Geoengineering, El Niño, and Extreme Weather Events from the Americas to Europe

by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio

VERSIONE IN ITALIANO

“Our Earth is dying. Even NOAA admits that the super El Niño — a product of geoengineering — can alter the global climate and that the planet’s life-support system has reached a catastrophic tipping point. Global climate terrorists within the US military are intensifying their warfare operations.”

So begins a brief investigation by American Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea (Source 1)—work that has been suppressed by mainstream media, even though the articles she publishes on her Substack are consistently based on official papers. It was she who published a confidential US Air Force dossier titled “Weather as a Force Multiplier” (link at the bottom of the article).

This document confirms, beyond any reasonable doubt, the military use of weather—a history traced back to Operation Popeye in Vietnam by our geopolitics and intelligence contributor at Gospa News International, Dr. Darini Rajasingham-Senanayake, an academic at the University of Colombo (Sri Lanka)…

It is worth recalling that the US Air Force also distinguished itself by publishing a study on laboratory-created recombinant chimeric viruses—the very nature of SARS-CoV-2, which was found to be spiked with HIV…

Mihalcea adds: “Not only does ball-sized hail constitute an act of terrorism against civilians, but the toxic substances being sprayed—toxic metals, graphene, and polymers—are killing humans, plants, and animals. For years, I have maintained that it is pointless to stop biological weapons linked to COVID-19 if we do not put an end to geoengineering.“

Today, we were supposed to focus specifically on the potential correlation between the HAARP station in Alaska and the alarming intensification of El Niño; however, we will cover this in the next episode because, while searching for documentation on the subject, we uncovered other detailed “scientific scoops”!

El Niño is a periodic warming phenomenon occurring between March and February at intervals of two to seven years; it stands in contrast to La Niña, which causes cooling. This year, the phenomenon is being intensified by equatorial Pacific Ocean temperatures that are already above average.

Hurricane Isaias leaves hundreds of thousands of people without power in Alabama, Georgia and Florida, with all three states declaring emergencies Flooding is a continuing risk, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says as he warns of a “very hazardous situation”, according to BBC.

Winds peaked at 120mph (193km/h) before Isaias made landfall in Florida late on Friday – images show houses battered by winds and felled trees.

Two people are dead in Alabama, according to the governor, while two more have been killed in separate incidents in Florida. Isaias peaked as a category three hurricane, bringing heavy rain and powerful wind, but has since been downgraded

Pentagon-funded electromagnetic bombardment: as dangerous as geomagnetic storms

While researching geoengineering, we uncovered scientific studies that—when viewed together—suggest a potential link between the activity of the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) and alterations to the ionosphere, space weather, and the Earth’s climate…

By synthesizing the astrophysical data gathered, we can state that artificial electromagnetic bombardment generated by the Alaska station can produce dangeorous effects similar to geomagnetic storms originating from the Sun or other planets.

If you missed any of the nine previous reports in the HAARP Dossier, you can revisit one of the early ones—“TOO MANY FLOODS AFTER DAZZLING AURORAS MADE BY HAARP. Dangerous Tests Funded by US NSF. As Solar project in EU“—as well as the most recent entry: “HAARP Dossier – 9: Cloudbursts, Tornadoes, and Lightning Across Italy, the EU, the USA, and Nepal (Video) Following PARS Tests in Alaska for the Third Consecutive Year—No Correlation? (at the moment in Italian only but avoidable in English with machine stranslation)“

Recent videos regarding the floods in Spain

In short, the immensely powerful HAARP antennas—located at a military base in Gakona, Alaska, and managed by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) on behalf of the US Air Force (which nonetheless continues to fund experiments alongside the US government’s National Science Foundation, or NSF)—conduct multiple experiments each year involving the geomagnetic bombardment of the ionosphere.

“The ionosphere stretches roughly 50 to 400 miles above Earth’s surface, right at the edge of space. Along with the neutral upper atmosphere, the ionosphere forms the boundary between Earth’s lower atmosphere — where we live and breathe — and the vacuum of space.” (NASA)

As this is a program funded and utilized by the US Pentagon, we are unaware of any scientist ever publishing research on the risks associated with these activities.

TOO MANY FLOODS AFTER DAZZLING AURORAS MADE BY HAARP. Dangerous Tests Funded by US NSF. As Solar project in EU

With each of our investigations, however, we uncover new, unsettling secrets hidden within the many communications—ostensibly about safety—regarding geoengineering activities; activities described by them as mere study and research, but which we—along with certain European scientists who urged caution—interpret as manipulation.

Indeed, those scientists’ calls for prudence were significant enough to prompt the Pentagon (the US Department of Defense) to relinquish control of the controversial facility in 2015.

«The HAARP facility can generate artificial heating in the atmosphere to enable the study of the variability of the atmosphere, the energetic electron distribution, and how the HF radio wave propagation would be affected. The HAARP HF heater is currently the only available source of controlled ELF/VLF waves available to scientists for magnetospheric wave injection» reads on the official website as we reported in a previous investigation.

The HAARP station’s Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI) is a massive array of 180 radio antennas spread across a 33-acre site; last August, it conducted PARS (Polar Aeronomy and Radio Science) tests for the third consecutive year prior to the onset of the flood season in Europe and across the globe, a topic we covered in our previous article, *HAARP DOSSIER – 9*.

That is not all. It conducted other tests that were not publicized as part of the official research campaigns and can only be tracked on the website by experts; this is because the UAF is required to issue a “transmission notice” to amateur radio operators, given that electromagnetic tests alter radio frequencies—and much else besides…

Today, we reveal two highly technical yet fundamental points regarding the dangerous HAARP activity—though we hope to present them in a more accessible way, even at the risk of minor scientific inaccuracies:

  • the antennas can generate a devastating electromagnetic power output of 3.6 gigawatts—equivalent to a small power plant or the electricity consumption of 12,000 homes
  • high-frequency transmissions can “exceed f0F2” that is “the critical frequency of the Earth’s ionospheric F2 layer”
  • a study conducted by university physicists and NASA researchers analyzed “space weather modeling capabilities” regarding “geomagnetic storms,” ​​focusing specifically on the critical nature of the f0F2 factor
  • other studies highlight the dangerous impacts of geomagnetic storms on Earth

The Hidden Experiment Before the Floods

«The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) will be conducting a research campaign August 25-27 UTC, with operating times specified in the table below. Operating frequencies will vary, but all HAARP transmissions will be between 2.8 MHz and 10 MHz».

This is what was stated in a “transmission notice” dated August 24, 2026 (following our Investigation No. 9) a notice that is effectively hidden from anyone unfamiliar with the website (Source 2).

Not only is this experiment unmentioned on the homepage—which still displays the previous PARS test from August 4–13, 2026, that we had reported on Italian 9 DOSSIER.

But the “Research Campaigns” section has not been updated since the PARS campaign of August 2024. How can such secrecy be explained?

Blatant screenshots from the official HAARP website.

This is because, as revealed in a world exclusive by Gospa News, the geomagnetic bombardment experiments of May 2024 coincided with the appearance of dazzling, anomalous aurorae borealis visible across much of the Northern Hemisphere.

However, UAF management blamed an ongoing solar storm and denied that their tests had triggered or intensified the auroras or that, by interfering with the solar storm, they might be linked to subsequent atmospheric disasters. Since then, transparency regarding the HAARP station has become optional…

DAZZLING AURORAS DEBUNKED! Artificially Caused by HAARP & US NSF. Not by a Solar Storm as CNN Told

I reiterate—for the umpteenth time—that the danger inherent in these electromagnetic bombardments of the ionosphere lies in the fact that no scientific study has ever been conducted on potential short-, medium-, or long-term adverse effects.

At present, Gospa News’ investigations represent the only source of scientific analysis regarding the temporal coincidences between HAARP experiments and anomalous—sometimes even catastrophic—atmospheric events occurring in the weeks and months immediately following them.

This was the case with another test in January 2026—also kept “hidden” and detectable only via the “transmission notice”—which preceded floods and landslides in Europe and the USA.

Electromagnetic power equivalent to that of 12,000 homes can be unleashed from Alaska.

