Deadly election campaign

In guatemala, dozens of candidates for political office have been murdered since the beginning of may

The symbolism of the act leaves little room for interpretation: when the body of mayoral candidate carlos de leon bravo was found in the trunk of a car on the first weekend of august, it was wrapped in the flag of the left party meeting for guatemala. The murder of leon bravo continues a series of apparently politically motivated murders during guatemala’s current election campaign. Since the start of the campaign on 2. According to non-governmental organizations, more than 50 candidates have lost their lives in the last few months.

The violence has primarily affected the left and the moderate left. The most promising candidate, alvaro colom of the social democratic national unity of hope (UNE), alone has lost 17 candidates from his grouping in recent months. But also affected is the fledgling party of nobel peace prize laureate rigoberta menchĂș, meeting for guatemala (EG). In a fire attack on the house of EC candidate olga lucas a few days ago, both of her children were wounded.

Tesla may continue in Grunheide - Court has urgent application

The nature conservation association and the grune liga brandenburg are repeated with an urgent application against premature approval in the construction of the factory of the US electric carconzer tesla in grunheide at berlin again. The oberanverwaltungsgericht berlin-brandenburg pointed to today’s wednesday complaint of the environmental association against a decision of the administrative court frankfurt (oder) of june (OVG 11 S 78/21). Thus, tesla can test and use and use aggregates in the giverie, the paint shop and in the bodywork and build tanks for winding and testing purposes.

The OVG established the decision of the administrative court, which had rejected the urgent application against the early years. The environmental associations had not asserted that because of the then possible tests with non-adequately considered pilgrimage or other impregnations of the environment must be expected. The urgent application is also inadequate because the association had not put forward that they were for the protection of nature and the environment for the decision in their area of responsibility – the protection of nature and the environment -. Tesla is missing for the construction of the factory the final environmental approval permit. The company therefore builds on several premature beds.

However, no one has presented any concrete evidence yet "intelligence", NBC reported on wednesday that the telephone conversation between two of its "supporters" who had spoken about the successful operation.

Bath, who had made a fortune as a representative of two saudi multi-millionaires: khalid ibn mahfouz and salim ibn ladin, the cousin and mentor of usama.
