The author argued that the representative liberal democracy based on the public sphere no longer existed. He attributed its disappearance to Cambridge Analytica, Cerimedo, Javier Negre, bots, social media, and algorithms, as well as to media controlled by investment funds and millionaires, whom he linked to manipulation.

Gustavo Petro stated that Cerimedo, whom he described as a drug trafficker, had wanted to kidnap Evo Morales in Bolivia with Israeli and American help. He added that Morales did not have an international arrest warrant and described the offensive against Latin American progressivism as a "pogrom," to which, he said, the peoples of the region were rising up. https://t.co/IEeeru5FYO #Bolivia #Progresismo #Latinoamérica (translated)

In a leaked and verified audiotape published today in the Bolivian media, Brad Parscale's partner in MAGA SUR, Fernando Cerimedo is heard discussing with Bolivia's minister of public works their scheme, funded and supported by the Trump administration to kidnap former Bolivian President Evo Morales.

POPTime reported that, according to Cerimedo's ex-girlfriend, the Argentine marketer of Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign acted with Meta to reduce President Lula's reach.

Gustavo Petro stated that an imprisoned prosecutor had asked a judge to protect him from those who, he said, could kill him in prison because of the people he had imprisoned. He also asked Evo Morales, Luis Arce, and social leaders from Bolivia to support threatened judges and prosecutors. He maintained that they had discovered that Fernando Cerimedo, whom he accused of links to drug trafficking and of being a Nazi and a femicide, was a business partner and a member of a circle of friends of a son of U.S. President Donald Trump. Petro pointed out that the Bolivian prosecutor's office could have suppressed the people and served wealthy sectors, but he called for unity among those who were not fascists and to defend democracy. He stated that the peoples of the region had a history of 60,000 years and called for unity and organization. He also urged Trump to correct his son's behavior and his policy towards Latin America; he argued that Israeli algorithms linked, according to him, to genocide were replacing voters, and called for respect for Afro-Latin America. He warned the U.S. president not to unleash popular violence. https://t.co/4VTfJykSS4 #Bolivia #Unidad #Democracia (translated)

Gustavo Petro defended the pension reform and denied that his government had bought support to approve it. He said that the House of Representatives backed it widely and that the then President of the Senate, Iván Name, delayed the debate for eight months so that it would fail due to lack of time. He also accused Magistrate Ibáñez of keeping it frozen for two years in the Constitutional Court, although he pointed out that the reform had already passed that stage. According to Petro, millions of elderly people, many of them from the right, could receive a pension thanks to the law. Regarding the allegations related to the UNGRD, Petro asked the Pacto Histórico bench to commission a forensic audit of the entire existence of the entity, since 2010, and to publish the names of those whom he claimed had embezzled it. He stated that only one person from the Pacto Histórico appeared on the extensive list, whom he said he had removed from the administration and whom, according to him, the party expelled. He also argued that justice should investigate whether Name had received public money through his romantic or political environment. Petro claimed that, during the first month of his government, resources were recovered that he attributed to Olmedo's group and that then the UNGRD was sidelined in the assistance to people trapped after an earthquake in the west of the country. Citing a journalistic investigation by Nueva Prensa, he stated that a private coordination center had been set up in the house of Gregory Schaller, whom he identified as Abelardo's compadre. He linked Andrés Depew, Negre — whom he described as a partner of Fernando Cerimedo — and people who, according to him, had ties to Donald Trump and businessman Dan Newlin to that place. Petro stated that Newlin had illegally lent his plane and resources during Abelardo's campaign. In the same publication, Petro mentioned businessman Yadid Jalaff, whom he said was accused of stealing Colombian-Venezuelan Monómeros, and Jorge Alberto Campillo Vélez, whom he described as one of Pablo Escobar's first pilots. He also pointed out pilot Luis Almeira Quiroz and linked him to a flight of paramilitaries from Urabá to San José del Guaviare, which, according to Petro, allowed the Mapiripán massacre, in which 50 farmers were murdered. He asked how much money had been raised to address the earthquake and if that explained why, according to him, the full operation of the UNGRD had been prevented and international aid and volunteers had been rejected. https://t.co/eiJJnl3Lxu #ReformaPensional #Justicia #Corrupción (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that El Tiempo had become a sort of office for Fernando Cerimedo and criticized that, according to him, he didn't even consult the internet. He also maintained that the security companies that Abelardo claimed to sanction had already been sanctioned by the superintendent of security, Jennifer Parra, for being linked to criminal gangs and arming and escorting criminals. https://t.co/RXF3jCjkyG #Seguridad #Delincuencia #Internet (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that Nadia Beller could go to the International Criminal Court and that the complaint he filed as president should initiate a process in that court. He argued that there should be an investigation into an alleged attempted femicide in Beller's case, within what he described as a crime against humanity: the persecution of a civil group due to their political identity. Petro claimed that Bolivia's justice system did not want to investigate that crime and pointed to Cerimedo and his associates. He also accused Negre, Cerimedo's partner, of being the main responsible for creating platforms and bot farms against him. He attributed this activity to his leadership of Colombia's progressive movement and to a government that, he said, defended national sovereignty and the interests of workers and farmers. #DerechosHumanos #Justicia #Feminismo (translated)

