teleSUR English Poscast

In today's podcast, Jorge Gestoso reported on several key developments in Latin America. Venezuela's government, led by President Nicolas Maduro, stated that PDVSA's oil exports remain unaffected despite US threats and sanctions. 

Maduro warned UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres about the implications of escalating US hostilities for regional peace. 

In Honduras, President Xiomara Castro highlighted an electoral crisis, denouncing alleged fraud in the recent presidential elections and calling for a vote recount during protests. 

Additionally, in Brazil, the Senate approved a bill that could significantly reduce prison sentences for coup plotters, potentially shortening former President Jair Bolsonaro's sentence from 27 years to just over two, although President Lula is expected to veto it.
