Janaina Paschoal wrote that she participated, the day before, in a meeting in downtown São Paulo with representatives from the City Council, the mayor, the governor, elected senators, and Flávio Bolsonaro. She described the place as filled with a hostile and aggressive atmosphere towards those who think differently. She said that this was the third time she had heard the candidate senator and that, after a significant vote in the first round, he seemed more at ease. She compared his speech to previous occasions: at an event in Alesp, he used his phone while giving his speech; at the launch of Tarcísio's candidacy, he appeared insecure in front of a gradually departing audience. According to Paschoal, at the meeting, Flávio Bolsonaro asked for support, made commitments—including not seeking re-election—and showed that he was prepared, in addition to having devoted half his life to politics. She reported that when asked by a journalist on her way out, she said that after the choices of the first round, she saw only one path in front of Lula, the PT, and what she called a known history: to vote for 22. Paschoal stated that she hopes Flávio Bolsonaro wins and that, above all, she hopes to consider him the best president the country has ever had. #FlávioBolsonaro #Política #Eleições (translated)

Press Briefs reported, citing Le Monde, that Eden, 14 years old, had lost the ability to speak after being hit in the face by a tear gas grenade fired by a police officer on September 28 in Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône.

The police officer had been charged with violence resulting in mutilation or permanent disability and placed under judicial supervision. The publication added that students and teachers at the Château-d’Épluches high school remained in shock. A teacher was wondering how to support the students after the incident, while Ryan, a friend of Eden, had hung a sign reading "Justice for Eden" on the school gate and sent a photo to his friend.

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)
