Planeta do Futebol reported that, after an unfavorable court decision, the Fla-Flu Consortium asked the court to reject a new appeal from Vasco regarding ticket sales for the match against Boca Juniors. The concessionaire stated that the club should assume the risks of having sold tickets while the injunction could still be suspended. The Consortium argued that the appeal had lost its object due to the proximity of the deadline and that it repeated already rejected arguments. It advocated for the match to be held at Nilton Santos Stadium and stated that there would still be time to reorganize the event. According to the publication, Vasco urgently requested reconsideration of the suspension and claimed that it had begun sales for Maracanã after receiving court authorization. The club argued that the capacity of Nilton Santos, which is 44,661 people, was less than the 46,014 tickets sold, which would require cancellations and refunds. It also pointed out the need to accommodate 4,000 visiting fans and maintain separation areas between the supporters. The appeal from Vasco and the statement from the Fla-Flu Consortium were awaiting analysis from Judge Suely Lopes Magalhães, reported Planeta do Futebol, based on ESPN Brazil. #Vasco #Maracanã #Futebol (translated)

Xico Graziano criticized Lilia Schwacz for a video in which, according to him, the professor said she would use Pix as much as possible because Flávio Bolsonaro could end the system by order of Donald Trump. Graziano classified the statement as false and questioned whether Schwacz knew this or truly believed that a victory for Bolsonaro would leave Brazil subservient to the United States. The author highlighted that Schwacz was a professor of Anthropology at USP, a Global Scholar from Princeton, an award-winning writer, and the owner of the publishing house Cia das Letras. He also stated that she was elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters in March 2024 for chair 9. Graziano compared the video to her inauguration speech two years earlier, in which, according to him, Schwacz had advocated for the strengthening of institutions and citizenship. Graziano questioned whether the professor had used her prestige to deceive the public and speculated about the reasons for the publication, mentioning the possibility that she had consumed alcohol or was out of touch with reality due to living in an academic bubble. He also associated the episode with what he described as an old ideology of the Brazilian intellectual left, formed in the 1950s and 1960s and still linked to the class struggle. #FakeNews #Cidadania #Antropologia (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)
