Despite playing at the National Stadium, Chile failed to take advantage of being the host and ended up losing 2-1 to Bolivia in a match corresponding to the 8th round. In an intense confrontation, the opening goal came in the 12th minute of the first half, when Carmelo Algarañaz scored after a great play. In the same half (38′), Chile reacted and could have tied the game through a shot by Eduardo Vargas. Finally, Bolivia made its power count and, with a goal from a play by Miguel Terceros, put the final score at 2-1 in the 45th minute of the same half.

Chilean midfielder Vicente Pizarro hit the post in the 47th minute of the first half and missed out on a chance to tie the game.

Chile looked superior in dominating the ball (70%) against Bolivia as well as in the number of shots on goal (21), although without success in scoring to be the winner.

Miguel Terceros’s role made him the best player of the match. The Bolivian midfielder scored 1 goal, made 9 correct passes and recovered 3 balls.

Roberto Fernández was also key at the National Stadium. The Bolivian midfielder stood out against Chile, making 19 correct passes.

Chile coach Ricardo Gareca lined up in a 4-4-2 formation with Gabriel Arias in goal; Mauricio Isla, Matias Catalan, Paulo Diaz and Gabriel Suazo in the defensive line; Erick Pulgar, Dario Osorio, Carlos Palacios and Victor Davila in the middle; and Eduardo Vargas and Ben Brereton Diaz in attack.

For their part, Oscar Villegas’ team played a 3-6-1 strategy with Carlos Lampe between the posts; Diego Medina, Luis Haquín and Marcelo Suárez in defence; José Sagredo, Robson Tome, Gabriel Villamil, Roberto Fernández, Miguel Terceros and Ervin Vaca in the midfield; and Carmelo Algarañaz up front.

The match at the National Stadium was officiated by referee Juan Benítez.

On the next date, Chile will host Brazil. On the other hand, Bolivia will host Colombia.

The home team is in ninth place with 5 points, while the visitor reached 9 points and is in seventh place in the tournament.

Colombia beats Argentina and moves closer to the top of the CONMEBOL qualifiers | TUDN CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers

With this, they remained undefeated in eight games and, with their 16 points, came dangerously close to the top spot held by the Argentine team, which has 18.

Colombia’s goals were scored by Yerson Mosquera, at 25 minutes, and by James Rodríguez, at 60, via penalty. For the visitors, the goal was scored by Nicolás González at 48 minutes.

The match maintained an intense pace throughout the 90 minutes and the Colombians gave the impression of falling short on the scoreboard despite their multiple attacks that they did not complete.

On other South American fronts, Ecuador beat a Peru that is struggling to get back on its feet and is still without a win in the qualifiers and is at the bottom of the table with just three points.

The only goal of the match was scored by Enner Valencia with a powerful header in the 54th minute.

Meanwhile, despite the controversy over Carlos Lampe’s injury and Eduardo Vargas’ goal following the play to score, Bolivia beat Chile 1-2 in Santiago and recorded its second win with goals from Carmelo Algarañaz in the 13th minute and Miguel Terceros in the 45th.

In any case, Chile also continues to be in decline with five units and is second to last in the CONMEBOL qualifiers.

Football speaks a universal language in Bolivia

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 9, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Football has been played in Bolivia for over a century. Its popularity is a factor that has made all regions of the country, despite their great diversity and cultural differences, speak the same language.

And this sport, since it began to unite more regions and make them better known among Bolivians themselves, has led, since the beginning of professionalism, to 93 teams being part of the tournaments in their different stages, including the nine departments and these, in turn, representatives from 28 capital and intermediate cities.

From Cobija to Yacuiba, passing through Colpa Bélgica to Vinto and El Alto, football in the country is, undeniably, a vehicle of unity.

From 1950 to 2024

The data compiled by the historian and former president of Bolivia, Carlos Mesa, inspired this and many other articles published in Los Tiempos.

Until 2020, Mesa, on his page “History of Bolivian football”, counted 87 clubs that played between one and more times in Bolivian professional football.

From 2021 to 2023, six more clubs were added, including the Cochabamba-based Universitario de Vinto and San Antonio de Bulo Bulo (Entre Ríos), which put their regions on the map, which had never before been in the top category of national football.

Of the 93 teams that have been part of this special chapter at least once in its history, many have only left a trace of memory, after dissolving into the sands of time. Others continue to shine in the First Division, while another great group fights in the promotion divisions.

More than a thousand women with cancer received free chemotherapy

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 1, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

At the Day Hospital, in the Germán Urquidi Maternal and Child Hospital area, free chemotherapy is carried out to combat cancer, enabling the recovery of hundreds of women who are fighting for their lives, according to a press release.

The head nurse of the Gynecological Oncology Unit at the Materno Hospital, Verónica Alanes, reported in an interview on the Government’s television program Unir, Trabajador y Crecer that between 2023 and 2024, 1,814 free chemotherapy sessions were performed at the outpatient chemotherapy center, also known as the Day Hospital.

“In 2023 we had 1,070 chemotherapy sessions and this year 744, making a total of 1,814 treatments,” he said.

He specified that the only requirement to access care is registration in the Unified Health System (SUS).

The center currently has a preparation area for receiving therapies, a flow hood, pressurized air systems, beds and an exclusive room with chairs for treatments, which do not require hospitalization, allowing patients to return home the same day.

