Abelardo De La Espriella stated that the Army and the Police captured Diana Milena Agudelo Salazar, alias “La Morocha,” along with two members of her security team in Cartagena del Chairá, Caquetá, and seized a pistol and a shotgun. He pointed out that she was the leader of the Rodrigo Cadete structure, which he described as narcoterrorist, and said that her role was to raise criminal resources and pressure the civilian population. He added that she had three arrest warrants for aggravated conspiracy to commit a crime and offenses related to weapons, ammunition, and explosives. De La Espriella also attributed to her forced recruitment of minors, drug trafficking, extortion, murder, kidnapping, and forced displacement. He maintained that she had promoted the expansion of illicit crops and the displacement of six people, five of them minors, who were later rescued by the Army. He described the capture as a blow to the command and finances of the structure, congratulated the military and police, and called for the pursuit of the other members. #Narcotráfico #Seguridad #Justicia (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that some airlines intended to apply the U.S. OFAC law in Colombia due to his ties with Colombian individuals. He asserted that this legislation did not apply in Colombian territory and that for it to do so, the country would need to change its Constitution through a Constituent Assembly. Petro said that OFAC had stopped focusing on drug traffickers and that, according to him, people opposed to the genocide in Gaza were included on its lists. He claimed that he was sanctioned for his speech before the UN and for asking for the formation of a United Nations army to defend Gaza, which would include the Colombian battalion deployed in Sinai to protect Palestinian children. He also accused the DEA of spending a year searching for and fabricating evidence regarding alleged links of his with drug trafficking. He said that drug traffickers whom he himself extradited, and who he claimed wanted to kill him, were the ones who believed those accusations. He maintained that Colombian drug trafficking had political influence, but that it was not found in progressivism, which, according to him, the narcos had pursued and attacked. Petro accused drug trafficking of supporting extreme right-wing ideas and stated that Colombian drug traffickers had access to the White House while poor farmers and people transporting small amounts of drugs through the Caribbean were being pursued. He added that drug traffickers with judicial agreements in the United States were moving shipments in submarines and had fleets of planes, and asserted that cocaine traveled in containers from companies of presidents who met with Donald Trump. Finally, Petro claimed that alias Fito contradicted journalist Vicky by saying he did not know him and that, instead, he was a friend and partner of the person who accused him. #Colombia #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaSocial (translated)

Gustavo Petro defended the pension reform and denied that his government had bought support to approve it. He said that the House of Representatives backed it widely and that the then President of the Senate, Iván Name, delayed the debate for eight months so that it would fail due to lack of time. He also accused Magistrate Ibáñez of keeping it frozen for two years in the Constitutional Court, although he pointed out that the reform had already passed that stage. According to Petro, millions of elderly people, many of them from the right, could receive a pension thanks to the law. Regarding the allegations related to the UNGRD, Petro asked the Pacto Histórico bench to commission a forensic audit of the entire existence of the entity, since 2010, and to publish the names of those whom he claimed had embezzled it. He stated that only one person from the Pacto Histórico appeared on the extensive list, whom he said he had removed from the administration and whom, according to him, the party expelled. He also argued that justice should investigate whether Name had received public money through his romantic or political environment. Petro claimed that, during the first month of his government, resources were recovered that he attributed to Olmedo's group and that then the UNGRD was sidelined in the assistance to people trapped after an earthquake in the west of the country. Citing a journalistic investigation by Nueva Prensa, he stated that a private coordination center had been set up in the house of Gregory Schaller, whom he identified as Abelardo's compadre. He linked Andrés Depew, Negre — whom he described as a partner of Fernando Cerimedo — and people who, according to him, had ties to Donald Trump and businessman Dan Newlin to that place. Petro stated that Newlin had illegally lent his plane and resources during Abelardo's campaign. In the same publication, Petro mentioned businessman Yadid Jalaff, whom he said was accused of stealing Colombian-Venezuelan Monómeros, and Jorge Alberto Campillo Vélez, whom he described as one of Pablo Escobar's first pilots. He also pointed out pilot Luis Almeira Quiroz and linked him to a flight of paramilitaries from Urabá to San José del Guaviare, which, according to Petro, allowed the Mapiripán massacre, in which 50 farmers were murdered. He asked how much money had been raised to address the earthquake and if that explained why, according to him, the full operation of the UNGRD had been prevented and international aid and volunteers had been rejected. https://t.co/eiJJnl3Lxu #ReformaPensional #Justicia #Corrupción (translated)

Daniel F. Briceño argued that the budget cuts he pushed for the JEP were justified. He described the entity as wasteful and claimed that it worked for the perpetrators and was incapable of judging the main responsible parties for drug trafficking, kidnapping, terrorism, and human rights violations. He added that it deserved those and other cuts. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #Presupuesto (translated)

"I am going to declare, starting in January of next year, war on drug trafficking. I am going to classify the PCC, the Comando Vermelho, and the militias as narcoterrorist organizations. The criminal will stay in prison much longer, they will be isolated in one of the five new federal prisons that I am going to build, which will be called TREVA. This is to instill fear. Fear of walking the streets again, fear of bringing violence to so many people." Flávio plans to open 500,000 prison spots and construct five maximum-security federal prisons inspired by Bukele's prison model in El Salvador, named 'TREVA', which means 'darkness' in Portuguese." #Brasil #Bolsonaro #seguridad (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that those who had ruled Latin America for two centuries presented the replacement of brief periods of progressive and humanist governments as a change. He claimed that this stance reflected a contradiction of Donald Trump and that his allies in the region did not understand it. Petro said that Latin America was the most unequal region in the world and attributed inequality to drug trafficking, migration, and violence. He argued that reducing it was the remedy and that, in Latin American history, only progressive governments had achieved it, citing the Government of Life in Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Bolivia, Correa's Ecuador, and Uruguay. He also stated that Trump had accepted the proposal of Marco Rubio and had prioritized an agenda against progressivism over the fight against drug trafficking. He added that progressive ideas had been present since the birth of all American republics, including the United States. Petro warned that Trump's policies would increase social and economic inequality, drug trafficking, violence, and migration to the north. He also asserted that, for Latin American peoples whose elections, according to him, had been falsified by the direct interference of a foreign government, rebellion was the only recourse left. #AméricaLatina #Desigualdad #Progresismo (translated)