Now, however, we have identified a study highlighting the critical nature of the foF2 factor as altered by tests conducted at the Alaska station.

“Operating frequencies will vary, but all HAARP transmissions will be between 2.8 MHz and 10 MHz. Actual transmit days and times are highly variable based on real-time ionospheric and/or geomagnetic conditions. All information is subject to change.” reads the official notice dated August 24, 2026 (screenshot above).

“Note that due to the number of experiments and the need to make real-time schedule adjustments based on ionospheric conditions, no frequencies are specified in the table below. The included transmission notice supplement contains information on the frequencies HAARP is authorized to transmit. HAARP transmissions will only occur on our authorized frequencies”.

HAARP DOSSIER – 9. CYCLONES, LANDSLIDES and POLAR VORTEX after New SECRET U.S. MILITARY TESTS. Electromagnetic Bombing from Alaska Station Before Climate Disasters

The communication appears quite generic, yet the notes below specify that “The emission bandwidth may be up to 46 kHz; the actual value depends on the frequency, modulation and experiment requirements”

So far, so good — given that this electromagnetic emission is well below that of a 5G installation (700 MHz, or 700,000 kHz) — but that is not the alarming indicator…

The powerful HAARP radio-wave transmitter in Alaska

At the point 3 we read: “The authorized Effective Radiated Power (ERP) varies from 457 MW at the lower frequencies up to 3.6 GW at the higher frequencies; the actual power depends on the experiment requirements but will be ≤ authorized limit”

“3.6 GW—or 3,600 megawatts (MW)—represents an enormous amount of power, potentially very dangerous if not managed correctly through industrial infrastructure and specific safety systems.”

Google Gemini’s AI issues this warning, reminding us that this is equivalent to 36 million watts (or 36,000 kilowatts) “the power generated by a medium-sized power plant (such as a large wind or solar farm), capable of powering approximately 12,000 homes simultaneously.”

The Space Weather Modeling by Ionosphere “Critical foF2 Frequency” Altered by HAARP

Let us look at the explanation provided in the caption of the image from the University of Alaska Fairbanks regarding the August experiment (Source 2):

The table for the test announced by HAARP on August 24, 2026—the day before the activity began

In short, this means interference with satellites and all forms of satellite communication.

It is essentially a “Star Wars”-style tool, given that without Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network, Ukraine—which lacks its own space-based spy stations—would be left blind…

However, the issue of alterations to this foF2 factor is clearly explained in an older study published by the scientific journal *AGU Advancing Earth and Space Science* in its “Space Weather” section.

The study—authored by J. S. Shim of The Catholic University of America and NASA GSFC (Greenbelt, MD, USA), along with other NASA scientists—is titled “Validation of Ionospheric Specifications During Geomagnetic Storms: TEC and foF2 During the March 2013 Storm Event” (Source 3).

Abstract of the 2018 Shim et al. study – link between sources – Source 3

That study, published in 2018, makes no reference whatsoever to the HAARP activity in Alaska—given that operations had only just resumed at the time following the transfer from the US Air Force to the University of Alaska Fairbanks—yet it helps mere mortals like us (laypeople when it comes to physics) to at least grasp the importance, and therefore the potential danger, of the foF2 factor.

Let us look at the research abstract:

«To address challenges of assessing space weather modeling capabilities, the Community Coordinated Modeling Center is leading a newly established International Forum for Space Weather Modeling Capabilities Assessment» and this in itself is a curious news item containing alarming words that smack of geoengineering a thousand light-years away…

But it continues:

«This paper presents preliminary results of validation of modeled foF2 (F2 layer critical frequency) and TEC (total electron content) during the first selected 2013 March storm event (17 March 2013)». In this study, we used eight ionospheric models ranging from empirical to physics-based, coupled ionosphere-thermosphere and data assimilation models. The quantities we considered are TEC and foF2 changes and percentage changes compared to quiet time background, and the maximum and minimum percentage changes. In addition, we considered normalized percentage changes of TEC».

A Gigantic Space-Warfare Jammer Capable of Altering Electrons (TEC), Satellites, and GPS

Therefore, if foF2 levels rise during a geomagnetic storm, then—by a simple, self-evident philosophical syllogism—artificially exceeding that threshold (as HAARP admitted in the notes regarding its latest test on August 24, 2026) should or could trigger a similarly dangerous space weather event!

To better understand the study’s findings, let us consult the Space Weather website of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)—the U.S. Department of Commerce agency that studies and attempts to forecast weather events.

«The Total Electron Content (TEC) is the total number of electrons present along a path between a radio transmitter and receiver. Radio waves are affected by the presence of electrons. The more electrons in the path of the radio wave, the more the radio signal will be affected. For ground to satellite communication and satellite navigation, TEC is a good parameter to monitor for possible space weather impacts» states NOAA’s Space Weather service (Source 4).

NOAA Space Weather – Real-time TEC monitoring (Source 4).

“The TEC in the ionosphere is modified by changing solar Extreme Ultra-Violet radiation, geomagnetic storms, and the atmospheric waves that propagate up from the lower atmosphere. The TEC will therefore depend on local time, latitude, longitude, season, geomagnetic conditions, solar cycle and activity, and troposphere conditions. The propagation of radio waves is affected by the ionosphere. (..) The change in the path and velocity of radio waves in the ionosphere has a big impact on the accuracy of satellite navigation systems such as GPS/GNSS”. states the US government website.

From these few lines, two definitive concepts emerge:

  • TEC can be altered by “upward-propagating atmospheric waves” and thus also by HAARP’s geomagnetic bombardments;
  • with near-absolute certainty, the HAARP station, powerful enough to exceed the foF2 critical frequency, thereby influencing TEC and “impacting space weather” is at the very least a geospatial weapon capable of acting as a “gigantic” jammer (the frequency-disrupting device used by terrorists and intelligence agencies to interfere with mobile phone and other digital device communications).

The Dangerous Impacts of Space Weather on Earth

Here is what the AI ​​Gemini writes on the subject:

Space weather—driven primarily by solar activity (flares, solar wind, and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs)—directly affects the geospace environment and terrestrial technologies.

The interaction of solar plasma with Earth’s magnetic field generates spectacular auroras—both the *borealis* and *australis*—which are sometimes visible even at mid-latitudes during peak storm activity.

We return to the subject of auroras, the “core mission” of HAARP, which states that “high-frequency transmissions often rely on the critical plasma frequency for the F2 region (foF2), as measured by the Gakona ionosonde.”

For someone like me—having written 96 investigative reports on the lab-engineered SARS-CoV-2—reading these statements about the interaction between immense electromagnetic power (3.6 megawatts) and solar activity is truly terrifying.

Google AI Gemini also warns that geomagnetic storms can cause many damages to out planet:

  • Power grids: Geomagnetic storms induce electric currents in the ground that can overload and damage distribution grid transformers.
  • Satellites and telecommunications: High-energy charged particles damage onboard electronics, cause temporary or permanent malfunctions, and disrupt GPS signals and radio communications.

The Damage Caused by Geomagnetic Storms

But I am not the only one pointing out the danger of space weather impacts on Earth…

In recent days, we debunked a sensational piece of fake news regarding the explosion of an American spy satellite—a story hastily published by the website *Sorvegliati Spaziali (Space Checks)* after it was misled by Gemini AI. We feel somewhat indebted to them, given the exceptional work they usually do as partners of the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) of Rome (Italy); today, we cite them to provide a detailed scientific explanation of the phenomena that the AI ​​had previously reported in a crude and inaccurate manner.

“Space weather refers to the physical state of the space occupied by Earth and the planets of the Solar System—a region permeated by the solar wind, a continuous stream of electrically charged particles (in a state known as plasma) confined by the analogous ‘interstellar wind’ within a massive bubble called the heliosphere,” reads the entry on Space Meteorology (Source 5).

For the sake of brevity, we will skip the lengthy section explaining magnetic field activity linked to the Sun’s rotation and sunspots, which “can release magnetic energy during chromospheric eruptions (so-called flares), resulting in particle acceleration and the emission of electromagnetic radiation.”

