H2BYE!

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.

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.

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.

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.
