Difundieron un video inédito del papa Francisco grabado antes del agravamiento de su salud
Un vídeo inédito del papa Francisco, grabado el 8 de enero en su residencia de la Casa Santa Marta, fue difundido este domingo, pocos días después de su muerte a los 88 años.
La publicación, realizada por el semanario italiano Oggi, muestra al pontífice vestido con un jersey blanco, dirigiéndose a los jóvenes para exhortarlos a “aprender a escuchar”. La grabación formaba parte de una iniciativa de diálogo entre jóvenes y adultos, organizada en preparación para el Jubileo de los Adolescentes que se celebra estos días en Roma.
“Una cosa muy importante en la vida es escuchar, aprender a escuchar. Cuando una persona te habla, espera a que termine para entenderlo bien. Y luego, si quieres, di algo. Pero escuchar es importante,” afirma Francisco en el vídeo.
En su mensaje, advierte que “la gente no escucha” y que “en mitad de una explicación responden, y eso no ayuda a la paz”. Además, pide a los jóvenes que no olviden a sus abuelos, recordando que «los abuelos nos enseñan tanto“. El papa concluye su intervención con un pedido personal: “Rezo por ti. Reza por mí”.
La difusión del video coincidió con la segunda misa de luto celebrada en la basílica de San Pedro del Vaticano, donde se congregaron unas 200.000 personas, en su mayoría jóvenes. Cientos de miles de adolescentes están reunidos en Roma para el Jubileo de los Adolescentes, un encuentro que incluía la canonización del italiano Carlo Acutis, pospuesta debido al fallecimiento del pontífice.
Francisco fue enterrado el sábado en la basílica de Santa María la Mayor, tras un multitudinario funeral en el Vaticano.
Un numeroso grupo de cardenales acudió este domingo a la Basílica de Santa María la Mayor de Roma para rendir homenaje al difunto papa Francisco, fallecido el 21 de abril, y rezar ante su tumba, donde fue enterrado este sábado tras un multitudinario funeral.
Desde las 07:00 hora local (05:00 GMT), la basílica abrió sus puertas al público, permitiendo el ingreso de las primeras personas que formaban fila desde una hora antes. A lo largo del día, al menos 30.000 personas visitaron el sepulcro del pontífice argentino, según informó el prefecto de Roma, Lamberto Giannini. Largas filas de espera reflejaron la devoción popular hacia Francisco, destacando el vínculo emocional de los fieles con el difunto pontífice.
El sepulcro, ubicado en una zona lateral de la capilla que custodia a la Virgen Salus Populi Romani, consiste en una lápida sencilla de mármol de Liguria, región italiana de donde eran originarios sus abuelos maternos. La tumba lleva solamente la inscripción “FRANCISCUS” en latín, cumpliendo así el deseo expresado por el pontífice en su testamento.
A partir de las 16:00 horas (14:00 GMT), los cardenales, tras pasar individualmente ante la tumba, iniciaron la celebración de las segundas vísperas en el interior del templo, presididas por monseñor, Rolandas Makrickas, quien fue designado por Bergoglio para gestionar su entierro. Durante la ceremonia, oraron por el descanso eterno del Santo Padre, entonaron cantos gregorianos y elevaron súplicas en un ambiente de recogimiento.
A la par del solemne acto, la comunidad de fieles mantenía un constante desfile en silencio frente a la tumba de Francisco. La participación de los cardenales forma parte del proceso de duelo y preparación para el próximo cónclave, en el que se elegirá al sucesor de Francisco.
Este lunes, los purpurados retomarán las congregaciones generales en el Aula del Sínodo, sesiones que sirven para discutir los desafíos actuales de la Iglesia y perfilar las candidaturas. El Colegio Cardenalicio, compuesto por 252 cardenales, contó con la presencia de unos 220 en las exequias, aunque solo 133 tienen derecho a voto en el cónclave, de los cuales dos no podrán asistir por motivos de salud.
El calendario establece que, tras completar los nueve días de luto conocidos como “novendiales”, el cónclave debe comenzar entre el 5 y el 10 de mayo, respetando el plazo máximo de 20 días tras la muerte del pontífice. La fecha concreta se determinará en función de la llegada de los cardenales electores a Roma.

The massive power outage that wreaked havoc in Europe is being blamed on a pair of likely solar plant breakdowns in southwest Spain, a report said.
By 7 a.m. local time Tuesday, more than 99% of energy demand in Spain had been restored, the country’s electricity operator Red Eléctrica announced. Portuguese grid operator REN said on Tuesday morning that all the 89 power substations had been back online since late last night and power had been restored to all 6.4 million customers.
Red Eléctrica said it identified two power generation loss incidents in southwest Spain – likely involving solar plants – that caused instability in the Spanish power grid and contributed to a breakdown of its interconnection to France, according to Reuters.
The economic cost of Monday’s blackout across the Iberian Peninsula could range between $2.5 billion to more than $5 billion, it cited investment bank RBC as saying.

