Bogota, Jun 27 (Prensa Latina) The Constitutional Court of Colombia halted the investigation carried out by the National Electoral Council (CNE) against President Gustavo Petro, for alleged irregularities in the financing of his campaign, according to the national press.

The CNE is not competent to investigate President Petro, the court ruled in response to a tutelary action filed by the head of state himself, who alleged that the process was not being duly respected.

According to the Court's decision, the CNE must deliver a copy of all the investigative actions to the House of Representatives, which is the competent instance to judge the president.

The case started in 2024, when the CNE opened an investigation against Petro, who allegedly exceeded the spending limits established during the electoral campaign that led him to the presidency in 2022.

Analysts in the South American nation attach great importance to what they consider a political victory of Petro over right-wing sectors that promote actions to destabilize the government and prevent it from making progress in the implementation of its social projects.

What are the exact terms of the cease-fire agreement?

The only publicly available information comes from what the American president chose to share with his millions of followers. [...] What promises did the Americans make to Israel, and the Qataris to Iran? Did either side agree to future limitations on its conduct? Are there established boundaries for retaliation in case of cease-fire violations? Did Iran make any concessions related to its nuclear program, or what remains of it? Has Israel received any guarantees from Trump on that issue?

For now, we are in the dark about these key issues, and they could determine both the durability of this cease-fire, and the main threats to its longer-term viability.

How bad is the damage to Iran's nuclear sites?

As the dust begins to settle, we still don't know the extent of the damage caused to [the installations at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan], or how long it might take Iran to repair them, should it choose to do so. [...] If parts of these sites still exist, and Iran tries to use what is left of them to push forward with its nuclear program, the period of peace and stability we have been promised could turn out to be a rather short one.

What happened to Iran's stockpile of 60% enriched uranium?

Where Iran is currently storing it [we] don't know, and it may take a long time before we'll have an answer. [...] Israel will obviously try to use its intelligence penetration of Iran to gather more information on the stockpile – and perhaps to seize it or destroy it. Such actions could trigger an Iranian response, and the fighting could resume almost exactly where it left off.

Does the cease-fire agreement also include the Houthis in Yemen?

[[unaswered]] Whether or not they are part of the Israel-Iran cease-fire is an important question – especially in light of a potential Israeli shortage of defensive interceptors.

What will be the impact on the war in Gaza?

With the Iran front at least temporarily closed, Israel will now turn its focus completely to Gaza.

Washington, 23 jun (Prensa Latina) El Partido para el Socialismo y la Liberación (PSL) advirtió que, con el ataque de Estados Unidos a Irán, el presidente Donald Trump destroza hoy las esperanzas de paz.

The U.S. political organization, founded in 2004, said in a statement that Trump's actions, based on lies, could plunge the Middle East and perhaps the world into an even more devastating conflict, “possibly triggering a regional and global war.”

Trump lied when he promised to keep the peace in the United States; he also lied when he said Iran was about to develop a nuclear weapon, contrary to the opinion of his own intelligence community, he noted.

The PSL recalled that, since the George W. Bush administration, the United States has invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, bombed Libya, Syria and Yemen, and made possible the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

It also criticized that, in his speech to the nation to announce the attack on Iran, President Trump thanked and congratulated “Prime Minister Bibi (Benjamin) Netanyahu”.

The statement asserted that indeed “the hypocrisy is striking” because “Israel is a nuclear weapons state, but refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the United States has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and is the only country to have used nuclear weapons in a war.”

The allegation that “Iran is developing nuclear weapons” is a poor imitation of George W. Bush's lie about Iraq's alleged “weapons of mass destruction,” which is equally false, he said. The American people do not want another endless war and will take to the streets to shout “No to war against Iran”, he concluded.

Just this Sunday there were demonstrations in New York's Times Square and in front of the White House, as a reflection of the discontent of many sectors of US society opposed to the escalation of the war.

Some reports indicate that the mobilization in the heart of Manhattan gathered around five thousand people who chanted “Hands off Iran!”, “No to the US-Israel war against Iran!” and “No to World War III!” and raised signs reading “Peace now, war never”, among other messages.

Similar slogans were heard in front of the core of U.S. power, where groups of protesters responded to the call of the peace organizations CodePink and ANSWER Coalition.

On Saturday afternoon, President Trump announced on Truth Social, “We have completed our successful strike against the three nuclear facilities in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.” Shortly afterwards before TV cameras he called the operation a “spectacular military success.”

Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian warned the day before that the attack ordered by Trump on nuclear facilities in his country proves that the United States is the main architect of the hostile actions of the Zionist regime of Israel against the Islamic Republic.
