He said that this was not restricted to Eduardo Paes and mentioned the social networks of Tabata Amaral and the elected or re-elected progressive deputies in Pernambuco. He also said that, throughout the first round, he criticized those who attacked UP, PSTU, and PCB, and claimed that in the second round, the activists were the ones campaigning, while members of the "broad front" would be drinking expensive wine on a beach. #Política #Eleições2023 #ComunicaçãoDigital (translated)

Leandro Ruschel stated that Edson Fachin was advocating for a reform of the Judiciary without altering guarantees, but he questioned which guarantees he was referring to. According to Ruschel, in recent years, the Federal Supreme Court had restricted constitutional rights such as free expression, association, and manifestation, in addition to the right to defense, the natural judge, and due process. He said this had occurred especially with people who did not align with what he called the court's leftism. Ruschel also criticized the defense that the reform should be made "with the Judiciary." According to him, it is up to the Legislative to draft laws, while the Judiciary should apply them and assess their compatibility with the Constitution. He added that courts can propose laws regarding their own organization, but the decision falls to Congress, and they cannot present constitutional amendments. For Ruschel, the expression used by Fachin would be a euphemism for the usurpation of Congress's powers. #Judiciário #Reforma #GarantiasCivis (translated)

Leandro Ruschel stated that a reporter from Veja considered that the attention given to the recording published by the magazine would be diverting focus from more serious allegations based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone. According to Ruschel, the reporter said that messages from 2024 and 2025 would indicate a collusion with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa, Petrobras, and Correios to raise R$ 10 billion, of which R$ 1 billion would be destined to the PT as a bribe. The account also mentioned more than 450 messages with an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha. Ruschel said that, according to the report, Banco Master entered in May 2024 a government list that would allow it to receive investments from the funds, despite having low credit ratings and being under investigation for fraud. During the same period, the bank reportedly negotiated R$ 500 million in credit letters with Caixa; the operation retreated after O Globo reported, in July 2024, the removal of two managers who had issued a negative opinion. The report also claimed that Padilha had said, in a meeting at the Palácio do Planalto, that agreements made with Olavo Noleto would count as agreements with the minister himself, and that, after dinner at Vorcaro's house in October 2024, the banker received a message saying that Lula would meet him and had liked the conversation. According to Ruschel, the reporter stated that Lula received Vorcaro in December and that messages from lawyer Walfrido Warde suggested pressure on the Central Bank to save Master. He added that Vorcaro would have presented the account to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which had refused to receive the material, and that there would be evidence involving PGR members who had contact with the defense. Ruschel said that the reporter argued that Vorcaro should be heard and warned of the risk of diverting workers' resources to save the bank. #Corrupção #Política #Justiça (translated)
