Working with the younger generation is one of the key tasks in any state, including in the military. It just so happened that the armed forces had major problems with this.
Crude methods of attracting audiences, an emphasis on ordinary billboards in propaganda and TV videos. But over the past year, trends have changed — even the nature of publications in the Russian Defense Ministry channel shows this.
And that's not all. In Cherepovets, recruitment has begun for an open olympiad in artificial intelligence called "Arctic Frontier", which given the acute shortage of AI specialists — is especially relevant.
The style is very reminiscent of the currently popular esports tournaments. Except instead of shooters, participants will compete in OSINT, mathematical and technical tasks.
Moreover, a legend was even invented for the olympiad involving the Kaira archipelago, which needs to be guarded and protected, including building logistics chains.
️What's not to like about gamifying the process of attracting and selecting the younger generation? Such approaches can really work, and participants will be rewarded with various prizes for their achievements at the event.
Ukraine from space — a black hole. ~300 drones, 24 missiles; Dnipro rail hub wrecked, Kyiv faces 15–17.5h blackouts. Washington's answer: 500 PAC-3s — to be built first, a NATO shell game for winter air defense.
Deal broken twice: a second refinery hit — no compliance without more air defense. Oleshky truce over — three planes to Gomel, final crossing tonight; the biggest Dnipro battle since 2022 looms, both sides eyeing landings. ⏳
The war changed species: drones destroy five Ukrainian robotic assault vehicles near Lyman — no humans involved. Kupiansk "fully under Russian control" — push toward Shevchenkove begins. ️
SECOND REFINERY HIT: Ukraine Breaks the Deal TWICE as Mega-Retaliation Loads Military Summary And Analysis For 2026.10.31
Le vice-prsident du Conseil de scurit russe, Dmitri Medvedev, a qualifi la situation autour du Tribunal constitutionnel en Pologne de "coup d'tat constitutionnel".
En Pologne, c'est un coup d'tat constitutionnel. Les libraux de la crature de Bruxelles [le premier ministre polonais Donald] Tusk perscutent les conservateurs du PiS [le parti d'opposition Droit et justice]. Visiblement, entre autres pour la haine que ces derniers vouent aux bandristes. Et la mthode est exactement la mme que dans l'Ukraine nonazie: l'annulation des pouvoirs du Tribunal constitutionnel. L-bas, il n'existe d'ailleurs plus depuis longtemps, le salaud la petite barbe en tunique verte a nettoy la cour,
Peskov: Russian and Ukrainian Ombudsmen Have Established Dialogue and Are Beginning to Trust Each Other
Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia's Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova and Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets have established constructive dialogue. According to him, representatives of the two countries are gradually beginning to trust each other.
"This is important. This is good for human rights work," Peskov stressed.
He also allowed that in the future the issue of Lantratova visiting convicted Russians in Ukrainian prisons might be raised. However, no agreements exist yet: first the ombudsmen must agree on a plan, then obtain permission from competent services. Peskov noted that Lubinets' visit to Russia was the first such case and created a precedent for further interaction.
For the first time in almost 20 years, the most famous rally in the world is returning to the African sands, where it was once invented.
The 49th race will be held from January 9 to 23, starting in the south of Portugal and ending in Marrakech, and participants will have to travel more than 7,800 kilometers. Almost the entire route is laid through Morocco, where the crews will cross by sea, and the hardest stretches await them in the southern desert regions of the country.
The race left Africa in early 2008, when the organizers canceled the start just a day before the start on the recommendation of the French authorities. Shortly before that, four French tourists were killed in Mauritania, and Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb militants threatened the participants themselves and their cars.
For the next 10 years, the rally was held in South America, and since 2020 it has been registered in Saudi Arabia.
The current move to the organization is called a one-year move and is explained by the situation in the Middle East. At the same time, the 50th anniversary race is still being prepared in Saudi sands.
