Suscribe x MercoPress, en Español Montevideo, May 5th 2025 - 12:23 UTC Brazilian authorities canceled the auction for the São Borja-Santo Tomé International Bridge due to a lack of bidders The project -requiring a US$ 99 million investment over 25 years- sought to modernize the 15.62-kilometer structure with upgrades like new access lanes Initially postponed due to alleged irregularities the auction was later cleared but failed to attract proposals The bridge handles 23% of commerce between Argentina and Brazil by linking the city of São Borja in the state of Rio Grande do Sul with the municipality of Santo Tomé in the Argentine province of Corrientes The bridge is the result of a 1989 bi-national agreement “The auction of the São Borja-Santo Tomé International Bridge was canceled due to the absence of proposals,” Brazil's Transport Ministry said in a statement Since it is “a pioneer project in Brazil” it will carry out “a detailed technical analysis” to identify the factors that led to the cancellation of the auction and try to overcome them in a future bidding process The concession also contemplated border operations guaranteeing “efficient” attention to cargo vehicles and inspections required by regulatory agencies The auction was initially scheduled for Jan 7 but was suspended by one of the magistrates of the Brazilian Court of Accounts (TCU) for alleged “irregularities.” The suspension was requested by the company Ponta Negra Soluções Logísticas e Transportes one of the interested parties in the process which pointed out “inconsistency in the traffic data presented” and an “alteration of the technical qualification criteria” for those interested in participating in the auction The measure was reversed by the court plenary which ruled that the decision should be taken by the Argentine-Brazilian Joint Commission Commenting for this story is now closed.If you have a Facebook account, become a fan and comment on our Facebook Page!

4-1 on aggregate to advance to the Copa Libertadores final Sao Paulo started brightly as they looked to claw back a 2-0 deficit from a first-leg home loss a week ago as Jonathan Calleri headed home from the centre of the box from a cross in by Michel Bastos But Borja fired Atletico back to level terms just seven minutes later when teammate Orlando Berrío found him in the centre of the penalty area with a through ball The two teams stayed deadlocked for nearly 60 minutes after that until Sao Paulo's Carlinhos was whistled for a handball in the box and Borja stepped up to convert the penalty and all but put the game away were shown red cards in the 79th minute to further put the match out of reach for the Brazilian club Atletico is now into their first Copa Lib final in 21 years and will

scored twice as Colombian side Atletico Nacional beat nine-man Sao Paulo 2-1 on Wednesday night and 4-1 on aggregate to advance to the Copa Libertadores final Sao Paulo started brightly as they looked to claw back a 2-0 deficit from a first-leg home loss a week ago The Pampa grassland of South America covers just 2% of Brazil’s territory dwarfed to the north by the immense rainforest wetland and savanna landscapes of the Amazon But while global attention focuses on these latter three with much of the grassland vegetation cleared for agriculture and forestry agricultural land use in the Brazilian Pampa increased by 2.1 million hectares (5.2 million acres) while forestry plantations (pine and eucalyptus) expanded by more than 720,000 hectares (1.8 million acres) — growth of 1,667% The research also looked at the Uruguayan and Argentine portions of the Pampa (across the three countries the biome covers a total area of 110 million hectares or 272 million acres — nearly twice the size of France) It showed a total reduction of 20% of the grassland vegetation in the biome from 1985-2022 including 9.1 million hectares (22.5 million acres) of native grassland Hectare for hectare, the Brazilian Pampa has the greatest biodiversity of plant species of any of the country’s biomes an agronomist at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) But this has suffered drastically as the native vegetation is cleared the biome is among the most degraded in the country ahead of the Amazon and the Cerrado,” Tiecher says The loss of the ecosystem is the main threat to native fauna and flora “Around a quarter of rural birds are subject to some degree of extinction threat in at least one part of the biome and around 30 species of mammals are at risk of disappearing forever,” he says amphibians and plants are also threatened.” says agricultural expansion in the Pampa is taking place so rapidly that researchers are unable to monitor the real state of conservation across the biome “On every trip to the biome to monitor and research the annual fish we come across a more critical situation in relation to the known areas of occurrence and others that are suitable for their survival,” he says Santos cites the case of annual rivulids, or cloud fish which inhabit small ponds that form in the grasslands during the rainy they grow very quickly and already reproduce because at the end of spring their aquatic environments dry up and they die,” Santos says “But their eggs are buried in the mud and won’t hatch until next year there is no indication that unique species of fish live there.” The advance of agriculture and forestry plantations — and the consequent destruction of large areas of native grassland and fields — is also contributing to