“Enormous ‘plasma bubbles’—known as CMEs or Coronal Mass Ejections—can be accelerated toward the planets. When a planet possesses a magnetic field that acts as a genuine shield against incoming space particles, this field becomes compressed, triggering magnetic storms.“

Shortly after the CME struck, the sky above Kiruna, Sweden, exploded with auroras after a strong (G3) geomagnetic storm is in progress on Oct. 10th, 2026 with a chance of escalating to severe (G4) if current trends continue. A dense CME hit Earth earlier in the day, sparking this significant event. Mid-latitude observers with dark skies should be alert for naked-eye auroras – SpaceWeather.com

Finally, we turn to the shimmering skies: their varying color shades depend on radio-frequency intensity—as we highlighted in our analysis of a table regarding HAARP investigations, and as is evident from the table published earlier in this article.

“On Earth, polar auroras appear as delicate, multicolored curtains; their luminosity is generated in the ionosphere by atoms and molecules excited by solar particles that manage to penetrate the magnetic shield. (…) A disturbed ionosphere affects the quality of radio communications—for instance, by making GPS-based positioning problematic. Furthermore, intense ionospheric electric currents can induce significant additional currents in power lines, thereby triggering blackouts.”

VIDEO – Space Weather: The Geomagnetic Storms of 2024–2025

Rosanna Rispoli, a researcher at the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) of Rome, explains space weather and the solar geomagnetic storms that give rise to the aurora borealis and aurora australis in a video released on YouTube.

In the video, she highlights the intensity of these phenomena between 2024 and 2025; it is worth noting that these are precisely the years during which HAARP conducted the highest number of experiments.

The video also refers to the intense aurora borealis—”visible at an unusual latitude”—of May 2024; this occurred at the peak of a solar storm but also during one of the most controversial tests conducted by the Alaska station, forcing UAF management to deny a correlation that seemed obvious even to laypeople…

HAARP Experiments & Red Auroras: UAF confirmed NSF Dangerous Researches but even Denied Glaring correlations

It is baffling that experts fail to even hypothesize a possible link between these exceptional space events and HAARP experiments; yet, this can only be explained by the fear of challenging a Pentagon project.

NASA Scientist: “Turbulence and the Impact of Geomagnetic Storms on Earth”

However, there is a striking new development regarding the impact of space weather on our planet.

“According to a new statistical study published today in *Nature* (July 15, 2026 – Ed.),we are underestimating the potential consequences of severe geomagnetic storms on Earth. The cause appears to be a combination of measurement errors regarding the solar wind—which drives these storms—physical inferences, and a statistical phenomenon known as ‘regression to the mean,'” summarizes Valentina Guglielmo in an article published by INAF’s online news outlet (Source 6).

«Several processes occur between the point where we measure solar wind intensity—the Lagrange L1 point—and the magnetopause, the point where the solar wind strikes Earth’s outer atmosphere,» explains Nithin Sivadas, a researcher in the Department of Physics at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., and the paper’s lead author, speaking to *Media INAF* (Gospa News translation from Italian).

The article published by the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) in Rome – Source 6

«Some of these processes can have a systematic effect on reducing intensity, while others—such as turbulence—can have a random effect, causing stochastic variations in solar wind intensity. We focus exclusively on the processes that cause random variations. Phenomena driving random fluctuations in solar wind intensity measured between L1 and Earth’s vicinity include, for example, the solar wind’s direction, its variable structure, and turbulence closer to Earth.»

«Since these factors introduce random variations, scientists previously hypothesized that, on average, underestimations would cancel out overestimations, allowing us to relate the measured average solar wind intensity to its effects on Earth without worrying about random fluctuations. However, our paper argues that this is not entirely true.»

In the study’s abstract, astrophysicist Sivadas—who also works at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland—and his colleagues write an even more unsettling sentence regarding “statistical bias”:

“Our results reveal that the data analysis underpinning saturation theories is affected by a non-linear bias, thereby calling the validity of such theories into question. When uncertainties are corrected, it emerges that Earth’s response to solar wind forcing is consistently linear and that the impact of extreme geomagnetic storms can be double what was previously believed (Source 7).”

Abstract of the study by Sivadas et al. – link below – Source 7

We refer astrophysics enthusiasts and professionals to the complex scientific paper itself; we cite it here solely to refute the mainstream “mantra” claiming that extreme climate changes are driven exclusively by human behavior (certainly a contributing factor) rather than by solar activity—and, by extension, the military geoengineering that mimics it...

Just as with mRNA Covid vaccines, when science truly gets serious and rigorously tests every hypothesis, “politically convenient” certainties begin to crumble…

This “scientific scoop” emerges at a time when HAARP is altering space weather by toying with solar storms—much like “sorcerer’s apprentices” enhancing lethal viruses in a lab—and bombarding the ionosphere, whose primary function is to reflect long-distance radio waves and protect Earth by shielding it from a portion of solar radiation.

Study by STEREO Researchers (EU project): “Impacts Surrounding the Clouds Need to Be Studied”

Confirming our suspicions and the many unknowns inherent in space weather, here is a final key insight from another study published on the European Commission’s CORDIS website. For the sake of brevity, we cite only the conclusions, which refer to a solar eruption and “Coronal Mass Ejections” (CMEs).

Research funded and published by the European Commission – Source 8

«Light associated with an eruption takes eight minutes to reach Earth’s magnetosphere. However, CMEs can take up to five days to cover the distance to our planet. The solar wind acts on these clouds of superheated plasma like a current opposing a boat’s motion, slowing down the faster ones. STEREO scientists have discovered that the impacts occurring around these clouds must be taken into account to “predict” arrival times with greater accuracy (Source 8)».

«From the constant stream of electrically charged particles known as solar wind to unpredictable CMEs, Earth feels the impact of our stellar companion—an influence that extends far beyond mere light and heat».

This is what scientists from the European Commission-funded STEREO (Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory) mission report (Source 8), implicitly confirming that solar electromagnetic emissions impact Earth’s atmosphere; an effect that, however, can also be artificially replicated by HAARP during Pentagon-funded tests through the alteration of the ionosphere’s “foF2 critical frequency” (as seen in the 2018 Shim et al. study cited above).

The defense strategy of the Alaska station’s proponents has consistently been the same: solar geomagnetic storms are far more powerful—measured in terawatts—and thus vastly exceed the 3.6-gigawatt limit imposed on the UAF.

Yet this remains merely a hypothesis—just like our own—given that until recently (prior to the STEREO and Sivada studies), the prevailing view was that solar flares could not dangerously impact Earth’s atmosphere and clouds…

True science ought to analyze both possibilities; however, were an astrophysicist to discuss the safety of the Pentagon’s projects in Alaska, they would—at the very least—lose their job.

They would also risk premature death, much like the scientists who identified SARS-CoV-2 as a lab-engineered pathogen—foremost among them Luc Montagnier—linking the COVID-19 pandemic to decades-long experiments conducted by DARPA, the US Department of Defense’s military agency.

Japanese Scientists: “Connection Between Geomagnetic Storms and Earthquakes”

And finally…the kicker: Amarus in Fundo!

A group of researchers from a Japanese university has proposed a theoretical model exploring a possible link between solar storms and earthquakes. They suggest that, under specific conditions, ionospheric disturbances could help trigger seismic events that are already “on the brink” of occurring.

We are not providing details on this study here, as it will be the main topic of the next Gospa News investigation (subscribe to the newsletter), especially in light of the now-alarming seismic activity along the Pacific Ring of Fire…

In this specific context, we move from HAARP to HARP—the Alaska Earthquake Center—which is based right inside the UAF station in Gakona that we discussed in our previous investigation.

Could it be that the “crazy conspiracy theorists”—who blamed earthquakes on those dangerous, mysterious antennas on the American Arctic peninsula—actually had a scientifically valid point?

A curious coincidence in timing… between earthquakes, auroras, and HAARP experiments

If that turns out to be the case, Gospa News will aim to prove it—relying, as always, on credible international scientific studies, just as we did for all the “Wuhan-Gates” investigations into lab-engineered SARS-CoV-2 and the harms associated with mRNA vaccines.