Milei's remorseful affirmed that the president of Bolivia had thanked the United States for its support to intervene in the Judiciary and imprison the Attorney General who was investigating Fernando Cerimedo. He also linked the situation to a "new Condor Plan" and ironically described it as something normal. https://t.co/JrcU03FwhM #Bolivia #Justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

The author argued that, after the devastation of Gaza and Maduro's kidnapping, Trump had crossed the Rubicon and sealed his fate. He added that since then, a hardline approach and a dynamic of action and reaction had taken hold. He also claimed that the DEA had kidnapped the Attorney General of Bolivia because, as he wrote, he had evidence against Cerimedo for taking money from drug traffickers. https://t.co/Vs0WJJLDq8 #Gaza #Trump #Bolivia #GT #BO (translated)

As attorney general, Mariaca had been investigating Fernando Cerimedo for a series of alleged crimes, including drug trafficking, illicit enrichment, and femicide. Cerimedo had been criticized for his role as one of the main advisors to President Rodrigo Paz and for his ties to the administration of Donald Trump. In fact, he has been described as 'the MAGA [Make America Great Again] man in Latin America.' Just when the investigation seemed to gain momentum, the U.S. revoked Mariaca's visa, and less than 48 hours later, the Bolivian government ordered her arrest. The timing and sequence of events suggest political motivations. Thomas Becker, lawyer and legal director of the University Network for Human Rights, notes to elDiario.es from Bolivia that Mariaca's arrest is related to the Cerimedo case and suggests that there are political motivations. #FernandoCerimedo #Bolivia #MAGA (translated)

The Bolivian government arrests Attorney General Roger Mariaca, who was investigating ultra adviser Fernando Cerimedo, under accusations from the DEA and in a context that suggests political motivations linked to the investigation into Cerimedo and his connections to far-right figures and the Trump administration. #FernandoCerimedo #Bolivia #MAGA (translated)

Carlos Carrillo stated that accounts he described as far-right bots had acted in a coordinated manner to defend Daniel Briceño. He claimed that hundreds of accounts operated from a farm like those of Cerimedo shared Briceño's posts. Carrillo said that the use of bots, warehouses, and trolls aimed to silence those who expressed opinions, but he assured that this would not undermine the left. #Ultraderecha #Bots #Izquierda (translated)

EEUU va a perseguir a quien no se arrodille. Un cómplice de asesinato, el argentino Cerimedo, que ha trabajado con Trump junto al español @javiernegre10 y otros delincuentes para incidir en los resultados electorales de otros países, recibe ahora apoyo para que no le juzguen por #EEUU #Elecciones #Justicia #US #AR #ES

The White House wants to hide how it helped Cerimedo, a drug trafficker, to manipulate the people's consciousness in such a way that citizens would vote against their own rights. That's why it decides to revoke the visa of the judge investigating him; the world must initiate a campaign in defense of those who defend justice and truth, leaving behind the world of darkness and lies. #Justicia #Verdad #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Estados Unidos le revocó la VISA y prohibió el ingreso al país al Fiscal General de Bolivia por investigar a CERIMEDO. Para nada turbio che "No voy a retroceder por presiones externas. Voy a investigar. No voy a descansar hasta que el pueblo boliviano conozca LA VERDAD" https://t.co/8N0ieUcuQZ #Bolivia #Justicia #Transparencia

Mientras el gobierno lo llama “declaración de intenciones voluntaria” el Escudo de las Américas se cobra 27 sanciones a jueces, fiscales y empresarios de Colombia, Bolivia, Perú y Ecuador. Entre ellos al Fiscal Boliviano que lidera la investigación contra el operador de extrema derecha F. Cerimedo y el juez que falló a favor de empresa China que opera en el puerto de Chancay. Todo muy voluntario. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #AméricaLatina
