We are going to win this match because this country deserves it, because the people deserve it, because it is worth fighting for more rights and more freedoms, because we are going to defend Euskal Herria: on November 11 in the general strike, on the 14th in the streets of Bilbao, and on the 29th at the polls. After assessing the importance of the "strength" of social movements, Aipurua emphasized the need for a "push" so that they are not "blocked." #EHbildu #elecciones2023 #derechosylibertades (translated)

Regina Laska criticized that Michail Swintschuk, despite his inclusion on the EU sanctions list in June 2023, apparently managed to travel from Germany to Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to Bosnian media, the founder of the Russian propaganda channel Rybar flew from Memmingen Airport to Sarajevo on October 2. The Bosnian portal Detector reported that he had been arrested a few days later in Montenegro and expelled for reasons of national security. During the arrest, the police seized high-resolution cameras, a drone, and several cell phones; it was unclear whether Swintschuk had these with him in Memmingen. Laska pointed out that, according to her account, Swintschuk is subject to an EU entry ban and is not allowed to enter or transit EU territory. Since a flight from Memmingen to Sarajevo leads over a Schengen external border, she asked how Swintschuk got to Germany, who issued him a visa, and whether his sanctioning had been recognized upon departure. According to Laska, there has been no confirmation of the trip by German authorities so far. She contrasted border controls at Memmingen Airport with those ordered by Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) at the Austrian border. There, small cars are searched for refugees, whereas Swintschuk, according to her account, departed from the airport. She also pointed out that the Bavarian border police, which conducts checks at the airport, was established in 2018 by Markus Söder. Laska expressed outrage over what Russian nationals are still allowed to do in Germany and ironically asked whether RT chief Margarita Simonjan could soon book a wellness vacation in Garmisch. #EUSanktionen #Russland #Einreiseverbot (translated)

“One should not obsess over the absolutist approach: the right never had more than 190 seats, despite what some polls claimed.” The small gain of four seats that they refer to in the PP to bolster their confidence in victory is expressed differently by Iván Redondo: 40,000 votes distributed among Catalonia, Euskadi, and Navarra. #EleccionesGenerales #PedroSánchez #PartidoPopular (translated)

Edward Nordén used derogatory language about those involved in something he said had happened in Brussels the day before.

The spokesperson for Adelante Andalucía, José Ignacio García, defends his party's decision to run alone in the general elections, arguing the need for a different left that represents the working class of Andalusia, and questions why this stance is criticized in Andalusia and not in other communities like Catalonia, the Basque Country, or Galicia. #AdelanteAndalucía #EleccionesGenerales #IzquierdaAndaluza (translated)

Basque nationalism has always been opaque. The PNV has never distinguished between its interests, those of the Basque government, or the interests of that thing called Euskadi.

Leandro Ruschel stated that, while the right celebrated Sunday’s results, the regime continued to act. According to him, ministers had granted semi-open regime to Débora, who was still serving her sentence at home, archived one of the inquiries against Allan dos Santos and Oswaldo Eustáquio, and closed a complaint that he classified as false against Flávio’s vice. Ruschel said that the authorities had retreated from actions to interfere in the elections as they believed these actions strengthened the right, but now they would act in a less visible manner. As an example, he stated that Moraes had received on Tuesday, at the Supreme Court and outside the agenda, the director-general of the Federal Police and the intelligence chief. According to Ruschel, Andrei, mentioned in Vorcaro's messages, was among them. He also stated that the two had been removed by Mendonça and reinstated by Dino, and that they supervised the dossier used by Moraes against the colleague who was investigating him. The agenda of the meeting was said to have been a “routine meeting.” Ruschel argued that the Federal Police was subordinated to the Executive and that, if the president remained in the Planalto, the Congress elected on Sunday could be neutralized by the Supreme Court and the Federal Police, which, according to him, could become a political police. He compared the scenario to Venezuela and concluded that, after the voters' manifestation at the polls on Sunday, the regime would have responded behind closed doors on Tuesday. #politica #direita #Brasil (translated)

Emmanuel Ruimy criticized students from the 6th arrondissement whom he accused of presenting themselves as spokespeople for high school students. He described the blockades as an extracurricular activity for young people who, in his view, could rely on their parents' support: private tutoring at 80 euros an hour if their school closed for three weeks, private prep if the baccalaureate didn’t open doors for them, or an internship with a family friend if the job market closed off. He estimated that the bourgeoisie lent their radicalism to less privileged youth while leaving them to bear the consequences, and he said that this appropriation particularly disgusted him. #Éducation #Révolution #Bourgeoisie (translated)