Digital surveillance and data leaks may seem far removed from everyday life, but they are becoming increasingly common. In Venezuela, for example, authorities blocked messaging apps and social media platforms including Signal, X, TikTok and Telegram, as well as YouTube, VPN services and websites. In Nicaragua, independent media outlets had their domains blocked. In Paraguay, a leak from the electoral authorities exposed the data of nearly seven million people. And in Argentina, more than 665,000 medical records were put up for sale.

NO SAFE REAR: Moscow’s Shadow War From Starlink to Prison Cells

9 October 2026 at 19:00

Russia is seeking support for its war effort abroad – and threatening retaliation beyond Ukraine. Reports of foreign labor in drone factories, proposals to counter Starlink, and allegations of overseas recruitment show different ways Moscow could sustain its military effort and put pressure on its opponents.

Nowhere Far Enough

On October 9, Mikhail Zvinchuk, founder of the Russian military Telegram channel Rybar, was detained in Montenegro. Montenegrin authorities accused his team of using media work to interfere in the country’s politics. Rybar said they had come legally to film at Cetinje Monastery and had submitted an official filming request. Moscow’s response explains why this matters: Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, suggested replenishing an “exchange fund” with Europeans and Americans to recover detained Russians. One arrest became a warning about others to come.

Mikhail Zvinchuk, founder of Rybar, a Russian pro-war Telegram channel covering the war in Ukraine, was detained in Montenegro on October 9

Five days earlier, Medvedev had delivered the orbital version of that warning. If Russia’s Rassvet constellation were destroyed, American Starlink satellites would “come tumbling down like ornaments from a dried-up Christmas tree.” “Space is a very crowded place,” he added. “We need to be mutually courteous.” Kiev had sought sanctions and restrictions, not announced a satellite attack. Moscow was putting a military threat behind its demand that Russian communications infrastructure be left alone.

The link is not between a blogger and a satellite. It is between two threats of retaliation: damage our network and yours becomes a target; detain our people and yours may become bargaining chips. Moscow is challenging the assumption that pressure on Russia can remain a one-way transaction.

Partners Behind the Front

The space threat has a practical backdrop. Leaked documents published in July describe a closed Russian-Chinese military forum in Guangzhou in November 2023. Chinese researchers proposed several ways to counter Starlink, from legal pressure and jamming to cyberattacks and destruction. Their hardest problem was also the simplest: how to disable satellites more cheaply and quickly than SpaceX could replace them. They do not show that these systems were built or deployed.

Visualization of the planned Starlink Generation 2 constellation

Russia and China have different strengths to offer. Moscow brings battlefield experience and air-defense knowledge; Beijing brings electronics, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing capacity. Russia can show what works under fire. China can help turn those lessons into equipment made at scale. A sixth closed forum was reportedly planned for the fall in St. Petersburg.

This is why repeated technical meetings matter more than dramatic threats. A shared design, tested and improved over several years, could outlast the war that first made it useful. For Moscow, the goal is to weaken an American advantage. For Beijing, Russian experience offers lessons without having to fight the same war.


Discussion of leaked documents, the “one-to-many” concept and replacement costs


But destroying satellites is not a clean solution. Russia’s 2021 antisatellite test forced both astronauts and Russian cosmonauts to shelter aboard the International Space Station, according to NASA. Debris threatens more than the intended target. Jamming can offer a narrower response; smashing entire networks risks damaging the same orbital space Russia and China also need.

The factory floor shows another side of this partnership-building. A September report by the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team says North Korean workers are employed at Alabuga in Tatarstan, where Russia produces Geran-2 drones, and describes workers entering Russia as students. Pyongyang rejected the report as fabricated. If the findings are accurate, the bargain is straightforward: Russia gains workers, North Korea gains income. Foreign support does not have to arrive as a finished missile; it can help keep the assembly line moving.

The Underground Price List

Recruitment abroad serves a different purpose. A September 15 U.S. indictment alleges that a Russian intelligence-linked network used Cuban and Venezuelan intermediaries to recruit inside America. Prosecutors describe payments of $1,000-$1,500 for surveillance and a $40,000 offer to kill a Russian dissident believed to be near Washington. Another alleged offer promised an American $25,000 to kill a target in Lithuania. These remain accusations, not court findings or proof of an officially declared bounty program.

Original U.S. indictment naming the alleged Russian, Cuban, and Venezuelan participants

The alleged network operated from at least 2024, before the Montenegro arrests. Its importance lies in the method: foreign intermediaries and local recruits, rather than an obvious Russian team. If substantiated, the charges would show Moscow reaching inside America through people who do not carry Russian passports.

The October 9 threat to expand the “exchange fund” signals that consular protests may no longer be Moscow’s only answer. It suggests foreign detainees could become leverage for recovering Russians. The warning to European and American governments is pointed: the detention of a Russian abroad may create a problem for their own citizens elsewhere.

Russia’s partners help it build weapons; alleged overseas networks extend its reach; threats against satellites and foreign detainees aim to raise the cost of confrontation. These are different tools, not proof of one master plan. But October’s warnings carry a common message: Moscow wants the other side to feel exposed too. Medvedev closed his latest message with a Russian proverb: “If you live among wolves, you must howl with them.”

Thialu Guiotti reúne apoio para presidir a Câmara de Goiânia

9 October 2026 at 18:56

A eleição da nova Mesa Diretora da Câmara Municipal de Goiânia, marcada para este sábado (10), às 9h, chega à reta final com a candidatura de Thialu Guiotti (Avante) reunindo apoios e a tentativa de construir um acordo com o grupo de Ronilson Reis (Solidariedade). A votação definirá quem sucederá Romário Policarpo (Cidadania), eleito deputado estadual e atual presidente da Casa.

Thialu afirmou, em entrevista à Rádio Difusora Goiânia na quinta-feira (8), contar com 29 votos declarados entre os 37 vereadores. O número supera os 19 necessários para vencer a eleição. Apesar da vantagem que declara ter, o parlamentar disse que pretende ampliar a adesão e buscar uma composição que reúna todos os integrantes da Câmara.

O vereador conta com o apoio público do prefeito Sandro Mabel (União Brasil). Segundo informações divulgadas durante a semana, também recebeu apoio do governador eleito Daniel Vilela (MDB) e do presidente da Assembleia Legislativa de Goiás, Bruno Peixoto (União Brasil). Thialu, no entanto, afirmou que a decisão depende dos votos dos próprios vereadores.

Ronilson Reis segue nas articulações

Ronilson Reis mantém o nome na disputa e admite a possibilidade de uma composição com Thialu Guiotti. Em entrevista publicada em 7 de outubro, o vereador afirmou que as negociações caminhavam para um acordo, mas ressaltou que ainda não havia definição sobre quem encabeçaria a eventual chapa. Na ocasião, ele não havia anunciado a retirada de sua candidatura.

Os dois grupos tentaram construir um entendimento para evitar uma disputa entre blocos da Câmara. As conversas, porém, não haviam resultado em acordo até quarta-feira (7). Com o avanço das articulações em torno de Thialu, a negociação passou a envolver também a possibilidade de participação de aliados de Ronilson na composição dos cargos diretivos.

Outro nome citado no início das conversas foi o de Henrique Alves (MDB), que declarou apoio a Thialu, segundo a CBN Goiânia. Geverson Abel (Republicanos) também apareceu entre os possíveis interessados, mas não há confirmação recente de que mantenha candidatura própria.

Eleição definirá toda a Mesa Diretora

A votação deste sábado não ficará restrita à escolha do presidente. Os vereadores também elegerão quatro vice-presidentes, cinco secretários e dois vice-presidentes corregedores. A composição das 22 comissões permanentes, do Conselho de Ética e das ouvidorias da Mulher e de Combate a Crimes Raciais também está na pauta.

Entre os espaços em negociação estão comissões estratégicas, como a de Constituição, Justiça e Redação, por onde passam os projetos apresentados à Câmara, e a de Finanças, Orçamento e Economia, responsável pela análise de matérias orçamentárias. A distribuição desses postos integra as conversas entre os diferentes grupos políticos.

