Evo Morales claims Milei and Bolsonaro for “proclaiming” candidates from abroad

The former president of Bolivia and leader of the ruling party Evo Morales claimed on Monday the president of Argentina, Javier Milei, and the former president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro for having “proclaimed” the opposition businessman and former minister Branko Marinkovic as a candidate for the presidency of Bolivia in the national elections of 2025.

“How can Milei and Bolsonaro proclaim candidates from Brazil? How can they comment on the reality of Bolivians if they do not know the sacrifice of their people?” Morales questioned through his social networks.

“Imposing candidates from abroad the only thing he manages is to show that they continue to function with colonial practices, imposing their interests above the will of the Bolivians,” he added in his first publication.

Marinkovic is a businessman, he was Minister of Economy and Public Finance of the transitional Government of Jeanine Añez (2019-2020) and previously held the position of president of the Pro Santa Cruz Civic Committee, always an opponent of the governments of the ruling Movement To Socialism (MAS).

The former civic leader participated over the weekend in the first Political Conference of Conservative Action (CPAC) in Balneario Camboriú, in the south of Brazil.

“If we get to the Presidency, the first thing we are going to do is to free all political prisoners, because that cannot exist in democracy,” Marinkovic said, during his presentation as a candidate, an event in which Milei and Bolsonaro also participated.

Morales’ reaction was not long in coming. “We have deep and insurmountable ideological and political differences with the Milei and Bolsonaros of the world. They don’t have a homeland, they just want to fill the pockets of transnational companies (…),” former President Morales said in a second publication he made.

And then he said that both Milei and Bolsonaro “want to hand over their countries and their resources to foreign capital. They are not interested in combating poverty or inequality.”

“We come and we are faithful to the struggle of our peoples. We will defend our peoples, our natural resources and the Great Homeland. We are anti-imperialists,” Morales concluded.

Senator Van Hollen Meets with Deported MS-13 Member in El Salvador; Trump and Bukele React

U.S. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, representing the state of Maryland, held a meeting in El Salvador with deported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Ábrego García, a member of the criminal group classified by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization.

“Kilmar Ábrego García, miraculously resurrected from the ‘extermination camps’ and ‘torture chambers,’ now sipping margaritas with Senator Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!” wrote President Nayib Bukeleon X (formerly Twitter), sharing photos of Van Hollen, Ábrego García, and a lawyer sitting together at a Salvadoran hotel.

The deported gang member is seen wearing a plaid shirt and a flat-brimmed cap, seated at a table with glasses and coffee cups. The senator also shared images of the meeting on his own social media accounts.

Bukele reaffirmed that Ábrego will remain in El Salvador and will not be returned to the United States.

“Now that his health has been confirmed, he has earned the honor of remaining under the custody of El Salvador,” Bukele added.

Pope Francis Appears for Easter Blessing, Calls for Peace and Religious Freedom

Pope Francis, still recovering from pneumonia, appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on Easter Sunday and, with a faint voice, wished a “Happy Easter” to the thousands of faithful gathered to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.

A month after being discharged from a lengthy hospital stay, the presence of the 88-year-old pontiff had remained uncertain, with the Vatican not confirming his attendance ahead of time.

Eventually, the pope made a brief appearance in a wheelchair shortly after 12:00 p.m. (10:00 GMT) to deliver his traditional “Urbi et Orbi” blessing (“to the city and to the world”).

Although no longer wearing an oxygen cannula, the Argentine Jesuit relied on a close aide to read his Easter message, which touched on major global conflicts.

Francis condemned the “dramatic and unworthy humanitarian crisis” in Gaza and called for a ceasefire, while also expressing concern over the “growing climate of antisemitism spreading across the globe.”

He further emphasized the importance of religious freedom and freedom of thought, stating that without mutual respect, “peace is not possible.”

Thousands rally nationwide against Trump’s threat to U.S. democracy

Thousands of protesters gathered on Saturday (April 19, 2025) in major cities like New York and Washington, as well as in small communities across the United States, in a second wave of demonstrations against President Donald Trump. The crowds denounced what they view as growing threats to the country’s democratic ideals.

In New York City, demonstrators of all ages rallied in front of the Public Library near Trump Tower, holding signs accusing the president of undermining democratic institutions and judicial independence.

Many protesters also criticized Trump’s hardline immigration policies, including mass deportations and raids targeting undocumented migrants.

“Democracy is in grave danger,” said Kathy Valyi, 73, the daughter of Holocaust survivors. She told AFP that the stories her parents shared about Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1930s Germany “are happening here now.”

In Washington, demonstrators voiced concern over what they see as Trump’s disregard for long-standing constitutional norms, such as the right to due process.
