Without any court order, they detain the attorney general of Bolivia in this manner, and Marco Rubio decides to support this action when the attorney was investigating a Nazi owner of thousands of bot farms aimed at manipulating the consciousness of millions of people in Latin America. Under this manipulation, several president allied with drug trafficking have been elected. This is not a democracy but a coup against democracy that affects not only Bolivia but humanity and the truth as a quest for civilization. That is why it is time for the expression of judges and the peoples of all of Latin America and the world to stop the arbitrariness and barbarism that spreads across the world. The forces of democracy throughout America, including the U.S., must elevate this debate in their congresses and media. (translated)

The Burkina Faso national team 🇧🇫 is still stuck in Morocco and has not yet joined Argentina 🇦🇷 while the match is scheduled for this weekend... On two occasions in recent days, the players were ready to leave the hotel with their luggage, but there has always been an issue related to the flight. As was the case against Mauritania last March, the Argentine Federation has hired a company (Eurodata Sport Ltd) managed by Jairo Pachon, a FIFA match agent, to handle the matches - the AFA paying the costs and travel but not giving any participation bonus or a share of the revenue generated by the match to its opponent. The proposed travel conditions are simple: a commercial flight (the cheapest possible). However, Mauritania had refused given the number of travel hours and had taken a private flight at its own expense. For Burkina Faso, uncertainty remains as the players have not trained while coach Amir Abdou wished for it. Time is now pressing to reach Buenos Aires... (translated)

Hayali has been criticized for years due to serious journalistic deficiencies. Both Deutsche Bahn and ZDF accused her of professional errors and the use of AI-generated material. Additionally, she made questionable statements in the context of the Middle East conflict and the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which brought her into the headlines. Ultimately, she only stands out for her bias and lack of diligence, but not for critical journalism. It is absurd that Hayali receives this award, as she is anything but critical and instead is much more characterized by hate against all who are not left-leaning. (translated)

Generation⋅s has also chosen Jean-Luc Mélenchon for the upcoming presidential elections! A clear, coherent, and courageous political decision by Generation⋅s. By choosing to start negotiations with La France Insoumise to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy, Generation⋅s has opted not to confine itself to a socialist primary and to face the political reality of the moment. This decision comes in a context where the far right continues to progress and strengthen its political and institutional foothold. In the face of this risk, the division of the left cannot become fatality. It must not also lead to a dilution of the convictions of those who advocate for a profound transformation of our social, ecological, and democratic model. This is also why this decision by Generation⋅s can be considered coherent: it prioritizes the unification of the left willing to break from liberal policies around a clearly identified project, rather than the multiplication of candidacies and competing approaches. In this configuration, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy appears, for those who defend this political line, as the only one today able to widely unify the left of rupture and offer an alternative to both liberalism and the far right. The danger would be to allow the divisions of the left to further open space for the far right, even as some convergences can be observed between certain right-wing forces and the far right. In light of this situation, building a solid, independent, and popular left alternative is more necessary than ever. So let us commend the decision of Generation⋅s. It marks a choice of political coherence: uniting the left forces that want to break from liberal policies, defend social and ecological gains, and construct a true alternative against the far right. The question is no longer about how to organize yet another primary. It is about how to build, right now, the popular unity capable of carrying a transformative left. (translated)
