The author argued that the cessation of abundant funding from the Ibero-American left by the United States through USAID, along with Donald Trump's warning that the coups and subversive actions of "criminal narcosocialism" would have a response, had mobilized popular will in Ibero-America. The message remained unfinished as the author described that mobilization as something "immense." #Iberoamérica #Trump #Política #US #MX #CO (translated)

Max Hübner accused Donald Tusk of hypocrisy and claimed that during his eight years in opposition, he sought to overthrow the PiS government with the support of foreign entities, which Hübner characterized as unfriendly to Poland. He accused him of blocking funds owed to Poland from the EU, exploiting the visa issue, Russian propaganda, and the situation at the Polish-Belarusian border to attack PiS. He also wrote that Tusk's people traveled to the USA, so that the Joe Biden administration would channel USAID funds to anti-government organizations that spread what he claimed were lies. Hübner accused Tusk of presenting himself as a defender of sovereignty despite such a policy. He claimed that Tusk used pressure from states unfriendly to Poland, acting in the interests of Germany and Russia, while PiS sought support from the friendly United States in exerting pressure on the government regarding security. Hübner argued that the USA was interested in a strong Poland and accused critics of failing to see the difference between pressure from an ally and interference in the elections of states with interests conflicting with Poland. https://t.co/frVnKAEHtL #Polska #polityka #PiS (translated)
Jan Molski criticized the declaration that neither allies nor enemies should decide who rules in Poland. He wrote that under the government of PiS, Poland was pressured by cutting it off from European funds and directing USAID resources to leftist organizations. He called this hypocrisy and cynicism. https://t.co/cNdoUqycKn #Polska #Polityka #Hyypokryzja (translated)

The author wrote that it was necessary to clarify the influence on the elections in Poland in 2023, instead of dealing with rumors.

Agustín Romo recalled that some critics had mocked those who followed the election of Donald Trump in the United States, considering it unimportant. He stated that, after Trump's victory in 2024 and the elimination of USAID, the agency through which the United States funded programs abroad, the left lost in Costa Rica in February 2025, Ecuador in April 2025, Bolivia in October 2025, Honduras in November 2025, Chile in December 2025, Peru in June 2026, and Colombia in June 2026. Romo concluded that those who presented themselves as anti-imperialists were employees. #Trump2024 #Elecciones #Política (translated)

Eu acho que essa avaliação cai no mesmo erro que os bolsonaristas sempre apontaram nos ex-apoiadores do Bolsonaro na época: não adiantava a equipe jurídica de Bolsonaro processar, porque o judiciário estava todo aparelhado. Hoje, temos um respiro, mas na época não. Contexto da época importa. O próprio Bolsonaro falava que não adiantava processar. Junte isso a toda imprensa, outras instituições nacionais e órgãos internacionais como a USAID. #Bolsonaro #Justiça #Política

Eu sei, tá todo mundo falando do Moraes. Menos o Lula. O presidente segue em silencio absoluto desde ontem, quando o Jornal Nacional exibiu mais de 30 minutos da crise que expõe as vísceras de como o Banco Master é coisa do PT e do Moraes. Mas eu tenho um alerta importante a fazer aqui para vocês. Os petistas perderam apoio internacional da USAID e, neste ciclo eleitoral, não teremos os Vingadores e nem Hollywood na campanha presidencial do Lula. Porém eles sempre encontram um jeito de inovar para fazer a captura dos votos do eleitorado jovem, principalmente os iniciantes de urna: jovens de 16 e 17 anos que ainda não atingiram sua maioridade. Lula promoveu no Planalto neste dia 31/08, um evento para regulamentação de venda de ingressos em shows, impor regra contra cambistas e impor fim às filas nas portas dos recintos onde os jovens as vezes passam dias esperando o show começar. Pois bem. Neste evento além de convidar a turma da Máfia do Dendê, convidou “diretores” de fã clube dos artistas internacionais aqui no Brasil. Jovens que em sua maioria usam o X para defender e propagar a imagem dos seus artistas prediletos. São extremamente organizados. Um detalhe importante, é que em época de BBB, estes mesmos perfis são atuantes nas discussões políticas da “casa mais vigiada” do Brasil. Eles não dormem no ponto, e “farão” o diabo pra vencer essas eleições. #Lula #Política #Eleições2024
