignation of the president appointed since last December, the dissolution of the Congress and the call for a constituent assembly.
According to the union leader, “a dry strike paralyzes and there is no movement in each of the jurisdictions where we are, in each district and province included. Those of us who have always protested are told that it is a crime, but, for us, it will never ever be a crime”, he explained.
He informed that the demonstrations in the main cities are going to be carried out according to how each one of the districts are doing, since he said that they are self-convened: “here there are no leaders, we are diligent and we are together with the people and fighting for them”, he said.
On the other hand, he detailed that from midday of this Tuesday the Puno region will be paralyzed, so there will be no vehicular movement, nor commerce, in the 13 provinces united in the strike.
“We here in the Puno region are the resistance, tomorrow we have this dry strike where the 13 provinces are consolidated, therefore, the region will have this dry strike to see that so far there is no justice for the brothers killed in the city of Juliaca,” said Suasaca.
For his part, the general secretary of the Defense Front of the Northern Cone of Arequipa (Fredicon) Felipe Domínguez Chávez, pointed out that next June 14 the protests against the government of Dina Boluarte will be resumed. Leaders and groups from the south, such as Puno, Tacna, Moquegua and Ayacucho, will participate in this Third Seizure of Lima.

Zelenski urges global action after russian ballistic missile strike
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski called on the international community Thursday to “respond” to Russia’s ballistic missile strike on Ukraine, which he said has heightened the “escalation and brutality” of the conflict.
“The world must react. So far, there has been no strong response,” Zelenski lamented in a social media statement.
“We must act. We must pressure. We must push Russia towards real peace, which is only achievable through strength,” he added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed Thursday that Russia had launched a new type of hypersonic ballistic missile against Ukraine in its “non-nuclear configuration.”

Elon Musk plans sweeping cuts to U.S. bureaucracy and spending
Elon Musk has pledged massive cuts to government programs, subsidies, and bureaucracy in his anticipated role as a “State Efficiency” leader, according to an article published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal.
The billionaire entrepreneur plans to target hundreds of billions of dollars in federal spending, including funds for public broadcasting and Planned Parenthood. Musk called government bureaucracy an “existential threat” to American democracy.
Teaming up with fellow businessman and Trump ally Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk aims to streamline federal regulations and implement significant administrative and cost reductions.
“We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. We will serve as external volunteers, not federal officials or employees,” Musk and Ramaswamy stated in the article.

Putin warns of escalation, suggests strikes on western weapon suppliers
Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that the conflict in Ukraine is taking on the characteristics of a “global war,” warning that Russia might target Western nations supplying Ukraine with weapons used in attacks on Russian territory.
These remarks come after a day of heightened tensions, during which Russia launched a state-of-the-art medium-range missile designed to carry a nuclear warhead. However, this particular missile was loaded with conventional explosives.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the missile strike, calling it the action of a “deranged neighbor” using Ukraine as a “military testing ground.”
Earlier, Ukraine accused Russia of attacking the central-eastern city of Dnipro with a missile exhibiting “all the characteristics” of an intercontinental missile, an unprecedented development in the ongoing conflict.
