荆棘鸟

A |     PANAMA CITY -- Protesters blocked streets across Panama on Monday, demanding the government rescind a contract to continue copper mining in a biodiverse region.Teaching and construction unions led calls against the contract with environmentalists, saying continued development threatens forested land and crucial groundwater just 75 miles (120 kilometers) west of the capital, in the state of Colon.Across Panama City, peaceful protesters handed out fliers, but in some areas on the outskirts of the capital police met protesters with tear gas. In anticipation of the largest marches since a cost of living crisis last July, both the Department of Education and the University of Panama cancelled classes. The government used social media to highlight the “enormous contribution” the mine — Panama's largest private investment ever — makes to the country's economy.In March, Panama's legislature reached an agreement with Canadian mining company First Quantum, allowing its local subsidiary, Minera Panama, to continue operating a huge open-pit copper mine in central Panama for at least 20 more years. The mine was temporarily closed last year when talks between the government and First Quantum broke down over payments the government wanted to receive.Protests began after President Laurentino Cortizo signed off on that contract on Friday after it was approved by the congress.The president acted surreptitiously, according to Fernando Abrego, leader of Panama's Association of Teachers union. “The government decided this confrontation by quickly and expeditiously approving a contract they know is rejected by the people,” he said.Teachers were joined by construction workers, who are one of country's most powerful labor groups. “The people are in the streets in defense of sovereignty," said union leader Saúl Méndez, "in the face of a contract that cedes self-determination by devastating the environment to steal resources.”It is unclear how persuasive these arguments will prove against the economic boon of a single mining site that already brings in 3% of the nation’s gross domestic product. Minera Panama says the mine will employ thousands of Panamanians and that its shipments make 80% of the country's total exports.The new contract, initially slowed by labor disagreements, secures Panama at least $375 million a year from Minera Panama, over 10 times more than the previous deal. It represents one of the largest national mining contracts in a region where other countries like Costa Rica regulate the sector more stringently and El Salvador which banned metal mining in 2017. For teachers, however, Abrego said concession was not an option, and that the teachers' union would hold an assembly to plan their next actions. “We will remain in the streets,” he said.。    小罗伯特·唐尼将在 Avengers Infinity Defense 中再次饰演他标志性的钢铁侠角色，这是一场星光熠熠的全新战斗，将在迪士尼乐园的复仇者联盟校园（Avengers Campus）对阵萨诺斯。唐尼将与众多其他漫威电影宇宙（MCU）演员一同亮相，其中包括几位期待已久的回归者：最近出演了 2023 年《惊奇队长 2》的伊曼·韦拉尼，以及在 2021 年最后一次拿起弓箭饰演鹰眼的杰瑞米·雷纳。

D | 不过，我们仍处于多元宇宙传奇之中——也许这是另一个现实中对抗萨诺斯的战斗？唐尼和麦凯还将为 Stark Flight Lab 再次出演他们的角色，这是另一项将于 2028 年推出的新游乐设施，游客将能够体验像钢铁侠一样飞行。不仅如此——布丽·拉尔森也将作为惊奇队长回归。当然，唐尼与漫威的缘分远未结束，他将在今年 12 月的《复仇者联盟：末日》和明年的《复仇者联盟：秘密战争》中主演，尽管是饰演毁灭博士。奇怪的是，看到他作为陨落的英雄回归，与鹰眼、惊奇少女和惊奇队长等人并肩作战，而这些角色目前的 MCU 状态仍然未知。欲了解更多 D23 的信息，请关注迪士尼乐园和迪士尼邮轮航线发布的所有内容，以及迪士尼主要 D23 娱乐展示会上的所有重大揭秘，包括《幻视探索》的首个正式预告，我们在《末日》中对毁灭博士本人的最佳窥见等等。图片来源：迪士尼/漫威。
