BenBinnen wrote that he no longer had understanding for people who, in his opinion, still claimed to feel the pain and consequences centuries later. He stated that Germany and Japan were heavily bombed during World War II but had built flourishing economies and functioning societies within a few decades. He also pointed out that South Korea was as poor as North Korea in the 1950s and now had a high standard of living, just like Singapore. BenBinnen urged people he labeled as racist instigators and complainers to take responsibility and make something of their lives. #Verantwoordelijkheid #Economie #Levensstandaard (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the government of Jair Bolsonaro represented a threat to the environment and said that Flávio Bolsonaro was following the same path. He associated the son of the former president with criminal organizations, militias, and practices of kickbacks. Manoel criticized proposals from Flávio's government plan to accelerate environmental licensing. According to him, the measure could allow the issuance of licenses before the completion of the analysis by the responsible agencies, increasing the risk of damage to rivers, forests, and communities. He also warned of potential risks of water contamination and impacts on soil with the release of fracking, in addition to the effects of the expansion of mining and the exploration of oil and gas. The author also stated that the plan envisioned reorganizing the functions of agencies responsible for oversight and environmental protection and traditional territories, such as Ibama, Funai, and ICMBio. He defended the role of licensing and oversight in preventing impacts on nature and communities. Manoel called Flávio Bolsonaro a setback and advocated for the re-election of President Lula, as well as the end of what he described as a project of destruction of Brazil by the Bolsonaro family. #MeioAmbiente #Sustentabilidade #Bolsonaro (translated)