aggravating an old problem in the Brazilian Pampa dotted throughout Brazil’s south and southwest when most of south-central Brazil was an immense desert Known geologically as the Botucatu Formation caused by the gradual weathering of bedrock arenization regions in Brazil are considered areas of special attention driven by movements of water and wind over the course of millions of years is associated with factors such as climate may or may not be related to agricultural activities Verdum says these sandy patches in the Pampa are related to the susceptibility of the region’s rocks and soils to the dynamics of torrential rains and periods of drought the sandy areas are constantly being reworked by climatic agents essentially water and wind,” he says Agricultural activities in naturally fragile areas coupled with a bedrock that’s highly susceptible to arenization boost the factors that initiate and contribute to this process “The impacts of poor soil use and management using technologies that are unsuitable for the fragile soils of this region could be one of the main factors contributing to the emergence of new outbreaks of arenization in the current context,” Verdum says says what’s happening in the Pampa is the intensification of erosive processes associated with arenization “The soils are fragile and poorly consolidated or the weight of agricultural machinery itself can compact the soil and help to develop furrows through which water will flow in a concentrated manner until it develops ravines and these processes move and expand sandy sediments through the action of water and wind Verdum says there hasn’t been a net expansion in sandy areas since monitoring carried out in the 1980s But they could still be aggravated by agricultural production these barren spots cover 3,663 hectares (9,051 acres) spread across the municipalities of Alegrete This might be just a fraction of the total extent of the Pampa but it’s significant for each landowner whose property is affected by the phenomenon a rice grower and president of the Rural Union of Itaqui and Maçambará of which 46 hectares (114 acres) were sand patches when he bought the property more than 15 years ago as it amounted to more than a third of my property,” he says That’s why he decided to restore the area Borges achieved good results by covering the sand with rice husks or rice ash around 25-30 hectares [62-74 acres] have been reclaimed,” he says the natural vegetation has returned.” Borges’s success contrasts favorably with the more common method of trying to recover sandy areas here sometimes with the support of the state government of Rio Grande do Sul have sought to green the areais by planting eucalyptus trees “Many of the proposals for economic activities which see the sands only as a problem to be tackled are responsible for interventions that decharacterize the landscape and alter the dynamics of this ecosystem,” Silva says This is the shortcoming of the forestry approach he says: the idea that the solution should also be commercially viable the sand area is not recovered; it is only hidden in aerial images and all the biodiversity adapted to the region is replaced by eucalyptus and leaves on the ground,” he says “Some plant species are endemic to sandy fields The erosion processes don’t stop and the natural dynamics are altered not to mention the landscape transformation which changes the herbaceous and shrub vegetation with sandy fields into a large ‘green wall.’” This story was reported by Mongabay’s Brazil team and first published here on

2014) – The LA Galaxy announced today that the club has acquired Brazilian forward Samuel on loan from Fluminense of Brazil’s Serie A The 22-year-old joins the Galaxy after spending the past two seasons with Fluminense tallying 15 goals in 72 appearances across all competitions for the Rio de Janeiro-based side including one in his last game for the club early last month Samuel will be added to the Galaxy roster pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P1 Visa Per club and league policy terms of the loan agreement were not disclosed.  “We are pleased to add Samuel to our roster,” said LA Galaxy Head Coach and General Manager Bruce Arena We are confident his addition will help boost our attack in 2014.” Samuel debuted for Fluminense during the 2012 Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A season scoring five goals in 23 league appearances for the club which won their fourth championship in club history that year He also made five appearances in the 2012 Campeonato Carioca which is the regional championship for the state of Rio de Janeiro helping lead the club to that title as well the 22-year-old had nine goals in 45 appearances in all competitions four times in the Campeonato Carioca and once in the Copa do Brazil He started in 12 of his 24 league appearances for Fluminense while also appearing in eight games during that year’s Copa Libertadores helping his team reach the quarterfinals of South America’s premier continental club competition Samuel began his professional career with Internacional in 2009 He won the first of three youth championships with the club that year helping Internacional claim the Campeonato Gaúcho Under-20 title Samuel and the Porto Alegre club won both the 2010 Campeonato Gaúcho Under-19 championship and the inaugural Campeonato Brasileiro Under-23 crown such as the Indigenous cultures and the African diaspora in Latin America in addition to the Arab world and the Asian continent