Guilherme Cortez criticized the website that Flávio Bolsonaro created to combat fake news and contested the proposal to adjust the minimum wage only for inflation. He stated that this correction would restore losses, rather than represent an increase, and said that Flávio's father adopted this policy for four years until Lula resumed increases above inflation. Cortez also predicted that, under Flávio, anything that was not cut would remain stagnant, especially salaries. #FakeNews #SalarioMinimo #Economia (translated)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

Helder Floret stated that the dispute over Maracanã was more political than sporting. According to him, Flamengo knew that a match involving Vasco would not cause losses, but wanted to demonstrate power and act as if it were above the official regulations. Floret said that Vasco was trying to regain a position of prominence and, therefore, did not give up the dispute, which in his assessment should continue in the coming years and went beyond the stadium. He added that, whatever the immediate result, the club needed to move past the passive stance that, according to him, accepted everything out of weakness, as the moment had changed. #Futebol #Maracanã #PolíticaEsportiva (translated)

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)

Karina Michelin stated that the cover of the October 10 to 16 edition of *The Economist* featured the phrase “The Bolsonaros are back” and that the editorial described Brazil as a right-wing country. According to her, the magazine, which had made severe criticisms of Jair Bolsonaro, did not express support for the family but acknowledged a political shift in the country. Michelin wrote that after the first round, Flávio Bolsonaro entered the decisive race ahead of Lula, with about 47% of the valid votes against 45%. She said that the magazine considered him the favorite for October 25 and projected his victory. The author also attributed to the publication the assessment that the PL expanded its presence in the Senate and the Chamber, while the right consolidated its space in the largest electoral colleges. According to Michelin, the magazine linked Lula's decline to the cost of living, debt, fiscal difficulties, scandals, and the loss of strength of his discourse among young people. Michelin stated that the dominance of the PT faced a rupture that, in her view, could not be explained solely by anti-PT sentiment or by the figure of Jair Bolsonaro. Although Lula was still contesting the presidency and the ballots of October 25 would provide the final result, she concluded that the right was not a passing wave and that Brazilians had brought the Bolsonaros back. #Brasil #Política #Eleições (translated)

Arthur Machado stated that what was happening in France was part of a project to weaken national sovereignties across Europe. According to him, after the Great Depression of 1929, neoliberals would have advocated for the end of nations as a way to reduce instability, transferring economic decisions to a global structure and leaving political and social management to the states. Machado said that tariffs bothered globalists because they presupposed borders and economic sovereignty. He also linked the proposal by Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan to strengthen Europe economically and militarily to Mario Draghi's plan, which he claimed sought to centralize European economic, financial, and military power. The author stated that the goal would be to transform Europe into a state, with an integrated financial system, army, common institutions, and centralized power, reducing the full sovereignty of France, Germany, and other countries. He attributed this project to liberals and described it as a transfer of power from nations to supranational structures. #França #Globalismo #SoberaniaNacional (translated)