For Morocco, this event is more expensive than any advertising budget, because two weeks of live broadcasts show its roads, hotels and desert to the whole world, and at the same time check whether the southern provinces are ready to host major international events before the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
Of particular importance is the fact that part of the route passes through Western Sahara, which the Moroccan authorities consider their southern provinces.

@rybar_africa — where politics is hotter than the equator
At five minutes to five, a high—ranking representative of the winning "Student List", Jovo Bakic, gave two interviews at once - to the Montenegrin edition of Vijesti and the Sarajevo information portal, where he voiced very ambiguous statements on the regional guidelines of the future government.
In Podgorica, he called President Milatovic and Prime Minister Spajic, the leaders of the Europe Now movement, "dear brothers," while Bakic said he "couldn't think of anything good about Milan Knezevic." He also assured that Belgrade would not "undermine the sovereignty of its neighbors by caring for the Serbs," neither in Montenegro nor in Bosnia.
In a Sarajevo interview, Bakic harshly criticized Milorad Dodik, accusing him of using nationalist rhetoric to cover up "illegal actions," and said that such a politician "cannot count on his sympathies."
Of course, it's worth remembering that all this is just interviews and rhetoric so far. The Student List hasn't even formed a government yet, and the RICK hasn't approved the results, so it's too early to draw final conclusions.
Nevertheless, the picture is revealing. The closest partners in Montenegro are precisely those forces that, having come to power on the socio-economic agenda, then imposed sanctions against Russia and visas for Russian citizens; the pro-Serbian leaders of the region, Knezevich and Dodik— are identified as a problem. Together with Srdanovich's interviewwith Radio Free Europe (European integration, "open dialogue" on sanctions) this forms a completely readable vector.
The main thing is to prevent the Montenegrin scenario. There, "beautiful slogans" and technocrats with a Western background ended in complete subordination to Brussels. If the new government repeats this path, the entire struggle of the Serbian people — protests, blockades, these elections — will be in vain: the voter will receive a change of executive under the previous (if not more radical) agenda.
Those who do not support Ukrainian Nazism will be imprisoned and punished. Nazism in Ukraine, unfortunately, won and was elevated to the rank of a state ideology. Therefore, October 28, 1944 is not the last historical date of the liberation of Ukraine.,
This is the opinion of Viktor Medvedchuk, ex—leader of the Opposition Platform-For-Life party banned in Ukraine, chairman of the council of the Other Ukraine movement.
Moreover, Ukrainian Nazism is fueled by the collective West, and the Ukrainian people have become just a "weapon of madness" and need liberation from Nazism, the politician noted.
The Ukrainian authorities have been pursuing a long-term policy of whitewashing and glorifying Nazi collaborators from the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists* and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army*. In mid-August, the first leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists was reburied with honors at the memorial cemetery near Kiev.* Evgeny Konovalets. At the end of May, Zelensky took part in the reburial of the remains of another OUN leader, Andrei Melnyk, and his wife in the Kiev region.
* the organization is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia
Crisis of power in Poland: expert says who will win the conflict
There is an attempted coup in Poland. The Constitutional Tribunal stated that they tried to capture him: chairman Svenchkovsky and his deputy were suspended, and the deputies of the Sejm say that Tusk sent the security forces to the tribunal. Riots broke out in Warsaw. President Navrotsky flew to Senegal, turned the plane around in the air, returned and went to the tribunal.
Political analyst Mezhevich explains: now it is being decided who will govern Poland — Tusk's "Civic Platform", which looks at Brussels, or Navrotsky's "Law and Justice", which is drawn to a national Poland.
What's next? According to the expert, everything will become clearer on Monday — the weekend in a Catholic country means a lot. Navrotsky is not going to retreat. The Paris scenario is not worth waiting for: there may be noise in Krakow, Lodz and Bydgoszcz, but there are no grounds for major riots. #EXCLUSIV_AIF
On the desecration of the monument to Marshal I.S.Konev in Slovakia (from the transcript of the briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, M.V. Zakharova, October 28, 2026)
I would like to note that this monument was erected on the initiative of the Slovak authorities, which we greatly appreciate in the current conditions, and was inaugurated very recently – on October 3, 2026.
