We have the knowledge. We have the technologies. What we need now is speed, scale, and the courage to break with old dependencies.

On the first anniversary of the birth into heaven of our dear #PopeFrancis, his words and actions remain written in our hearts. We carry on his legacy by always proclaiming the joy of the Gospel, announcing God’s mercy, and promoting fraternity among all men and women.

@BeatriceVonn97 Let's continue our conversation via direct message to get to know each other better. I use X because I am interested in international politics. There are so many conflicts that require a solution. Private pictures I am sharing on Instagram and Facebook.

Hoje, eu e @JanjaLula visitamos a Basílica da Sagrada Família.
Um momento de paz, oração e reflexão em um lugar que inspira união e esperança. Deixei Barcelona com a certeza da importância de estarmos juntos, com respeito e solidariedade.

O Papa Leão XIV disse que a democracia corre o risco de se tornar uma máscara para o domínio das elites econômicas e tecnológicas.
Nosso papel é desmascarar essas forças.
Desmascarar aqueles que dizem estar ao lado do povo, mas governam para os mais ricos.
Que se dizem patriotas, mas põem a soberania à venda e pedem sanções contra o próprio país.
Que proclamam defender a família, mas fecham os olhos para a violência contra as mulheres e o abuso sexual de crianças.
Que se declaram donos da verdade, mas espalham mentiras e desinformação.
Que se consideram homens de Deus, mas não têm amor ao próximo.
Que falam em liberdade, mas perseguem quem é diferente.
Temos que substituir o desalento pelo sonho. O ódio pela esperança.
Projetar um futuro melhor.
Um futuro com justiça social, igualdade e democracia.
Não como palavras de ordem, mas como realidade viva.
Uma pessoa não envelhece pela quantidade de anos, mas pela falta de motivação.
A política só tem sentido quando se tem uma causa.
A minha causa é a democracia. A minha causa é a liberdade. A minha causa é a igualdade. A minha causa é garantir que todas as pessoas sejam respeitadas.

A new United Nations 🇺🇳Secretary General will be elected later this year for a five-year term starting on January 1, 2027.
There are currently 4⃣ declared candidates. Next week the SG race reaches a pivotal moment with the kick off of two days of "interactive dialogues" with the candidates at UNHQ in New York.
Here is how it will work⬇️
The President of the General Assembly, Annalena Baerbock, will convene the interactive dialogues.
Each of the four current candidates will have 3 hours to take questions from civil society and UN Member States who request to address each candidate(s). This will take place in the Trusteeship Council Chamber.
Each candidate will have 10 minutes for an opening statement to lay out their vision for the UN followed by the Q&A portion.
The President of the General Assembly has suggested the discussion be focused on the three pillars of the UN - peace and security, development, and human rights.
⬇️Here are the time slots for each candidate⬇️
⚠️Tuesday April 21
10am - 1 pm - Michelle Bachelet - Chilean, and two term former President of Chile, former head of UN Women and previously High Commissioner for Human Rights. Nominated by: Chile, Brazil, Mexico. (Chile later withdrew nomination)
3 pm - 6 pm - Rafael Grossi - Argentine and currently Director General of IAEA. Nominated by: Argentina
⚠️Wednesday April 22
10am - 1 pm - Rebeca Grynspan - Costa Rican and Secretary General of UN Trade and Development (she recently took a leave to run for SG) and former Vice President of Costa Rica. Nominated by: Costa Rica.
3 pm - 6 pm - Macky Sall - Senegalese and former President of his country. Nominated by: Burundi
After each candidate have completed their interactive dialogue they will be given an opportunity to take make remarks and take questions from the media at the UN GA media stakeout area.
The dialogues will be broadcast live on UNTV webtv.un.org/en
All dialogues will have live interpretation in all six UN official languages
Regional rotation? While it is not written in the UN Charter, rotating the UN Secretary General by region has become an important informal rule and powerful diplomatic precedent that ensures different parts of the world take turns leading the organization. It is currently the turn for the Latin America and Caribbean group; hence why three of the four candidates are from Latin America.
A woman? Since the founding of the UN in 1946 there have been nine Secretary General's. None have been women. There is a big push for a woman this time around. "It's time," is the public and private thinking by many diplomats / UN staff who walk the halls.
Could more candidates run? Short answer is, yes. While the President of the General Assembly has set an informal deadline of April for candidates to be nominated, nothing prevents a "late entry" into the race.

Me reúno con el presidente de España Pedro Sanchez para hablar de las amenazas al proyecto de un democracia global, y de aspectos concretos de las relaciones económicas en España y Colombia.
Ya España es el segundo país inversor en Colombia.
La experiencia económica de los progresismos de México Brasil, España y Colombia ha puesto a nuestros países por encima del promedio del crecimiento mundial con una disminución de la desigualdad social y la reducción del hambre y la pobreza de manera sustancial.
