The chaos is perfect.

Chile
: end of a law discriminating against women
In Chile, parliamentarians on Tuesday evening put an end to a law that discriminates against women.
"
This law, which dated from the 19th century, prohibited divorced women or widows from remarrying before nine months, and this to dispel the doubt about the paternity of any children,
" recalls
La Voz
.
The Chilean Minister for the Status of Women, quoted by the newspaper, welcomed the repeal: “
The law we have passed puts an end to one of the most unjust discriminations of the Civil Code.

”said Monica Zalaquett.
The text must now be promulgated by Conservative President Sebastian Piñera.
Venezuela: the regime invites the international community to send observers to the legislative elections of
December 6
In Venezuela, the government of Nicolas Maduro has invited the United Nations and the European Union to send observers for the legislative elections on December 6.
The announcement was made by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza on Twitter, writes
El Pais
.
After the release of more than 100 political prisoners this week, the newspaper sees it as another attempt by the regime to legitimize the upcoming elections.
Most opposition parties refuse to participate in legislative elections.
They denounce a fraud orchestrated by the socialist regime in power.
But in this opposition a discordant voice is heard today.
And not least: Enrique Capriles, twice opposition candidate in the presidential election, yesterday called on Venezuelans to vote in the legislative elections to fight against the regime of Nicolas Maduro, several Venezuelan newspapers announced today, including
El Nacional
.
Enrique Capriles denounces the current strategy of the opposition, led by Juan Guaido.
"
It is a huge lie to make believe that without gasoline and without food Venezuelans will go out in the streets to protest and thus cause a social explosion
", argued the former candidate.
"
We are going to put in the running candidates capable of proposing a solution for the population, because the current regime will not solve anything
".
And Enrique Capriles concludes: “
There is a battle to be fought.
And it is not conducted on Twitter
”.
