Karina Michelin stated that on Sunday, October 11, the Amazon was still burning and that the smoke in Manaus was affecting residents, while classes were suspended and firefighters were working at their limit. She also reported that a firefighter became ill during the firefighting efforts and had to be carried by colleagues. Michelin said that the Amazon Fire Department requested reinforcements from the federal government on September 18, including four aircraft, transportation, and vehicles. According to her, on October 1, the National Public Security Secretariat, linked to the Lula government, responded that the request could not be met at that moment. The author stated that the federal government claimed the state had waived support and cited 229 extinguished fires and another 20 still being fought. She said the aircraft began to arrive on October 10, following a wave of complaints on social media. The author compared the current mobilization with that of 2021, during the Bolsonaro government, when Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethânia, and Chico César participated in the song "Canção pra Amazônia," by Greenpeace. She questioned the absence of a similar mobilization in light of the situation of residents and firefighters. Michelin called Lula and the Amazonas government hypocrites and demanded explanations about who had denied or waived help and when reinforcements arrived at the fire line. She also stated that human and animal lives threatened by smoke should take precedence over political disputes. #Amazônia #Incêndios #MeioAmbiente (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)

Kriska Carvalho said she was outraged by the criticism she received after warning that those elections were worse than those of 2018. She stated that, since then, the right had been electing majorities in municipalities, governments, and Congress, and estimated that half of the population — or perhaps the majority — identified with this political field. She also mentioned that Nikolas had been elected with the majority and that the opponents had achieved a significant victory. Carvalho asserted that insisting on the case of Daniel Vorcaro had not mobilized the public and criticized the attention given to the subject. She also stated that people were not interested in rare earths or Monjaru. According to her, false news was powerful, and the president should be careful with what he said, citing the episodes of the card and the exam. She added that her side did not count on the large technology companies, while the opponents relied on them, money, and support from abroad. Carvalho described the movement as a years-long construction that had co-opted young people and mentioned the indebtedness and the decision to overturn sports betting, which, according to her, had been detrimental because of football teams. Finally, she rejected the notion that her assessment was pessimism and stated that the results in Congress, the Senate, the Chamber, and in governments should be taken into account. She also criticized activists who, in her opinion, did not accept hearing truths and preferred to live in illusions. #Realidade #Política #Eleições (translated)
