ABAV EXPOIniciativa of the Ministry of Tourism will discuss how audiovisual productions contribute to the promotion of brazilian destinations within and outside the country

By Geraldo Gurgel

To be on the screen of the cinema, television or even a computer, audiovisual productions have the power to stimulate the viewer to know the destinations yet unknown. Thinking about this potential promotion, the Ministry of Tourism announced on Thursday (27) the launch of the Thematic Group on the Promotion of Film Tourism in Brazil and in the World formed by representatives of state bodies, the Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage (Iphan), the Brazilian Agency of Promotion of Exports and Investments (Apex), and institutions linked to the tourism and the audiovisual production.The launching ceremony was held in the Space Experiential booth of MTur installed at the 46th Abav Expo Internacional, in São Paulo (SP). “The cinema is part of our culture. It is necessary to innovate and to join forces with the creative economy to boost tourism and the promotion of brazilian destinations with leases of cinema from Brazil and the world,” said Vanessa Mendonça, director of Marketing and Marketing support of the MTur.The idea of the group is to work to extend the leases of national cinema in scenarios that promote both the traditional as well as new tourist destinations, in addition to attracting international productions filming in Brazil that disclose the country out there. Cities such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, that have a “Film Commission” structured, already have positive results on the rentals of films, television programs, and video advertising.According to Daniel Celli, coordinator of the São Paulo Film Commission, the state capital authorised, in 2017, over 3,300 leases involving more than 1,100 audio and visual productions. “In addition to gains in tourism with the promotion of spontaneous of the target, the data relating to the last two and a half years, indicate the generation of 50 thousand jobs and spending in the order of a billion reais declared by its producers,” he said.The Brazilian Audiovisual Independent (Bravi), which represents the segment of production, independent film and television in Brazil, celebrated the formation of the thematic working group. “This synergy of tourism with the cinema is good for the two segments. On the one hand, the creative economy of the audiovisual sector and the tourism industry. When a person identifies a destination for the image of the cinema or television, she wants to know the place and travel as a tourist,” said John Roni, president of the association.The Bravi represents 650 producers from all regions of Brazil and in the last year alone they were responsible for the production of 200 domestic films. The segment generates 110 thousand jobs in Brazil.

Madam President, Ladies and gentlemen, In the health, care policy, we solve, what we agreed at the beginning of this coalition together, and focus on the substantive work. We have announced to bring together, in the first six months of the three packages on the way to improve the supply in Germany, concretely in everyday life. This nursing staff-strengthening act, which we are debating today in the first reading, this is a very important part.

It comes to concrete improvements in the care, concrete improvements in the Situation in which people realize, must realize, in everyday life without support, no longer get through to need help to need care during the everyday Do. This is a serious finding for the patient itself, but also, of course, for the family, for the family members. This is especially a Situation that can affect every time, either as a patient, as a parent of dependent children, as a child of elderly parents, or to the private Partner, of the is to maintain. The theme is now arrived in every family.

A – this is the truth: This blow of fate, it means to be in need of care, we can’t wegreformieren. If at once, because man can no longer climb the stairs, a nursing bed in the living room, which is in many families, the case is altered quite a lot in the family life. Now it is a question that we, as a society, is the help, for which we have established long-term care insurance as a social security 20 years ago – these families. We can’t undo it, but we can help, as well as it goes: support in everyday life through outpatient services, nursing care, by financial recognition in as many Places as possible.

I think this is exactly the task we want to tackle with this nursing staff,-strengthening of the law: people who are in need of nursing, patients and their carers in the practical life, to help in practical everyday life. We compete, and this law is an important building block.

(Applause from the CDU/CSU as well as from members of the SPD)

There are many nurses who say: intense encounters of this trade with the fact that it supports people, particularly in the elderly, often on the last life that you will experience a very intimate, very personal, very existential situations, even strength, even by what you get back from the people, the care, the support.

It is so, that these encounters, this force help also thanks to the efforts of everyday life. That’s why I think it’s important that we talk to all the problems that we have in focus, even on this beautiful, power pages that give this profession.