Romário Policarpo deixa o comando após quatro mandatos

A eleição marcará a sucessão de Romário Policarpo, que presidiu a Câmara por quatro mandatos consecutivos, um feito inédito no Legislativo goianiense. Ele foi eleito deputado estadual em 4 de outubro e assumirá o novo mandato em fevereiro de 2027.

A nova Mesa Diretora comandará a Câmara no biênio 2027-2028. A sessão especial está marcada para as 9h de sábado, será aberta ao público e terá transmissão pela TV Câmara.

Madrid, refuge latino-américain

Depuis le milieu des années 2010, de riches Latino-Américains, en particulier vénézuéliens, choisissent de s'installer dans la capitale espagnole. En parallèle, des centaines de milliers de leurs compatriotes moins privilégiés viennent occuper les emplois les plus précaires ou monter des petits commerces. Parmi eux, de potentiels futurs électeurs que la droite cherche à séduire.

Trottoirs immaculés, grandes avenues ouvertes et bordées d'arbres, passants chics, restaurants gastronomiques… Le quartier madrilène de Salamanca, où le revenu médian place ses habitants dans le 1 % le plus riche d'Espagne, arbore les attributs habituels des beaux quartiers d'une capitale européenne. Ce fief de la haute bourgeoisie, prudemment épargné par les bombes de Francisco Franco lors du siège de la ville entre 1936 et 1939, accueille désormais une nouvelle population étrangère tout aussi aisée.

« Il y a environ cinq mille riches Vénézuéliens à Salamanca », constate David Placer, qui se présente comme un « journaliste indépendant spécialiste de la communauté vénézuélienne ». M. Juan Carlos Gutiérrez fait partie de ces personnes fortunées. Il nous accueille chaleureusement dans son nouveau restaurant, El Impero. Les détails sont soignés, à l'image de cet avocat pénaliste aujourd'hui spécialisé dans le droit international relatif aux droits humains, dans le privé mais aussi auprès de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI). Cuisine ouverte, chefs italiens, opéra chanté par un artiste équato-guinéen, ambiance cosmopolite : l'avocat des figures de l'opposition au chavisme semble ravi de son premier investissement en Espagne.

Restaurants italiens et appartements de luxe

Trois anciens présidents mexicains de droite ont aussi choisi de s'installer à Madrid : MM. Felipe Calderón, Enrique Peña Nieto et Carlos Salinas de Gortari, lequel a récemment obtenu la nationalité. Depuis 2013, ils sont nombreux à avoir, comme eux, choisi la capitale espagnole pour nouveau havre. Ces Vénézuéliens, Mexicains, Colombiens venus investir ici, et parfois vivre et travailler, jettent cependant souvent leur dévolu sur des biens plus discrets — et plus coûteux — que des restaurants italiens. En particulier des appartements entièrement rénovés avec le plus grand luxe par des promoteurs spécialisés. Le quartier de Salamanca en regorge. « Ils font trois cents à quatre cents mètres carrés, c'est quelque chose de normal pour ce type d'appartements, pour un prix moyen de 12 000 à 14 000 euros le mètre carré », nous expliquent Mme Ofelia Núñez et M. Carlos de Almeida, respectivement directrice de l'investissement résidentiel et directeur des nouvelles constructions résidentielles de la branche espagnole de l'entreprise américaine de conseil en immobilier Coldwell Banker Richard Ellis (CBRE). Le prix moyen du mètre carré dans la capitale était évalué à 4 335 euros en mars 2024, contre 3 741 euros deux ans plus tôt.

Les changements introduits par le Parti populaire (PP, droite) en 2013 expliquent en grande partie l'intérêt soudain des Latino-Américains pour l'immobilier de luxe à Madrid. « L'une de ces dispositions est la création des Socimi [sociétés anonymes cotées d'investissement immobilier], des entreprises consacrées à la spéculation immobilière et qui ne paient presque aucun impôt sur les bénéfices, nous explique Mme Valeria Racu, porte-parole du Syndicat des locataires de Madrid. Cela permet un cycle spéculatif très rapide. » Le clan de M. Henrique Capriles Radonski, candidat à la présidentielle vénézuélienne contre Hugo Chávez en 2012 puis contre M. Nicolás Maduro en 2013, s'est très vite montré friand de ce nouveau régime fiscal, comme en témoigne le lancement des sociétés Agartha (2014) et Orinoquia Real Estate (2017), destinées respectivement au coworking et aux locations de courte durée de logements de standing.

« Madrid propose la pression fiscale la plus réduite de toutes les régions espagnoles », se félicite Mme Kuka Jiménez, directrice de la communication d'Invest In Madrid, un organisme qui dépend de la direction de l'économie de la communauté autonome. « Elle est actuellement la seule à ne pas avoir ses propres impôts locaux », s'enthousiasme-t-elle. Un choix qui lui a permis de devenir le principal point d'entrée des investissements directs étrangers, avec plus de 50 % du total de ceux réalisés dans le pays (1). « Un énorme dumping fiscal », selon M. Pablo Carmona, de la Fondation des communs.

Olmo Calvo. – Livreurs d'origine latino-américaine, Madrid, 2019

« Toutes les semaines, nous avons deux ou trois investisseurs en provenance d'Amérique latine qui cherchent à acquérir une résidence, à 80 % à Madrid », raconte le cofondateur du cabinet Cremades & Calvo-Sotelo. M. Javier Cremades, l'un des plus prestigieux avocats du pays, nous reçoit dans ses locaux tapissés de portraits des deux fondateurs. Depuis la très chic rue Jorge Juan, en plein quartier de Salamanca, M. Cremades fournit des conseils aux fortunes étrangères désireuses de s'implanter en Espagne et aide en matière de droits humains. Notamment en soutenant l'opposition vénézuélienne en exil. « Nous avons aussi travaillé pour l'administration [du « président par intérim » autoproclamé de 2019 à fin 2022] Juan Guaidó afin de tenter de récupérer des actifs [de l'État vénézuélien au profit de cette administration parallèle] ».

L'argent n'est cependant pas le seul motif d'émigration. Les Vénézuéliens récemment arrivés à Madrid en délicatesse avec le gouvernement de M. Maduro sont nombreux. « En 2017, j'étais physiquement épuisé », confie M. Gutiérrez, désormais associé du cabinet Cremades & Calvo-Sotelo. Il fuit alors le pays et abandonne ses affaires, dans l'hôtellerie et la vente de voitures. M. Antonio Ledezma, maire de Caracas de 2008 à 2015 et l'un des opposants les plus hostiles au pouvoir, quitte également le pays en 2017. À peine arrivé, il se voit offrir la nationalité espagnole par l'ancien président du gouvernement Mariano Rajoy (PP), et la refuse. D'autres l'acceptent, comme le père de l'opposant radical Leopoldo López, M. Leopoldo López Gil, aujourd'hui député européen du PP, les parents de M. Capriles Radonski, ou M. Miguel Henrique Otero. Ce dernier a vu le journal vénézuélien dont il est directeur et propriétaire, El Nacional, un temps favorable à Chávez lorsque celui-ci cheminait vers sa première élection (1998), attaqué par le pouvoir actuel. Il dirige désormais une édition numérique du titre depuis chez lui, dans le quartier de Salamanca, dont il définit la ligne comme « opposée aux populismes de gauche ».

« C'était plus facile que d'aller aux États-Unis »

Tous les nouveaux arrivants à Madrid en provenance d'Amérique latine ne sont pourtant pas des multimillionnaires, d'anciens dirigeants de droite ou des opposants politiques. « Le nombre de Vénézuéliens a explosé dans les quartiers d'Entrevías ou de San Diego, observe Placer. Ce sont des quartiers pauvres de Madrid. » Outre l'opposition en exil, beaucoup de Vénézuéliens sont venus en Espagne dans l'espoir d'une vie meilleure.

