Vinicios Betiol stated that platforms like X and Meta manipulated the reach of candidates during the elections in Brazil and argued that the issue should be debated. According to him, left-wing candidates' profiles began receiving between 5% and 10% of their previous reach, while Nikolas Ferreira's profile was boosted. Betiol said that his profile on X used to reach 70 million people per month, but it fell to about 1 million during the election period. He also claimed that Nikolas had a greater reach than major international stars, despite electoral laws prohibiting recommendations to non-followers. Regarding his own campaign, Betiol stated that he encountered people on the streets who followed him, but many did not know he was a candidate because big techs had stopped distributing his posts. He attributed Nikolas's promotion by Meta to the fact that the deputy was the most voted and elected his own bench, whose members he considered mostly unprepared. Betiol accused the TSE of not recognizing the seriousness of the problem and said that democracy was at risk. He also claimed that his reach was starting to recover, that he had already filed a lawsuit with the Electoral Court, and that he intended to continue the dispute after the elections. According to him, he would continue addressing the issue even without receiving sufficient attention from a large part of the left. #Eleições2023 #Democracia #RedesSociais (translated)

Rafael Narbona said he didn’t know if Podemos was responsible for the failure of a unified left candidacy, but he argued that the party had acted poorly by allowing, directly or indirectly, its supporters to insult and harass those who criticized their leaders on social media. He stated that, although he had criticized the PSOE many times without suffering similar attacks, he had received them from the far-right, from Podemos supporters, and from independents. He also described nationalism as reactionary and pointed to the emergence of Alianza Catalana, whose proposals he considered similar to those of Vox. Narbona recounted that it had been falsely claimed that Podemos helped him when they tried to evict him, clarifying that he lived in a house he owned. He also maintained that Podemos had not created the left or feminism and that it had weakened the left with demagoguery, inconsistencies, and a strategy that, in his view, prioritized identity disputes over social demands. He added that he considered it legitimate to live in a chalet and send his children to a private school, but he criticized those options and then resorted to them. Finally, he said that the noise from Podemos supporters on social media mattered less than electoral results and that their belligerence contributed to strengthening the far-right. He stated that he would continue to express his opinions and explained that he had limited responses to avoid insults and falsehoods. #Podemos #Izquierda #Ultraderecha (translated)

Martin Varsavsky criticized the regularization of immigrants in Spain without requiring a work contract and the granting of the Minimum Living Income (IMV) to people who, as he wrote, had never worked. He also questioned the provision of unemployment benefits to those who stop working instead of sending them back home, and mentioned non-contributory pensions. Varsavsky argued that bringing in 700,000 immigrants a year, a third of whom are unemployed, when only 250,000 are needed, could open the door to social chaos. He added that the arrival of robots could leave many people without jobs. Regarding culture, he argued that if immigration was accepted because Spaniards were having few children, priority should be given to Hispanic people who spoke Spanish and loved Spain. #Inmigración #España #CaosSocial (translated)

Valentali described the speech as "very mature" and wrote that, in his opinion, others were not ready.