It was reported that 1,651 surgeries were performed at the Materno during the last two years, of which 282 were oncological surgeries, 146 were gynecological surgeries, and 1,223 were obstetric surgeries.

“This year we have 155 new cases of cancer patients, 88 women have already undergone surgery,” he said.

Among the most frequently treated cases are patients diagnosed with breast, cervical and ovarian cancer.

However, Alanes insisted that prevention and treatment, through timely diagnosis, can save the lives of patients, considering that cancer is a treatable disease in its initial stages.

In this regard, the departmental representative of cancer patients, Carla Claure, highlighted the quality and warmth of the care received at the Day Hospital by the “companions warriors” who fight to have a quality of life, despite their illness and economic, social and family difficulties.

They arrested a Cuban involved in a triple murder in Bolivia

Bolivian authorities have arrested a Cuban man accused of being part of a criminal gang that allegedly shot and killed three people trying to make a $100,000 purchase this weekend in La Paz, capital -town of a South American country.

Local media identified the subject as Yarinel Martínez Maqueira, better known on the streets as “Yari”, and he was arrested along with three other suspects: Omar and Norman Copaja Chuquimia and Jorge Catalán Osinaga.

The murder would have happened last Saturday in the town of Unduavi, on the road that connects the department of La Paz to Los Yungas. The gang traveled on board a minibus with the victims, and they were tricked by the false promise that they would sell the dollars.

The Minister of Government, Eduardo del Castillo, participated in a press conference in which the details of the case were presented, noting that the victims were identified as Verónica Aguirre, 34 years old ; Domingo Santos Mamani, 33, and José Luis Vargas, 27.

The bodies were found with gunshot wounds. The analyzes revealed that these shots were fired in the back of the head, execution style. The officer also noted that the victims had wounds in the neck area, which were caused by a sharp weapon after their death.

The investigation by the authorities managed to find out that the three deceased left their home around 10:00 pm, in the area of San Agustín, in El Alto, on board a rented vehicle and directed by one of the assassins. After he did not return, his relatives reported him missing the next day.

The police point out that the suspects made sure that their victims stopped on a road before reaching Los Yungas, in a place called “Tres Marías”, where they were killed.

The bodies were found the following Monday, inside a log and clapboard house used as a warehouse by a local farmer.

Omar Copaja was arrested in Uyuni, in the department of Potosí, allegedly while he was trying to leave the country. Copaja was related to one of the victims, who he was sure would do the suspicious business.

For his part, the Cuban was detained in the area of Ciudad Satélite, in El Alto, where the authorities also found the firearm used in the murder. The other two involved were arrested in La Paz and El Alto.

The Minister of the Bolivian Government pointed out that the authorities already have enough evidence to prove that the four people in custody are the authors of the terrible crime.

“We have changed the type of crime, which would no longer be human trafficking, but the crime of murder is being investigated and sentenced,” he said.

The information circulating on social networks indicates that Martínez is originally from Nueva Gerona, in the special town of Isla de la Juventud, and that he obtained permanent residence in Bolivia last year.

TSE approves Luis Arce’s authority to call for a consultative referendum

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 23, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Peace. Bolivian President Luis Arce has the power to call a consultative referendum without prior approval from the Plurinational Legislative Assembly (Congress), said the vice president of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), Francisco Vargas, on Tuesday.

Vargas explained that Bolivian legislation allows a referendum to be called directly by the president when it is a consultative process. This type of referendum makes it easier for the head of state to obtain a direct opinion from the people on certain issues, without the need for the decision to have an immediate binding effect, unlike constitutional referendums that require legislative approval.

The debate over this presidential power gained momentum after Arce, in his speech marking Bolivia’s 199th anniversary of independence on August 6, proposed holding a referendum on issues such as hydrocarbon subsidies, the distribution of legislative seats and limits on presidential re-election.

The government intends for this referendum to coincide with the judicial elections scheduled for December 1, 2024.

However, the TSE vice president stressed that, to date, the Executive has not submitted a formal request for the referendum to be held nor specified the questions and issues to be consulted.

Once the formal request has been submitted, the Electoral Body must evaluate the proposed questions to ensure that they are clear, precise and impartial. After approval, the president must submit them to the Plurinational Constitutional Court (TCP) for final review.

The possibility of the president calling a referendum without the approval of the Assembly has generated controversy, as while some political sectors and legal experts question the constitutionality of such a call, government supporters defend the measure as legal and necessary.

The government expects the TCP to declare unconstitutional Article 152 of the Constitutional Procedural Code and the penultimate paragraph of Article 23 of Law 026 on the Electoral Regime. This step is crucial to provide the head of state with the necessary tools to call for a constitutional referendum, thus overcoming the limitations of a consultative referendum.

In coordination with the Executive, the pro-government deputy Juan Jáuregui presented an Abstract Action of Unconstitutionality before the TCP against the norms in question, which is seen by the government as a key step to allow President Arce to advance in his referendum proposal.

The Minister of Justice, Iván Lima, citing articles 410 and 411 of the Constitution, recently stated that “the president is authorized to carry out a complete reform of the Constitution,” and argued that “there is a clear legal principle: he who can do the most, can do the least.”

He also acknowledged that the Abstract Action of Unconstitutionality presented by Deputy Jáuregui, and already admitted by the TCP, is essential for the government’s objective of the referendum to prosper.