Un détour par le marché couvert de Maravillas, dans le quartier populaire de Tetuán, permet de s'en rendre compte. Le bâtiment abrite de nombreux étals, la plupart tenus par des Latino-Américains. En plus de la farine de maïs qui permet de confectionner les arepas, des petits pains typiques de la cuisine colombienne et vénézuélienne, on y trouve des piles d'exemplaires du bimensuel gratuit El Venezolano. M. Miguel T. a installé là son commerce d'arepas depuis quatre ans, et reconnaît sans ambages : « Je ne me mêle pas trop de politique. Nous sommes ici pour des raisons économiques. » Un peu plus loin, M. Gema Serrano tient un stand de primeurs. Sa compagne est ainsi vénézuélienne et est venue à Madrid « pour des questions de sécurité plus que de politique », et parce que « c'était plus facile que d'aller aux États-Unis ».

Depuis janvier 2015, les migrants latino-américains gonflent le chiffre des arrivées d'étrangers dans la région de Madrid. Ils y représentaient alors 49 % (561 000 personnes) des immigrés. Début 2022, 58 % des étrangers (816 000) vivant dans la communauté autonome étaient nés dans un pays d'Amérique latine. Alors que les personnes originaires de Chine, du Maroc ou de Roumanie ont vu leur nombre stagner ou baisser, celui des Vénézuéliens, Colombiens, Péruviens, Dominicains et Honduriens a considérablement augmenté. En 2021, les Équatoriens privaient les Roumains de leur statut de communauté étrangère la plus importante de la région, avant d'être eux-mêmes dépassés par les Vénézuéliens en 2022 (2).

Porosité des droites des deux côtés de l'Atlantique

« La majorité est issue de la classe moyenne ou aisée, avec des diplômes universitaires. Les pauvres fuient à pied », précise M. Cremades. Un profil sociologique que confirme le directeur d'El Nacional, M. Otero : « Ceux qui arrivent ici sont les plus riches, car il faut acheter un billet d'avion. Pour aller en Colombie, il suffit de traverser un pont. » Les précaires sud-américains constituent le gros des troupes de livreurs à vélo qui quadrillent la ville pour le compte de Deliveroo, Uber Eats ou Glovo. M. Pedro H., l'un de ces travailleurs des plates-formes, confirme le phénomène : sur les huit livreurs avec lesquels il attend les commandes, place de la Glorieta de Cuatro Caminos, dans le quartier de Tetuán, six sont vénézuéliens et deux colombiens. La plupart louent le droit d'utiliser l'application à un autoentrepreneur déclaré, faute de bénéficier d'un permis de travail. Le tout pour dix heures de disponibilité par jour et un revenu oscillant entre 600 et 800 euros mensuels.

La langue et la culture ont beau rester un facteur facilitant a priori l'intégration, les plus pauvres ne sont pas accueillis à bras ouverts. Cependant, contrairement aux autres nationalités, les Vénézuéliens obtiennent en général le permis de résidence. Et ce depuis 2018 et une décision de la commission interministérielle de l'asile et des réfugiés — sous le gouvernement de M. Rajoy — qui accorde aux Vénézuéliens la possibilité de bénéficier d'un droit de résidence temporaire pour des motifs humanitaires, et non en vertu du droit d'asile. En tout, selon les données du ministère de l'intérieur, 113 487 décisions favorables ont été rendues entre 2019 et 2022. Selon Mme Elena Muñoz, responsable juridique au sein de la Commission espagnole d'aide aux réfugiés, une organisation non gouvernementale (ONG) qui œuvre en faveur des demandeurs d'asile, « 98 % de ces autorisations [au titre du motif humanitaire] ont été données à des Vénézuéliens ». Les Latino-Américains peuvent par ailleurs demander la nationalité espagnole après deux ans de résidence légale dans le pays. Ils jouissent de facilités en matière de visas de tourisme.

Pour les plus aisés et les plus diplômés, la situation est différente. La qualité de vie d'une capitale européenne, la présence de nombreuses universités privées, des prix de l'immobilier de luxe encore relativement attractifs comparés à Miami ou Paris, la langue et la culture communes, ainsi que la solidarité de classe qui fonctionne grâce aux relais bien placés auprès des gouvernements, en particulier de droite, ont fait de Madrid une destination à la mode.

« Il y a toujours eu une relation très intense entre la droite espagnole et la droite vénézuélienne », confirme Juan Carlos Monedero, professeur de science politique à l'université Complutense de Madrid, spécialiste de l'Amérique latine et par ailleurs cofondateur du parti de gauche radicale Podemos. Bien que ces liens aient une très forte dimension personnelle et entrepreneuriale, selon lui, ils sont aussi nourris par une proximité politique.

Réélue en mai 2023 avec la majorité absolue des sièges à la tête de la communauté autonome de Madrid et désormais figure majeure du PP, l'ultralibérale Isabel Díaz Ayuso a d'ailleurs fait de l'antichavisme un leitmotiv de son discours. Son slogan « Communisme ou liberté » est massivement utilisé par son camp depuis les élections locales de 2021. Une branche de la direction du PP de Madrid consacrée aux « nouveaux Madrilènes », placée sous le contrôle de Mme Ayuso, a été créée et confiée à un Vénézuélien, M. Gustavo Eustache. Si ce dernier, que nous rencontrons au siège de la formation, rue Génova, assure « avoir travaillé avec énormément de communautés », il admet cibler surtout les Latino-Américains, qui représentent « le gros de ceux qui ont le droit de voter ». M. Eustache, qui arbore fièrement son bracelet « Communisme ou liberté », connaît par cœur les chiffres et la composition des communautés d'étrangers, et laboure sans relâche le terrain pour sa candidate. Quitte à investir jusqu'aux autels des églises évangéliques assidûment fréquentées par la frange la plus conservatrice de cet électorat (3).

M. Eustache serait-il devenu essentiel pour le PP ? Au niveau national, la question ne se pose pas vraiment : le nombre de Latino-Américains jouissant de la double nationalité, disposant donc du droit de vote, s'avère trop faible. Les données de l'Institut national des statistiques espagnol (INE) permettent d'identifier 2,2 millions d'étrangers disposant du droit de vote (6,5 % du corps électoral), dont 1,5 million de Latino-Américains (4,3 % du corps électoral) (4). À Madrid, la situation est différente : d'une part, la concentration de personnes nées à l'étranger est beaucoup plus importante ; d'autre part, les titulaires d'une double nationalité ne sont pas forcément les seuls à voter. En effet, lorsqu'il existe une convention permettant aux Espagnols de voter dans un pays étranger, l'Espagne applique la réciprocité pour les élections municipales.

« C'est la nouvelle réalité. Les personnes nées à l'étranger représentent 21 % de la population de la communauté autonome de Madrid, près de 1,5 million de personnes — 61 % d'origine latino-américaine, 21 % d'origine européenne —, dont 1 million bénéficiant du droit de vote [aux municipales]  : 500 000 du fait d'accords bilatéraux, et 500 000 à la suite de l'obtention de la nationalité », détaille M. Eustache. Un chiffre certes non négligeable, mais cela ne signifie pas que tous votent, ni que tous votent à droite… Comparé au poids électoral des Latino-Américains dans le comté de Miami-Dade — 915 000 personnes, soit 58 % des inscrits, dont un tiers sont cubains —, celui des Latino-Américains de Madrid est donc à relativiser (5).

