Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas criticized the PT and the left, stating that they were neglecting the situation in the Amazon. He said that São Paulo demonstrated that a right-wing government could reconcile environmental preservation and development. According to Freitas, in 2025 the area affected by fires in state conservation units fell by 91% compared to 2024. He also stated that in August 2026, the state recorded the lowest number of hotspots for that month since the beginning of the historical series in 1998. He mentioned that more than R$ 400 million had been mobilized to prevent and combat wildfires, with investments in technology, satellite monitoring, and artificial intelligence. The governor also declared that over 44,000 hectares were in the process of forest restoration and that 13.2 thousand hectares had been incorporated into state protected areas. Regarding river recovery, he cited R$ 22 billion in investments in IntegraTietê, more than 1.5 million households connected to the sewage network, and 6.5 million cubic meters of sediments removed from the Tietê basin. According to him, the organic pollution load of the river had decreased by almost 30%, and the pollution stain had receded by 33 kilometers, about 16%. Freitas stated that these actions had not impeded economic development, job creation, and the growth of São Paulo, and he argued that environmental protection depended on responsibility and work, not ideology. #MeioAmbiente #DesenvolvimentoSustentável #SãoPaulo (translated)

The X-user Coxx wrote that the medfluencer Alina Walbrun fell for a fabricated illness of the YouTuber Marvin Wildhage in July 2026. Wildhage supposedly had "post-viral nasal hypersensitivity" and invented a fake pharmaceutical company supposedly led by "Dr. Sofia Beatrice Gepetto." Walbrun accepted 3,800 euros for paid clarification and stated on Instagram that she was familiar with the condition from her studies. According to Coxx, she also mentioned symptoms that had not been included in the briefing. Coxx described Walbrun, born in 1998, as one of the most influential German-speaking medfluencers; she had around 300,000 Instagram followers. She had studied human medicine at LMU Munich until May 2026 and referred to herself as "Doc Alina," even though she was not a practicing doctor. Criticism of this had already existed before the scandal. After the video was released, Walbrun apologized, called the term unverified and misleading, and donated the 3,800 euros to Doctors Without Borders, wrote Coxx. The LMU clinic stated that Walbrun was no longer active there and distanced itself from unscientific statements. Coxx also pointed to criticism of the "Doc" title, retracted Harvard statements that later only pertained to a summer school, as well as Walbrun's company Onegevity. This company sold dietary supplements, including matcha with sleep berry, which the BfR warned against. Unsolicited blood sugar tips had also drawn criticism from the German Diabetes Society. Coxx wrote that the public prosecutor's office is now investigating Walbrun, whom he labeled a left-green activist and fraudster. #Medfluencer #Gesundheit #Skandal (translated)

Marcin Józefaciuk criticized the response of Deputy Minister Sławomir Ćwik to a question about paternity testing at the request of a parent and the responsibility for knowingly misleading a man. As he wrote, in the League of Debates Portal Zero, Ćwik accused the question of stereotyping women and said he trusts his wife. Józefaciuk believed that instead of addressing legal protections, the deputy minister assessed the intentions of the questioner and referenced personal experience. Józefaciuk reminded that — as he pointed out — the law establishes paternity by presumption concerning the mother's husband, acknowledgment of paternity, or court ruling, without universal DNA verification. He also noted that the test result does not, in itself, change the legal status of a father. He criticized Ćwik's statement that a man can test a child despite the mother's objection, invoking Article 97 § 2 of the Family and Guardianship Code, which — according to him — requires joint decision-making by parents on significant matters concerning the child and provides for court resolution in case of disagreement. The author wrote that the mother's husband essentially has a year from obtaining information about the lack of biological paternity to file a lawsuit for its denial, no later than until the child reaches adulthood. He also cited case III CZP 91/11, in which the Supreme Court described the case of a man who acknowledged a child in 1998, and his acknowledgment was annulled in 2006 after paternity was excluded by DNA testing. Józefaciuk called for presenting data on such proceedings and considering the available procedure for paternity testing, taking into account the protection of the child and the possibility of judicial resolution of the other parent's objections. He also advocated for a discussion about the consequences of proven, deliberate misleading. He qualified that the DNA result alone does not prove fraud nor automatically grant the right to recover expenses, and the child should not be held accountable for the actions of adults. #Polska #ojcostwo #prawo (translated)