«We have never had a complete collapse of the system,» Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said in a televised address Monday night.
Emergency workers in Spain said they had rescued some 35,000 passengers on Monday who were stranded along railways and in underground tunnels.
Video that aired on Spanish television showed people evacuating metro stations in Madrid, and empty stations with trains stopped in Barcelona. Spain’s parliament was also left in the dark, public broadcaster RTVE reported.
The ATP Tour said play at the Madrid Open tennis tournament was suspended for the day due to the power outage.
In Portugal, several Lisbon subway cars were evacuated, courts stopped working and ATMs and electronic payment systems were affected. Traffic lights in Lisbon also stopped working during the outage.
REN, Portugal’s grid operator, described the incident Monday as a «rare atmospheric phenomenon.»

«Due to extreme temperature variations in the interior of Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high-voltage lines, a phenomenon known as induced atmospheric vibration,» it was quoted as saying. «These oscillations caused synchronization failures between the electrical systems, leading to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network.»
However, on Tuesday, Spain’s meteorological agency AEMET said that it had not detected any «unusual meteorological or atmospheric phenomena» Monday and no sudden temperature fluctuations were recorded at their weather stations.
Eduardo Prieto, Red Eléctrica’s chief of operations, said the instability in the power grid caused the Spanish and French electricity interconnection through the Pyrenees mountains to split, leading to a failure on the Spanish side, according to Reuters. The news agency reported that some parts of France suffered brief power outages on Monday as well.

As judge is charged with obstructing justice in migrant case, spinners cast it as an anti-Trump story
Here’s what actually happened to that Wisconsin judge.
Setting aside the spin – and there’s plenty of it from some Democrats and pundits – these are the facts.
Based on the criminal complaint, county judge Hannah Dugan had a hearing scheduled for illegal Mexican immigrant Eduardo Flores-Ruiz – who is already facing charges of domestic abuse.
Not only that, Flores-Ruiz got into a fight with two roommates who complained that he was playing his music too loud.
Flores-Ruiz punched one roommate in the face 30 times, then hit a woman who tried to end the fight, the complaint says. Let that sink in for a minute.
WISCONSIN JUDGE’S ARREST BLASTED BY DEMOCRATS WHO PREVIOUSLY CLAIMED ‘NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW’ IN TRUMP CASES
Now let’s get to what Hannah Dugan did. (National Review’s Jim Geraghty has a highly detailed account with extensive quotes from the documents.)
First she blew off the hearing. ICE agents have the absolute power to arrest the immigrant at the county courthouse, and were closing in, but hoped to do it in a low-key manner.
Then she arranged for Flores-Ruiz to slip out a private exit, for the sole purpose of helping him avoid the federal agents. And it worked. But the agents tracked him down after a chase.
Many in the press have used the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan as a political weapon against the Trump administration. (Mike De Sisti / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images)
This sounds very much like alleged obstruction of justice.
Now Dugan is entitled to the presumption of innocence, along with a healthy skepticism. We’ve only heard the government’s side of the story.
Does that sound like obstruction of justice? That’s what the judge has been charged with, along with concealing an individual to prevent an arrest.
The Washington Post yesterday made explicit what it implied a day earlier: «While many Republican supporters of the president cheered the aggressive actions, critics of the administration said the spectacle sent a chilling message.
«‘The obvious purpose of the arrest of Judge Dugan on criminal charges is to intimidate and threaten all judges, state and local, across the country,’ said J. Michael Luttig, a conservative former U.S. appeals court judge.»
Many others are treating Dugan’s arrest, unusual though it is, as an outrage.

Before the arrest of Flores-Diaz, the Milwaukee county executive said: «An attack on this safe, community-serving space undermines public trust, breeds fear among citizens and staff and disrupts the due process essential to our courts,» An attack, says David Crowley.
Some other quotes helpfully rounded up by Geraghty:
Minnesota Democratic Sen. Tina Smith posted: «If Kash Patel,» the FBI director, «and Donald Trump don’t like a judge, they think they can arrest them.» So this was not about alleged obstruction of justice but some kind of personal animus toward Dugan? And I doubt Trump knew anything about this.
JUDGE WHO ALLEGEDLY HELPED MIGRANT DOESN’T DESERVE ‘SPECIAL TREATMENT,’ WISCONSIN LAWMAKER SAYS
New York Times columnist David Brooks said on PBS: «It strikes me as maybe something illegal, but it also strikes me as something heroic.» It MAY be illegal, but on what planet would the judge’s actions be deemed heroic??
And here’s one I found from Guardian columnist Moira Donegan, saying: «The Trump administration is making an example of the Milwaukee judge to intimidate critics and opponents.»

So now the tale has morphed into an anti-Trump hit job. The president does plenty of things to intimidate critics and openly talks about it. This isn’t one of them.
