World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Being a south american country, this guy could be out in a couple of years and able to run for president again. Just ask how Brazil did it... Corruption seems like a "must have" skill in a politician's CV over there.
We shall see..But to me I'm not sure USA is doing a better job with Trump. I don't get how he still isn't in Prison.
Also imo, the privileged have access to better lawyers, and justice isn't always blind or served equally in this world.
added: It's good that the ex Panemenian president was found out for corruption and send to jail. And I really hope they tackle "corruption & faul play " in governments, and also in ngos, institutions and businesses.
Btw, technically, Lula was acquitted.
I mean, technically Lula was not acquitted, he was just never convicted in the first place - due to that whole not having a fair trail thing, which is amazing that there are people who treat that like it's nothing.
Lula wasn't acquitted though... He got out due to a technicality as a result of a "new" interpretation of the law. (read some level of corruption here) His last trial (after being found guilty 3 times) allegedly was supposed to happen in Brasília but instead happened in Paraná. The due process would be for the whole ordeal to restart but since he's over 65 years old, there's some lenience in the law that impedes the process to resume. This does NOT nullify anything that was proven in the other 3 trials (and also the 4th which was what put him in jail. There's a lot of backroom deals happening all over government and the supreme court "allegedly" is in on the pie. Bozonaro had the chance to keep this corrupt ex-president in jail and forfeited it, himself being another corrupt president. But hey, love won didn't it?! =)
