JUAN CARLOS LOPEZ: From Washington we go to Florida. We are joined there by José Manuel Rodríguez with a new fight from the Republican governor of that state, Ron DeSantis, who one might say is perhaps the main imitator of former President Donald Trump. Now the fight is on with the multinational Disney, one of the most important economic engines of that state. And why did he declare war on Disney? For criticizing a law that he put forward.

JOSE MANUEL RODRIGUEZ: DeSantis, Juan Carlos, is in campaign mode, he wants to (win reelection) as governor and also be the alternative to Donald Trump in the 2024 primaries, and perhaps this conservative political agenda points in that direction Juan Carlos.

LÓPEZ: And quite an authoritarian style of government, that of Governor DeSantis; he cannot be criticized. There’s hardly any other governor in the United States that would seek to sanction the company that creates the most jobs and greatest resources for his state, over its criticism of a law. But it is very possible that even if the Republican majority advances these measures to remove the benefits Disney enjoys, they would have no legal way to do so. We'll see how that controversy plays out. Thank you very much José Manuel Rodríguez, in Florida.
