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)

Javier Tebas Medrano said that the CSD was studying taking action on its own regarding some of his statements and requested that, before doing so, the complete text be read and precedents reviewed. He explained that he had criticized communication methods that he related to propaganda techniques used by Goebbels, but he had expressly excluded any ideological comparisons and any reference to the Madridista fanbase. As a precedent, Tebas recalled that Florentino Pérez stated on May 12, 2026, that he could have won 14 more leagues and that they had been robbed from him, and that, when talking about the Negreira case, he said that they were still the same referees. According to Tebas, those statements were published on Real Madrid's website and the referees had denounced them. He also noted that AS published on September 21 that the instructor proposed archiving the federal file for considering freedom of expression. Tebas asked what criterion was applied to some statements and not to others, and insisted that, although the channels and responsibilities could be different, institutional coherence should be required. He requested that the criteria be explained and applied independently, and asserted that freedom of expression should not depend on the surname of the speaker. #LibertadDeExpresión #Deportes #CSD (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)
