Protesters occupy downtown Santiago, Chile, after the end of the plebiscite
Voters decided by a large majority that Chile will have a new constitution. The decision was made by the population in a historic plebiscite organized on Sunday (25), a year after the wave of protests that gripped the country. The targets were mainly the political class.
From now on, Chileans must choose who will make up the constituent commission. After the new text is debated and approved by this group, another referendum, probably in 2022, will decide whether Chile will adopt the new constitution or not.

After the Chinese Coronavac vaccine, one of the candidates for immunization against Covid-19, stood at the center of an arm fight between President Jair Bolsonaro (without party) and the governor of the SP, João Doria (PSDB), The expectation this week is to know if the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) will authorize the import from China, by the Butantan Institute – linked to the government of São Paulo -, of the raw material necessary for the production of 40 million Coronavac dose.
The politicization of the issue is seen by public health experts as a threat to delay the access of Brazilians to the vaccine against the new coronavirus. Political opponents Bolsonaro and Doria led a political dispute last week whose central issue is the purchase of immunizers.
Bolsonaro accuses Doria of having capitalized on an announcement by Pazuello about an intention agreement to buy 46 million doses of the vaccine that should be produced in São Paulo. Annoyed, the president overruled the health minister and spoke of canceling the agreement. The governor of São Paulo accuses Bolsonaro of being a denier.
The controversy, which includes whether vaccination will be mandatory or not, has already ended in the Supreme Court. The president of the Court, Minister Luiz Fux, said that Justice will have to make a decision

Three days after starting to publicly exchange criticism with the Secretary of Government, Luiz Eduardo Ramos, the Minister of the Environment, Ricardo Salles, said on Sunday (25) in a social network that he apologized to his colleague.
The disagreement between them began after a report published by the newspaper O Globo, in which it is mentioned that Salles “stretched the rope” with the military wing to test the armor delivered by the president. The text was published shortly after Salles ordered the suspension of the action of Ibama agents in areas of the country where there are fires and an alleged lack of resources. The military disapproved of the measure, which was seen as a provocation, since the head of the Amazon Council is Vice President Hamilton Mourão, who is a general in the Army reserve and has not been consulted on the matter.
On the occasion, Minister Salles accused Ramos of being a “gossip Maria”, which generated a reaction from the leaders of Congress in defense of Ramos, who works with President Bolsonaro.
Finally, Salles apologized for what he called “excess” and, according to him, put an end to the matter.
