First of all, I am going to highlight here a piece of information that stands out on today's first page of the newspaper Últimas Noticias. I'm talking about the amount of sovereign field fairs that the Government deployed throughout the country over the weekend. There were 233 and Vice President Delcy Rodríguez said that it is a record. Animal protein was sold with 93% subsidy in vulnerable sectors. People bought meat, fish, groceries, vegetables, greens, legumes, fruits and dairy products at low prices.
On the border
Information provided by the Colombian Foreign Ministry is also news, stating that the governments of Caracas and Bogotá will cooperate to search for the remains of paramilitary victims in the border area. In a statement it is explained that the initiative responds to revelations by Salvatore Mancuso, who said that the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia buried more than 200 bodies in border areas, after the crematorium they used to cremate their victims was damaged.
Continuing with the border, the governor of Táchira, Freddy Bernal, reported that through Operation Peace Border killed three paramilitaries from the La Línea group, which engages in extortion on both sides of the border and is responsible for the grenade attack that a PNB commission received and similar attacks on businesses in the town of Ureña.
fly with the rains
It is important that you know that on Friday The Risk Staff was installed before the arrival of the rains in all the country. And, precisely, on Saturday a tremendous stick of water fell that came to cool the temperature, at least in Caracas. As part of the prevention system, to strengthen early warning systems in the most vulnerable communities, equipment was delivered to 20 community weather stations in the capital.
inflation slows down
I have another information for you. The Central Bank of Venezuela published the inflation data for the first quarter. We can observe that in April the variation of the Consumer Price Index was 3,8%, almost half that in March (6,1%) and much less than February (19,3%) and January (42,1%). Look at this graph:
the bonus fell
In social networks they reported that the Economic War Bond began to fall to public administration workers. They are 750 bolivars, the equivalent of more or less 30 dollars. This is the increased bonus, as announced by the Government on May 1. Tell me, did you get it?
Mothers
How did you spend Mother's Day? Did they honor you as you deserve it? On Saturday the Mayor of Caracas and the Government of the Capital District they organized a party for all the mothers who came to Ali Primera Park in Catia that included music, food and a raffle.
And regarding Mother's Day, I recommend this special work that was published in the Sunday edition of Últimas Noticias. It is entitled Venezuelan mothers fight daily for their children and tells several stories of women who have set out with their young without any adversity stopping them. Just like Venezuelan women are. It's quite interesting.

In Gazette increase in bonds
I leave you here the detail of the Official Gazette that formalizes the increase in the cestaticket and the War Bond announced by President Maduro on May 1. The amounts are expressed in bolivars and the cestaticket for all workers in the public and private sector is set “in the amount of one thousand bolivars without cents (Bs. 1.000,00)”. Likewise, the Bond against the Economic War is as follows:
“a) For active public administration workers who collect the Socialist Cestaticket, for a value of seven hundred Bolivares without cents (Bs. 750,00).
b) For the workers of the public administration who, due to their passive status, do not receive the Socialist Cestaticket, for a value of one thousand two hundred and twenty-five Bolivars without cents (Bs. 1.225,00)”.
In the case of pensioners, the amount is 500 bolivars per month.
Exchange rate
The Central Bank of Venezuela reported that the exchange tables on Friday showed an average of 25,44 bolivars per dollar. Remember that this is the only valid rate for any transaction today.
Türkiye to runoff
In the international field, the most important thing yesterday, which was a trend in networks and media, is the presidential election in Turkey. The current president, Recep Tayip Erdogan, won with more than 49% of the votes, but since it did not reach an absolute majority, it should go to a second round.
historic reunion
I leave you with the review of the concert by Oscar D'León and the Latin Dimension. They filled the Poliedro de Caracas. The importance of this event is highlighted by the fact that these salsa icons had not shared a stage since 1980. It was a moment that many had been waiting for a long time.
