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)

Maarten van den Berg wrote that the share of households unable to heat their homes properly had increased, according to him, from 3% in 2020 to almost one in ten in 2024. He stated that the gas price had risen again and referred to a warm home as a basic right. According to him, cold and damp could cause mold, lung complaints, and heart problems, leading to healthcare costs. Van den Berg also noted that the tax component of the gas price was nowhere in the EU as high as in the Netherlands, where it accounted for more than half, according to him. From January 1, 2028, the EU levy ETS-2 would be added, he wrote. He wondered if people in the Netherlands would also take to the streets, like in France. #energietarieven #klimaat #sociaalrecht (translated)

Maarten van den Berg wrote that the economic position of the EU would change significantly in the near future. According to him, Germany, France, and Italy accounted for 13.8% of the world economy based on purchasing power parity in 1992, compared to 6.9% now. He stated that the share of the G7 would decrease from 47% to 26% by 2031 according to the IMF, and that the BRICS countries had already surpassed the G7 around 2020. Van den Berg wrote that the growth of the BRICS countries mainly came from India. He noted that China remained around 20%, with Russia, Brazil, and South Africa not far behind; he pointed out that these countries did not participate in Paris2030 and the Green Deal. He argued that economic weight was not automatic and had to be earned through growth. #Economie #EU #WereldwijdeGroei (translated)

Pri wrote that the Federal Police was considering requesting the extradition of Eduardo Bolsonaro and that Moraes had ordered the enforcement of a sentence of 4 years and 2 months. According to her, Bolsonaro was in the U.S. with a green card, and a Brazilian warrant would not lead to his arrest in the country, being merely "theater." https://t.co/Jm8thAeCLT #EduardoBolsonaro #Extradição #Justiça (translated)

Julio Schneider claimed that Alexandre de Moraes had canceled Eduardo Bolsonaro's passport, who, according to him, had been living in the United States since 2025 with a green card. Schneider stated that the decision would not lead to Bolsonaro's arrest but would turn him into a privileged political refugee. He also claimed that Bolsonaro was the family representative in Washington and that, without a passport, he would have less to lose in Brazil, while American authorities would have one more reason to accelerate sanctions under the Magnitsky Act against Moraes. #EduardoBolsonaro #LeiMagnitsky #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)
