The publication stated that Kayath was one of the names considered to take over the Ministry of Economy in a possible government of Flávio Bolsonaro. According to the author, in an interview with Estadão, Kayath emphasized that he was not part of the campaign or the coordination of the economic program; the author deemed this stance appropriate as it prevented his statements, even if distorted, from affecting the campaign. The author mentioned as part of Kayath's background his work as a banker, his collaboration with Lemann, and his support for Lula in 2022. He expressed understanding of the concerns that these backgrounds could generate, although he did not consider them a problem given the current situation. What, according to the publication, caused discomfort was Kayath having considered — or having considered in the past — Bolsonaro "crazy" and not contesting the characterization of those involved on January 8 as coup plotters. The author assessed that Kayath supported Flávio but believed there were coup plotters within bolsonarism, and that a coup would not occur because Flávio would respect the institutions. He stated that Kayath still needed to understand that, in his view, Bolsonaro and bolsonarism had always respected these institutions. The publication also mentioned that Kayath was in favor of abolishing reelection and stated that he could reconsider his positions over time and with more information. #Economia #Bolsonaro #Política (translated)

Antonio Tabet addressed voters who still supported Flávio Bolsonaro and stated that he was not a member of the Workers' Party, reminding them that he had publicly criticized the party and Lula. For him, the second round was not about opposing left and right or the PT and PL, but about democracy and authoritarianism, among other contrasts. Tabet said he understood those who wanted Lula out of the Presidency but classified voting for the Bolsonaro clan as self-sabotage, citing what he called their history and origins. He also warned that the family could perpetuate itself in power, despite calls for change. He further stated that bolsonarism did not represent the right and said he would support whoever contested against the Bolsonaros if Romeu Zema ran. #democracia #liberdade #autoritarismo (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)

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)
