Petra Martínez: “Con la muerte de Juan estoy emocionalmente amputada, pero la vida ha sido tan bonita que no puedo ser egoísta”

Resenha, artigo, texto... @valterbitencourtjuniorpoetaeescritor.wordpress.com@valterbitencourtjuniorpoetaeescritor.wordpress.com ·O Custo da Barbárie: O Futuro Mutilado pelas Ambições Geopolíticas
As consequências das guerras sempre deixam sequelas que jamais serão apagadas. Sabe-se que há uma grande devastação territorial que, por sua vez, é irrecuperável; não apenas pelo impacto ambiental causado pelos conflitos, mas pelo modo como todo um povo é atingido. Esse peso sobrecai na população, que se sente desabrigada e desolada, restando apenas o desamparo e a sensação de abandono ao ver os tratados que deveriam garantir a segurança internacional serem quebrados. É, acima de tudo, a dor de quem perde membros da família ou a dor de ter o próprio corpo mutilado por bombardeios.
Faz um ano que Mahmoud Ajjour teve os braços amputados devido a um bombardeio de Israel contra a Cidade de Gaza. A fotografia dele, tirada pela fotógrafa palestina Samar Abu Elouf, ganhou o prêmio World Press Photo 2025. Foi uma das imagens mais chocantes diante dos ataques que ocasionaram a morte de crianças e bebês, deixando toda uma população refém de autoridades tiranas e suas ambições geopolíticas. Hoje, Mahmoud vive em Doha, no Catar, onde aprende a realizar tarefas cotidianas com os pés — um símbolo vivo de uma infância interrompida pela violência.
A fotografia de Mahmoud Ajjour, tirada por Samar Abu Elouf, ganhou o prêmio World Press Photo 2025.A guerra nunca foi a verdadeira solução para os problemas humanos, por mais que muitos tentem apontá-la como a “libertação” de um povo preso a determinado sistema. Olhando para a atualidade, em abril de 2026, vemos o conflito escalar no Irã com ataques diretos de Israel e dos Estados Unidos. Muitos enxergam apenas uma disputa pelo petróleo ou controle estratégico, mas é necessário discorrer também sobre as ideologias de domínio que alimentam esses confrontos.
Não podemos esquecer que, neste novo conflito, até escolas foram bombardeadas, como o trágico ataque em Minab, no sul do Irã, que vitimou centenas de estudantes. É impossível ignorar o ultimato de Donald Trump, em 7 de abril de 2026, afirmando que “uma civilização inteira morrerá” caso suas exigências não fossem atendidas. O assassinato de crianças demonstra um ódio profundo e um desejo de extermínio que ignora fronteiras. O que aconteceu na Faixa de Gaza antecipou o horror que se repete agora: a tentativa de destruição do futuro em nome de um presente estratégico de domínio.
Túmulos são abertos para vítimas de ataque a escola em Minab, no Irã. Cerca de 150 pessoas morreram. — Foto: Iranian Foreign Media Department/WANA. #bombardeios #cessarFogo #conflitoOrienteMedio #crimesDeGuerra #criseHumanitaria #diplomacia #DireitosHumanos #EstadosUnidos #Extermínio #futuroDasNações #Gaza #geopolitica #Humanidade #impactoAmbientalDaGuerra #infanciaMutilada #ira #Israel #justiçaGlobal #MahmoudAjjour #Paz #politicaExterna #SamarAbuElouf #segurancaInternacional #traumaDeGuerra #WorldPressPhoto -

SIGUE ⬇️
En otra isla, un grupo reducido resistió bajo el mando de Wiebbe Hayes.
Sin apenas recursos, se organizaron, construyeron defensas y decidieron no ceder.
Cuando llegaron los ataques de los hombres de Cornelisz, por primera vez alguien dijo “hasta aquí”.Y aguantaron.
Esa resistencia cambió el curso de todo.
Meses después, el barco de rescate apareció en el horizonte.
Pelsaert había logrado regresar.
Pero lo que encontró no era un grupo de náufragos esperando ayuda.
Era el rastro de una masacre.Cornelisz fue capturado.
Y el castigo fue inmediato y brutal.
En un juicio improvisado en las propias islas, le amputaron ambas manos antes de ahorcarlo el 2 de octubre de 1629.
Murió sin arrepentirse, gritando y negando su culpa hasta el final.Sus seguidores más cercanos fueron ejecutados también: algunos colgados tras amputaciones, otros sometidos a castigos aún más duros.
A varios se les rompieron los huesos como parte de la ejecución pública.Y luego está uno de esos detalles que parecen irreales: dos implicados, Wouter Loos y Jan Pelgrom de Bye, fueron abandonados en la costa australiana.