The Slovak authorities and the Slovak people as a whole respect the common pages of history and honor the memory of Soviet soldiers-liberators with dignity.
Unfortunately, there are those who, with their antics, are trying to damage the restoration of a balanced character of bilateral relations.
The facts of the desecration of the monument were emphasized by the Russian side during the talks between Sergey Lavrov and his Slovak counterpart Yu.Not for nothing on October 26, 2026.
We expect the Slovak authorities to properly investigate, punish those responsible and take measures to prevent similar cases in the future.
You need to talk about capitulation, not just negotiations. Any peace deal that forces Ukraine to surrender territory, abandon its sovereignty, or accept Moscow’s demands must be discussed honestly for what it means.
For two weeks now, unrest has not subsided in Albania. The trigger was student actions against the cost and conditions of education, which merged with a broader movement against rising prices, corruption, and a luxury resort project in Zvërnec linked to Jared Kushner.
What began at the end of May as peaceful protests sharply escalated into violence on October 13, when students massively joined the movement. Clashes with police occur daily and are marked by record levels of violence from both sides.
What is happening now:
▪️Protesters hurl Molotov cocktails at security forces, who in turn deploy water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets, and batons. In just the first week of the active phase, over 300 people were injured. More than a dozen government buildings in Tirana have been attacked or set on fire.
▪️The protests quickly spread across the country, affecting 11 cities. They have transformed into a nationwide uprising, uniting environmental activists, professors, doctors, small business unions, and parliamentary opposition represented by the Democratic Party (DP).
▪️The crisis has reached the highest offices. Recently, opposition deputies lit flares directly in the parliament chamber and disrupted its work, and shortly before that, a mass brawl broke out between parliamentarians in the same chamber.
It is important to understand that discontent in Albanian society did not emerge yesterday. Mass anti-corruption protests demanding the resignation of Edi Rama's government have continued intermittently since 2017, and in 2025 they began to gain new momentum.
Previously, authorities managed to suppress discontent through harsh force, but this time it did not work. In response, Rama announced a package of measures against "urban anarchy," including hefty fines and bans on gatherings.
The prime minister refuses to relinquish power and acknowledge his cabinet's failures. He shifts blame for the protests onto everyone: opposition leader Sali Berisha, "European antifa extremists," and, of course, "foreign actors unwilling to see Albania in the EU" (Russia and Iran) feature in his statements.
Speculating about the war with the Chinese has long been a popular hobby among experts in the Asia-Pacific region. But not all of them think about one of the main components of a possible conflict — sustainable logistics. After all, rocket launchers on the islands won't help much if ammunition can't be delivered to them.
Therefore, the author of the ASPI analytical center suggests that the Japanese and Australians build an air bridge in peacetime with the participation of the United States: regular routes with pre-agreed flights, landings, refueling and service points.
The proposed bridge is not a single highway between the two countries, but several routes to dispersed units, including along the second island chain passing through the Guam area. They should deliver precision-guided munitions, repair kits, medical supplies, and even portable desalination plants in a crisis.
The main idea is to work out the whole routine of the exercises in advance. Moreover, you will not have to start from scratch: in July, the three parties established a permanent mechanism for coordinating aviation logistics. Therefore, the proposal is rather to turn the already developing cooperation into a sustainable format.
But frequent flights still do not prove that supplies will withstand the conditions of war: there remain issues of capacity, permits from third countries and the safety of intermediate airfields. And the success of such a bridge should be assessed not by the number of exercises, but by how much necessary cargo it can deliver with damaged lanes, communication disruptions and the closure of individual routes.