But these efforts, and Overloads are all too often too much. If a service plans life often with the family go together, if you have worked twelve days in a row, layer, had, actually, a few days off, but the call comes “A colleague/a colleague has failed. Can you fill in?“ – of course you will – if it is a physical or mental long-term load, if too much work is distributed on little shoulders – this can be the Situation, how it has evolved to often – not everywhere, but too often – in hospitals, in elderly care, outpatient as well as inpatient, and we control very specifically, against: with 13 000 new Places in residential care for the elderly, with the promise of, and the statutory implementation of that any additional care in the hospitals is fully funded and set that we can refinance from this year, starting in 2018, tariff increases in the care in the hospitals that we outsource in a next step, the maintenance budget, so the cost of care of a hospital, in the cost of financing the transfer, from the case-base.

With all of this – promotion of occupational health, supporting the investment in digitization in the care, which is by the way also help straight-outpatient care services – we want to improve working conditions in the care. We want to very specifically that can be felt: Yes, there are more colleagues. Yes, the pay is improving. – Also this is a topic we are working on. I think most of the nurses have none of it, if there’s a contest going “Who offers more?” and the Numbers 50 000, 80 000, 120 000 nurses and billion only in this way fly through the air. The have something like this, if we can improve in the daily life of the things, and that is exactly what we are proposing with this law. This is exactly the part that makes then at the end of the things better and help regain your confidence.

(Applause from the CDU/CSU as well as from members of the SPD)

We want to improve the working conditions so that nurses who have dropped out of care, say for whatever reason – frustration, family, and other reasons, it may: I return to this profession. – We need everyone. The care labour market is deserted in the whole of Germany.

(Pia Zimmermann [LEFT]: Poor working conditions, little money!)

But we want to also apply to those – because I want to pick up something from the last week – working part-time, often because of the family. In many personal encounters, they tell me, however, that I did, because the work conditions are such that work load is not so that I can do so many hours in the week. – Therefore, it is important that we improve the working conditions, the payment for improve – we are working on the concerted action of care, that care workers who have gone for these reasons, part-time, to say: Yes, it will be better

From this, some have made a campaign. Some speakers will respond to it – that’s why I want to address it and say: The Minister just want the nurses to work more. – Then there was the same indignation, a Shitstorm. You ladies and gentlemen know if this is the level on which we lead the debate on the question of how we can improve for hundreds of thousands of nurses in this country, the working conditions, then it will only produce disappointment and frustration, but in the end did not help. Because I think that is the question of how working conditions can actually improve for people who work part-time because they say: “Otherwise it is too tiring under the present working conditions”, is quite legitimate. We should answer specifically, rather than getting anywhere indignation.

(Applause from the CDU/CSU as well as from members of the SPD and the FDP)

Ladies and gentlemen, Madam President, with this bill, the nursing staff-strengthening the law, we put in many of the areas we want to improve the working conditions in concrete terms, and use it to send, I think, a strong Signal, even through the next consultations in the coming months. The policy of the Federal government, but also this coalition, the Situation of the nurses in the hospital, in inpatient and outpatient care. We want to improve specifically.

(Applause from the CDU/CSU as well as from members of the SPD)

The Covenant for the equity is in place / Words of the President of the Republic, Ivan Duque Márquez, to the General Assembly of the United Nations in the 73° period of ordinary sessions

“Mr Vice-president of the General Assembly of the Organization of the United Nations.

Excellencies Heads of State and Heads of Missions.

I greet the President of the Assembly, dr. María Fernanda Espinosa, and the Secretary-General, António Guterres.

I have the immense honor of addressing for the first time at this Assembly, full of history and transcendence, as President of Colombia.

I come to you with pride of having been elected with the highest number of votes in our electoral history and, at the same time, as a member of a new generation of colombians, motivated to unite our country around common goals.

Colombia is a magical country, where there are multiple races, regions, customs, and ecosystems.