Nunca se volvió a saber de ellos.El tesoro, en parte, se recuperó.
Siglos después, nuevas expediciones sacaron del fondo del mar monedas, objetos y restos del barco.
Pero lo más valioso no era eso.Era la historia.
Porque el Batavia no es solo un naufragio.
Es lo que pasa cuando desaparecen las normas, cuando el miedo manda y cuando alguien decide que puede hacer cualquier cosa.Y también es lo contrario.
Porque en medio de todo eso, hubo quienes eligieron resistir.
Y eso, al final, también forma parte de la historia.

CW: Latitante in Canada, arrestato in Italia
Il fuggitivo più ricercato del Canada, Dave "Pik" Turmel, è stato arrestato in Italia.
Il 28enne, in fuga da oltre un anno, è ritenuto il capo della violenta Blood Family Mafia ("mafia della famiglia del sangue").
Si tratta di una banda di strada coinvolta in brutali conflitti tra gang in Quebec, durante le quali le vittime sono state torturate e hanno avuto arti amputati.
L'anno scorso Roobens Denis, considerato dalla polizia canadese il braccio destro di Turmel, è stato arrestato in Portogallo.La polizia italiana ha riferito che Turmel è specializzato nella vendita di narcotici di vario genere, tra cui cocaina e metanfetamina, ed è stato "sorpreso nel suo nascondiglio" nella periferia romana dagli agenti del distretto di Roma Casilino. "Era quasi mezzanotte quando i funzionari sono entrati nella casa-vacanza dove l'uomo si era rifugiato". Secondo quanto riferito, ha consegnato un passaporto falso come identificazione e la polizia ha trovato e confiscato droga, diverse SIM-card e un'agenda. Ora è in prigione a Regina Coeli in attesa dell'estradizione. La sua presenza è stata inizialmente segnalata da un'allerta inviata alla polizia italiana dall'Interpol.
Gli agenti di polizia del Quebec avrebbero ricevuto una soffiata su Turmel negli ultimi giorni, che ha contribuito ad accelerare l'indagine per rintracciarlo in Italia. Le fonti affermano che l'informatore è stato motivato dalla ricompensa dell'offerta di 250 000 dollari per qualsiasi informazione che avesse condotto all'arresto di Turmel.
L'Interpol aveva anche emesso una red notice ("avviso rosso"): una richiesta alle forze dell'ordine in tutto il mondo per localizzare e arrestare provvisoriamente una persona in attesa di estradizione. L'estradizione potrebbe richiedere da 1 settimana a 6 mesi.
Il capo della polizia del Quebec, Denis Turcotte ha affermato: "credo che i cittadini saranno fieri di noi e continueranno a sentirsi al sicuro nella nostra città. Non puoi fare cose del genere da solo. Devi lavorare come squadra", ringraziando i partner locali e internazionali.
Ha sottolineato inoltre la creazione di un coordinatore di ricerca del fuggitivo, una posizione di impiego creata a dicembre, che ha agito come "conduttore d'orchestra" per aiutare a localizzare i latitanti, compreso Turmel.#canada #quebec #interpol #rednotice #latitanti #ricercati #poliziadistato #cooperazioneinternazionaledipolizia

Paris World Summit of Conscience, International interfaith gathering #3
Not only a political economic or ecological issue but the future of humanity that is at stake.
“Climate change is the defining challenge of our time. It affects us all, but it does not affect us all equally. We have a profound responsibility to protect and assist the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people and to pass on to future generations a planet that is thriving and healthy.”
Continuation of ‘Paris World Summit of Conscience, International interfaith gathering’ #1 & 2
2015, July 21, Paris Why do I care Interreligious meeting
For people who believe in the Divine Creator God and honour and worship Him there is no question that we can keep ourselves at the side and do nothing to change the way the world is behaving at the moment. Jews, Non-trinitarian and trinitarian Christians, Muslims who do know their Holy Scriptures are aware that man has no excuse how he treats the creation of the Most High.
Perhaps people may be a little bit selfish, in a certain way,trying to make a nice living and trying to make a better place for themselves. And it can well be that “Selfishness” does not have to mean being shortsighted and harmful to others, but we all do have to know what ever we do for ourselves may also effect the life of others. Often we find Christians thinking they are the only ones who have an idea about God’s creation and respect it. Some of them, like several atheists may see that man in his position has to play an important role in that universe. They see the dangers of our way of living at the moment. They fear climate change and know we do have something to do against it.
