The mentioning of Leopoldo López as part of a list of political leaders and activists from several countries who have suffered death, imprisonment or persecution, and remembered by Barack Obama during his speech at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York on the eve of the meeting of the UN General Assembly, highlighted the fragility of democratic and constitutional guarantees in Venezuela under the current regime of Nicolas Maduro. On the day of the highest international forum, the half-empty auditorium where Hugo Chavez's successor delivered his peroration, a speech muddled up with alter-globalisation proposals, criticisms of NATO's 'terrorist' actions in Syria and indulgent considerations toward the Islamic State–which he described as a "Frankenstein nursed by the West,"– also...
On 5 September in Minsk, the Government of Ukraine and the pro-Russian separatists signed a ceasefire agreement previously negotiated between the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, and the Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko. This agreement portrays a new phase of the Ukrainian crisis: in the first place, NATO, the USA. and the European Union have definitively ruled out a military pulse with Russia to avoid the escalation to a possible armed confrontation.

Within days of the decisive Brazilian presidential elections to be held on October 5, the result is still very unclear. There are only two certainties: they will require a second round on 26 October and that it will be between the current president, Dilma Rousseff (Workers Party, PT), and Marina Silva (Brazilian Socialist Party, PSB). Beyond this, successive polls move in the marshy ground of the margin of error when awarding the victory to one or the other, with slight daily fluctuations that prevent any solvent forecast to be made.