Olmo Calvo. – Immeuble de luxe habité majoritairement par de riches Latino-Américains, quartier de Salamanca, Madrid, 2021

La droite construit ce récit antichaviste et pro-immigrés latino-américains à destination des Espagnols : il permet de mobiliser l'électorat conservateur et bourgeois grâce à l'indémodable peur des communistes prêts à prendre possession des avenues de la capitale. La diabolisation de la gauche, souhaitant transformer l'Espagne en un « chaos digne du Venezuela », constitue celle-ci en repoussoir. Pour les conservateurs, cette dramatisation vise aussi à contenir le concurrent d'extrême droite, le parti Vox, en jouant la carte du vote utile (6). « Dans la construction de la figure du méchant universel, le Venezuela a remplacé Cuba et l'URSS, analyse ainsi Monedero. Cela s'ajoute au fait qu'une partie d'entre nous, en Espagne, notamment chez Podemos, avons eu des relations avec les gouvernements progressistes en Amérique latine. Moi, j'ai travaillé avec Chávez, par exemple. »

La persistance de cette thématique dans le discours du PP et de Vox peut aussi être vue comme un marqueur idéologique au sein de la droite. Il lui est d'autant plus utile qu'il permet d'opposer un échec à son propre échec : celui du capitalisme néolibéral et la crise de 2008, qui a violemment éprouvé l'Espagne. La droite vénézuélienne et la droite espagnole cherchent en effet à construire la légitimité de leur discours suivant une posture de défense inconditionnelle de la démocratie. Alors que Mme Ayuso traite l'ancien dirigeant de Podemos et l'actuel président du gouvernement Pedro Sánchez de dictateur, M. Ledezma affirme de son côté que Podemos « est une franchise du chavisme ». Le parti d'extrême droite Vox n'hésite pas à relativiser les crimes du franquisme ? « Ils défendent la démocratie », nous explique-t-il. Il ira même jusqu'à signer, en octobre 2020, la « lettre de Madrid », un document élaboré à l'initiative d'une fondation présidée par M. Santiago Abascal, le dirigeant de Vox. Le Forum de São Paulo, une structure qui rassemble la gauche latino-américaine, y est qualifié de « groupe criminel » et les gouvernements de gauche de la région de « totalitaires » (7). Parmi les autres signataires, Mme Marion Maréchal, la nièce de Mme Marine Le Pen, M. Eduardo Bolsonaro (fils de l'ancien président d'extrême droite du Brésil), Mme Giorgia Meloni, la dirigeante de Fratelli d'Italia devenue depuis présidente du Conseil en Italie…

La porosité entre les droites des deux côtés de l'Atlantique est accentuée par le fait que la plupart des membres de la communauté vénézuélienne, moins politisés, peu ou pas fortunés, ne sont pas des admirateurs du gouvernement de M. Maduro. Ce qui les rend souvent sensibles aux discours critiques concernant le rôle de l'État ou les méfaits du « socialisme ». « Il est logique de penser qu'ils ne vont pas s'affilier à des partis similaires à ceux qu'ils ont fuis », note ainsi M. López Gil.

« Le vote des Latinos qui fuient l'Amérique latine est un vote conservateur : la famille, la loi, l'ordre, la libre entreprise », veut croire de son côté M. Otero. Monedero confirme : « À court terme, il est pratiquement impossible de convaincre ces personnes de soutenir la gauche, parce que leur architecture neuronale leur dit que la gauche est mauvaise. » Un constat que semble corroborer une étude menée en 2021 par Laura Morales et Carles Pamies, auprès des Vénézuéliens résidant en Espagne, dans laquelle les deux chercheurs montrent que ces derniers « sont beaucoup plus susceptibles de voter pour des partis de droite que le reste des Latino-Américains » (8).

Un processus de gentrification qui s'accélère

Mais les Vénézuéliens émigrés sont-ils si à droite que cela ? « Ils sont en réalité plus antichavistes que de droite », estime le journaliste Placer. Difficile dans ces conditions de former un bloc idéologiquement cohérent. Plusieurs interlocuteurs pointent d'ailleurs l'absence de réelle organisation de la communauté, avec des groupes poursuivant chacun leur propre feuille de route. « Ce n'est pas une communauté si forte, chacun s'occupe un peu de ses affaires », explique par exemple M. Miguel T., le commerçant du marché de Maravillas. Placer pointe lui aussi l'absence de structuration dans et entre les différents groupes de Vénézuéliens : « Je ne crois pas que leur but soit d'influencer leur pays d'origine depuis Madrid. Ils n'ont pas de projet politique. Le but est davantage de peser ici, entre eux, pour leurs affaires », tranche-t-il. Leur penchant très à droite est aussi un handicap, selon lui : « Aux États-Unis, les Cubains sont plus intelligents, ils maintiennent des contacts avec les deux bords. Ici, ils ont oublié le PSOE [Parti socialiste ouvrier espagnol], qui est au pouvoir. »

En tout état de cause, l'arrivée de Latino-Américains fortunés a déjà eu une incidence : « Cela génère un processus de gentrification », explique le sociologue Andrés Walliser. Avec un changement important dans la configuration du régime de propriété dans les zones concernées. « Dans ces quartiers, aujourd'hui, le marché est saturé ; il ne reste que quelques immeubles appartenant à une seule famille », confirment Mme Núñez et M. de Almeida, de CBRE Espagne. Ainsi, les acheteurs se tournent petit à petit vers d'autres quartiers. « Les fonds d'investissement et les agences spécialisées expulsent les locataires [en renchérissant le prix des loyers], qui se tournent alors vers d'autres quartiers, dont ils expulsent à leur tour les habitants », résume Mme Racu.

À défaut d'une capitale des oppositions de droite aux gouvernements de gauche, les millionnaires latino-américains du continent auront au moins activement participé à l'émergence… d'une Miami immobilière fondée sur le dumping fiscal.

María Corina Machado intervenes in US midterms with endorsement of Trump critic María Elvira Salazar

9 October 2026 at 10:30

The leader of the Venezuelan opposition in exile, María Corina Machado, has decided to intervene in the United States midterm elections. She did so by publicly endorsing Republican congresswoman María Elvira Salazar, who is seeking a fourth term in the House of Representatives for Florida’s 27th District. The statement, released Wednesday via video, comes at a particularly sensitive moment for the Cuban-American lawmaker, who has clashed with Donald Trump over her criticism of the White House’s immigration policy and who faces an increasingly tight race in Miami.

Autarca expectante quanto à possível VMER no concelho

8 October 2026 at 18:35

VTM

A instalação de uma VMER no concelho deu novos passos, na sequência de uma reunião de trabalho que juntou a Comissão de Coordenação e Desenvolvimento Regional do Norte (CCDR-Norte), o Instituto Nacional de Emergência Médica (INEM) e a Unidade Local de Saúde (ULS) do Nordeste.

O encontro contou com a participação do vice-presidente da CCDR-Norte, Jorge Mendes, do presidente do Conselho Diretivo do INEM, Luís Mendes Cabral, e do presidente do Conselho de Administração da ULS do Nordeste, Miguel Abrunhosa. A instalação da VMER em Mirandela foi uma das duas prioridades analisadas pelas entidades, tendo sido avaliados os procedimentos necessários para concretizar esta resposta de emergência médica no território transmontano.

A reivindicação tem sido acompanhada pelo município de Mirandela, que considera a criação desta resposta uma medida importante para melhorar as condições de assistência à população. O presidente da câmara, Vítor Correia, manifesta satisfação com os desenvolvimentos conhecidos, embora mantenha alguma prudência quanto à concretização do projeto.

Juan Miguel Matheus, Venezuelan opposition negotiator: ‘The terms have been defined by the US State Department’

8 October 2026 at 14:32

Juan Miguel Matheus acknowledges United States involvement in the process that Chavismo and part of the opposition began on January 12, and which this month opens its third round of meetings. Far from being bothered by it, Washington’s involvement seems necessary to him: in his view, it has made essential compromises feasible for the institutional transformation needed to restore democracy in Venezuela. Matheus is confident that in the upcoming sessions, which will run through December, work will begin on a new electoral system and on restoring political and constitutional rights.

O projeto de reabilitação da antiga Estação Ferroviária de Mirandela, que deu origem à atual Estação das Artes, é finalista da 2.ª edição dos Prémios dos Fundos Europeus, na categoria “Portugal + Próximo dos Cidadãos”.

Segundo o município, a distinção reconhece “a transformação de um dos edifícios mais emblemáticos da história ferroviária de Mirandela num equipamento público multifuncional, dedicado à cultura, criatividade, educação, encontro e participação”.

A intervenção teve como objetivo preservar a identidade arquitetónica e histórica do edifício, dando-lhe novas funcionalidades. De acordo com a autarquia, as obras contribuíram para “a regeneração urbana, valorização do património ferroviário e dinamização cultural da cidade”.

A Estação das Artes é um espaço aberto a toda a comunidade, acolhendo exposições, atividades educativas, iniciativas culturais e projetos desenvolvidos em colaboração com associações, artistas, escolas e outras entidades.

A recuperação do edifício foi concretizada através de duas operações complementares cofinanciadas pelo Programa Operacional Regional do Norte – NORTE 2020.