But also people from other religions, like Hindus as Mahamandeshwar Swami Avdeshanand Giri, religious leader of the Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha, India, said they saw climate change both as an existential threat and as an opportunity for renewal.In the afternoon reverend Takayuki Ashizu, Chief priest of Munakata Grand Shrine (Japan) was part of a discussion pannel with Jean-Luc Fauque, President of the Supreme Council of the European Confederation – the Scottish Rite, Rev. Fletcher Harper, Director of GreenFaith (USA), Sister Chan Khong, representative of the Thich Nhat Hanh Community (France), Fr. Dominique Lang, Chaplain of Pax Christi France, Author of the blog “Churches and Ecology”, and Mr Henrik Madsen, CEO DNV-GL, Norway.
Hindu leader Nandita Krishna, who has restored 50 sacred forests, feared that insatiable greed had gripped everyone on earth and this had led to climate change.
“We cannot replicate the environment or create it. Unless we see the divine in creation we will not understand our role and duty as humans,”
she said.
Bishop Nathan Kyamanywa, Bishop of Bunyoro Kitara (Uganda) was in charge of the Keynote addresses of the third plenary.
Bringing the day into its discussion between panelists Dr Vinya Ariyaratne, Director of the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement (Sri Lanka), M. Swami Amritasvarupananda, Amma’s representative (India), Sheikh Khaled Bentounes, Spiritual Guide of the Alawiyya Sufi brotherhood (Algeria), M Sailesh Rao, Director of “Climat Healers Initiative for Transformations” (USA), Ms Alina Saba, Environnemental activist (Nepal) and Bishop Frederick Onael Shoo, Founder of the Lutheran Movement for the Environment in Africa (Tanzania).
Guide spirituel de la Tariqa Alâwiyya, Cheikh Khaled Bentounes
Sheikh Bentounes, leader of the Sufi brotherhood Alawiya, urged mankind to carry “a hope of a future”.
Rabbi David Rosen, international director of Inter Religious Affairs “of the American Jewish Committee said:
“Climate change takes place where there is unbridled avarice. It is a symptom of the disease and cry for us to respond. It is the opportunity for humans to rediscover the higher values than materialism and indulgence.”
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, leader of 300 million Orthodox Christians, despaired at humanity’s blindness, but quoted writer Fyodor Dostoevsky saying that
“beauty would save the earth”.
For him as for many others it is clear that scientists and theologians agree that humanity depends on nature. Therefore he made an urgent appeal:
We must accept the moral imperative for action. Religion must also be involved in the crucial question of climate change.”
Mary Robinson, who served as the seventh, and first female, President of Ireland from 1990 to 1997, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, from 1997 to 2002, as President of the Mary Robinson Foundation- Climate Justice, found it truly inspiring to see leaders at this meeting in Paris from so many faiths and secular traditions, and to hear of their impressive commitment to the simple yet deeply profound message: “why I care”.
She said
Our lived experiences, our religious beliefs and our cultural backgrounds may be diverse – but you are showing that great traditions have a shared sense of morality and fairness, and a collective recognition of the need to act on climate change to protect people and our common home.
For her this is an example of human solidarity at work.
She outlined why she believes that it is this human solidarity that is the key to igniting
global will to act on the climate.The idea of human solidarity is sometimes misunderstood. Some people say that it is a well-meaning moral guideline, but it does not help political leaders to conduct negotiations and reach complicated legal agreements – including those that will be needed to reach a climate agreement in Paris later this year.
and said why she disagreed with this view.
Because if we look past all the complex science, economics, legal arguments and political negotiations which are necessary parts of the process towards a climate agreement, we can see that acting on climate change can be summarised very simply:
we can solve climate change if we care about each other, and if we act to help each other.Passing those two tests is the challenge of our generation, and will decide whether we leave our children and grandchildren a safe world of hope and fairness, or a world where climate change is causing misery and stress.
She spend a lot of time listening to people all around the world, and she thinks that a lot more people care about fairness and our collective future than we sometimes realise.
All across the world, people are witnessing the damage to lives and livelihoods caused by climate change, and are standing up to say that it is time to act.
At the meeting those present have shown the deep level of thinking that underpins why
different people care in different ways about climate action. So she strongly believes that
the first component of igniting climate action is already well underway,and today is a very important milestone in that process.
So perhaps the next challenge is to move from understanding why we must act on climate, to understanding how we collectively overcome the diverse obstacles to action faced by different people in different places around the world.We have to realise that peoples from throughout the developing world have their role to play.
