The page said that President Lula thanked the fandoms for their mobilization and support during a speech on Avenida Paulista. It also reported having participated in a conversation and recording with Vice President Geraldo Alckmin at DiaTV, through Mídia NINJA, with representation from producer Guifa.

The page added that it could not speak for the singer nor say who she would vote for in a Brazilian election, but it associated her trajectory with the defense of the LGBTQIA+ community, women, equality, freedom, combating prejudice, and political participation. #Democracia #FandomsUnidos #VotoConsciente (translated)

Fede Sturzenegger stated that a tweet from Flor Carignano about DNU 70/23 showed, in his opinion, that Kirchnerism was against the benefits that the norm had granted to Argentines. He described it as a force protecting the "elite" and claimed that its proposals would lead to stagnation and poverty. In defending the decree, Sturzenegger said that after the repeal of the Rental Law, four times more apartments were being published and that prices had dropped by more than 30% in real terms. He also stated that, since the DNU, the prices of medications had fallen by 20% in real terms; domestic tickets by 51%; and tourist packages by 40%. He added that in 2025 there were 33 million passengers and that international connections from cities in the interior increased by 70%. Regarding foreign trade, he attributed part of the 63% drop in appliance prices and the 43% drop in textiles to the changes in the decree. He also said that more than 750,000 satellite internet connections allowed access for almost 3 million people in the interior, and that tourism reforms had increased the number of agencies by almost 40% and employment in the sector by more than 10%. Sturzenegger pointed out that some labor and land provisions had been taken to Congress, while others had been challenged in court. He stated that the DNU had removed trade restrictions, reduced paperwork, and allowed contracts in the chosen currency, among other changes. He concluded that the debate about the decree should be kept in mind in the elections of the following year. #DNU70 #Kirchnerismo #Argentina (translated)

Xico Graziano criticized Lilia Schwacz for a video in which, according to him, the professor said she would use Pix as much as possible because Flávio Bolsonaro could end the system by order of Donald Trump. Graziano classified the statement as false and questioned whether Schwacz knew this or truly believed that a victory for Bolsonaro would leave Brazil subservient to the United States. The author highlighted that Schwacz was a professor of Anthropology at USP, a Global Scholar from Princeton, an award-winning writer, and the owner of the publishing house Cia das Letras. He also stated that she was elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters in March 2024 for chair 9. Graziano compared the video to her inauguration speech two years earlier, in which, according to him, Schwacz had advocated for the strengthening of institutions and citizenship. Graziano questioned whether the professor had used her prestige to deceive the public and speculated about the reasons for the publication, mentioning the possibility that she had consumed alcohol or was out of touch with reality due to living in an academic bubble. He also associated the episode with what he described as an old ideology of the Brazilian intellectual left, formed in the 1950s and 1960s and still linked to the class struggle. #FakeNews #Cidadania #Antropologia (translated)

Raul Sena stated that the left's strategy would hardly regain votes. According to him, the left presented the dispute as a fight between good and evil, in which voting against Lula would mean being on the wrong side of history, but people knew voters of Flávio who they considered good, honest, and hardworking. Sena said that this comparison weakened the narrative and made people feel manipulated. He also claimed that the speeches were becoming increasingly aggressive and tried to convince through fear and hostility. In Sena's assessment, treating someone as a horrible person usually did not make them change their vote. #Política #Eleições2024 #DebatePolítico (translated)
