Jones Manoel

Jones Manoel stated that 14 young people from Gravatá, in the interior of Pernambuco, were detained on Saturday (October 10) after a lambe activity in the streets, and that there was an attempt to frame the case as electoral crime. He said that the activists were denouncing actions by Flávio Bolsonaro and disputed the accusations of disseminating false news, stating that the material had journalistic foundation. Manoel described lambe-lambe as a historical form of popular communication used by social movements, artists, and political organizations to bring ideas and denunciations to the streets. He argued that any issues regarding heritage, property, or the use of public space should be addressed through legal means, without intimidation or selective criminalization. The author also stated that the actions of the activists were being treated as a police case, while other forms of advertising occupied the streets, and attributed to Bolsonaro's supporters a systematic strategy of intimidation to block the political change he advocated. #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Militância #LambeLambe (translated)

Jones Manoel announced the publication of a new video on his channel, in which he said he would discuss the strategy he considered most suitable for winning votes in the second round. He stated that he believed this approach would increase President Lula's chances of winning the election. #Eleições2023 #Lula #VídeoNovo (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that re-elected deputies already had teams that could produce digital communication in support of Lula while they rested, even without going out to the streets. He said that this was not restricted to Eduardo Paes and mentioned the social networks of Tabata Amaral and the elected or re-elected progressive deputies in Pernambuco. He also said that, throughout the first round, he criticized those who attacked UP, PSTU, and PCB, and claimed that in the second round, the activists were the ones campaigning, while members of the "broad front" would be drinking expensive wine on a beach. #Política #Eleições2023 #ComunicaçãoDigital (translated)

Jones Manoel said that he was at the Trombone Battle the day before and congratulated the organizers, especially Maria Dinda. He defended mobilization in the second round to defeat Flávio Bolsonaro and reelect Lula. Manoel stated that Flávio Bolsonaro was against rap battles, hip-hop culture, and the black population, and said that a government of his would increase repression and persecution of culture. The author added that, although rap was not partisan, it had a political side connected to the working class, the black population, and popular organization, and he advocated voting for Lula.

Jones Manoel stated that crowds took to the streets and mobilized on social media, contradicting, in his assessment, the idea that it would be difficult to mobilize majorities. He said that Bolsonaro's administration proposed radical cuts to public services but then backed down, and he assessed that Lula could do more to win back those who were disappointed with the government. https://t.co/SNrooxpuNR #Mobilização #Política #Liderança (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the Military Police were called to respond to a suicide attempt and fired 27 times at the young man, causing his death. He classified the corporation as a machine of death and violence and rejected the notion that the incident was a result of unpreparedness. According to Manoel, the responsible officers knew they would be protected by the corporation, the Legislative Assembly, and the state government. #violência #justiça #direitoshumanos (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that rap and hip-hop would always stand by the people and said that the battles and hip-hop culture of Pernambuco had a federal deputy. He argued that political power should be taken by the Black population, the working class, and rap, and called on supporters to defeat Flávio Bolsonaro and reelect Lula. He invited the public to a mobilization on Sunday at 2 PM in Parque 13 de Maio, in Recife. #HipHop #Rap #LutaPelaLiberdade (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that Bolsonaro's supporters expected that the advantage in the first round and the attacks and threats against universities recorded in recent days would intimidate their opponents.

Jones Manoel stated that Flávio Bolsonaro was contrary to the interests of retirees and beneficiaries of the BPC. Commenting on a news article published by UOL, he said that emails obtained by the Federal Police indicated that an account identified as belonging to Flávio was linked to the same "master user" associated with lawyer Willer Tomaz, investigated for suspected money laundering related to the scheme of undue discounts on INSS. Manoel defended that the case should be clarified rigorously and stated that Flávio threatened to make cuts if elected president. According to him, retirees and beneficiaries of the BPC would be in the senator's crosshairs. He also said that Brazil should not return to misery. #INSS #Aposentadoria #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Jones Manoel explained that he used to respond to the messages received on Instagram, which averaged between 800 to 1,000 per day. According to him, since October 3rd, the average had exceeded 8,000 daily messages and, since Sunday, his account had gained more than 300,000 followers. He stated that although he had been elected as a deputy, he would only take office in February and was no longer counting on a team to assist him. He mentioned that the team was funded by donations and resources from the PSOL's electoral fund. Manoel also reported that he had not had a day of rest since the first round and that he was dedicated to the campaign for Lula's victory. He claimed that since the beginning of September, he had not been able to sleep six hours a day. According to him, he could not reorganize his response to the messages at that moment, but he would continue responding and could only plan how to do so after the second round. He asked for patience and understanding and said he was doing his best, at his physical limit. #Deputado #Campanha #Lula (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that Flávio Bolsonaro would attack social programs, cut the BPC and Bolsa Família, and increase the retirement age for workers. He also said that Bolsonaro was opposed to ending the 6x1 work schedule, advocated for the 7x0 schedule, and would abolish the SUS and public universities. Manoel further alleged that Minister André Mendonça was ordering the removal of videos about these statements and asked that censorship not prevent their circulation. #Censura #LiberdadeDeExpressão #PolíticaBR (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that, from the beginning of the election, he advocated placing urban mobility at the center of the debate. He pointed to zero fare and the expansion of the metro-rail system as drivers of a deep urban reform that, according to him, could overcome urban chaos and the difficulties of living in large cities. #MobilidadeUrbana #TarifaZero #ReformaUrbana (translated)

Jones Manoel shared a link to a list of mobilizations planned for that day and the following days. He asked people to spread the activities, participate in them, and send other actions to be promoted on his networks in the comments. https://t.co/yNVU1iJuiW #Mobilização #Ativismo #Solidariedade (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the Bolsonaro family wanted to return to power after, according to him, running a government marked by corruption, privatizations, attacks on labor rights, and genocide during the pandemic. He said that Flávio Bolsonaro was trying to present himself as an alternative despite the history attributed to him of kickbacks, alliances with militia members, and the handing over of Brazilian wealth, including rare earths, to the United States. Manoel defended confronting bolsonarism, national sovereignty, and the centrality of the working class in political struggle. #ForaBolsonaro #Bolsonarismo #SoberaniaNacional (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the Brazilian far-right was attacking Deputy Ana Elisa with lies and defamation for criticizing Flávio Bolsonaro's program. According to him, Bolsonaro advocated for ending retirement and the BPC, interrupting the appreciation of the minimum wage, altering the constitutional floor for health and education, and raising the prices of gasoline, electricity, and water. Manoel classified the program as a cause of death, misery, hunger, unemployment, and national destruction. He also said that those responsible would try to legally prevent the circulation of the video and requested that it be viewed before being taken down. #AnaElisa #DireitosHumanos #Justiça (translated)
