Latin America citizens fight for human rights
In an historic ruling in Chile this month, the Court of Appeals of San Miguel unanimously validated the right of Chilean parents to teach their children in study programs from their homes.
The ruling came after Chile’s Education Ministry rejected the high school diploma of a young man who studied via distance learning at Marble Falls Academy, a school based in Texas.
The decision precluded the young man’s beginning higher education. His parents, who decided that José Antonio Widow Aldunate should carry out his secondary studies from home, challenged the Education Ministry decision on the grounds of discrimination.
The court upheld Aldunate’s claim: “This is a victory for the rights of parents in Chile, in line with the human rights guarantees in international law,” said Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International Advocacy Director for Latin America Tomás Henríquez.
As May and June are the best months to collect fresh insects, Mexico last month held its annual Insect Festival in the towns of Puebla and Coyoacán, Mexico City.
Spiders, scorpions, ahuautle, escamoles, Chinicuiles, grasshoppers, chicatana ants, maguey worms, and jumiles, among other creeping things that crawleth, were offered as food.
April saw another festival called Bichopolis 2023, featuring two intensive days of conferences and workshops as part of their “sustainable development strategy.”
Mexico’s Finance Ministry and the German Financial Cooperation (KFW) organized what they called the 2023 “Sustainable Finance Festival,” to promote climate, biological, and gender demolition operations. Mexico and Germany are now official allies in "incorporating climate risks as a priority for financial stability” in their countries.
Ecuador’s president last week “invited” the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to “investigate” the assassination of former presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio in the middle of his electoral campaign in the country's capital. This, despite having a security detail assigned to him by Ecuador’s national police.
Costa Rica’s Movimiento for Health and Liberty organization last week filed a criminal complaint with the country’s Attorney General, requesting that government members and public officials be investigated for violating human rights, crimes against humanity, torture, aggravated treason, abusing authority, and more.
The complaint is the result of several attempts by doctors, lawyers, and citizens to alert agencies about adverse effects associated with COVID-19 shots. The complaint alleges the president and others involved failed to initiate the pertinent investigation and ignored warnings by professionals.
The complaint says: “Former Health Ministers Daniel Salas Peraza and Joselyn Chacón Madrigal acknowledged before legislature that COVID-19 shots are experimental, and it is not known or they cannot say what the possible risks of adverse effects are for those who receive them. Despite this, mandatory inoculation with these experimental drugs was imposed and maintained using manipulation, discrimination, and coercion, without even informing the population of the risks.”
Argentinian presidential candidate Senator Martin Lousteau proposes to advance hormonal therapies and surgeries in children under thirteen years of age if elected. Polls published by El Cronista last week place Lousteau in third place.
Lousteau wrote that as president he plans to "bring pediatricians trained in gender and diversity to the Health Centers, so they can guide and accompany children and families in applying the Gender Identity Law.”
In 2012, Argentina ratified its Gender Identity Law, making gender mutilation an easy step, according to the government website, making it "the first in the world that does not pathologize trans identities and allows access to the Registry change through a simple administrative procedure, without need to prove medical expertise, surgical interventions, or hormonal treatments.”
Argentina lags behind Norway, which had considered itself a “pioneer in trans law” for seven years, allowing hormonal and other treatments to minors without parental consent. (In fact, Argentina’s Gender Identity Law, implemented in 2012, was inspired by Norway.) Norway retracted this law in June for violating children’s human rights, and for lacking medical and scientific evidence.
