On June 8, 2025, Díaz-Balart addressed an incident he described as an attack on democracy. He stated, “This is an attack on democracy and those who did this must be held accountable.”
The following day, June 9, 2025, he expressed his pleasure in meeting with individuals committed to community service. He tweeted in Spanish: “Siempre un placer poder reunirme con estos gran patriotas que luchan incansablemente por nuestra comunidad.” The tweet mentioned @LosPichyBoys.
On June 10, 2025, Díaz-Balart commented on the political situation in Colombia. He remarked that it was “unfortunate and troubling that the Colombian government appears to be reverting toward a quasi-failed state,” which could jeopardize the U.S.-Colombia relationship that has contributed significantly to peace and prosperity.
