Juanca stated that the person he was referring to had turned his people into a world power and an empire "where the sun never sets." In contrast, he complained about Latin American people on the subway and used a derogatory term to refer to them; he described them playing an indigenous flute, speaking loudly, and talking on the phone with their mother. He concluded by asking whether that person was a hero or a villain. https://t.co/TLi4JBCoFE #Historia #Cultura #Sociedad (translated)

Kriska Carvalho stated that, in her assessment, the situation could be worse than during the dictatorship. She said that, during that period, Petrobras and the forests were not handed over, and attributed to the political project in question the intention to privatize everything, resume deforestation, and provoke more severe climate events. She also warned of the possibility of losing Petrobras and new impacts on indigenous peoples, which, according to her, would represent an irreversible setback. Carvalho said that chaos was approaching if it was not possible to reverse the scenario and elect President Lula. #Lula #Desmatamento #PovosIndígenas (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that Bolivia had become a dictatorship and accused its authorities of detaining the Attorney General and his replacement to prevent an investigation. According to Petro, this inquiry aimed to clarify alleged links between disinformation campaigns during Latin American elections and the U.S. State Department and the White House. He also accused the Bolivian president and his circle of persecuting former president Luis Arce and indigenous leader Evo Morales, repressing protests, and violating the Constitution. He attributed ties to drug trafficking and fascism to the president and claimed that he had attempted to kill his pregnant girlfriend. Furthermore, he asserted that a network of fake profiles, allegedly funded by Jeffrey Epstein and Netanyahu, promoted presidents he described as subservient and sought to harm economies and facilitate the appropriation of natural resources. Petro urged U.S. President Donald Trump to open a dialogue between the United States and Latin America based on democracy and freedom and warned that the imposition strategy he attributed to Marco Rubio could lead to violence. He also called on Latin American progressive movements to defend Lula in Portuguese against what he described as bot farms, and summoned activists and former members of artificial intelligence companies to develop digital tools against disinformation and fear. #Bolivia #Dictadura #Latinoamérica (translated)

Nuevo escándalo del Gobierno Petro, ahora con paneles solares en casas deshabitadas en La Guajira. ¿Se repite un caso como el de la UNGRD? SEMANA recorrió comunidades incluidas en el proyecto fotovoltaico de MinMinas. Encontró obras sin iniciar, equipos averiados y paneles instalados en casas deshabitadas. El polémico convenio interadministrativo entre el Ministerio de Minas y Dispac, empresa distribuidora de energía del Chocó, en el que figuran contratistas vinculados con compañías salpicadas por el escándalo de Centros Poblados y hasta personas cercanas a la senadora Martha Peralta, prometía llevar energía solar a más de 10.000 viviendas de zonas vulnerables de La Guajira. Sin embargo, pese a que se trata de un proyecto de más de 300.000 millones de pesos, en numerosas comunidades las obras no han comenzado ni han llegado los materiales. SEMANA recorrió comunidades indígenas de Maicao y Albania, y encontró censos repetidos, entregas parciales, sistemas recién instalados con fallas e instalaciones en casas deshabitadas, mientras decenas de familias continúan esperando una solución energética. En el territorio, los habitantes de las comunidades sobreviven a oscuras, incomunicados y, en varios casos, ni siquiera se han acercado a avisarles cuándo podrían obtener sus paneles solares. #LaGuajira #EnergíaSolar #GobiernoPetro
