Athletics in Europe, Presidential Inauguration in South America

The European Championships in athletics has started in Gothenburg, Sweden. Since it is a European championship, neither American nor Japanese athletes can participate. Because of this, Mum has stated that she could not care less. Dad hopes that the Norwegian athletes will be most successful, the rest of us hope for the Swedish athletes.

Meanwhile, in South America, Alvaro Uribe has been sworn into office for a second term as President of Colombia, Paula's country of birth. The constitution of the Republic of Colombia was recently amended. Previously, it was not possible to be re-elected as president, but it is now and Uribe is re-elected. Most Colombians must think it was a good thing the Constitution was amended, since they re-elected him.
