FC Barcelona is accused of contractual fraud and corruption among private parties. The article argues that the case should have been handled in civil rather than criminal court, questioning the direct or indirect benefit to the club from the contracts in question. It discusses the lack of benefit from preferential options on players and the mutual benefits of friendly matches, which include television rights and ticket sales. The article also critiques the prosecution's argument on corruption, which is based on payments made to Neymar, suggesting that the arguments are weak.

On International AIDS Day, the situation in Venezuela is particularly dire due to the deepening humanitarian crisis. Since 2017, there has been a shortage of state-provided antiretroviral treatments, leading to increased deaths among HIV patients and migration of virus carriers. The government, the sole distributor of these treatments since 2019, has consistently failed to deliver them. Over 79,000 people with HIV have been without medication since 2017, and deaths have risen from 1,800 to over 5,000 in five years. Current medications are supplied through donations from ONUSIDA and the Pan American Health Organization, with contributions from the World Bank. Activists like Alberto Nieves from ACCSI demand that the state secure funds to ensure treatment and adequate response to the epidemic.

Venezuela's economic crisis since 2015 and the decline in oil production have led the government to focus on mining as a new source of revenue. Patricia Salamanca, who owns land within the mining area, is required to sell the gold she extracts to the government. The Arco Minero initiative has seen an increase in both legal and illegal mining activities, with the government buying 9.2 tons of gold in 2018. Military companies and joint ventures with Russia and China have been established, but transparency issues have been raised. Alexander Luzardo, a professor, criticizes the legal mining supported by the state as the worst kind due to fraudulent laws and environmental violations. The mining project, created in 2016, was expected to generate billions annually, and has become President Nicolás Maduro's quick solution to obtain funds and retain power.
