Felipe Moura Brasil shared the transcription of a reporter from Veja who defended a report amid the reactions to the publication of a recording. The journalist stated that, in addition to the audio, the article was based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone before he formalized a plea deal proposal. According to the reporter, Vorcaro had already presented a third proposal to the PGR, but the agency did not want to listen to him. In the transcription, the reporter claimed that messages from 2024 and 2025 indicated that Vorcaro had intermediaries at the Palácio do Planalto who were working with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica, Petrobras, and Correios. He asserted that the objective was to raise 10 billion reais from these funds, with 1 billion reais earmarked for bribes to the PT, as part of an agreement to save Banco Master. He also said that an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha sought fund executives and that meetings had been organized to facilitate the bank's operations. The reporter further stated that, in May 2024, Banco Master entered the so-called "exhaustive list," which, according to him, allowed the funds to invest in the institution. At the same time, he said, the bank was negotiating credit letters worth 500 million reais with Caixa Econômica. According to the journalist, the operation did not progress after the newspaper O Globo reported, in July 2024, that two managers from Caixa had been removed for issuing a negative opinion. He added that Vorcaro had reported, in a plea deal proposal to which the report had access, that Padilha and other PT members backed down after the case was disclosed. #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)

Majakovsk has argued that the amount of diesel that the United States would buy or unlock from Russia would be insufficient to cover American needs and would mostly arrive just before or after the midterm elections. In his view, the initiative would primarily serve a propaganda function. He added that many estimates would consider Russian production capacity without accounting for the growth of domestic consumption. Before the war, he wrote, Russia produced 80-90 million tons of diesel per year, exported about half (40-45 Mt), and consumed 35-38 million internally. According to 2026 data cited by Majakovsk, production would have dropped to about 70-75 million tons, while domestic consumption would have risen to 48-55 million, also due to the needs of the war machine and logistics. Majakovsk stated that, during certain periods, including planting and harvesting or offensives, Moscow would be forced to temporarily suspend exports to meet domestic demand, relying on strategic reserves for the rest of the year. He then argued that a significant increase in Russian exports would not be sustainable and that overseas sales would be capped. Referring to Donald Trump's move, Majakovsk called it a worrying political signal, especially for the diplomatic and symbolic rupture it would represent; he added that the influx of new capital into the Russian war machine would remain marginal. #Ucraina #diesel #politica (translated)

Gustavo Tutinha wrote that the judge Marco Antônio Ibrahim, president of the 23rd Chamber of Private Law of TJRJ, granted a preliminary injunction requested by Vasco and ordered the concessionaire Fla-Flu to make Maracanã available for the semifinal of the South American Cup on 10/20, between Vasco and Boca. According to Tutinha, the magistrate prioritized public safety over the conditions of the pitch, mentioned statements from the Military Police and the Public Prosecutor's Office, and stated that the history of conflicts between Vasco and the concessionaire seemed to indicate a "personal issue." The decision would also guarantee the club equal commercial and operational conditions to those of Flamengo and Fluminense, with immediate compliance, including by a court official on duty. #Vasco #Maracanã #SulAmericana (translated)

Marco wrote that Călin Georgescu's supporters had protested for the 11th night, demanding the release of a man they considered politically persecuted. He stated that they could demonstrate peacefully until 10 PM when they were spoken to civilly and were not threatened with fines. In his opinion, the issue was not public order, but the presence of the protesters and their refusal to be silent. Marco added that state institutions should protect the right to protest, not intimidate citizens. #Democrație #Protest #DrepturiOmului (translated)

Nae Moromete stated that PSD would have been captured by the "system" after the disappearance of Liviu Dragnea and predicted that AUR would meet the same fate after the disappearance of George Simion. He supported his prediction and urged the party's supporters to unite around Simion. Moromete claimed that those who criticized the AUR leader during those days were infiltrators of the system in the sovereignist movement. He listed Peia, Lulea, Pavelescu, and Uscova and associated them with individuals whom he said supported the "Black Widow" and who had previously appeared on "Televiziunea Poporului." He said he did not guarantee for anyone and had faith only in God, but warned that, in his opinion, propaganda aimed to divide AUR. Moromete added that he hoped Simion would not disappoint his supporters and that he saw no other chance for the party. #AUR #PSD #politica (translated)
