Charlotte Matteini argued that the uproar surrounding the email threats was primarily fueled by the way the incident was handled by the media and politics. According to her account, the message from the sender, who provocatively referred to the "leader of the Misoginistan," had reached over 6,000 schools in Italy, but the evacuations were about 300. She added that some schools had not seen the email because it ended up in spam, and that others had evaluated it together with law enforcement, deciding not to evacuate. For Matteini, this demonstrated that the procedure was not automatic and that school principals could assess how to intervene. Matteini attributed the panic among students and parents to the way the threat had been communicated, not to the threat itself. She also questioned the usefulness of moving students to the courtyard if the alarm suggested a bomb capable of destroying the building. She criticized the initial coverage by newspapers, which for about two hours had reported evacuations in 300 schools without the text of the email being disseminated yet. In her opinion, the press had continued to highlight the incident even after the message was published and had presented the receipt of spam emails as a national security issue, diverting attention from the implementation of protocols without adequate assessment. Finally, she wondered whether that reaction was useful and whether showing a potential attacker that an email could throw the country into panic was an appropriate way to address a possible hybrid war. #Italia #Scuola #Sicurezza (translated)

Gustavo Petro said that he had spent a good part of his life facing lawsuits and attacks for denouncing violence and corruption, and that the criticisms on social media often preceded judicial processes. He stated that he would face the current case before the judges and maintained that he had never used state contracts to obtain favors. He also defended the women who worked in his government and said that they had been chosen for their ability and effort. Petro pointed out that the material circulating had not been examined by experts nor valued by a judge, and that its date, origin, and actual content were unknown. He assured that it did not show corruption, as, according to him, there were no contracts, payments, or governmental decisions related to it. He added that the magistrate had ordered a reservation and that he would respond in the case file, not in a video. He asked the authorities to protect the witness and the other people involved in the process. He also questioned those who spread images of the supposed intimacy of individuals to support a political discussion and asked if that could be considered journalism. Petro argued that such attention diverted focus from a law that, according to him, reduced sentences for drug traffickers, increased taxes for poor people and wage workers, and granted more privileges to the rich. He stated that the law would not pass constitutional scrutiny. Finally, he said that he had instructed his lawyer to go to the authorities for what he described as a new attack and to file a lawsuit against the submission law the next day. #Justicia #Corrupción #DerechosHumanos (translated)
