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)

Captain Bitcoin stated that the PSOE had designed a campaign for the elections on November 29 with the goal of winning. According to his publication, it would begin with a general strike on November 11, the first in eight years and two days before the start of the campaign. He claimed that the protest would be directed against the opposition and would benefit the unions, which he described as bought. The author said that the Government would announce during the electoral weekend increases of 4.5% for civil servants, 3.5% for pensioners, and a rise in the minimum wage. He also predicted that it would approve housing decrees through the Permanent Deputation, where, he indicated, it had a majority. Regarding the electoral message, he stated that the PSOE would present the opposition as a threat to pensions and would contrast the government's wage increases with an alleged reduction in salaries by the far-right. He also labeled it dubious that the mail-in voting was questioned and said that Pedro was asking to allow 400,000 naturalized people in South America to vote immediately, without waiting. Captain Bitcoin maintained that the plan consisted of handing out public money for three weeks and generating fear before the elections, so that afterward, as he wrote, the bill would be passed on for another four years. He added that he would publish three videos on how to protect oneself on October 14, 15, and 16 on his channel. #Elecciones2023 #PSOE #España (translated)

David Alandete pointed out that The Washington Post reported that Juan González, former senior advisor to Joe Biden for Latin America at the National Security Council, had traveled to Venezuela to gather information related to his consulting activities.
