Miguel Díaz-Canel is delighted with Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s recent victory in Brazil’s presidential electionsto the point that in his first phone call with the South American president, he couldn’t hide his desire to get closer to an old Havana ally.

After congratulating him via his Twitter profile on Sunday evening, The ruler of the island telephoned the newly elected Brazilian president on Monday revealed by the Cuban Presidency in an unusual decision on its social networks.

“Your victory is not just yours: it belongs to Brazil, Latin America and the Caribbean, it is a victory for peace, for Latin American integration, and you can count on Cuba for everything,” Díaz-Canel is heard saying over the phone.

“A hug for you, brother. We will work together and do many things. A hug and see you soon. Congratulations,” the video ends.

The ruler himself had tweeted: “Last night I spoke to Lula full of feelings of victory. I sent him hugs from Raúl, the people and the government of Cuba.”

On Sunday, within minutes of the announcement of the election results, Diaz-Canel tweeted: “Cuba congratulates you, dear colleague. You delayed your victory with cruel methods, but they could not prevent you from winning with referendum. Lula will return, PT will return, social justice will return.”

As of Monday itself, Lula had received calls from several world leaders, including the leaders of France, Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz; Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa; the President of that country, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa; and United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres told EFE.

According to the Workers’ Party (PT), he also contacted United States President Joe Biden, “but the connection failed,” so they would try again later.

In addition to these phone calls, the content of which was not disclosed, as in the Díaz-Canel case, Lula met in person with Argentine President Alberto Fernández in Sao Paulo.

The 77-year-old former mechanical woodturner’s victory received strong institutional support in Brazil and was quickly recognized by the international community within hours of the result being confirmed.

However, President Jair Bolsonaro had yet to comment or acknowledge his defeat as of Tuesday, leading to uncertainty over whether or not he will accept the opinion of the polls.

Havana’s cancellation of the More Doctors program after Bolsonaro came to power in Brazil was a major blow to the Cuban regime’s cofferswhich made millions of dollars in benefits by exporting professionals to this country.

During his campaign, Lula announced that if elected, he would reinstate this program. However, it is not certain that the leadership of a government with a strong opposition and an unfavorable political and institutional panorama will be able to implement all of its projects.

The US Supreme Court has stopped releasing former President Donald Trump’s tax documents to a House committee. At Trump’s request, court president John Roberts yesterday ordered that the IRS tax authority’s disclosure of the documents be halted for the time being.

Trump’s lawyers had already filed an urgent petition with the US Supreme Court to stop the last-minute release. The Congressional Committee now has until November 10 to respond to this motion.

Trump did not release tax returns

An appeals court in Washington last week cleared the way for Trump’s tax records to be released to the committee. They should therefore have been delivered from this Thursday. In recent years, Trump has opposed lower levels of Congress by obtaining information about his tax affairs.

Contrary to usual practice in the United States, real estate developer Trump did not make his income tax returns public as a presidential candidate or after moving into the White House. And to this day he tries to avoid disclosure. Critics therefore suspect he has something to hide.

The Treasury Department under Trump’s successor Joe Biden instructed the IRS last year to turn over the documents to the committee. Trump reacted in court.

After a quiet Monday, more riders took the subway on Tuesday morning and the STM added 5e Train on the yellow line to avoid a possible overflow.

“It’s 10-15% busier than yesterday,” said STM operations manager Alain Gervais.

Mr Gervais was stationed at that nerve center this morning to make sure everything was going well.

Equipped with a radio, he reminded us of a sports coach on the sidelines, observing and directing his players.

Rush hour started around 6:45 a.m., he said.

“We added a 5th train and put four station employees at the counters instead of two to speed up the process. We could even add a 6th train if needed.”

• Hear local journalist Louis-Philippe Messier on QUB radio:

Around 7:30 am the trains were leaving about every three and a half minutes I found.

The cars filled up immediately when the doors opened.

Given the accelerated pace of the descents, it wasn’t “sardine class” (where everyone piles on their feet).

On the other hand, the four station agents (at the counters) were not enough to meet the ticket demand, and long queues of resigned travelers quickly formed.

It was the first of the month and a large number of users wanted to pay their monthly subscription.

The accelerated speed of the trains regularly evacuated the platforms despite the high rush.

Two security guards walked around the platform to control the crowd.

With traffic flowing, the latter were less concerned with “securing” the premises than answering questions from passengers confused by the pricing intricacies of this station where, like Laval, the normal Montreal title doesn’t work.

When my report was finished, I couldn’t buy a ticket with my Opus card: the “little machines” wouldn’t let me.

I had to put up with waiting in line for 17 minutes for a $4.50 one-time pass.

Several trains passed in front of me while I waited.

What can be used to speed up the passage of trains is of little use if it is difficult to gain the right-of-way.

