El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, ha vuelto a referirse a la crisis migratoria sufrida en Ceuta el pasado 30 de julio, cuando decenas de miles de inmigrantes marroquíes cruzaron la frontera de forma irregular. Durante un acto electoralista en la Casa Blanca, el mandatario estadounidense ha manifestado: “Ya viste lo que pasó en España, donde (los inmigrantes) irrumpieron en masa en España. Llegaron por decenas de miles, simplemente se abalanzaron directamente sobre España, y España no hace nada al respecto”, dijo en respuesta a una pregunta de los periodistas sobre los disturbios en Francia. “Los mandan, entran, llegan de todas partes del mundo, de países que tienen muchos, muchos problemas. Europa tiene que cambiar su forma de ser. Tiene que cambiar sus costumbres, o no quedará Europa”, apostilló.

Colombia’s Congress approved the 2027 national budget of 200 billion dollars on October 20, igniting a backlash from opposition lawmakers who say the plan favors debt payments and financial interests over education, peace and regional development.
The approval of the General Budget of Colombia for 2027 capped a tense legislative session.
President Abelardo de la Espriella’s government secured passage of the law, worth 634.9 trillion Colombian pesos (about $200 billion), over the objections of the opposition, which was led mainly by the Historic Pact party.
Representative María Fernanda Carrascal described the debate as a “disaster” and faulted the national government for refusing to accept any of the 700 proposals submitted by her party. The initiatives sought to channel more resources into public education, support for victims of violence and the regions, she detailed. Faced with the lack of agreement, the opposition walked out of the debate, stating it would not back a measure it considers harmful to the country.
The Historic Pact also questioned the law’s orientation, arguing that the government chose to protect financial entities, oligopolies and the most favored sectors. They further denounced that the project promotes over-indebtedness, which they say will end up shifting heavier tax burdens onto Colombian citizens.

Text reads: “Colombia has budget for 2027! The Congress of the Republic approved the Truth Budget for $634.9 trillion, the first step to reorient the country’s economy toward growth, fiscal responsibility, and meeting the country’s needs.”
Other voices in the legislature added their objections. Senator Jennifer Pedraza of the Dignity and Commitment party (Dignidad y Compromiso, in Spanish) criticized the absence of a fixed allocation to address the consequences of the earthquakethat struck on August 10. She questioned the fact that assistance to hard-hit departments such as Risaralda, Chocó and Valle del Cauca depends solely on leftover budget balances.
Senator Ariel Ávila, in turn, lamented the underfunding of resources earmarked for electric infrastructure and energization in non-interconnected zones such as Vichada, Guainía, Arauca, Putumayo and Vaupés. He also pointed to a lack of concern for victims of the armed conflict and what he called a budgetary strangling of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP).
After the law’s validation, Congress gave the Executive 90 days to draft a fiscal adjustment plan, which the national administration has called the Rescue Law. The Ministry of Finance and the cabinet are already holding talks with the International Monetary Fund, a signal that new credit instruments and the conditions attached to them may be on the negotiating table.
Mobilization Set for November
The Historic Pact called on citizens to join a national mobilization on November 24 to reject the budget. The party maintains that the project raises debt service by 46% while cutting investment in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace by 82% and stripping 500 billion Colombian pesos (about $157 million) from the National Learning Service (SENA).
Lawmakers also warned that 14 departments will see their real investment shrink. They denounced that the norm prioritizes debt repayment over the financing of peace, education and regional development. “The complaint is clear: more resources for debt and less for peace, education and the regions,” the party stated on social media.
The mobilization announced for late November now stands as the opposition’s next test of strength. In the meantime, the government’s 90-day clock to deliver its fiscal adjustment plan is running, and the talks with the International Monetary Fund could define the conditions under which Colombia finances its 2027 spending. The opposition has vowed to keep the pressure on, both in the streets and in the legislature.

Apple added a US titanium supplier for the iPhone Duo, committing up to $100 million to Pennsylvania-based Perryman Company while expanding domestic production of camera technology for the iPhone 18 Pro.
As part of its American Manufacturing Program (AMP), Apple said today (20 October) the deal with Perryman is over the next three years for titanium used in its products, including the iPhone Duo, which starts at $1,999.
The announcement follows reports of tight supply for Apple’s first foldable. The phone is due in stores on 23 October, but online delivery estimates slipped to January 2027 within minutes of preorders opening on 16 October.
Apple stated Perryman will melt, forge, and roll grade 5 titanium, which it said will contain at least 80% recycled material. Titanium is used for the Duo’s enclosure, providing durability, according to the iPhone maker.
It is also expanding its partnership with Qnity Electronics, headquartered in the US state of Delaware, to produce technology for the new variable aperture in the iPhone 18 Pro camera system.
Apple said nearly 100 components used in the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro, from wireless chips to the silicon which powers key functions across the devices, are produced by US companies across more than a dozen states.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) Arizona plant will produce more than 100 million chips for Apple in 2026, while Corning’s Kentucky facility will make all cover glass for iPhones and Apple Watches sold worldwide by year end.
Apple also highlighted investments with other AMP partners, including Broadcom for US-made chips and Amkor Technology, which is building a semiconductor packaging and testing facility in Peoria, Arizona.
“We’re thrilled to expand our work with companies producing advanced materials and components for our newest iPhone lineup right here in America,” stated Apple COO Sabih Khan.
El olor fétido es especialmente fuerte durante las mañanas y después de las lluvias. Hay días en los que el clima cálido y húmedo de la selva maya, en la península de Yucatán, se mezcla con el de las heces y otros desechos de las decenas de instalaciones de granjas de cerdos que se ubican a solo unos kilómetros de las comunidades que pueblan la región. Cifras oficiales del Gobierno mexicano registran al menos 500 granjas de este tipo en el Estado, pero organizaciones medioambientales elevan la cifra hasta 800. La organización Greenpeace México, junto con un laboratorio independiente, ha documentado la calidad del agua de cenotes y pozos en 17 puntos de las localidades Kinchil, Sitilpech, Motul, Chocholá, Molas, Celestún y San Antonio Tedzidz, comunidades asediadas por macrogranjas desde hace décadas, y ha encontrado contaminación fecal generalizada y concentraciones de nitrato superiores a los límites establecidos por las normativas nacionales e internacionales, lo que significa que la salud y el equilibrio ambiental están en un grave riesgo ante agua no apta para consumo humano.
