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)

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)

Leandro Ruschel shared the account of a reporter from Veja about alleged dealings of Banco Master with members of the PT and fund managers. According to the material cited by the journalist, Daniel Vorcaro's partner contacted Jaques Wagner, then leader of Lula's government in the Senate, to arrange a meeting with João Vaccari Neto, the party's former treasurer. After the meeting, the reporter stated, the bank would have organized fundraising with funds whose presidents had been appointed by Vaccari and by names from the PT and appointed or endorsed by Lula. The account indicated that, near the end of the first semester of 2024, Banco Master obtained authorization from the federal government to operate and raise funds from the funds. Vorcaro would have reached out to operators linked to members of the government, including Alexandre Padilha, then Minister of Institutional Relations, with the goal of raising R$ 10 billion from the funds. In exchange, he allegedly agreed to pay the PT 10% of the total raised, according to the reporter. According to the account, Vaccari demanded R$ 30 million in cash from Augusto Lima to finance a documentary about Lula that Oliver Stone was producing in the United States. Vorcaro reportedly said that the money was delivered through messengers and PT operators. The reporter also stated that Vorcaro mentioned payments to the Instituto Lula, coordinated with Paulo Okamotto, a friend of the president and manager of the institution. #Política #Corrupção #Lula (translated)

Julio Schneider stated that Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master and arrested for fraud, reported in audios and documents obtained by VEJA a proposal involving R$ 30 million in cash for the Lula Institute. According to Schneider, the account was part of an attachment presented to the Attorney General's Office in June, as part of a second plea bargain proposal that was discarded due to lack of corroboration. According to the version attributed to Vorcaro, Augusto Lima, then partner and CEO of Master, allegedly approached João Vaccari Neto through Jaques Wagner, then leader of Lula's government in the Senate. Vaccari would have conditioned the bank's accreditation for federal pension funds — Previ, Caixa Asset, Funcef, Petros, and Postalis — on two payments to the Lula Institute, headed by Paulo Okamotto: about R$ 30 million in cash to cover expenses of the documentary about Lula directed by Oliver Stone and another undisclosed amount. Schneider also wrote that Vaccari would have asked for 10% of the resources that Master raised from the funds. If the plan had materialized, according to the estimate attributed to Vorcaro, the Workers' Party would receive about R$ 1 billion and Vorcaro R$ 9 billion; the operation did not progress. The author emphasized that this was Vorcaro's version, not a conviction. Schneider also pointed out that, in the audio, Vorcaro contrasted the sponsorship of the film about Bolsonaro, which he described as regular, with the support for the documentary about Lula, which would have been paid in cash. #Lula #Corrupção #Documentário (translated)

IaraGB wrote that, according to a report by Daniel Vorcaro to VEJA, the former treasurer of the PT, João Vaccari Neto, allegedly demanded around R$ 30 million in cash, off the books, for Banco Master to enter the pension funds of federal employees Banco do Brasil, Caixa Asset, and Previ. The amount, according to the publication, was said to be intended for the Lula Institute, led by Paulo Okamotto, to finance a documentary about Lula abroad, directed by Oliver Stone and featuring testimonies from allies like Walfrido Warde. Vorcaro also allegedly reported the payment of another undisclosed amount directly to the institute. The author stated that, according to the banker’s account, the approach was made by Augusto Lima, then a partner and CEO of Master, and Jaques Wagner allegedly mediated the meeting with Vaccari. The allegation was said to have been presented to the PGR in June, in the second testimony, but was filed away due to lack of evidence, as the payment was said to have been made in cash. According to the publication, the defense mentioned WhatsApp messages, names of people who allegedly picked up the money, and delivery routes. #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)

Leonardo Dias wrote that, according to VEJA magazine (issue 3016, from 10/9/2026), Daniel Vorcaro reportedly detailed in audio and in material submitted to the PGR in June how Banco Master obtained access to the pension funds of state entities. In the version attributed to Vorcaro, Jaques Wagner allegedly facilitated the connection, and partner Augusto Lima reportedly met with João Vaccari Neto. Dias stated that Vorcaro described a payment of about R$ 30 million in cash for Oliver Stone's documentary about Lula, through Paulo Okamotto, in addition to an undisclosed amount to the Lula Institute. Later, according to the report, the Master would pay 10% of what it raised from the funds of BB, Caixa, Petrobras, and Correios: Vorcaro estimated R$ 1 billion for the PT and R$ 9 billion for himself. The author also mentioned messages found on Vorcaro's cell phone. According to Dias, an operator identified as Júlio introduced him to Olavo Noleto, the executive secretary of Alexandre Padilha. On 4/29/2024, Master was said to have entered a list that released the funds; on the same day, Júlio allegedly demanded R$ 500,000. Two days later, a dinner with Padilha was said to have occurred at the banker’s house. In October, Júlio reportedly wrote that the president would meet with Vorcaro. Dias added that Padilha allegedly said dealing with Noleto was equivalent to dealing with him. According to the author, the operation stopped in July 2024, after it became public that Caixa managers opposed to the deal had lost their positions. Vorcaro was said to have claimed that municipal funds yielded R$ 6 million to Padilha’s group. Dias compared this amount to the more than R$ 60 million from Dark Horse and reported that Vorcaro differentiated the payments linked to Lula from those related to Flávio. Dias noted that Lula, Padilha, and Noleto denied the accusations. He also stated that there was no evidence that the meeting with Lula promised by Júlio took place; the only confirmed meeting at the Planalto, on 12/4/2024 and outside the official agenda, reportedly dealt with the Master at the Central Bank. The author said that the PGR dismissed the attachment due to a lack of evidence of cash payments and that the same archived material mentioned payments to Davi Alcolumbre and members of the Judiciary. #Lula #Corrupção #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)