There is no solution to climate change without the developing world. This is because most of the energy supply, buildings and transport infrastructure that has yet to be built will be in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Most of the supply of nutritious food to feed an ever more populous world will come from the same places. And the world’s major forests –
including the Amazon, Congo Basin and the forests of South East Asia – are in exactly the same regions. Energy, transportation, forests, agriculture – these will either be managed in a way that over-uses fossil fuels, locks in greenhouse emissions and damages our world, or in a way that protects people and preserves our natural home.
But energy, transportation and agricultural systems are not abstract concepts.
They are fundamentally about people, and their legitimate desire for development. And despite all the economic models and theoretical blueprints, we still live in a world where
too many people are prevented from making a low carbon development choice. We have to change the reality where poverty means that up to three billion people, mainly women, still cook using dangerous and dirty energy sources – the black carbon that comes from this use of coal, charcoal and wood makes an enormous contribution to climate change
as well as to deaths and ill-health.This is the reason why forest communities must be able to work with others to protect their forests, which was also stated earlier in the afternoon. She also wanted to ad that farmers must be free to find ways to move to more sustainable practices –
together deforestation and agricultural practices are about a fifth of all greenhouse gas emissions.
Indigenous peoples must be able to continue their traditional practices that help to preserve the innumerable benefits provided by our natural world.
The hundreds of millions of people living in slums across the world need access to affordable, sustainable food and energy – and to be consulted in the world-wide
drive for sustainable cities because they will form the majority of the population that will live in them.For her the whole world needs the people of the developing world to be able to use their innovation and their energy to create a new model of low carbon and equitable development.
Her foundation, which she set up to promote climate justice, summarises this new development model as zero carbon, zero poverty –
and we are certain that we can achieve these dual outcomes with the right kind of international co-operation.
she said.
Though she is also aware that this includes the need for international financing for climate action – not as aid, but rather as part of the collective global recognition that while today’s rich countries built their prosperity from fossil fuels and unsustainable land use, leaders from the developing world are trying to find a way to a more sustainable model of developing without emissions.
The United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change provides the platform for advancing this international co-operation – and Minister Fabius and the French Government, as hosts of the Paris climate meeting, have been impressive in their recognition of the need for a mature discussion about the approach to international climate finance.
She ended her speech by reminding us that
we can solve climate change if we care about each other, and if we help each other.
But this possibility will only be realized if concerned citizens, organisations and businesses from across the world build informed, respectful partnerships with those who are willing to lead in the developing world.She is finds it positive that there are many other individuals and organisations who are already thinking deeply about individual pieces of the climate puzzle. Women’s groups. Youth groups. Progressive businesses. Trades Unions. Grass-roots activists. In all countries, rich and poor.
She strongly urged those present to build from this meeting and reach out to all these groups.
If you do, your work today can be the spark that ignites an unprecedented wave of human
solidarity in the cause of climate action. You can gather into a “big tent” those who represent, and understand the lives of, billions of people.
Together, this movement can truly change the world.she said.
On 1st January, 2016, the Sustainable Development Goals become the new development agenda for our world. Many believe we should mark that day with special prayer and
reflection to bring us together as a human family.
Together, we can show the world that human solidarity is not only the domain of religions and human rights activists. Rather it is the golden key that unlocks the collective power of billions of people. Those people can act together to build a more resilient world, stabilise our climate, and create an unprecedented attack on global poverty and inequality.86-year-old Benin writer and politician Albert Teveodjré represented the views of secular thinkers.
“Nature was loaned to us as a place to live. I witness a world of profit at all costs which will ruin the environment and devastate everything. I am very worried. I think I will leave the world with many worries.”
Laurent Fabius, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, COP21 President, delivered the closing speech at the Summit of Conscience at the Economic, Social and Environmental Council.
Following the informal ministerial conferences on July 20 and 21, which mobilized the international community at the political level, this event will provide an opportunity to address civil society and, beyond that, the public, in order to ensure the success of COP21.The Summit has seen the launch of the “Green Faith in Action” project, a global initiative stemming from a coalition of partners with the objective of rendering pilgrimage destinations of all religious and spiritual persuasions, low-carbon cities resilient to climate disruptions. Three hundred million pilgrims travel to these cities each year.
As I wrote already in an other posting we do have to go “Forward ever, backwards never!” and should not only look for positive constructive dreams, which lead us further to the right path, but should also get more people involved in trying to work and motivate others to work at a balance in our position in creation and to find a good way to live in respect to nature. Let us for some moment think also that “Less… is still enough” and that we can, if we are inventive enough, find ways to still have more than we need, living in Luxury, without damaging nature around us. sometimes it would not be bad to take on ‘A bird’s eye and reflecting from within’. Let us look at what is going on, how we can stop the bad evolution, twist the curve of the negative way and come to a good healthy path for all creatures in the world.