It is a nation where the culture, ancestral heritage, nature and the spirit of hardworking and accommodating of our citizenry, defines the greatness resilient a society that does not bow to any adversity.

Our strength patriotic, hard-working, tireless, has made Colombia a town that has earned the respect of the world, the interest of the investment, and that builds a path of progress with democratic institutions.

We have been able to maintain the economic growth in the midst of complex volatilities regional.

We have seen to transform cities and transform the productive sectors, expanding the middle class, while we settled in to the challenges of globalization.

We have made progress in equality between men and women in the world of work and education. To recognize this progress, I appointed the first cabinet parity between men and women in the history of my country. But there is much to be done on this front and we will continue moving forward.

The pride of telling this story, I agree as colombian and motivates me even more when in the year 2019 we will celebrate the Bicentennial of our Independence.

Today, more than ever, your excellencies, we must be motivated to achieve social justice, to reject the hatred, the polarization, the revanchas and concentrate on achieving a COVENANT BY COLOMBIA: A COVENANT FOR THE EQUITY.

That is the invitation that we are doing: we build a Plan and a Development Agenda to define the State policy in the coming decades, taking as a reference reach for the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, in a framework of legality and entrepreneurship that will lead us to the longed-for and necessary Equity.

I want that Covenant that we propose is based on the legality.

PEACE is a goal of all colombians and everyone, absolutely everyone, we’re going to work hard for it.

But PEACE must be constructed with the rule of law, which combines the public goods of security and justice.

Our Government will work for the process of demobilization, disarmament and reintegration advance in recent years to come forward with success.

Provide them with to those who have opted for a genuine return to legality, subject to the principles of truth, justice, reparation and non-repetition, adequate opportunities to progress and protection.

I am grateful today for the support of the United Nations for their commitment to contribute to this process to be successful, and for that reason we have asked you to continue with these tasks.

Similarly, excellencies, we will work to reach all the regions of the country, mainly those that have been hard hit by the violence, the resources and the investments that generate hope.

The Mission of the United Nations system in Colombia, as are our organs of control, know that our Government received the fragile on several fronts.

First, there is the fragility of budget: Were made many commitments without allocating sufficient resources.

And second, is the institutional fragility: created a dispersed and complex architecture that has until now been unable to move forward effectively in achieving all of the objectives.

But I want to reiterate before this Assembly our purpose, the purpose of Colombia, is cumplirles to those who have taken the path of genuine stop the violence.

We hope to have the financial support of the international community to give strength to this process.

But as well as they will comply to those who are subject to the rules, it is also our duty to apply the law in a manner exemplary to those who persist on the path of crime.

We’re not going to accept that there is repetition and more violence. Those who follow in the world of the crime and intend to mock the victims and the generosity of the colombian people, will receive the full weight of Justice.

Mr. Vice-president: if we want Colombia to shine and shine peace, it is necessary to overcome the drug trade.

In the area of illicit crops, a few weeks ago we received an alarming situation. The trend of incremental of the last five years cannot continue, as these crops have become the fuel and the stimulus to the emergence of dangerous armed groups.

Hence, we are committed to dismantling these networks of transnational crime with a comprehensive agenda.

The drug trade, your excellencies, it is a global threat.

It is true that we must do more in terms of prevention and care to the addicts from a public health approach. That is a truth incontrovertible.

But it is NO less true that the drug trade in Colombia is a predator of the environment, a destroyer of institutions and, above all, a corrupter of social.

Fight against this phenomenon and at the same time promoting a society that rejects the drugs by their devastating effects on health and society, it is our moral duty.

We are already taking measures, and I welcome the fact that two days ago, we support the global call to Action against the Drug Problem, recognizing that the work is of all and requires all countries to contribute, including those where consumption grows and also to those who are manufacturers of precursor chemicals.

130 nations, with the leadership of the united States, we committed ourselves to continue this struggle. We will not give up nor we will accept as the destination of the addiction that is destroying the souls of many young people.

******

The legality also means the defeat of corruption.

