Son who 'felt betrayed' is jailed after killing father in drunken row
A man who "felt betrayed by his father" has been jailed for nearly seven years after killing him in a drunken row. Oxford Crown Court heard Daniel Gonzalez, 41, had drunk half a litre of brandy before pushing past his elderly dad on the stairs, causing him to fall on 15 December 2024. Danny Robinson KC, prosecuting, said Matias Gonzalez, 79, had a long-standing heart condition and used a pacemaker. The court was told the retired car factory worker lost his balance and fell down the staircase at their home in the Garsington area of Oxford, suffering fatal head injuries from which he died in hospital. The prosecution said the incident involved a debt that the defendant was owed by another man. "He [Daniel Gonzalez] said he felt betrayed by his father as he had been looking for the man who owed him £1,500," Mr Robinson said. Daniel Gonzalez pleaded guilty to manslaughter. The court heard the defendant phoned the emergency services and told the call handler: "I tried to get down the stairs and pushed past him and he fell. I didn't push him down the stairs." He had previously launched drunken attacks against his father, but Matias Gonzalez had not supported a prosecution against his son. Mr Justice Dexter Dias jailed Daniel Gonzalez for six years and 10 months for manslaughter and told him he would serve two-thirds of the sentence in custody before being eligible for parole. During sentencing, the judge said the defendant "felt betrayed by his father" but had engaged in a "dangerous and reckless act" by pushing his father on the stairs. He also said there were "three [previous] incidents of domestic abuse" and described the pair as having a "difficult and dysfunctional relationship". "The defendant clearly has great difficulty in regulating and controlling his drinking. "This was a sudden, reckless act... I accept the defendant has to live with the knowledge that he killed his father," he said. Andrew Selby KC, defending, said: "It was difficult for Mr [Daniel] Gonzalez to accept that he was responsible for the death of his own father."

The $2.5 billion Rio Tinto Lithium Mining Project has been Approved by Argentina
According to Daniel Gonzalez, Secretary of Mining and Energy Coordination, Argentina has authorized a $2.5 billion lithium mining project by Rio Tinto Group (NYSE:RIO), the first mining approval under the nation's RIGI investment incentive program. The Rincon project, in Salta province, attempts to profit from Argentina's large lithium reserves while also increasing foreign currency inflows in the face of economic constraints. At the moment, Argentina is the fourth-largest producer of lithium globally. Aerial view of an open pit mine, with workers extracting minerals. For investors, the RIGI scheme provides long-term regulatory stability, access to international arbitration, and tax and customs benefits. The market is worried about bureaucratic delays since, out of seven proposals, Rio Tinto Group (NYSE:RIO)'s project is the only one approved during the program's nine-month existence. The head of the mining chamber CAEM, Roberto Cacciola, stressed the significance of this permission while pointing out industry concerns over delayed progress. Despite the rule's 45-day resolution deadline, five lithium projects and two for gold and copper are still pending judgments for other applicants, including Ganfeng of China, McEwen Copper of Canada, and Posco of South Korea. Mining is a top priority for President Javier Milei's administration to stabilize an economy plagued by inflation. Gold, silver, and lithium were the top three minerals that Argentina exported last year, totaling $4.8 billion.