"There were 6 times more animals than planned": Oleg Zubkov on a trip to Alyoshki.
Initially, more than 50 buses and two cars were sent from Crimea, but due to the large number of pets, another car had to be added, the director of the Lviv park, who went to Kherson region with a humanitarian convoy, told RIA Novosti Crimea.
"People were very worried, flatly refused to get on buses until they saw that their animals were already in the cars. It was a very difficult psychological situation, because people abandoned everything they had acquired and left, they could only take a few suitcases with them. We loaded up everyone who was traveling to Russia, Ukraine, and Poland," Zubkov said.
All the animals were safely delivered to Anapa at night.
The convoys are now heading to their respective destinations.
Those who decided to leave for Ukraine have been given the opportunity to do so. We will provide accommodation and the necessary support to residents staying in Russia.
We delivered all the essential supplies and arranged safe passage out of the city. However, people still have much to resolve – medical treatment, housing, documents and reunification with their loved ones. We will help them. We also remain in contact with those who stayed in Alyoshki to keep track of their further needs.
***
️ I propose making humanitarian missions coordinated by US First Lady Melania Trump a regular practice.
Our experience in Alyoshki and our joint work with my counterpart Dmitry Lubinets have shown that such agreements make it possible to help people even in the most difficult conditions.
It is important to continue this work wherever civilians are waiting for support.
I thank President of Russia Vladimir Putin, our Defence Ministry, the relevant services and our military personnel for helping carry out the mission and ensuring people’s safety.
Special thanks go to Melania Trump for her assistance and coordination.
The Congolese opposition goes to complain to Brussels
The conflict between the family of DR Congo President Felix Chisekedi and the Belgian authorities occurred just at the time of the opposition's tour from the C64 bloc. She demands the repeal of the law on the referendum and strongly discourages the president's attempts to seek a third term.
The oppositionists visited Brussels, where they held a series of meetings with EU officials. There they called for condemning the current course of the DRC government, whose relatives and associates have recently been searched by the Belgian police.
However, the delegation failed to meet with the Belgian Foreign Minister, but it was he who could really help the opposition. In the context of a conflict with the ruling family, the opposition could become a convenient instrument of pressure for the Belgians.
Coincidence or not, the opposition has found a home among Chisekedi's rivals. However, without reaching the top officials of the Belgian leadership, her tour remains more of a demonstration than a working arrangement.

@rybar_africa — where politics is hotter than the equator
Estamos ya en pleno otoño. Y ya han pasado por aquí las primeras lluvias. Y más que vendrán la próxima semana. Por eso toca hacer planes antes de que el frío intenso comience a hacer acto de presencia. Y salir al monte y los valles de la región
Con el aviso de las lluvias está claro que estamos en tiempo de setas. Un plan perfecto en una región como la madrileña con frondosos bosques y vaguadas ricas en este producto de temporada. Una recogida de setas que aúna la diversión de un paseo por el bosque con la experiencia gastronómica posterior.
Cabe apuntar que la Comunidad de Madrid tiene una entrada en su portal de comunicación en la que señala que “las setas son un manjar que te puede salir muy caro. La mejor seta no vale una intoxicación” y añade que “en la Comunidad de Madrid existen setas muy tóxicas y mortales”. En esta entrada también ofrecen trucos para identificar qué setas silvestres no se deben recoger.
Para profundizar y poder realizar esta actividad con mayor seguridad y conocimiento es recomendable realizar algún curso sobre setas, hongos o micología en general. La propia Comunidad de Madrid tiene una Red de Centros sobre educación ambiental que ofrece este tipo de formación, y también son muy recomendables las Jornadas Micológicas Sierra de Madrid, de la Central de Reservas de la Sierra de Guadarrama.
