El movimiento político Vente Venezuela, fundado y dirigido por María Corina Machado, denunció que una unidad de funcionarios del Servicio Bolivariano de inteligencia (SEBIN) se llevó en la mañana de este lunes a Melquiades Pulido García, coordinador de gestión pública de la organización.

Según la versión de Vente Venezuela, el dirigente de 70 años de edad estaba caminando cuando fue interceptado por una camioneta y los funcionarios le informaron que estaba siendo solicitado, tras lo cual se lo llevaron a la fuerza. En este sentido, desde Vente Venezuela advirtieron que Pulido García sufre de Parkinson y que tiene una condición de coagulación que requiere atención médica inmediata para evitar infartos o accidentes cerebro vasculares.

CNN se comunicó con el Ministerio público de Venezuela para confirmar la información sin hasta ahora haber obtenido respuesta.

La organización conducida por la ganadora del Premio Nobel de la paz 2025 denuncia además que existe “una represión sistemática” contra quienes pertenecen o son cercanos al movimiento político y aseguran que la presión ha aumentado a la par de la presión de Estados Unidos sobre Venezuela tras una despliegue militar que ya suma unos cuatro meses.

En su cuenta de X, Machado dijo que Maduro era “responsable de la vida y la salud de Melquíadas”.

El Gobierno de Venezuela ha insistido en el pasado en que a todos los detenidos en el país se les respeta los derechos humanos y el debido proceso, y ha tildado a diversos informes internacionales sobre detenciones arbitrarias de “injerencistas” y a las denuncias de “irresponsables, sesgadas y profundamente polarizadas”.

(CNN) — A 10-year-old girl, a Holocaust survivor and a young French national were among at least 15 people killed when two gunmen opened fire on families celebrating the first night of Hanukkah at Sydney’s famed Bondi Beach on Sunday, an attack that police have declared a terrorist incident.

Those killed in Australia’s worst mass shooting in almost 30 years are yet to officially be identified, but their families and friends are paying tribute to those they have lost.

New South Wales premier Chris Minns said the victims are aged between 10 and 87 years old.

Here’s what we know about them.

Matilda

Matilda, 10, was described by her aunt as a “very sweet, happy child, with a beautiful smile.”

She was enjoying the festivities at Bondi Beach with her parents, younger sister and friends, when the two gunmen opened fire. Matilda was wounded in the shooting and rushed to hospital, where doctors fought unsuccessfully to save her.

“Kids are supposed to be happy. They should be playing on the beach, not thinking about bullets flying around,” said her aunt Lina, who did not wish to share the family’s surname.

Matilda’s language teacher described her as a “bright, joyful, and spirited child who brought light to everyone around her.” The teacher, Irina Goodhew, launched a GoFund Me page on behalf of Matilda’s family.

The family had moved from Ukraine to Australia in the 1990s, and enjoyed walks on the beach, picnics in the park and walks to the zoo, Lina said.

The Harmony Russian School of Sydney said Matilda was a former student in a statement posted on Facebook. “We honor her life and the time she spent as part of our school family,” the post said.

Rabbi Eli Schlanger

Rabbi Eli Schlanger, 41, organized the “Chanukah by the Sea” event at Bondi Beach and served as assistant rabbi at the Chabad of Bondi, the Jewish organization said in a statement.

“Schlanger was a devoted rabbi and chaplain,” Chabad said, adding that he worked tirelessly “to support Jewish life in the Bondi community.”

Born in London, Schlanger studied in France before being ordained as a rabbi in Brooklyn, New York City, the organization said.

Schlanger also served as a community chaplain in hospitals and prisons, “working tirelessly to bring warmth, faith, and Jewish pride to everyone he encountered,” a crowdfunding page endorsed by Chabad and dedicated to Schlanger said.

Schlanger’s cousin Rabbi Zalman Lewis described him as “truly an incredible guy,” in a Facebook post. “He leaves behind his wife & young children, as well as my uncle & aunt & siblings.”

The rabbi was a father of five, whose youngest son was only born in October, Chabad confirmed.

“Schlanger will be laid to rest in Sydney,” it added.

Alex Kleytman

Alex Kleytman, 87, was a Holocaust survivor who died while shielding his wife Larisa from one of the gunmen’s bullets, according to the Jewish organization Chabad.

He is being remembered as a man “whose life was defined by resilience and family.” A native of Ukraine, Kleytman leaves behind his wife, two children and 11 grandchildren, Chabad added.

COACHELLA VALLEY, Calif. (KUNA) – Este año, los piratas de porches atacan con mayor frecuencia las entregas navideñas, ya que las compras en línea siguen en auge en todo el país.

Según estimaciones del sector, se espera que casi el 70 % de las compras navideñas en 2025 se realicen en línea. Este aumento en las entregas ha provocado un fuerte aumento del robo de paquetes en todo el país. Alrededor del 15 % de los estadounidenses reportan haber sufrido el robo de un paquete el año pasado, con pérdidas que superan los 8200 millones de dólares en todo Estados Unidos.

Los expertos en seguridad afirman que la mayoría de los robos de paquetes son delitos oportunistas que ocurren rápidamente cuando las entregas se dejan desatendidas.

Gene Petrino, asesor principal de seguridad de Security.org, afirma que solo se necesitan unos segundos para que alguien se acerque, tome un paquete y desaparezca. Petrino añade que el riesgo aumenta durante las fiestas, cuando el volumen de entregas alcanza su máximo.

En el Valle de Coachella, los residentes dicen que el aumento de las compras en línea ha cambiado la forma en que manejan las entregas durante la temporada navideña.

Niki Plaid, residente de Palm Springs, afirma que los vecinos de su comunidad se cuidan entre sí recogiendo paquetes si alguien no está en casa.

Los expertos recomiendan varias maneras de reducir el riesgo de robo de paquetes. Entre ellas, se incluyen enviar los paquetes al lugar de trabajo, usar taquillas seguras como las de Amazon Hub o enviar las entregas a un apartado postal. Pedirle a un vecino de confianza que recoja los paquetes, exigir una firma al momento de la entrega y activar alertas de entrega en tiempo real también son opciones efectivas.

La tecnología de seguridad es otra herramienta que utilizan los compradores. Los timbres con video y las cámaras de seguridad pueden no prevenir todos los robos, pero los expertos afirman que pueden disuadir a los delincuentes y ayudar a identificar a los sospechosos si se roba un paquete.

Kate Fogerty, residente de San Diego, afirma que la comunicación en casa ayuda a evitar que las entregas se queden afuera demasiado tiempo. Comenta que les envía un mensaje de texto a sus compañeros de piso cuando se espera un paquete para que alguien pueda recogerlo de inmediato.

Si un paquete se pierde, los expertos aconsejan a los compradores verificar primero los detalles de la entrega con la empresa de transporte, como USPS, UPS o FedEx. El siguiente paso es contactar al vendedor, ya que muchos minoristas ofrecen reemplazos o reembolsos. También podría ser necesario presentar una denuncia policial para fines de seguro o registros oficiales.
