09:29now we have a short break coming up but first remember you can join us on tick tock at
09:33us for english where you will find news in different formats news updates and much more we'll be right
09:38back stay with us
09:58welcome back to from the south we continue with more information in panama the trade union strikes and
10:03protests are underway to demand the repeal of law 462 of the social security fund and stand against the
10:11government policies the ministry of education requested the resumption of classes after 43 days of
10:18indefinite strike but the teachers union stated that they won't engage in dialogue or return to the
10:24classroom until the law is repealed in the sense trade unions urged citizens to join rallies grounded in this
10:33law harms families moreover they underscore that privatization only guarantees a decrease and
10:40elimination of the historical benefits won with hard work therefore panamanians reject the memorandum of
10:48understanding with the united states the military bases the reopening of the donoso copper mine and the
10:54persecution of trade unions
11:01in this context regardless the constitutional right to go on strike in panama the general comptroller of
11:07the republic indicated that the stoppage of classes by teachers was illegal subsequently the authority
11:14announced the next week 15 000 educators wouldn't receive their salaries they further advanced that they
11:22would access other legal actions they may take against the teachers unions likewise the comptroller's
11:29office highlighted they would review the teachers data bank to replace those instructors who were not
11:36teaching due to joining the strike
11:44we go now to equator as after the national assembly passed a partial amendment to the article 5 of the
11:50constitution to eliminate the express prohibition of the establishment of foreign military bases in national
11:56territory there have been several reactions gabriela menna tells us more in the following report
12:02after rafael correa became president of ecuador the prohibition of foreign military bases was enacted for
12:11reasons such as the increased indexes of violence and the record of multiple claims of right violations
12:17this particular base operated from the 2000 to 2009 before they arrived the level of violent deaths that
12:30existed in ecuador was 1600 after that it increased to 2625 and then without them they managed to lower crime
12:41impressively from 2625 to 934. ecuador was the second safest country in latin america in 2017 when president
12:53korea left the government the foreign bases constituted an infringement of ecuadorian sovereignty due
13:01to the fact that the bases headquarters were not regulated by ecuadorian law but by those of their
13:08own country furthermore it was not possible to control what occurred inside the bases and different
13:13crimes began to be reported adding that they had their own agenda of operations
13:18that the ecuadorian state did not know about when they were here there were sinking of boats
13:26complaints from fishermen who said they have been victims of abuses by various forces so there were
13:32always this type of scenarios there were even abuses of minors there were also situations of abuse in bars
13:42and since they had diplomatic status in this case the u.s marines had immunity they could not do anything
13:52to them nor could they be denounced when some controversy happened in ecuador they could leave the country
13:59and go away experts are concerned about the assembly's decision claiming that there is no evidence that
14:07the country's crime wave will be curved by allowing the entry of foreign military forces because what
14:15we are doing is handing over a part of our territory so that they can install themselves they are selling
14:20an imaginary world where people think that since they're going to bring a military base 1 000 2 000
14:253 000 soldiers are going to come and they are going to fight with the armed groups that is not so
14:30it is not going to happen además los expertos in addition the experts consulted warned that foreign military
14:37presence not only affects national sovereignty but also impacts the entire region i believe that the
14:44assembly and the president have rushed to set a geopolitical agenda that includes us in an issue
14:51that we do not want which is an international word but doing this as has been done now without
14:58taking into account the present we had with the colombia plant is a mistake ecuador remains expected of the
15:05decision to be taken in the referendum for which it is estimated that the ecuadorian national electoral
15:11council will convene the polls within a maximum period of up to 45 days gabriela menna telesur ecuador
15:19in a sabato lawyer ruth lopez a significant investigator of the crimes committed by the bukele administration
15:25will remain in prison after her initial hearing against her finished on wednesday the persecution charge
15:33her on wednesday with illicit enrichment as a result her trial was declared in reserve by a judge this
15:43implied no media outlets could attend her hearings and in addition it entailed plaintiffs have no contact
15:49with the defendant thus by the time lopez was leaving the 12th peace court in san salvador she claimed to
15:57be a political prisoner because of her work against corruption and abuses of power by the government
16:03in this context outside the court activists gathered to express their solidarity with the lawyer
