Gustavo Petro stated that congressmen from the Historical Pact had detected a formal defect in the budget, which was at risk of sinking.

Sebastián Nohra stated that the resistance of the congress members to cede resources in the budget debate foreshadowed more difficulties when the tax cut law arrived. He added that, if they did not give the Minister of Finance tools to manage the accounts, a major crisis would occur, and he maintained that the legislators had not understood the situation. #Presupuesto #CrisisEconómica #Congreso (translated)

The Republican Party has withdrawn funding for its candidates in Iowa, New Jersey, Ohio, and Michigan, reallocating nearly ten million dollars to strengthen the re-election of congress members in other states, as losses are anticipated due to a Democratic resurgence in the November legislative elections. #CampañaElectoral #PartidoRepublicano #Elecciones2026 (translated)

Rodrigo Lara reported that he had filed a reform against the so-called "mermelada," which he described as the assignment of regional projects without transparency about who requested them, why they were approved, or what was obtained in return. The author argued that congress members should be able to manage investments for their regions, but proposed that each project they presented be recorded in a public registry. He also suggested distinguishing between conflicts of interest: one, he said, would occur when the congress member, their family, or their partners received a particular benefit; another would correspond to the public representation of the legitimate interests of a region or sector. Lara noted that congress members should transparently declare their ties with sectors that financed their campaigns and stated that the reform would allow for the regulation of lobbying in Colombia. He added that, in his view, the lack of a law on the matter was due to congress members' fear of losing their position for listening to and processing sectoral interests. He also maintained that under the current government, everything was done openly and called for all management to be declared and made known. #LeyAntiMermelada #Reforma #Transparencia #Desarrollo (translated)

Germán Rodríguez stated that several congresswomen insulted and defamed him during a public hearing, which, he said, harmed his honor and good name.

Orlando Avendaño described María Elvira Salazar as a constant ally of the Venezuelan cause and said that her defense of freedom in Venezuela had led her to take on disputes in Congress. He stated that Salazar and other congressmen had kept the Venezuelan issue in the legislative debate, especially in previous years, before Venezuela became a priority for the United States. Avendaño also highlighted Salazar's and other Republicans' pressure to revoke Chevron's license, in relation to the capture of Maduro and, more recently, to the democratization of Venezuela. He urged Venezuelans to support their allies and said that Salazar must win in November. He wrote that a free Venezuela would be the best immigration policy. #VenezuelaLibre #ApoyoALíderes #DemocraciaVenezolana (translated)

Carolina Restrepo Cañavera stated that she was neither a community mother nor a social worker, although she said she deeply respected those who carried out those roles. She asserted that the ICBF also required financial, administrative, and contractual management to handle a budget of 12 trillion pesos. Restrepo said that congress members had submitted numerous petitions and questioned her experience. She assured that she knew how to review financial statements and contracts and monitor spending, and she warned that she would not allow the misappropriation of resources from the budget allocated for children. #ICBF #Presupuesto #Contratación (translated)

Daniel F. Briceño stated that the country had ended up owing Timochenko, despite what he wrote about spending billions of pesos from taxes on luxuries, trips, SUVs, and escorts. He also argued that people accused of crimes and without votes were equated with elected congressmen, that victims were belittled, and that no money or property was given nor was there any reparations for those affected. He added that the responsible parties did not go to prison, continued to enjoy luxuries, and now pretended to give moral lessons and make demands. #Corrupción #Impuestos #Justicia (translated)

Vicky Dávila stated that SEMANA had started in 2024 to document what was happening in the DNI, the UIAF, and the DIAN, and argued that under the government of President Abelardo de la Espriella, several indications were confirmed. She added that, according to sources, during Gustavo Petro's government, communications of former President Álvaro Uribe, then Attorney General Francisco Barbosa, Deputy Attorney General Martha Mancera, and the prosecutor Margarita Cabello Blanco were being intercepted. She also pointed out as potential targets the congressmen and candidates Miguel Uribe, María Fernanda Cabal, and Paloma Valencia, as well as the lawyer and columnist Ramiro Bejarano and some critical journalists. #AlertaEnLaDNI https://t.co/PG9ydJsxRS #Colombia #Política #Corrupción (translated)

I want to tell you that Caracol Radio had to cancel a debate on the discussion of abortion because they failed to get congress members or organizations to participate against me in the debate. They say it's with arguments, but they flee from the debate under the slogan: "women's rights are not debated." But in reality, it is the way they impose a vision of such a complex discussion as abortion and the lack of protection for the unborn and the pregnant mother. What happened yesterday, far from being violent (among other things because it was just one among all of them), was a claim. Not only a claim for life but a claim to have the debate exactly where it should take place, which is in the Congress of the Republic. To reclaim the legitimate right I have to be in this space to express something: They cannot speak in my name, nor in the name of the women I represent; not all women promote and defend abortion. In fact, some question it, and I wish they would take the time to listen to those of us who were on that side and today defend life, but especially to those who voluntarily had abortions and now regret it. Being pro-life is not just anti-abortion; being pro-life is a whole worldview, a structural reading of our society. How is motherhood? How is the quality of life? Does insecurity and violence influence decisions like being a mom or not? What happens with the adoption system? What alternatives exist so a woman does not have to resort to abortion? How do we improve the economic capacity of families to care for their children? How do we solve the family crisis? How do we make our country a place that prefers to give life rather than end it? How do we protect childhood from all threats to their life, freedom, and integrity? This needs to be talked about, and we should not shy away from the debate. If they set aside their prejudices, they would realize that questioning abortion is legitimate. #DerechosHumanos #Aborto #Vida (translated)

Datos tenebrosos. - A los individuos de las FARC que ocuparon curules del Congreso de la República, les pagamos más de $5.600 millones ($5.600´000.00) a cada uno, entre 2018 y 2026. - Además, tuvieron a su servicio las UTL que nos costaron más de $14 mil millones ($14.000´000.000) en esos 8 años y sus respectivas oficinas, por cada uno de ellos. Les dimos miles de tiquetes aéreos, carros blindados y centenares de escoltas. - Todo eso lo multiplicamos por las 10 curules gratis que tuvieron, es decir recibieron $56 mil millones en cifras redondas los 10 congresistas; y nos costaron $140 mil millones sus 10 equipos de UTL. Sin contar tiquetes, carros blindados, oficinas y escoltas. - Y sin embargo, nos tocó pagarles más de $40 mil millones ($40.000´000.000) a sus abogados defensores ante la @JEP_Colombia Pobres viejecitos. #Colombia #FARC #Congreso
