authorities are making progress in the investigation of the triple murder committed last week in the south of the country. This is stated by the Minister of the Interior and Public Security, Carolina Tohá, who anticipates that there are already clues to clarify the crime in which three police officers lost their lives. According to political analyst Pía Figueroa, the country’s security system does not contribute to reducing violence, since it is based on a neoliberal model and is repressive.

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene today once again threatened her colleague Mike Johnson, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, to expel him from office by insisting that his days are “numbered.” Greene, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump like Johnson, last month filed a motion to remove the speaker on the grounds that he crossed a line when he voted – pushed by Democrats – in favor of additional aid to Ukraine. . Two other members of the Lower House have already endorsed her, but she would need the support of the Democratic caucus, which so far opposes Greene’s effort. The representative said that Johnson will do whatever President Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer, the Democratic majority leader in the Senate, want “to keep the gavel” in his hands, “but he has completely betrayed the Republican voters who gave us the majority.” ». Biden signed a $95 billion foreign aid package last week, which included about $61 billion for Ukraine. Greene’s motion has not yet been put to a vote, but a fight for Johnson’s seat could soon ensue. In September of last year, then-speaker Kevin McCarthy supported Democrats in a last-minute effort to avoid the feared shutdown (partial closure of the federal government) and that cost him a historic expulsion motion. The chamber experienced weeks of anarchy and chaos until Johnson, an almost unknown legislator from Louisiana, managed to prevail amid the divisions of the Republican Party. For some observers, falling into a situation similar to McCarthy’s could threaten the party’s electoral chances in 2024, which faces a second, costly and even uncertain race for the presidency with Trump, the almost certain candidate, in just a few months. For this reason, Johnson himself has downplayed Greene and says that he is focused on growing the slim majority in November. “I don’t think about her at all,” he told Fox News last week when asked if he had nightmares about Greene.
