BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ asked its followers to appreciate BTS's visit to Colombia without measuring it against experiences in other countries. It pointed out that each place had a different context and that the differences should not be interpreted as a measure of the artists' affection for each audience. The organization recalled the group's first visit to the country and mentioned their expressions, words, questions about why they hadn't come earlier, and apologies. It also acknowledged that some aspects could have been different and stated that there would be learnings for future visits, but it urged not to conclude that what was missing diminished the value of the experience. Regarding the third date, BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ stated that conclusions were circulating that did not necessarily correspond to reality. It said that there was information that could not be shared publicly but maintained that the outcome had not been anyone's fault, and urged not to fill the gaps with rumors. Finally, it called for prudence when talking about the artists and their intentions, and encouraged followers to cherish the memories of the visit and to work towards future opportunities with hope, not resentment. #ARMYColombia #BTS #Reflexión (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that sanctioning magistrates and judges constituted an ignominy against humanity and asserted that Latin America should not allow it. He said that the OFAC list should disappear and be replaced by an effective global instrument against drug traffickers. He also called for the replacement of political lists that, according to him, promoted apartheid and segregation with guarantees for free thought and expression, and proposed to rebuild a broader and deeper international law on that basis. He added that international justice should investigate and judge international drug trafficking and pursue drug traffickers and their assets anywhere in the world. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #Narcotráfico (translated)

The 'Hack the Ableism' campaign by Impulsa Igualdad has plastered Madrid with phrases that question ableist language, seeking to make visible and reflect on everyday expressions that, although often said with good intentions, can hide paternalistic and condescending attitudes towards people with disabilities. #Capacitismo #Igualdad #Discapacidad (translated)

Manu Jove supported the Deputy Secretary of State of the United States, Sarah Rogers, and argued that a joke or a meme on social media should not be taken to court because, in his opinion, it violated freedom of speech. He also deemed both the complaint against Gordo Dan from the Islamic Center and the one presented by DAIA against Rebord, which had already been dismissed, as inappropriate. Jove stated that Javier Milei rejected one complaint and at the time celebrated the other, attributing this difference to a logic of "friend-enemy" and to the lack of coherence of the president. #LibertadDeExpresión #RedesSociales #Política (translated)

Kalina Ann stated that, only so far this year, Islam had targeted several communicators and that it sought to set a precedent at any cost.

The spokesperson for Vox in the Parliament of Castilla y León, David Hierro, called the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, a psychopath during a plenary session and refused to retract despite the PSOE's request, which warned that the expression could be a crime of defamation. #Vox #PedroSánchez #CastillayLeón (translated)

"Although we see the US as one of the oldest democracies in the world, it is important to remember that until the mid-20th century, a significant part of the population could not fully exercise its political rights. Furthermore, its institutions were designed with a tremendous capacity for the elites to protect their interests. Trump does not appear out of nowhere. He is the political expression of processes that have been developing for decades," deepens Susan C. Stokes, considered one of the... #Ultraderecha #Deslegitimación #Elecciones (translated)

Gustavo Petro asked the owner of El Espectador to publish the evidence that he claimed to have presented to the justice system to denounce a fraud. He asserted that the newspaper was hiding it for fear that a person he deemed illegitimate would reward him by eliminating the vital minimum wage. Petro argued that the fraud should not be resolved through a legal tutor and that the people should express themselves first. Among the evidence he requested to be disclosed, he mentioned E14 forms which, he claimed, could be modified after the arbitrary and illegal elimination of a Hash lock by the incumbent registrar. He also requested the publication of expert analysis regarding the supposed absolute absence of randomness in the results of thousands of consecutive polling places, which, according to him, would respond to a mathematical formula and not to the actions of voters. He said that peers and experts should be able to examine that evidence. #FraudeElectoral #Periodismo #DerechoAVerdad (translated)

LadyCrocs argued that the Constitution allows the Government to enact legislative provisions in the face of an extraordinary and urgent need, but requires that they be submitted immediately to a vote in Congress, as legislative power belongs to the legislative branch. According to her, Congress rejected the government's decrees last week and, when there is no Congress due to its dissolution, it is the Permanent Deputation's responsibility to approve them. She stated that it was legally disputable whether there was an extraordinary and urgent need to approve the provisional housing provisions last week. In her view, re-approving them to now submit them to the Permanent Deputation would constitute a "fraud of law." She also pointed out that these provisions could not affect General Electoral Law. The author added that, in her opinion, breaching the rules could also be justified with the argument that this was what the law established, and she defended that judges were citizens with freedom of expression and the capacity to analyze reality. She said she would continue to express her opinions and write as long as the law allowed her and that she would block those whom she indicated did not debate with respect. #Constitución #Derecho #Política (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that the University of Córdoba had been under the control of Salvatore Mancuso, with the murders of dozens of students and professors, and pointed out that Abelardo had been an advisor to Mancuso and paramilitarism. Petro said he had held parliamentary debates on the influence of drug trafficking and paramilitary groups in politics, including public universities. He wrote that he denounced that these had been taken over to divert resources, promote violence, and restrict freedom of thought and expression. He added that, after his debates and accusations against politicians allegedly allied with armed drug traffickers, 35% of senators were convicted and imprisoned by the Supreme Court of Justice. He also claimed that the court was persecuted and replaced by the "cartel of the toga" and corrupt prosecutors. The president maintained that, after the fall of politicians linked to drug trafficking — whom he said were succeeded by family members — the University of Córdoba was freed from paramilitarism and grew significantly in coverage and quality. He stated that those who benefited from the takeover of the institution stagnated it while turning the private university into a business and hoarding peasant lands and water through violence. Petro said that these sectors governed Córdoba and had a president, despite not having a majority, and that they sought to return to the past. He attributed to them the halting of programs of his government to recover swamps, including the Grande, and to promote agrarian reform in Córdoba and Sucre. He also asserted that they wanted to stop the development of the university and the access of Cordoban youth to knowledge. Finally, he called on the Historic Pact to summon the people to elect delegates to its congress and urged resistance against what he described as a new advance of allies of drug trafficking and violence, with municipal coordinations ideally made up of women, peasants, and youth. #UniversidadDeCórdoba #Narcoparapolítica #DerechosHumanos (translated)