The 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will take place in Paris in December this year. An effective and equitable international agreement will be critical for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit global temperature rise to 2 degree Celsius and for supporting adaptation to climate impacts. France, as the host and chair of COP21, is committed to the role of an impartial facilitator for forging an ambitious agreement at COP 21.

Alex Zanardi Tribute 🏎️
Today there was the very sad news of racing driver Alessandro “Alex” Zanardi’s passing at age 59. A heroic and inspiring figure for many millions around the world, he sadly often had a traumatic life alongside many moments of triumph.
The Italian racer also had bags of natural charisma and was clearly a lovely bloke and dedicated family man. He raced in Formula 1 without success, but won the American CART championships in 1997 and 1998.
However, he’s likely going to be most remembered for his incredible determination to overcome a terrible 2001 CART accident that cost him his legs. If any man deserves your respect, it’s Alex Zanardi.
The Legend That is Alex Zanardi
View this post on Instagram
Zanardi had his first taste of Formula 1 in the early 1990s with lower grid teams. In poor machinery he wasn’t able to make a name for himself, plus he was very lucky to survive a terrifying accident at Spa in August 1993. That ruled him out for the rest of the season.
Although he didn’t break any bones, he was left with major concussive trauma. Medical understanding of this was poor 30 years ago, so he was left to piece his mind back together with months of sitting in darkened rooms as makeshift intensive therapy.
Happier days were ahead, as his run in the US CART series brought him those two major title wins. That’s what put him on the map and got F1 team bosses interested in him again.
The 1999 F1 season was our first full year watching the sport. The Williams team (a big name on the grid, one of the places to be) had two new drivers that year, with Ralf Schumacher and the man himself Mr. Zanardi.
Team owner Sir Frank Williams had huge hopes for the Italian driver. He was fearless, dramatic, and ready to roll. He did stuff like this at Laguna Seca in 1996!
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKEW7cCxxjk?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&w=723&h=407]Unfortunately, one of our memories from 1999 is Zanardi’s horrendous season. It was a disaster.
He didn’t click with the cars and didn’t score a single point all year, whilst Ralf Schumacher was scoring podiums and regular points. There’s an excellent BBV10’s podcast episode dedicated to what went wrong.
At the end of the podcast, a guest speaker acknowledges Sir Frank Williams and Alex Zanardi loved each other. Despite the struggles of the working partnership, they could always crack a joke together and got on famously.
Williams later added his biggest regret in F1 was not being able to get the most out of Zanardi.
He left the sport at the end of 1999. After a brief hiatus, the driver returned to CART in 2001 and had a middling season. Then on 15th September 2001 (a handful of days after the 9/11 attacks) he had a horrendous accident at the American Memorial track. It’s remarkable he didn’t die, but he did require a double leg amputation.
He began appearing publicly again in 2002 and instantly showed incredible resilience. There’s a great interview with him from that year with former F1 driver Mark Blundell (the pair were good friends).
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHK1k9Za0fQ?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&w=723&h=407]After his rehabilitation he returned to racing in the European Touring Car Championship (in a modified car). He ended up scoring four wins between 2003 and 2009.
Then he turned his attention to a totally different sport. Handcycling! He was immediately a natural. He competed in the 2012 Summer Paralympics representing Italy and won a bunch of Golds at the 2012 London Paralympics, before winning more Golds at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympics. He also added triathlons into the mix.
Nine years ago, for his 50th birthday, he provided this interview to Sky Sports about his approach to life.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw9cli8tk34?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&w=723&h=407]Unfortunately, again, his life took another dark turn. In June 2020, he suffered a major head injury during the Obiettivo tricolore handcycling race. He was placed in a medically induced coma and needed extensive facial reconstructive surgery.
He returned to his home after 18 months of hospital rehabilitation. By that point he was speaking again, but he didn’t provide anymore media interviews after the accident.
The motorsport community hoped he’d recover fully. This has been a very sad development, but Zanardi does leave behind an incredible legacy that’ll continue to inspire many millions of people around the world.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this of him:
“A great champion and an extraordinary man, capable of turning every trial of life into a lesson in courage, strength, and dignity.”
His book Alex Zanardi: My Sweetest Victory: A Memoir of Racing Success, Adversity, and Courage (2004) is well worth a read to relive his journey.
RIP to a legend.
He was a part of our life from 1999 onward, when we were just teenagers. F1 may not have gone his way, but everything that followed turned him into one of the most important sporting figures in history.
