The question:
To what extent do you think COVID-19 alters or changes the exercise of politics or how should it adapt to these new circumstances?
Senator María Fernanda Cabal, from the Democratic Center, replied:
-Of course the Coronavirus changed the way of doing politics. There will be no crowds. Until now, this activity has been carried out in direct contact with people, through outreach to communities through meetings that can be crowded. All this is modified and it is a real challenge to reinvent yourself. Digitization in communications will be strengthened and expanded. From the Senate we have attended virtual meetings from which good results have been obtained, such as more active participation by senators, greater political control, greater connectivity of citizens to public management. The use of digital platforms connects all people, facilitates the exercise of politics, which will impact, among other things, the way in which campaigns will be carried out.
Language day
Today is Language Day. In Colombia, a decree 707 issued in 1938 by the then President of the Republic, Alfonso López Pumarejo, was instituted as a tribute, in addition to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, author of Don Quixote de la Mancha, the most representative literary work in the Spanish language.
Subsequently, the United Nations Organization also declared April 23 the day of the Spanish language.
Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares (Spain) on September 29, 1547, although it is also said that there is no precision of his birth. He died in Madrid on April 23, 1616. In 1605 he published the first part of Don Quixote de la Macha and in 1616 the second.
Three days ago, Dina Moscovici, who was married to the poet Jorge Gaitán Durán, a native of Norte Santander, author of a widely recognized literary work, died in Brazil.
Irene Vasco wrote the following note: “In 1950, Paris was a party. There, Syvia and Dina Moscovici, young Brazilian students, met Gustavo Vasco and Jorge Gaitán Durán, young Colombian students. The party did not end in Paris. Soon, the two couples, Dina and Jorge (my uncles), Sylvia and Gustavo (my parents), traveled to Bogotá. Amid the best parties of the time, they removed the Colombian artistic scene. Dina, the last stronghold of this generation, has just met those who had already left. Surely, in the other dimension, they will publish a new Mito magazine, create large theater groups, make children’s television programs, and invent the Iberoamerican Theater Festival. See you soon, dear Aunt Dina. Your legacy remains among us all. I lovingly hug Paula, Juan David and their children, my younger cousins, who took such good care of her.

To the pronouncements of the so-called watchdog Francisco Palacios, about which was reported in this column, Councilor Oliverio Castellanos delivered the following statement:
Throughout these three periods in the Council of Cúcuta we have held important debates against Public Service companies such as Power Plants, Aguas Kpital, Urban Cleaning and Public Lighting due to the rise in rates, poor service provision and their ineffectiveness in some sectors, without ignoring that in some cases the actions they have carried out in favor of Cucuteños have been highlighted, which is not a sin.
So, I do not understand why the aforementioned “Citizen Veedor” Francisco Palacios, wants to muddy my name pointing out to me scoundrel for saying that the city has “regulated energy, an energy that in the national ranking gives us the ninth place in a few months, after thirteen, but that is not the most expensive energy and that thank God we have a Colombian company ”.
Mr. Palacios: as representative of the cucuteños in the Council, I invite you to attend the sessions, to watch the debates, to propose and not to object, to analyze, think and meditate before speaking and do not speak before analyzing, think and lecture.
I want to make it clear that the video that was sent to you, was not in the current period of government of Jairo Yáñez, but that it was taken from a political control that the Council of Cúcuta made to Power Plants in the previous government and to which as always you did not attend.
As a common people (rabble, mob or populace) it is very good for you to go out and rant about those who perhaps are not your friends, do not share your ideas or do not belong to the same political group. For this reason, I reiterate my invitation to work for the city, without hatred, rancor, political colors, more in this situation in which we are living today and in which we all need is unity.