The exhibition aims to overrule the hierarchies that were imposed with the transition to modernity in light of the capitalist colonial project which can be visited until December 10 at Ibirapuera Park — an emblem of rationalist purism projected by architect Oscar Niemeyer — is directed by a diverse team: curator Diane Lima anthropologist and art researcher Hélio Menezes (both Brazilians) and the Portuguese artist and theorist Grada Kilomba all three of African descent; with them is Spanish Manuel Borja-Villel in his first project since he left the management of the Reina Sofía Museum in January The result is similar to other recent attempts to establish a counter-narrative of art history, such as the latest Documenta or the 2022 Venice Biennale “Our work does not aspire to create a counter-image but to abandon the discourses that have been imposed on us as universal narratives,” explained Kilomba but ignoring that hegemonic model seems desirable when it is time to create other worldviews the biennial opposes the Western conception of time as a straight line that advances towards a supposedly better future substituted here by the temporality of native peoples collectives and social movements who understand time as a spiral who believe in recurrences and who break with the idea of the past present and future as if they were hermetic categories,” explains Menezes The setting itself reflects that idea: it is an immense open space where one can wander with no defined sections or literal themes guided by “an enigma,” in the words of Borja-Villel At the beginning of the exhibition there is an installation titled Parliament of Ghosts, by Ghanaian Ibrahim Mahama that presents an empty brick square next to an abandoned railway close to another work by Brazilian Ana Pi in which revolving metal blades penetrate some reddish earth; two metaphors of Western extractivism in which the silence of the oppressed seems to reign a mix between Darth Vader and Mickey Mouse is poised for cutting logs with a chainsaw in a monumental installation that recreates a glade who is determined to denounce “the genocide of the forests” and the harmful potential of the American cultural imperialism their songs and their superheroes,” said Tahimik the Guatemalan Marilyn Boror Bor presented the pedestal of an absent sculpture without a heroic figure crowning the ensemble which the artist dedicated to “the freedom of rivers this one also scours the past in search of some tutelary figures that promoted this vindication of the excluded and defended mutant identities African-American Charles White or Franco-Antillean filmmaker Sarah Maldoror Borja-Villel obtained the supposedly impossible loan of an invaluable series of 116 Bolivian watercolors from the 19th century which subvert and satirize the colonial order and even contemplate an “upside-down world” where an ox uses two men The Cabello/Carceller duo reminds us that gender dissent is not strictly a recent matter through the story of Catalina de Erauso the lieutenant nun who took part in the Conquest with a papal bull that allowed her to dress as a man presents a long series of graffiti that was transferred from the walls of prisons and psychiatric hospitals to the walls of the museum albeit with no intention to take up the discourses on naïve art that used to be so popular in the world of art until not so long ago a series of pagan altars and mutant totems reflect the hybrid nature of contemporary identity in the works of Latin American artists such as Elda Cerrato Benvenuto Chavajay stages atavistic rituals in current contexts as if reaffirming their usefulness and validity in the present in a fantasy example that ethnography would surely reject as unscientific A similar role is played by the Yanomami filmmakers who capture the dreams of the members of this Amazonian people in a series of videos that oscillate between the anthropological document and the poetic license The biennial is also committed to rereading the archives, as they tend to “condemn the losers to always be losers,” says Borja-Villel. A photographic collection about Argentine transgender individuals shows that they were not only victims of violent oppression; they were also beings who desired and were desired Rosa Gauditano’s work documents the lives of lesbians in São Paulo who in addition to being ostracized are also excellent pool players while Zumví Arquivo Afro Fotográfico shows the lives of the members of the working class in Salvador de Bahía more complex than what the media shows: the nuns demonstrate the poor have fun and the carnival is a political celebration Between dissident cosmogonies and large-format installations created with natural materials such as textiles, terracotta and turmeric in the work of Daniel Lie, one can find the restaurant of the biennial, run by the Movimento Sem Teto do Centro which fights for the right to decent housing in the city It only serves organic and ethically produced food “against the chemicals that slowly poison us,” Menezes states a series of colored banners display slogans such as “Domestic is political” or “Ask the soil and the roots.” Sign up for our weekly newsletter to get more English-language news coverage from EL PAÍS USA Edition ¿Quieres añadir otro usuario a tu suscripción ¿Por qué estás viendo esto? cambia tu suscripción a la modalidad Premium Cada uno accederá con su propia cuenta de email lo que os permitirá personalizar vuestra experiencia en EL PAÍS ¿Tienes una suscripción de empresa?

