BrennpunktUA reported that a well-informed source from the Union informed him that at the CDU Presidium retreat on October 11, there are plans to put Friedrich Merz under pressure also because of his support for Ukraine. Unlike earlier initiatives from East German state associations, there is strong backing from the South and support from the West of Germany this time. According to the source, there is a catalog of several demands that should be implemented in a short time. Otherwise, Merz could lose support, which according to BrennpunktUA could mean the end of his chancellorship. At least two of the demands aim to move away from Merz's previous Ukraine policy. BrennpunktUA warned that Merz's downfall would significantly worsen the situation for people in Ukraine. The chancellor is now under pressure not only from parties on the left and right margins and a faction in the SPD that he labeled as pro-Moscow but possibly also from within the Union starting this weekend. He called on supporters of Ukraine to use the information at their discretion and said it should be kept in mind when making public statements about Merz. #CDU #Ukraine #Politik (translated)

Marco Setaccioli recalled that, twenty years earlier, Anna Politkovskaya had been shot and killed in the hallway of her home in Moscow. He claimed that Vladimir Putin had ordered her elimination on the day of his birthday and described her as a journalist, activist, and opponent who had denounced the crimes of the regime and the restrictions on freedoms. Setaccioli also cited a passage from *Putin's Russia* in which Politkovskaya attributed the responsibility for what was happening to the apathy and weak reactions of those who opposed Putin, arguing that they contributed to ensuring his impunity. He urged readers to compare the words of the journalist with those of politicians who, in his view, were ready to trade security for votes and claimed that Putin's Russia was not a danger. He urged them to ask themselves whether, with their "cowardice," they honored the memory of Politkovskaya or legitimized the world of violence, oppression, and death that, according to him, her murderer was building. #Putin #Apathy #Freedom (translated)

Łukasz Warzecha wrote that the women from the current coalition were supposed to compromise themselves. Addressing one of them, he stated that a person with experience with a weapon would hold their elbow differently, and for placing a pistol with the safety on the table, one could be removed from the shooting range. He called for an end to what he described as a display of embarrassment. #kobiety #polityka #strażnicy (translated)

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 defended a proposal to desalinate seawater and pump it to Santa Marta from the north of the city using solar energy and batteries. He said that the supply would complement the water arriving by gravity from the Sierra Nevada, which, according to him, was no longer sufficient, and accused Abelardo of opposing the project as a megadrought was approaching. He also claimed that the proposal would bring drinking water to the northern Caribbean coast and questioned why the project was destroyed just as the installation was about to begin, without proposing an alternative. Petro compared Abelardo to Peñalosa and stated that the latter had replaced an underground metro with an elevated one, which, as he wrote, did not reduce average travel times and cost USD 7 billion to the Colombian people. He added that Bogotá had lost 12 years and continued to suffer from traffic jams, linking the project to the devaluation of developments in the northern savannah. In addition, he questioned the Sierra Azul mining concession, which, according to Petro, would extract copper and silver for Abelardo's foreign allies and affect the water of the Rancherías river and lands intended for food production. He argued that the priority should be to invest in drinking water for the northern Caribbean and accused Abelardo of depriving Santa Marta of water while he had never lacked it in his home in Florida, where Petro also associated him with Marcos and people he described as drug traffickers. He concluded by labeling those responsible as "professional scammers." #AguaPotable #SantaMarta #Desalinizacion (translated)
