Gustavo Petro stated that he removed Angie Rodríguez because, after her fight against narcoparamilitarism, she would not accept that the department of Cesar fell back into the hands of the heirs of the paramilitaries nor that the Dapre would become a clientele. He added that, although they could take revenge, as long as he was alive, he would not allow drug trafficking to take power and cause what he described as a "holocaust" against the Colombian people. Petro said he authorized anyone with evidence of his claims to file complaints with the justice system. He also urged women who, according to him, were being defamed to speak out and report, and called on a minister whose mother, he claimed, had been slandered by Angie to respond and file a complaint. He added that the person whom Angie would have defamed was the one who suggested that she become the secretary general after Laura. Petro concluded that he did not like gossip but would not tolerate what he called filth. #Colombia #Justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Alessandra Rojo de la Vega stated that the Cuauhtémoc Mayor's Office had not allocated and would not allocate money to finance violence, and said that she defended respect for collectives, although everyone must comply with the law. Regarding the events on Friday, she maintained that they had not been a protest but an action by an isolated group from the trans community that, according to her, came with the intention of exercising violence. She said that the members were welcomed and that a committee was formed to dialogue. She added that some demands — an investigation and the delivery of abandoned houses or land — corresponded to the Prosecutor's Office and the Government of Mexico City, respectively, and that her administration opposed these latter requests. Rojo de la Vega assured that for four hours, with the knowledge of the Citizen Security Secretariat (SSC), the group broke windows, set fire in the esplanade, and damaged security cameras. She claimed that SSC agents arrived minutes after the group left the mayor's office and suggested that they were previously busy repressing IMSS personnel who were protesting for decent salaries. She also accused a national secretary of promoting hate speech and spreading false information on social media. She claimed that she had attacked another senator from behind in the plenary session and criticized the treatment that, according to her, she offered to the searching mothers, whom she would neither receive nor listen to. The mayor described Cuauhtémoc as the most feminist municipality and stated that it was the only one out of the 16 with a shelter for victims of gender violence funded with its own resources. She said that her administration accompanied victims in filing complaints and that, thanks to Reacción Violeta, 54 attackers had received firm convictions. She added that more than 5,000 women had received psychological and legal attention, as well as training, and that during the first year of her government, femicides had decreased by 85%, according to Secretariat data. Finally, she questioned the national secretary about alleged corrupt contracts for her friends, supposed ties to drug trafficking, and the lack of attention to searching mothers. She also reproached her for remaining silent in the face of violence against medical and health personnel. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #ViolenciaDeGénero (translated)

Sánchez added that this official feared that the Supreme Court would protect the right of Spaniards to vote on equal terms against what he described as the adulteration of the electoral roll.
