Pablo Iglesias stated that insults and reactions of hate against Irene Montero had become common again in progressive circles, media, and among party affiliates. According to what he wrote, the criticisms focused on attributing ambition, egotism, and a desire to retain a position to her, arguments that, he said, may have stopped being heard since 2024. Iglesias shared an article by Raúl Solís that, as he explained, gathered examples of those arguments to point out a double standard regarding other political figures. https://t.co/voTl2pr5Nc #IreneMontero #Política #Progresismo (translated)

Félix de Bedout stated that a thread from María Paz Gaviria showed that the controversy over Pizarro's hat and the alleged glorification of a guerrilla fighter had served as an excuse for a deeper measure. He claimed that what happened at the National Museum had been a purge comparable to the Nazi campaign against so-called degenerate art, aimed at imposing an official idea of acceptable art. De Bedout pointed out that the measure had been presented as a fight against "woke" culture, despite many of the censored works and objects being from before that term became popular. He also accused those who ran the national cultural institutions of acting with great ignorance and said that, unlike some Nazis who removed works to appropriate them while admiring their authors, in Colombia they did not understand what they were seeing. Finally, he highlighted the response from cultural institutions and figures in the country who, as he wrote, did understand the subject, and referred to the phrase about pulling a gun upon hearing about culture. #Cultura #Arte #LibertadDeExpresión (translated)

Rafael Narbona said he didn’t know if Podemos was responsible for the failure of a unified left candidacy, but he argued that the party had acted poorly by allowing, directly or indirectly, its supporters to insult and harass those who criticized their leaders on social media. He stated that, although he had criticized the PSOE many times without suffering similar attacks, he had received them from the far-right, from Podemos supporters, and from independents. He also described nationalism as reactionary and pointed to the emergence of Alianza Catalana, whose proposals he considered similar to those of Vox. Narbona recounted that it had been falsely claimed that Podemos helped him when they tried to evict him, clarifying that he lived in a house he owned. He also maintained that Podemos had not created the left or feminism and that it had weakened the left with demagoguery, inconsistencies, and a strategy that, in his view, prioritized identity disputes over social demands. He added that he considered it legitimate to live in a chalet and send his children to a private school, but he criticized those options and then resorted to them. Finally, he said that the noise from Podemos supporters on social media mattered less than electoral results and that their belligerence contributed to strengthening the far-right. He stated that he would continue to express his opinions and explained that he had limited responses to avoid insults and falsehoods. #Podemos #Izquierda #Ultraderecha (translated)

Radix stated that the images coming from France had terrified the reactionary sectors of Europe, as, he wrote, they reminded them of the power of the proletariat even without a revolutionary organization aimed at taking political power. He concluded with the phrase "A ghost is haunting Europe." https://t.co/YYV9U6LkOT #proletariado #Francia #Europa (translated)

"Donald Trump again confirms that he is on the side of a bloodthirsty bully and the facilitators of the Russian war machine and against the majority of Americans, their representatives in both chambers of Congress, and our European allies," reacted Senator Richard Blumenthal, one of the Democrats who spoke out to criticize the suspension of sanctions by the U.S. president. #Zelenski #Trump #SancionesRusia (translated)

Invictos noted that Hansi Flick reacted with astonishment to Lamine Yamal's goal against Real Betis.

Since they cannot accept the situation they are in, which is due to their own decisions, they look for a thousand excuses. They should do some internal self-criticism, but they are going to explode. Laporta made these statements a day after Javier Tebas compared the attitude of Real Madrid TV to the propaganda mechanisms of Nazi Germany, to which Real Madrid reacted by demanding his "immediate resignation" as president of LaLiga and vice president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation. #LaLiga #FCBarcelona #JoanLaporta (translated)

Pablo Echenique thanked the members of Podemos in the regions who, as he wrote, had negotiated in good faith, while the Frente Amplio negotiated behind their backs with the PSOE for the Senate. He also accused progressive media of spreading lies and contributing to demoralizing them. He also thanked those who defended both his political project and, in his words, "the facts and reality" on social media. Echenique stated that Podemos could push for an independent project from the PSOE and without compromises, after Sumar had disintegrated in just three years. He argued that this autonomy would allow for denouncing the rearmament, the handing over of the CGPJ to the PP, the corruption of the PSOE, and, he said, the protection of the interests of rentiers. He also highlighted the joint candidacy of Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián, whom he described as the left-wing leaders with the most recognition and appeal at that time. The Podemos leader anticipated that media pressure would increase and accused the media of publishing false polls that would attribute votes from other parties to the Frente Amplio. He stated that this coverage was due to the fear of a left that did not obey orders or accept agreements for a few senators. He urged his supporters to move forward and pointed out that on Sunday, November 29, voters could decide at the polls. #Podemos #Izquierda #Elecciones2023 (translated)

"They have tried to break us in every way and have achieved the exact opposite. Today we are more united and stronger than ever. So, let them hear it loud and clear, I love you." Sánchez called for a historic mobilization and a "much broader" political support on November 29 in the face of the advance of the right and the "reactionary wave" in Spain. #PedroSánchez #BegoñaGómez #Elecciones2026 (translated)

Pilar Bernabé stated that there were more women than men leading the PSOE lists for Congress and described the party as the one that best represented women and resembled Spain. She also argued that, in the face of a reactionary wave that, as she wrote, wanted to send women back to the home and silence, they would once again be at the forefront in an election in which, she said, they had everything at stake. #MujeresEnPolítica #IgualdadDeGénero #Elecciones2023 (translated)

The PSOE stated that Spain opposed the reactionary wave, the deniers, and the cuts, and maintained that on November 29 they would again stop those who, as they wrote, wanted to roll back rights and freedoms.

"Politics often mistreats good people, her case is one of them. I regret that Montse is not continuing as a deputy because she is a great politician, she is a very good person, and when she told me that it was for personal reasons that she was leaving politics, I can only support her and, of course, respect that," reacted Pedro Sánchez on Friday from Brussels. #ViviendaDigna #PolíticaEspañola #RentaInmobiliaria (translated)
