Gustavo Petro said that El Espectador had mentioned his complaint about alleged electoral fraud and manipulation of millions of voters —which, according to him, the penal code refers to as "coercion of the voter"— but had not informed about its content. Therefore, he presented his allegations and asked readers to analyze them. Petro asked the registrar, in response to a legal action he had filed, why 97% of the PDF E14 forms published online by the private counting firm Thomas Gregg and Sons did not have a Hash code, despite Petro stating that he had requested it as head of State and that it had also been requested by electoral observers. He claimed that this code prevented the documents from being modified and that it had been used in his presidential election, but had been removed in subsequent elections. He also asked whether the upcoming local elections would take place without that protection. Furthermore, he argued that a forensic statistical analysis of all the polling stations had found mathematical patterns, rather than randomness, in tens of thousands of consecutive tables. He stated that the Testigos Digitales investigation —a group that, according to him, was made up of 75,000 people with knowledge of statistics and programming— had detected patterns in 1,350 voting stations, and that experts had corroborated them. He added that the analysis had utilized the Wald-Wolfowitz model, or runs test. Petro accused the registrar of lying by claiming that the PDF E14 forms had a Hash code. According to Petro, only an alphanumeric code identifying the forms had been added, but it did not prevent them from being modified, which he claimed was against the law. He also asked why the registrar had not responded to the public statement made by Donald Trump, who, according to Petro, had said that candidate Abelardo de la Espriella had won the elections thanks to him. Petro inquired whether that statement from a head of State constituted evidence against the registrar and his management. He requested that the registrar respond publicly or in the legal proceedings. #Colombia #FraudeElectoral #Democracia (translated)

SPAIN: DOES SÁNCHEZ DIVIDE SPANISH PEOPLE? FACTS AND OPINIONS THE CONTEXT: ELECTIONS IN A TENSE CLIMATE On October 5, Pedro Sánchez dissolved the Cortes and scheduled general elections for November 29. The triggering event was the failure, the previous week, of two housing decrees, rejected by the PP, Vox, and Junts. Most polls, except for the CIS, give the majority to the right. One question runs through the debate: is the head of the Government seeking to fracture the country to stay in power? Serious work must separate what is established from what is interpretation. WHAT IS DOCUMENTED ● In his statement, Sánchez called to "bend the elites" and accused Junts of "treason." ● He framed the election this way: join an "ultra-right wave" or continue being a bastion of openness and social justice. ● He also acknowledged mistakes and unfulfilled promises, according to El Español. ● The same media reports that his environment pushed him to capitalize on discontent over housing and the political cost of the PP's vote alongside Vox and Junts. ● Regarding Ceuta, The Conversation describes a crisis that has fueled protests throughout the country and a growing "cultural war." ● Vox describes the arrivals as "invasion," showing that polarization does not come solely from one side. WHAT IS INTERPRETATION Several analyses read the speech as a first campaign rally, built on a "me or chaos" narrative and the fear of a PP-Vox Government. It is a plausible political reading, but it remains a reading. The PSOE also rejects it, attributing the blockage to an opposition that it views as lacking a sense of state. Nothing in reliable sources proves a deliberate intent to divide the people. A strategy of mobilization based on confrontation is observed, which is not the same thing. THE ROYAL FAMILY: SOURCES TO HANDLE WITH CAUTION This is the most fragile section. Opinion pieces, including one from The Objective, describe a very tense relationship between Zarzuela and Moncloa, with controversies surrounding a visit by the King to Ceuta and statements by ministers. These texts rely heavily on anonymous sources and media close to the right. They do not demonstrate a strategy by Sánchez against the Crown. A verifiable fact: Zarzuela confirms that the King was informed of the decision by the Prime Minister before the announcement and that the dissolution decree was sanctioned remotely. THE TWO OPPOSITIONS AND THEIR OWN NARRATIVES The PP led by Feijóo bets on choosing between "decadence or change." Abascal, for his part, calls for voting in person instead of by mail and says he does not trust anything that Sánchez does. Each side contributes its part to the tension: all construct a narrative in which the opponent threatens the country. WHAT TO REMEMBER Polarization is real and shared. Saying that Sánchez uses it is defensible. Claiming that he wants to divide the people is an opinion. Citizens will judge on November 29, after comparing balances, promises, and accusations. SOURCES El Español, "Sánchez calls elections to 'bend the elites'" (10/5/2026) The Conversation, "How Spain's socialist-led government fumbled the Ceuta crisis" (9/18/2026) The Objective, chronicle "Felipe VI-Sánchez: an almost impossible relationship" (9/7/2026) Telecinco, reactions from Feijóo and Abascal to the electoral advance (10/5/2026) Moncloa.com, "Sánchez informs the King by phone of the electoral advance to 29-N" (10/5/2026) #Spain #PedroSánchez #Elections29N #Polarization #Ceuta #Housing #PP #Vox #EUWatchdog #EuropeanPolitics #España #PedroSánchez #Elecciones29N #Polarización #Ceuta #Vivienda #PP #Vox #EUWatchdog #PolíticaEuropea (translated)