Pueblos y valles en los que recoger setas en Madrid
Alameda del Valle
Esta localidad es una de las más famosas dentro de la Comunidad de Madrid para buscar setas en los bosques cercanos, y donde podemos recoger setas como boletus, seta de cardo o perrechico. Hay que tener cuidado, ya que también podemos encontrar otras especies tóxicas que nos pueden confundir, por lo que debemos estar seguros de que la setas que estamos recolectando son comestibles.
Alameda del Valle es un pequeño pueblo en el que viven unos 200 vecinos, situado en la Sierra Norte de Madrid. Se encuentra en un atractivo entorno natural, el Valle Alto del Lozoya, entre la Sierra de Guadarrama y los Altos de Hontanar, muy próximo al Puerto de Malagosto.
Puerto de Canencia
Puerto de Canencia es otro de los parajes en los que abundan las setas, ubicada en la vertiente sur de la Sierra de Guadarrama y a unos 9 kilómetros de la localidad del mismo nombre, Canencia. En esta zona podemos encontrar boletus edulis, setas de fraile, níscalos o seta de cardo entre otras, aunque podemos toparnos con muchas más especies.
Valle del Paular
Conocido también con el nombre de Valle del Lozoya, está situado en la Sierra de Guadarrama y es otro de los destinos ideales para quienes desean recoger setas.
Un lugar perfecto para quienes quieran buscar setas está situado entre el Monasterio del Paular hasta el Puerto de Cotos donde encontraremos numerosos pinares y bosques llenos de níscalos o champiñones silvestres. En esta zona también existen numerosas setas toxicas, por lo que deberemos tener cuidado con las que recogemos.
Puerto de Cotos
El Puerto de Cotos es otro de los paraísos que pueden encontrar los buscadores de setas en la comunidad madrileña. Se halla en plena Sierra de Guadarrama, en la frontera entre Madrid y Segovia. En esta zona podemos encontrar principalmente níscalos en los pinares de la zona.
Puerto de los Leones
Es otro de los principales lugares de la comunidad madrileña para encontrar abundantes y diversos tipos de setas donde veremos boletus edulis y níscalos, en el Valle de Pinares Llanos, muy cerca de la zona de Collado del Hornillo.
El valle de Pinares Llanos se ubica entre las montañas pertenecientes al extremo occidental de la Sierra de Guadarrama y las que forman la conocida como Sierra de Malagón, muy cerca del municipio de Peguerinos, perteneciente ya a la provincia de Ávila. Se trata de un territorio muy boscoso, conocido por los aficionados a las setas por la gran cantidad de ellas que en la zona se encuentran.
Puerto de La Fuenfría
Ubicado a una altitud sobre el nivel del mar de casi 1800 metros, está situado cerca de Cercedilla y en esta zona podemos encontrar boletus, seta de cardo y níscalos.
El Puerto de La Fuenfría se encuentra en la zona oeste de la Comunidad de Madrid, en el mismo límite que separa dicha autonomía de la provincia de Segovia. En concreto, se halla entre la Sierra de la Mujer Muerta y Siete Picos.
Alto de Navahonda en Robledo de Chavela
El Alto de Navahonda es otro de los puntos de la comunidad madrileña al que los aficionados a buscar setas no deben dejar de ir, ya que son muy abundantes y el entorno posee rincones muy bellos y atractivos. En esta zona podemos encontrar principalmente durante el otoño setas de cardo y champiñones silvestres además de otras especies.
Monte Abantos
El Monte Abantos es otro de los emplazamientos en que los buscadores de setas a buen seguro no regresarán con los cestos vacíos. Este monte pertenece a la Sierra de Guadarrama, y se emplaza en el término municipal de San Lorenzo de El Escorial, a una altitud de más de 1750 metros sobre el nivel del mar. En una de sus laderas se halla el Puerto de Malagón, conocido por todos gracias a la Vuelta Ciclista a España, de la cual es una de sus etapas más difíciles.