Desde segunda-feira está aberta a votação do público, através do site dos Prémios dos Fundos Europeus.

Caiado oficializa apoio a Flávio Bolsonaro em ato que reúne lideranças em Goiânia

6 October 2026 at 21:48

O ex-governador de Goiás Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) oficializou nesta terça-feira (6), em Goiânia, seu apoio à candidatura de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) no segundo turno da eleição presidencial. O encontro reuniu também o governador reeleito de Goiás, Daniel Vilela (MDB), o governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), além de parlamentares, prefeitos e outras lideranças políticas.

A declaração ocorreu após Caiado terminar o primeiro turno na quinta colocação da disputa presidencial. O ex-governador havia afirmado que discutiria a posição antes de definir seu apoio. Com a decisão, passou a integrar formalmente a campanha de Flávio na segunda etapa da eleição.

Durante o ato, Caiado afirmou que pretende mobilizar sua base política em Goiás para ampliar a votação de Flávio no Estado. “Proporcionalmente, Goiás vai dar maior vitória a Flávio Bolsonaro nesta eleição. Mobilização vai ser em tempo integral”, declarou.

Caiado também entregou ao candidato uma agenda com sugestões de prioridades para um eventual governo. Entre os temas defendidos pelo ex-governador estão o combate ao PT e ao crime organizado, mudanças no Judiciário e a anistia ao ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL).

O apoio também foi acompanhado de uma aproximação programática. Flávio afirmou que pretende trabalhar ao lado de Caiado para “encerrar com essa era do Lula” e disse haver ampla convergência entre as propostas apresentadas pelo ex-governador. “Esse rol de critérios programáticos ele sabe que nem precisava, porque a gente concorda em quase 115%”, afirmou.

Caiado na segurança píublica

Nos bastidores da articulação política, também circula a possibilidade de Ronaldo Caiado assumir o futuro Ministério da Segurança Pública em um eventual governo de Flávio Bolsonaro. A hipótese já foi mencionada por interlocutores da campanha, mas não há confirmação oficial de que o cargo tenha sido formalmente oferecido ou definido.

Flávio também sinalizou que pretende ampliar os investimentos federais em Goiás caso seja eleito. Ao se dirigir a Daniel Vilela, declarou: “Vilela, conte comigo. Eu, como presidente, vou estender tapete verde e amarelo para trazer investimentos para Goiás”.

A presença de Tarcísio de Freitas deu dimensão nacional ao encontro. O governador de São Paulo participou do ato em Goiânia ao lado de Flávio, Caiado e das demais lideranças que integram a articulação política para o segundo turno.

A adesão de Caiado ocorre em um momento de reorganização das forças políticas para a segunda etapa da eleição, marcada para 25 de outubro. O PSD não adotou uma posição nacional em favor de nenhum dos dois candidatos e liberou seus diretórios e filiados para definirem individualmente seus apoios.

Em Goiás, o apoio de Caiado se soma à posição de Daniel Vilela e de outras lideranças estaduais favoráveis à candidatura de Flávio. O ato desta terça-feira consolidou o palanque político do candidato do PL no Estado para a reta final da disputa presidencial.

Venezuela confirms it did not seek Nicolás Maduro’s release or request immunity to prevent US trial

6 October 2026 at 10:20

“There is only one president in this country and his name is Nicolás Maduro Moros,” Venezuela’s current interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, said on the same day as the U.S. attack that ended with the detention of the former chavista leader and his wife, Cilia Flores. Rodríguez described the military intervention in Caracas as an “illegal and illegitimate kidnapping of the president and first lady.” However, Venezuela later did not take any formal steps to demand the couple’s release or to request their immunity so they would not be tried in the United States.

What is really happening in Venezuela?

By Raphael Machado | Strategic Culture Foundation | October 4, 2026

The year 2026 is passing quickly. In fact, it won’t be long before it ends. Still, we remember very well how this year opened: on January 3, the U.S. carried out a military operation in Caracas, in which they abducted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Lícia Flores. During this operation, a large part of Maduro’s bodyguards lost their lives. Maduro was close to a bunker, but he couldn’t reach it and seal the door in time before being captured.

In his place, Delcy Rodríguez assumes power, supported by her brother Jorge Rodríguez, who presides over the National Assembly, by Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, and by Vladimir Padrino López, who controls the military. Far from betting on “free and democratic elections,” the U.S. endorsed the continuity of Bolivarian politics, keeping Delcy Rodríguez in power. Maria Corina Machado, Juan Guaidó’s successor in the Venezuelan “color revolution” project, has already fallen into oblivion.

What really happened during Maduro’s abduction? The circumstances were never sufficiently well explained, and we continue swimming amid rumors and hearsay. Occasionally, unverifiable information emerges that some elements of Maduro’s security team sold him out in exchange for financial compensation, never paid by the U.S. In fact, Venezuela’s interim government made several changes to the presidential guard after the abduction, even while denying that there was any betrayal.

But the big question is what happened to all the Russian and Chinese military equipment acquired by Venezuela. Why wasn’t it used on January 3? We are talking, for example, about Chinese JY-27A, JYL-1, and JY-11 radars, some of which have anti-stealth capability, as well as Russian Sukhoi Su-30 fighters and Russian anti-aircraft systems such as the S300 and Buk-M2. None of this appears to have been used during the U.S. attack. Lack of maintenance? Lack of readiness among Venezuelan soldiers? It is not known.

Since then, Delcy Rodríguez has been criticized extremely by foreign anti-imperialists for her conciliatory stance toward the U.S. Whenever news appears of a meeting between Venezuela’s interim president and some U.S. representative, such as Dan Caine of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marco Rubio, or, as recently, Donald Trump, criticism abounds. The same happens when the Venezuelan government issues its now-typical official notes celebrating “collaboration” with the U.S., the “improvement in relations,” “investment opportunities,” and so on.

Now, to some extent, it is quite easy to criticize Venezuela’s interim government while outside Venezuela and without having to deal with the same kind of pressure. In a practical and material sense, what options does Venezuela have today? To what extent can it directly and openly defy the U.S.?

The version offered by supporters of the current Venezuelan government is that Delcy Rodríguez’s priority is to preserve the Bolivarian political system and secure the return of Nicolás Maduro. Economic sovereignty can, to a certain extent, be sacrificed in the short term; the power structure cannot, since it is harder to rebuild or recover if it ceases to exist. In this sense, Delcy Rodríguez would be offering concessions to the U.S. in order to buy time, waiting until political changes within the U.S. – such as a Trump defeat in the midterms or, perhaps, in the next presidential elections – bring about a more favorable scenario.

The narrative is plausible and, frankly, in Delcy Rodríguez’s place I would do the same thing. There don’t seem to be many other options, at this moment, for Venezuela, besides damage control.

But how much is it possible to concede?

In just 1 year we have seen the return of the U.S. Embassy to Caracas, as well as the establishment of a CIA office in the country and the restoration of relations with the State of Israel.

On the economic front, the U.S. has come to approach the revenue from approximately 1 million barrels exported daily, whose value is only partially returned to the Venezuelan government for investments and spending authorized by the U.S. A good part of the value remains with the U.S. government, and Trump referred directly to this value as spoils of war.

Soon after, Venezuela granted the American company Trafigura the right to buy and export Venezuelan gold to be refined abroad, with approximately 400kg of gold per month being transferred to the U.S.

And more recently, Venezuela ceded to the U.S. majority control over unexplored Venezuelan reserves that would theoretically amount to 65 billion barrels of oil. These are areas in which the U.S. would make investments of 100 billion dollars to extract oil for 25 years, which would yield 200 billion dollars in revenue for Venezuela, but much more for the companies involved and for the U.S. government.

How much further is Delcy Rodríguez willing to go? That is the question.

Finally, it is reckless to believe that a change in the White House from a Republican government to a Democratic government would represent a turn of fortune for Venezuela. On strategic topics, there is a surprising continuity of foreign policy between different governments, which indicates to us that perhaps it is not the White House that dictates the real guidelines. Moreover, it costs nothing to remember that it was under Barack Obama that the siege against Venezuela really began, intensifying with each subsequent presidency, whether Republican or Democratic.
