Manoel described lambe-lambe as a historical form of popular communication used by social movements, artists, and political organizations to bring ideas and denunciations to the streets. He argued that any issues regarding heritage, property, or the use of public space should be addressed through legal means, without intimidation or selective criminalization. The author also stated that the actions of the activists were being treated as a police case, while other forms of advertising occupied the streets, and attributed to Bolsonaro's supporters a systematic strategy of intimidation to block the political change he advocated. #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Militância #LambeLambe (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that the cover of the October 10 to 16 edition of *The Economist* featured the phrase “The Bolsonaros are back” and that the editorial described Brazil as a right-wing country. According to her, the magazine, which had made severe criticisms of Jair Bolsonaro, did not express support for the family but acknowledged a political shift in the country. Michelin wrote that after the first round, Flávio Bolsonaro entered the decisive race ahead of Lula, with about 47% of the valid votes against 45%. She said that the magazine considered him the favorite for October 25 and projected his victory. The author also attributed to the publication the assessment that the PL expanded its presence in the Senate and the Chamber, while the right consolidated its space in the largest electoral colleges. According to Michelin, the magazine linked Lula's decline to the cost of living, debt, fiscal difficulties, scandals, and the loss of strength of his discourse among young people. Michelin stated that the dominance of the PT faced a rupture that, in her view, could not be explained solely by anti-PT sentiment or by the figure of Jair Bolsonaro. Although Lula was still contesting the presidency and the ballots of October 25 would provide the final result, she concluded that the right was not a passing wave and that Brazilians had brought the Bolsonaros back. #Brasil #Política #Eleições (translated)
