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)

Pedro Menin wrote that, after the Ana Elisa episode, his sources said that Lula's campaign had considered the possibility of him withdrawing from the candidacy and letting Geraldo Alckmin take his place, in an attempt to keep the PT in power. According to Menin, this hypothesis was motivated by the lower rejection of the vice president, and Lula and Janja would take on ministries. Menin stated that, according to Article 77, § 4 of the Constitution, a candidate who withdraws before the second round could not be replaced, and that Augusto Cury, as the highest remaining candidate, would enter the race. He also cited Article 13 of Law 9.504 and said that the substitution rule would only apply if the new registration was requested up to 20 days before the election, except in cases of death; for the second round, the constitutional rule would prevail. He stated that members of the campaign were angry and desperate in the face of a defeat they considered imminent, and said that just a few weeks earlier, no one believed in this possibility. Menin also predicted that Lula would be humiliated and that his political career would come to an end on the 25th, presenting the contest as a “Holy War” between what he called the people of God and the PT. #Lula #Eleições2024 #PolíticaBrasil (translated)

Marco Setaccioli had argued that Donald Trump, after imposing sanctions on those buying fuel from Russia, would in turn buy Russian fuel. According to Setaccioli, the money paid to Moscow would allow Vladimir Putin to purchase drones from Iran and technology from China, which in turn purchased Iranian oil. The author had accused Trump of indirectly funding the Tehran regime while the United States was waging war against it, and of contributing to dedollarization by paying in dollars. He also used offensive expressions to describe the U.S. president and accused him of putting weapons in the hands of America's enemies, claiming that dictators knew how to exploit him and convince him to lead the country away from ruin. #politica #Trump #Russia (translated)

Javier Milei recounted a joke that, according to him, a growth professor had told in class. In the story, three economists bought three train tickets, while three physicists bought one and hid together in a bathroom when the conductor arrived. The next day, the economists tried to imitate the strategy, but the physicists took their ticket and hid in another bathroom, so the economists ended up getting caught. Milei argued that using tools from mathematics, physics, or statistics did not make their users, including economists, experts. He added that using them without the necessary knowledge could backfire on the user and make them look like a complete fool. #Economía #Matemáticas #Estadística (translated)

Rick Azevedo stated that he was available to President Lula in Brasília, but he said that the campaign's communication needed to open up so that he could help. According to him, the team seemed more concerned with internal disputes than with reversing the situation. Azevedo claimed to be the most voted left-wing deputy in the state of Rio de Janeiro and in the capital, and stated that he received more than 40,000 votes in Baixada Fluminense. #Política #Lula #Comunicação (translated)

Poponze wrote that the influencer Bomtalvão declared his vote for Lula. According to the author, Bomtalvão stated that his experience as a gay man, the use of FIES to obtain a diploma, the death of his grandfather during the pandemic, and his livelihood through his own art prevented him from supporting proposals he considered incompatible with his identity. Bomtalvão also asked people to respect different opinions and encouraged women who did not vote in the first round to come to the second. He urged them to vote for freedom, food, education, public schools, and benefits that, according to him, had been earned over the years. He also said that risking losing these achievements would be a setback and concluded with the phrase “On the 25th it’s 13.” #Lula #VotoConsciente #DireitosHumanos (translated)