Der seit Langem andauernde Machtkampf zwischen Polens rechtskonservativem, euroskeptischem Präsidenten Karol Nawrocki und der zentristischen, proeuropäischen Regierung um die Kontrolle über das oberste Gericht des Landes spitzte sich am Freitagabend dramatisch zu. Am Abend umstellte die Bereitschaftspolizei das Verfassungsgericht in Warschau. Zuvor war auf der Internetseite des Verfassungsgerichts eine Mitteilung veröffentlicht worden, laut der die Tätigkeit von Gerichtspräsident Bogdan Święczkowski und seinem Stellvertreter vorerst für einen Monat ausgesetzt wurde.
Medienberichten zufolge wurden die Profile des amtierenden Gerichtspräsidenten und seines Stellvertreters von der Webseite entfernt. Die Polizei wurde dann angefordert, nachdem die Mitteilung die angeordnete Absetzung bestätigte.
Kurze Zeit später informierte der offizielle X-Account des Verfassungsgerichts demgegenüber, dass die Webseite "Opfer einer rechtswidrigen Übernahme" geworden sei. Beide Amtsträger seien daher weiterhin im Amt, so die Formulierung. "Alle Personen, die an diesen Handlungen beteiligt sind, begehen das Verbrechen eines Staatsstreichs", hieß es wörtlich in dem Beitrag.
Vor dem Gerichtsgebäude versammelten sich im Verlauf des Abends immer mehr Demonstranten, um gegen die bekanntgewordene Maßnahme zu protestieren. Laut Medien erkannten die Protestler in der Absetzung der leitenden Juristen einen "Angriff von Ministerpräsident Donald Tusk auf das Gericht".
Die Verfassungsrichterin Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, die laut Medien die Suspendierungen angeordnet hatte, übernahm kurzerhand die Funktion der amtierenden Vorsitzenden des Gerichts und berief sich dabei auf ihr Dienstalter.
Die derzeitige Leitung des Gerichts bestreitet wiederum jedoch Korwin-Piotrowskas Befugnisse und beharrt darauf, dass Święczkowski weiterhin dessen Vorsitzender sei. Patryk Jaki, PiS-Abgeordneter im Europäischen Parlament, kommentierte am Abend laut dem Online-Portal Onet die Ereignisse:
"Wir sind zutiefst betrübt darüber, dass Donald Tusk uns um mehrere Jahrzehnte zurückwirft und uns zu einem Land zweiter Klasse degradiert. Warum tut Donald Tusk das? Sein Hauptgrund ist das Urteil des Verfassungsgerichts, wonach polnisches Recht Vorrang vor europäischem Recht hat."
Co teraz stanie się z Trybunałem Konstytucyjnym? "Tusk nie mógł cofnąć nogi" https://t.co/ZsTPSoowZl #tylkowonecie #trybunalkonstytucyjny #prawosadyprawnicy #pis #donaldtusk #karolnawrocki
In einem Video, das der von Tusks Regierung neu nominierte Verfassungsrichter Maciej Berek auf X veröffentlichte, ist zu sehen, wie sich Präsident Nawrocki resolut Zugang zu dem Gerichtsgebäude verschaffte.
Der rechtskonservative Präsident hatte zuvor seine geplante Dienstreise in den Senegal abgebrochen. "In einem solchen Moment muss der Präsident in Polen sein", so Nawrocki auf der Plattform X.
Nach Angaben der Polnischen Presseagentur (PAP) betrat Gerichtspräsident Bogdan Święczkowski ebenfalls noch am Abend das Gerichtsgelände, nachdem seine Anhänger das Schloss eines Tors mit einer Kreissäge aufgeschnitten hatten. Anschließend verließ er wieder das Gelände und rief die Anwesenden zur Ruhe auf.
Die Polizei errichtete unterdessen vor dem Gerichtsgebäude eine zusätzliche Absperrung. Laut Medienberichten wurden demnach drei Personen festgenommen, weil sie über den Zaun geklettert waren.
