All that for this! At the start of 2023, in a press release, the two social landlords SIA Habitat and the Société Immobilière du Grand Hainaut (SIGH) announced “to begin discussions for a merger.” A year later, the communication is quite different: “SIA Habitat and SIGH have informed the authorities and staff of the two entities of their decision not to pursue their merger project…

Forestry unions warn of shortcomings in the fire bill – La Discusión 2024-03-19 15:30:58
Seven organizations from the forestry world warned, through a public statement, of the shortcomings of the bill that seeks to regulate the prevention of forest and rural fires (Bulletin 16335-14) and raised the need for more comprehensive legislation.
The signatories, including Corma, Pymemad, the Association of Forestry Contractors and the College of Forestry Engineers, assured that, “it is urgent to have a fire law that is truly up to the problem we face as a society. That is, a legal body that provides capabilities to the State and the respective owners to prevent the occurrence of fires, fight with adequate resources and reduce the spread of fire, investigate the causes and pursue intentionality, and recover the areas affected by fires. .
Along these lines, they expressed that the project in process, “focuses mainly on reducing the spread, it does not comprehensively address the complete fire management cycle. It does not provide new preventive tools nor does it address the gaps in the fight once morest intentionality and negligence, nor does it consider sufficient support for rural areas affected by fires, especially small landowners.”
“Chile needs a fire law that prevents catastrophes like the one that occurred this summer in the Valparaíso region, which cost the lives of 133 compatriots and which still has no responsibilities following the origin and management of the emergency. This tragedy with the current project would not have been avoided, because with its reductionist approach, it does not take care of the urban reality that exists at the interface,” they noted.

Companies have been approved to sell naloxone without a prescription in pharmacies
– The overdose-reversing drug naloxone saves lives. But the availability of this medicine in Sweden has been too low. Today, I am therefore extremely happy that naloxone will soon be able to be sold without a prescription in Swedish pharmacies. It will save lives, said Social Affairs Minister Jakob Forssmed (KD) on one press conference on Tuesday.
It concerns an application from a company to supply naloxone as a nasal spray for non-prescription sale in the country, which the Medical Products Agency has now agreed to. This should make Sweden one of the first countries in Europe where this is possible.
The Swedish Medicines Agency made a renewed legal assessment during the autumn. And following it, it has become clear that the legal prerequisites exist for over-the-counter sales. And such an application has been received, which has now been approved.
– Among other things, it will require that the person who buys naloxone nasal spray receives advice at the same time as buying, regarding what an opioid overdose looks like, as well as an instruction on how to give it, said Director General of the Medical Products Agency Björn Eriksson.
Jakob Forssmed told during the press conference that he himself saw to it that relevant pharmaceutical companies were reached by the information regarding the Swedish Medicines Agency’s decision, because the companies are based abroad.
When asked when the drug might be available without a prescription, Jakob Forssmed said that there is nothing to prevent it from happening before the summer.
In several parts of the country there are programs for naloxone, where people can get the drug free of charge or within the high-cost coverage. Jakob Forssmed stated that those opportunities will remain.
– This is regarding an expanded opportunity, not least for relatives or other people who are in these risk environments, but may not have their own addiction, said the Minister of Social Affairs.
The National Board of Health and Welfare has previously had a government mission to actively increase the availability of naloxone, which resulted in information material and knowledge support. It has also meant that naloxone is available in ambulances, Olivia Wigzell, director general at the National Board of Health and Welfare, told the press conference.
Last fall, the government’s special investigator Thomas Lindén, chief medical officer and head of department at the National Board of Health and Welfare, submitted the final report in the so-called drug investigation. It was initiated by the previous government in 2022, and it addressed, among other things, the importance of naloxone. When handing over to the current government, Jakob Forssmed also promised a particularly quick preparation of the issue.

Gang leader who kidnapped ex-military member is from the “Tren de Aragua” – La Discusión 2024-03-19 15:29:19
The police managed to identify who would be the leader of the group that committed the crime of the former Venezuelan military man, Ronald Ojeda, whose body was found last week in a shooting in Maipú.
This is Walter de Jesús Rodríguez Pérez, a Venezuelan citizen linked to the Aragua Train, a transnational criminal organization present in the country.
According to the background of the investigation to which DNA was able to access, the evidence that points to Rodríguez Pérez as the leader of the kidnapping is based on forensic and intelligence findings collected during the investigation, specifically, the identification of fingerprints on the vehicle used in the kidnapping and in two cell phones found on the Costanera Norte Highway, where the car was abandoned.
Likewise, the 28-year-old Venezuelan citizen, residing in the Metropolitan Region, has three current arrest warrants for two kidnappings and a robbery with intimidation, and is considered the main suspect and leader of the criminal group responsible for the kidnapping and murder of Ronald Ojeda.
In addition, the authorities have established the connection between Rodríguez Pérez and the criminal organization “Tren de Aragua”. In proceedings related to previous cases of kidnapping and robbery with intimidation, his participation in this transnational criminal gang of Venezuelan origin was evident.
Second involved
Likewise, the identification of another man linked to the case was achieved: Maickel Villegas Rodríguez. The key information to identify the subject of interest was obtained through the review of security cameras at a Copec service center, where the fuel load of a Chevrolet Sail vehicle was observed.
More specifically, it was found that Villegas Rodríguez had made his real RUT to obtain benefits from the purchase at the gas station. Meanwhile, it is suspected that both subjects, Walter de Jesús and Maickel, fled the country.
