In his first Sevillian rally of this pre-campaign, the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, promised that, if he wins, he will not only maintain but also "strengthen" his housing policy. Sánchez asks that decrees not be used to pit small property owners against tenants, but the very tone of the report sent by the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, to the Cortes is hostile towards the private activity of renting out houses. #Vivienda #Alquiler #Gobierno (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)

Tsuki found it "sensational" that the magazine Veja had directly accused Lula's campaign of spreading false news against the publication. He then summarized the arguments from a response by the magazine regarding its report about Vorcaro. According to the text from Veja reproduced by Tsuki, Vorcaro's lawyer would have confirmed the authenticity of the audio, and the magazine stated that it removed five short statements — 15 seconds in total — to protect the source. The publication also clarified that it did not say that the audio was included in the plea bargain nor that the confession was made to the Federal Police. Regarding the PGR, the magazine claimed that Vorcaro, through his lawyers, presented an account regarding the funding of a documentary about Lula and promised to deliver documents if the plea bargain was accepted, which did not happen. Tsuki also stated that some outlets were using "jurists" in their headlines to conceal, according to his assessment, that the coordination of Lula's presidential campaign was spreading false news against Veja's cover story. #PolíticaBR #FakeNews #Eleições2022 (translated)