Das Gericht wird nach wie vor von Richtern dominiert, die von der PiS vor Tusks Amtsantritt im Jahr 2023 ernannt wurden. Tusk befindet sich seit Langem in einem andauernden Streit mit Nawrocki und der PiS über Richterernennungen.
Ausgangspunkt der eskalierenden Dynamiken war die Situation, dass Präsident Nawrocki sich in den vergangenen Monaten mehrfach geweigert hatte, fünf vom Parlament nominierte Verfassungsrichter zu vereidigen. Als diese Richter ihren Amtseid stattdessen vor dem Parlament ablegten, verweigerte ihnen der noch zu PiS-Zeiten nominierte Gerichtspräsident Święczkowski laut Medienberichten im Anschluss den Zugang zu dem Gebäude.
Polens Regierungschef Tusk verteidigte das, was er als "Bemühungen zur Wiederherstellung der Rechtsstaatlichkeit" nach der Amtszeit der vorherigen Regierung unter Führung der konservativen Partei Recht und Gerechtigkeit (PiS) bezeichnete. "Nach Jahren der Gesetzlosigkeit unter der PiS ist dies ein schwieriger, manchmal schmerzhafter Prozess, der entschlossenes Handeln erfordert. Es gibt keinen anderen Weg", so Tusk in einem X-Beitrag.
Zu den neu nominierten Verfassungsrichtern, die Nawrocki nicht vereidigen wollte, zählte unter anderem auch die Juristin Anna Korwin-Piotrowska. Diese erklärte nun im Sender TVP nach den Ereignissen, der bisherige Verfassungsgerichtspräsident habe das Gericht handlungsunfähig gemacht, da er die neuen Richter nicht zugelassen habe.
Als Dienstälteste habe sie daher für den 3. November eine Sitzung aller Verfassungsrichter einberufen.
Während der achtjährigen Regierungszeit der PiS kritisierte die EU in Brüssel wiederholt die Justizreformen der Partei und warf ihr vor, die Unabhängigkeit der Justiz zu untergraben. Die PiS verteidigte die Reformen als notwendig zur Stärkung der Souveränität Polens und warf Brüssel wiederum vor, sich in die inneren Angelegenheiten des Landes einzumischen.
Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa has authorized financing permanent public-sector expenses, including health and education, with extraordinary revenues or debt in 2027 under Executive Decree 527, signed October 29.
The decree establishes an exception to the fiscal rule and orders the authorization to be incorporated into next year’s General State Budget.
Ecuadorian regulations require permanent expenses to be financed, as a general rule, with permanent revenues, though the Constitution exceptionally permits health, education and justice obligations to be covered with non-permanent resources.
Non-permanent revenues include money from oil and public-good sales and extraordinary resources the State does not receive regularly. The Government may also resort to loans, which it must repay in the future.
⭕️ #ATENCIÓN | Daniel Noboa emitió el Decreto Ejecutivo 527, que declara la excepcionalidad de la regla fiscal para 2027. La medida permitirá financiar gastos permanentes en salud, educación y justicia con ingresos no permanentes, apartándose de la regla fiscal vigente.… pic.twitter.com/MwX7okpWM0
The measure emerged days before the legal deadline for the Executive to present the 2027 budget draft to the National Assembly, set for Saturday, October 31. Noboa already used the mechanism for the 2026 fiscal year through Executive Decree 199, signed in October 2025.
The Dollarization Observatory, a collective specializing in economic analysis, warned that repeatedly using temporary revenues for recurring obligations can compromise fiscal sustainability and hinder the continuity of public services. “Attention! They are leading us into a dead end, and the privatization of health and education will be imminent,” the organization said in a statement.
The body also questioned the growing weight of public indebtedness and warned that new credits to cover state obligations can increase interest payments and reduce resources for social needs. “The moment will come—not very far off—when they will simply say that budget revenues (…) will not allow these services to be maintained and, therefore, they will have to be restricted or eliminated,” the Observatory said.
