Mario Frias questioned whether the press would give extensive coverage to what he described as a supposed attempted coup that occurred that day in São Paulo. He also asked whether the Armed Forces had been activated, whether those responsible had been identified, and whether the heads of the Powers had expressed themselves in defense of democracy. Frias further asked who would pay for the damage to public property and whether the president was in the United States or at the location of the events. He questioned whether the criteria would be applied equally to everyone and whether democracy would have a side. #Democracia #GolpeDeEstado #Mídia (translated)

Nayib Bukele stated that Latinobarómetro had maintained a hostile editorial line towards his government, although its measurements historically enjoyed prestige and, according to him, were based on data and not on ideological narratives. Bukele pointed out that El Salvador had ranked first in 19 of the 20 indicators of the survey for Latin America, related to security, trust in institutions, state efficiency, and public services. He added that, in the remaining indicator, the Presidency of the Republic was the institution that generated the most trust among Salvadorans, something that, he said, only happened in El Salvador. He ironically referred to those who labeled the country a dictatorship despite these results. #ElSalvador #ConfianzaInstitucional #SeguridadLatinoamericana (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that images from an assembly at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba showed speeches against Flávio Bolsonaro and in defense of Lula's reelection. She said that organizations had announced more than 40 acts at universities across the country and criticized statements that, according to her, advocated for the radicalization of activism and referenced the kidnapping of an ambassador during the dictatorship. Michelin recalled that American ambassador Charles Burke Elbrick was kidnapped in 1969 by members of the ALN and MR-8, and not by the National Union of Students (UNE). She also classified predictions about a potential victory of Flávio Bolsonaro as false and alarmist, stating that the remarks about loss of rights and threats to democracy did not present concrete measures to support them. She mentioned that she did not question the right of students to protest or support candidates but criticized speeches that, in her view, replaced arguments with slogans and romanticized armed struggle. Michelin advocated for universities to shape professionals, researchers, and free citizens and stated that glorifying guerrilla practices and treating opponents as enemies denied democracy. #Educação #Democracia #Política (translated)
