 Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup with People's Dispatch where we bring you some of the top stories from across the globe. Let's take a look at today's headlines. Argentine youth Facundo Castro's body identified a month after he disappeared. Chilean senators present will to allow COVID-19 patients to vote in plebiscite. South Korean doctors end strike after deal with government. Venezuela invites the UN and European Union members to observe December elections. South African health workers protest over poor working conditions. On Wednesday, four months after he disappeared, it was confirmed that a body found on August 16 was that of Facundo Astudio Castro. 22-year-old Castro had left his hometown of Pedro Loro on April 30 to travel to Bahia Blanca in the south of the Buenos Aires province of Argentina. Following the discovery, hundreds of protesters came out in the streets of the capital demanding justice for Castro and against forced disappearances in the country. Since his disappearance, it was revealed that the provincial police had detained him even as police officials made contradictory declarations about what had happened. Meanwhile, some of his belongings were found in the police station in a town between Pedro Loro and Bahia Blanca. Facundo's mother has already met with the Argentine President Alberto Fernández and also with the governor of the Buenos Aires province, Axel Kisilov. Both leaders stated that they will not cover up anyone in a clear message to the police. However, the Minister of Security of the province, Sergio Bernier, former member of the military maintains that the members of the force are innocent and he supports the theory that it was an accident. Protesters have demanded the setting up of an independent investigative commission in parallel to the judiciary to look into the matter. On Tuesday, Chilean senators Guedo Girardi of the Party for Democracy and Pedro Araya of the Christian Democratic Party presented a reform bill to allow COVID-19 positive individuals to vote in the upcoming constitutional plebiscite. The bill seeks to reform the recently enacted safe referendum law. The plebiscite is scheduled to be held on 25th October. Last week, Chilean President Sebastian Pinera promulgated the safe referendum law with special powers to the electoral service to take necessary sanitary and security measures for holding safe elections. The law allows the electoral service to decide the extension of voting hours, implementation of health protocols among other measures. It also allows the electoral authority to decide whether or not to allow people infected the coronavirus to vote. Late in August, the Interior Minister, Victor Perez, announced that people infected with COVID-19 and those in close contact with them will not be able to take part in the referendum. Girardi and Araya are concerned that the increasing rate of contagion could affect the vote to turn out in general doubts regarding the legitimacy of the electoral process. Meanwhile, the eye-approved dignified Chile, which is a platform that brings together several left-wing political parties, social movements and trade unions, is campaigning to urge the citizens to vote. The plebiscite was a key demand of the massive protests in Chile against the policies of Sebastian Pinera. The announcement of the plebiscite was a victory for the protesters who were opposing the policies and political system that has remained since the time of the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Currently, Chile is the sixth hardest hit Latin American country and the 11th most effective nation by the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. As of September 3rd, Chile has registered over 416,000 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus and over 11,000 deaths. On Friday, the Democratic Party government in South Korea signed a deal with the Korea Medical Association ending the two-week long doctor strike in the country. A crucial part of the deal was an agreement from the government to put on hold its controversial healthcare reforms during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of doctors, medical interns and trainees and medical students in South Korea have been on strike since the 23rd of August protesting against the Democratic Party's healthcare reform plan introduced earlier this year. The uproar over the proposed reforms came at a time when the nation was grappling with the second surge in the COVID-19 cases. The KMA is the largest medical association in the country representing over two-thirds of president doctors. The deal will ensure a process to resume negotiations between the government and medical professionals once the COVID-19 situation stabilizes in the country. The Democratic Party has also agreed to invest in enhancing the existing medical infrastructure and improving the work conditions of trainee doctors. The party has, however, not given up its proposed healthcare reforms altogether but has agreed to discuss with doctors groups before moving ahead. The healthcare reform plan sought to bridge the urban rural divide in public healthcare in South Korea. To this, the doctors' unions have argued that the urban rural divide in public healthcare is due to the large-scale expansion of private healthcare at the cost of public healthcare. On Thursday, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Ariiza tweeted a letter inviting members from the United Nations and the European Union to observe the upcoming elections in December. The letter has been sent to UN Chief Antonio Guterres and the EU's top diplomat Joseph Borrell. The letter shows the EU and UN officials that their electoral observation and accompaniment will help build consensus in the construction of a climate of peace, national reconciliation and the resolution of our difficulties through democratic electoral and constitutional means. This move follows the government's decision to pardon leaders of the opposition accused of conspiring against the government. However, the US-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido has rejected this move and reiterated the commitment to boycott the elections. Joseph Borrell, the EU representative, has also welcomed the move. In our in-focus section today, we bring you a story of protest by healthcare professionals in South Africa, which is another country which is grappling with the severe outbreak of COVID-19. We are not satisfied about our salaries, our vacation leaves and also the money that for the COVID-19 still we are not satisfied about it. It will be no blackmail because of COVID-19 to the workers, to now say to society we have no money to fight COVID-19. Therefore, we can't pay workers of all its due to them when they are actually increasing their working hours on a daily basis. It is clear that we are still going to fight as now and many other possible affiliates are the beggars that we must be prepared to win at all costs. Comrades, that we lose our hands and we lose both our legs. We are prepared to fight to the bitter end. Thank you.
