Latin Elections

From Russia with Chumilove

The Russians came to hack our choices. Or not? Well that says the United States, but do we believe the United States? Join us to see how Chumel mocks the Russian intervention while some KBG spies steal this episode ... or not. Or if?

Beehive

Three quarters of the food we consume is thanks to the pollination of bees and they are on their way to disappearance. Chumel explores the reasons and potential solutions around the world.

Super Pigs

Obesity and overweight are a worldwide epidemic because of super processed foods: they are delicious, accessible, addictive and also persuade us with marketing and advertising. But there are effective solutions such as taxes and labeling.

H2BYE!

The growth of industries and cities has made water a resource as exploited as it is scarce. Industrial branches consume up to 90% of the water in an area, while in cities up to 40% of it is lost in leaks. It is a serious and unknown crisis.

GENTRIFICA-WHAT?

No one knows very well what gentrification is, and by no one do we mean Chumel. Join us on this trip full of poor neighborhoods that became rich of poor inhabitants who had to continue to be poor elsewhere and of couplets… many couplets

Lachinamerica

China is investing large amounts of money in Latin America. Here we provide them with natural resources and in return they provide us with technology and infrastructure. Sounds like a win-win, but are we ready to negotiate with the Asian giant?

The ugly of the beautiful

What does a woman have to live to become the most beautiful on the planet? Behind the beauty pageants there is a world where the dignity and health of women is the least important.

Don't fodebrecht with me

Odebrecht, the largest construction company in Latin America caused the biggest corruption scandal of recent years in the region as it involves dozens of countries, many politicians and millions of dollars. There has been so much news that nobody keeps track of everything and this program is a brief account of all this.

13

Presidential Pensions

The pensions of former presidents are regulated in some countries but are almost always considered excessive. Do we continue to give our rulers the life of kings? Do we leave them on the street? Was the theme just a pretext for Chumel to sing songs by Luis Miguel?

14

Electoral Surveys

Despite the constant contact with the surveys, we know little about them. We ignore its cost, its customers and its true power. At times where these numbers determine the path of the speeches, it is vital to understand the true meaning and importance of the surveys.

Mental health

Mental health is as important as physical health, the problem is that mental disorders are not as easy to distinguish as physical ones and have many causes. We need to raise awareness and improve medical care.

Happy football

In this millennium, Latin American football has been overshadowed by European. For what is this? Mentality, corruption and lack of project are some of the factors we investigate.

19

The petty cash

The petty cash of the government is called Bouquet 23, it leaves 7 out of every 100 pesos that should go to natural disasters and basic infrastructure; instead, it punishes or rewards states, goes in bribes and the worst: it is legal.

20

Plastic World

The use of plastic is becoming a dangerous epidemic for the sea. Every bag, bottle or plastic container we dispose of will end up in the ocean. We are on time, but we have to change the way we consume today.

21

Killer miners

Before they exchanged gold for mirrors, today they exchange it for enslaving jobs, diseases, devastation, poverty and environmental damage. To make a gold ring you need to destroy 30 tons of mountain. And if that is not a commitment (with destruction), then nothing is.

22

Sex education

Sex education in Latin America has serious deficiencies that are reflected in the high rate of teenage pregnancies. Conservative and religious groups prevent the correct information from passing to the younger generations and focusing efforts on prevention.

23

Conspiracy theories

We all believe or even know, some conspiracy theory, however little we stop to think about its origins and intentions. We will analyze some of the most current and seek the truth, within the lie.

Nice to meet you, Colombia

We usually treat people by their image, but people tend to be more than that: their history and dreams matter too. Reinterpreting his image is fundamental, to understand it better we went to Colombia and see how this affects his people.

29

Money goes out; poor doesn't

There is a lot of poverty in the region and millions of dollars are invested annually in social programs to reduce it, so why doesn't it disappear? Is it because social programs don't work, because we use them badly or because we don't want them to work?

30

Climate change

Climate change is one of the most relevant crises on the planet. The temperature has increased by one degree while droughts and sea floods threaten to create more refugees than the wars themselves. All this while the countries of the world try to do something about it.