On December 13, 2018, when the Defense Committees of the Republic (CDR) called for a “struggle” to the boycott of the Council of Ministers, which was due to take place a week later in Barcelona, ​​a new investigation was launched before the National Supreme Court entitled “Terrorism”. The Central Educational Court 6, headed by Magistrate Manuel García-Castellón, who followed in the footsteps of these groups born in Catalonia at the start of the illegal referendum of October 1, 2017 and who have already been involved in violent incidents – roadblocks or the attempt to to break into parliament – he received a report from the Guardia Civil. This document warned of the existence of an unknown entity called “Catalan CNI” that was directly “linked” to the regional administration. Thus began some new investigations, which have remained classified for four years, and which have included the search for links between these “subversive” groups and the highest political authorities in the pro-independence movement, such as then-President Quim Torra and his predecessor Carles Puigdemont.

More information

The content of this investigation, the details of which have come to light in recent weeks, has revived the accusations against the two former Catalan presidents of allegedly protecting – from the institution of the Generalitat – these groups, which the armed institution defines as “violent”. . . The summary speaks of collusion and direct contacts, although no formal charges against Torra and Puigdemont are currently known. His environment frames these investigations with an alleged campaign to “criminalize” the independence movement. Gonzalo Boye, attorney for the two former presidents, explained in an article that “nothing is described [en este sumario] it has the slightest criminal appearance” and accused the Civil Guard of “constant misrepresentation of facts and words”.

The germ of the cause. This summary, which includes dozens of phone taps or the installation of spyware on suspects’ cellphones, all approved by the judge, is based on the original thesis that the Torra administration – who took office in May 2018 after a long career as a professional came – independence activism and a history of anti-Spanish writings – backed the self-proclaimed Catalan CNI, which the armed institute said was under scrutiny for “planning subversive and violent actions” to collapse the state. This body was intended to provide the “necessary logistical infrastructure” to occupy and “defend” Parliament, an action that would be carried out by the Tactical Response Team (ERT), a radical cell already prosecuted in another terrorism case being pursued and accused of attempting to make explosives.

Guardia Civil investigators explained to the judge that the Catalan CNI is made up of businessmen, members of the CDR, Mossos or local police officers with links to secessionism. But also that he had contacts in the highest spheres.

This is made clear by the first relevant report to the Court of Justice, which already refers to the head of the Generalitat at the time. The Civil Guard assures in this document that, thanks to telephone calls to investigators, “it became known” that Torra was “secretly” on 9 members of the CDR, including Roger Cumeras, whom the agents also identify as a member of the Catalan CNI. In making that appointment, according to the Armed Institute, the political leader gave them “specific directions and guidelines”: for example, that something “powerful” should be done on the first anniversary of the 1-O referendum, which was to be held a few weeks afterward; and urged them, according to investigators, to set up a “candle” that would allow them to control community territory in the event of a new declaration of independence.

At that time there was enormous tension in Catalonia. The security forces dragged out and failed to prevent the failure of the illegal consultation celebration on October 1, 2017, which led to police complaints against citizens stationed in the schools to prevent the police from confiscating the ballot boxes. With several political leaders of the procés imprisoned and others fleeing Spain, Torra aggravated the conflict with the Generalitat: “You are pushing and you are doing well to push,” the president told a group of CDR on the first anniversary of April 1. October.

Four lines of action. Against this backdrop, already focused on alleged sedition and rebellion, members of the Guardia Civil quickly expanded their investigations beyond the Catalan CNI. In their reports, they describe the existence of a large group of suspects acting under the “proactive, interested and forgiving” collaboration of “Catalan administrative and governmental authorities” with the aim of “planning and promoting major projects” in order to “influence take” to “achieve self-determination”. According to the abstract, it is a kind of alliance where they refer to members of other platforms and organizations – like the Catalan National Assembly (ANC) or groups from the public, business and student sectors -; and that they also have the impulse of the Procés politicians who fled to Belgium.

They all then wanted, according to the Civil Guard, “to launch various undoubtedly subversive strategies, some with obvious insurgent traits”. And four lines of action were presumably marked: promoting “a policy of institutional deadlock with the intention of provoking a situation of instability affecting the state”; the creation of structures that will allow the creation of a “digital Catalan Republic”; the establishment of delegations of the Consell per la República in the various municipalities and counties; and the implementation of the Escuts per la República, a group of people skilled in security matters – like Mossos and City Guards – who “had real capacity to deploy quickly and effectively” to “control the territory” if necessary.

Judge García-Castellón also had an influence on this thesis, which calls for “the consensus, cooperation, consultation and constant exploitation and interference of the highest Catalan political and institutional spheres, which tend towards and promote independence”, “with the aim of control reliably accredited”. and to modulate the global movement of the process undertaken to achieve Catalan independence and the establishment of a republic”.

The hints. The Civil Guard develops its thesis on the contacts that the people examined had with Torra, Puigdemont and its surroundings. Among other clues, the agents highlight, for example, the meeting of one of the suspects, Ramir de Porrata (described as the ideologue of the strategy of “permanent confrontation with the state”) with Elsa Artadi, adviser to the Torra Presidency. The synopsis also reveals that Jaume Cabaní, an engineer who co-led a company (CatGlobal) set up in Belgium to raise funds to help meet the expenses of the former president and fleeing former councillors, presented the tickets two computer scientists who came to Brussels to advise on the design of the digital platform Consell per la República Catalan. And cell phone conversations with members of the hard core of Waterloo (Belgium), such as the fled former city councilor Toni Comín, are also reflected.