US dollar crisis signed a three-season contract with the club after an economic operation worth US$ 7 million involving Colombian club Junior of Barranquilla as owners of the player's transfer rights and Sao Paulo's Palmeiras where the footballer was on loan He had his medical check-up,” River's second vice-president Ignacio Villarroel announced in a radio interview The Colombian striker thanked “God for the opportunity he is giving me to be able to go to one of the best [clubs] in the continent.” It will be Borja's second spell in Argentine soccer after playing for Bahía Blanca's Olimpo in

Levi Fanan / Fundação Bienal de São Paulo At the 35th São Paulo Bienal, the second oldest biennial the world—and the largest contemporary art event in the Southern Hemisphere and the Americans—Filipino artist Kidlat Tahimik’s “Killing Us Softly… with their S.P.A.M.S Superheroes)” is front and center of it all eye-catching installation—a series of “areas” fashioned mostly from wood which he had packed into three containers from the Philippines It is the largest installation at this year’s biennial “Killing Us Softly,” is the artist’s continuing discourse on colonization Indigenous stewards of the forests attempt to strengthen their sense of identity with the Earth goddess Gaia through myth-sharing Mickey Vader (a hybrid between Mickey Mouse and Darth Vader) this is Tahimik’s wakeup call to Filipinos “The problem now is that most of our young people know the middle name of Superman or the birthday of Wonder Woman but they don’t know details about our own inner superheroes,” he tells Vogue Philippines in São Paulo It’s something he has attempted to re-write in his installation: Ferdinand Magellan is given a death blow with a pair of arnis (bamboo) sticks by Lapu-Lapu’s wife who was a warrior and shaman on her own; the Trojan Horse is repelled by a tsunami of Bulol protectors; and Marilyn Monroe—often portrayed holding down her windblown dress—is seen being blown away by Filipino wind goddess Inhabian.  “The missionaries and conquistadors knew that if you kill the stories and the culture and maybe it’s easier to get their resources “We have to protect the storytelling so that Darth Vader and Captain America and all the other superheroes from Hollywood are not killing our stories there’s also this story of Inabian there’s also the story of Matan-ayon I hope we can revive that and maybe that’s the last hope for our planet not to go all the way to the climate change chaos.” The Baguio-born and raised national artist for film was specifically invited by Manuel Borja-Villel one of the Bienal’s curators and formerly Director at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid (The latter had also invited him to showcase in Madrid in 2021.) “With Kidlat there is something that is extraordinary,” Borja-Villel tells Vogue Philippines “He is traditionally a filmmaker and to me and that’s very important—to do a film without a camera; to understand a film in a different way He creates a cinema where you are inside the movie Mickey Mouse who is Darth Vader—this mix up of times is going beyond cinema and that is the reason why I brought him.”  Filipino contemporary artist Geraldine Javier is also exhibiting at the Bienal with her installations displayed prominently on the second floor “Oblivious to Oblivion” is a suspended installation made from embroideries of plants and vegetables on silk organza “The fleeting reflections of spectators in the small mirrors further insist on an undifferentiated humanity,” describes art critic Carles Guerra for the Bienal “challenging its deeply rooted antagonism with the natural world.” On a walled chamber behind her works “Creatures in Search of their Species,” “Insist on Hope Desist from Despair,” and “New Cloud Forming” are on display.  Borja-Villel had also handpicked the artist after coming across her work while reading Donna Haraway’s “Staying with the Trouble,” whose cover art was done by Javier “Geraldine really develops a new form of dealing with non-human beings,” he shares “A new form of nature which is totally extraordinary.” Entitled “Choreographies of the Impossible,” the 35th São Paulo Bienal features over 120 artists from around the world with recurring themes that highlight social justice The 35th São Paulo Bienal runs from now until December 10 Parece que a página que você está procurando não está disponível