Corruption is a threat to democracy, social values, and institutions must be confronted with determination.

From the first day of our Government’s present measures before Congress, and then, in response to popular demand, we have put in place with all parties of an ambitious and needed agenda.

We show Colombia and the world that we are able to unite in the purposes national.

I invite the international community to strengthen the tools and mechanisms of sanction against corruption, transnational.

To defeat corruption is a task that involves all of us and we must make all the necessary efforts to make visible to the corrupt and to accelerate their court sanctions and social sanctions.

Our commitment to Development, your excellencies, our PACT FOR COLOMBIA, also seeks to encourage entrepreneurship and the revival of the Economy.

The Objectives of Sustainable Development validated our agenda for a Colombia where science and technology are seen driven by connectivity, access to capital, the advancement of the Economy of Orange and the promotion of research.

A Colombia committed to the protection of biodiversity, the impulse to the renewable energies, the reduction of the individual fingerprint of carbon and the formation of a citizenry empowered by ethics completely unwavering.

The world should know that this is the Colombia that we want to build every day.

******

We will work to achieve this Colombia. That is our challenge, that is our motivation. For that reason I must tell the world that these objectives face a major challenge.

That challenge, that challenge that our country is experiencing today are thousands of fearful faces, with cold in the bones, hunger in the stomach and pain of the Homeland.

It is a challenge that at this precise moment to walk outside and with uncertainty for colombian highways.

Are the venezuelan brothers and sisters who are fleeing a dictatorship.

Many of them are innocent children, unprotected and exposed to the tragedy of exile.

While the conflict in Syria has generated a flow of 600 thousand migrants a year just to Turkey in a period of six years, Colombia, in less than two years, has opened the doors to nearly one million venezuelan brothers and sisters.

We have received them with affection, and we always will in spite of any difficulty social and fiscal because us binds us to the fraternity.

But we cannot stop calling things by their name.

We are living the immigration crisis and humanitarian most outrageous of the recent history of the region, for the account of a dictatorship that wiped out the freedoms.

Today I want to make clear that the self-determination of peoples can not be manipulated to become the self determination of the oppressors.

The world must act and you must join so that this exodus a tragic coming to an end and people can see hope flourish.

This is a global challenge. The end of the dictatorship, the return to democracy and full freedom is the only possible way.

That is why the international community must ask for the immediate freedom of the political prisoners and to quickly identify the best solutions to this crisis and prevent this desolation and despair will continue to increase.

I want the United Nations to listen to what we ask for and I am glad that you have heard the request of Colombia and the Secretary-General has appointed Eduardo Stein as Joint Special Representative for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela, and so raise this discussion.Thank you also to all the countries who joined us yesterday at the High-Level Meeting, convened by Colombia, where it was clear the regional commitment to address this humanitarian crisis.These measures must be accompanied by the creation of a Multilateral Fund to cater to the migrant population, a victim of this dictatorship.That’s why we must encourage the proposal that has been announced by the inter-American Development Bank and its president, Luis Alberto Moreno.But just as important, your excellencies, is the exercise of all of the international mechanisms to denounce, investigate and sanction by the International Criminal Court to those who have planted this tragedy frail.****Your excellencies, it is an honor for me to address this Assembly, to expose the vision that we have for Colombia, calling for global solidarity in front of the venezuelan people and to make them an invitation.The world today more than ever requires the cooperation and multilateralism.Is the time to integrate and not isolate ourselves.It is time to do the trade and cooperation are the way of the shared opportunities.We have a duty to move forward in a world where alliances will enable us to mitigate the effects of climate change, to consolidate a fair trade, tackling corruption and transnational crime, generate employment opportunities, end discrimination, and solidify the idea of producing, preserving and preserve producing.The Colombia of LEGALITY, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, and EQUITY that we want to build is already in progress, and in addition we will not leave anything for us to take the hope of being a country that thinks big, being a country that dreams of a better future and work for the integration of the nations.Thank you very much”.(End)
