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)

Erika Hilton reported that she submitted a request to create a Parliamentary Inquiry Commission on Big Techs, with the aim of investigating, according to her, abuses by companies like Meta, responsible for Instagram, during the elections. She stated that foreign companies would be manipulating algorithms to favor political positions and harm candidates, and said there would be indications of interference by foreign billionaires in Brazilian elections. Hilton pointed out that the voting could influence the end of the 6x1 scale, the continuity of Pix, Brazilian control over rare earths, and the rights of women and girls to their own image, their own bodies, and the vote. She claimed to be gathering the 171 signatures necessary for the request for the companies to be investigated, regardless of the ballot results. The deputy also defended Brazil's sovereignty and criticized what she described as abuses by foreign companies that monopolize the internet. In the end, she called for support for Lula on the 25th and accused a system of trying to enslave the population, seize the country's wealth, and colonize it. #CPI #BigTechs #Eleições2023 (translated)

Eduardo Bolsonaro stated that some people had exceeded the limits during the events of January 8, 2023, but he distinguished between holding those who committed crimes accountable and attributing participation in a coup d'état to all those involved. He said he had questioned the political use of those events and accused Lula, Moraes, and sectors of the establishment of turning them into a tool for political contention, while, according to him, the old system of political favors was regaining ground. Bolsonaro asserted that his family was outside that system and that is why they had denounced persecution, censorship, and attempts to discredit them. He added that they would continue to defend their convictions and demand that the facts be debated, with faith in God and respect for the truth. #Justicia #LibertadDeExpresión #DerechosHumanos (translated)
