Gustavo Petro denied having ordered anyone to pressure someone to testify against Álvaro Uribe or another political leader and stated that no evidence had been presented to demonstrate this. In response to the statements of Salvatore Mancuso and Angie Rodríguez, he requested that the facts be investigated and documents, communications, recordings, and the names of those involved be made public. Petro maintained that the meeting with former commanders of the self-defense groups was not held in secret and that it was established by Resolution 327 on September 21, 2025. He wrote that the act aimed to clarify the truth, repair the victims, and conclude a peace process that had begun more than twenty years ago. He added that the Attorney General's Office, the Public Prosecutor's Office, and the Ombudsman's Office were considered permanent guests to accompany and supervise the process, and asked if they had been summoned and if their representatives attended. The president said that if anyone used that space to pressure testimonies or fabricate accusations, they must respond to justice. He also stated that anyone attributing to him an order he had not given would have to answer for their statements, and insisted that responsibilities must be proven, not based on rumors. Petro linked the controversy to the need to clarify who ordered massacres, financed paramilitary groups, or benefited from their crimes. He stated that the victims deserved answers and reiterated that everything should be investigated and all parties should be heard. #Colombia #Verdad #Justicia (translated)

The Central Right evaluated that Flávio Bolsonaro started the debate better by greeting the participants and addressing public security, but Lula had a slight advantage in the first block by putting him on the defensive with questions. According to the author, Flávio avoided directly answering some of them and resorted to rhetorical questions to speak to the audience. In the evaluation of the Central Right, Flávio had a significant advantage in the second block and won the third by a small margin. The author highlighted the candidate's proposals on public security and family indebtedness and said that he also used the discussion to criticize Lula's statements about the people of Rio and his defense of early prison releases. In the final considerations, marked by interruptions, Flávio was said to have performed better, while Lula made mistakes and got flustered. The author stated that Lula dedicated a lot of time to attacks and presented few proposals. He said the president mentioned once the end of the 6x1 shift, but did not address the exemption of income tax for those earning up to R$ 5,000, the end of betting, the adjustment of Bolsa Família, or the free bus rides on weekends. The Central Right rated Flávio Bolsonaro 5.0 and Lula 4.0. Despite this, it stated that it did not expect the debate to significantly alter voting intentions. It also recommended that Flávio focus on the topics he masters and on presenting proposals. Regarding age, it said it preferred not to enter the merit but stated that the debate highlighted difficulties of one of the candidates related to that factor, which it considered concerning. #Debate2023 #SegurançaPública #EleiçõesBrasileiras (translated)
