Elias Jabbour wrote that, a day after a student protest against Flávio Bolsonaro, students from UFPE received threats in his name that mentioned a bomb. Hours later, according to Jabbour, a large fire hit the university's Innovation Directorate, responsible for intellectual property and technology transfer. He stated that the fire destroyed samples of research on cancer, autism, and COVID, as well as years of work from master's, doctoral, and post-doctoral students, attributing the destruction to intolerance and denialism. Jabbour called for an immediate investigation by the Federal Police and the Federal Public Ministry. The author also stated that the affected location was symbolic for transforming knowledge into patents, technology, and industry. In his assessment, countries like China, Japan, Germany, and Norway had understood the importance of strong universities and state planning in science and technology, while treating the university as an enemy would leave Brazil in a peripheral position. #Fascismo #Educação #Ciência (translated)

JH Fonseca questioned whether the people who considered it dangerous to have a majority in the Senate and the House had analyzed the political systems of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan. In a critical tone, he stated that, based on that logic, it would be better to have 40 parties and depend on the mensalão to approve legislative projects. #Política #Governança #Democracia (translated)

Let's get to the facts, then, but to the real ones and not those from an attachment from the chamber, which I haven’t seen and which is likely outdated. TUMO Lisbon opened two years ago with a thousand students. In the second year it increased to fifteen hundred, and it continues with fifteen hundred, the same as TUMO Coimbra, TUMO Porto, and TUMO Bilbao -- all operated by us. The 700 that the councilor mentions were the prudent hypothesis of a proposal document from three years ago, when the Chamber was supposed to have entered as a founding member of the project. The students are in Beato, we can count them, and they are double what you say. The cost per student thus comes out contrary: 250,000 euros (per year) divided by fifteen hundred adolescents equals 167 euros per student per year, for four hours a week of technology, design, and programming, outside school hours, for free. Public school costs the State more than seven thousand euros per student per year, and I have never heard you say that you find it expensive -- a value that does not include rent, which we pay, and in which the municipalities take care of the management and payment of non-teaching staff, operational assistants, and technical assistants, as well as the maintenance of the buildings, meals, school transportation, and school social action. The 'initial phase' you mention in which the support would be 'more than double' did not exist: TUMO Lisbon operated for two full years without a cent from the chamber, with 100% private funding, while CML fulfilled, with two years of delay, the support it had promised at the opening. As for the idea that supporting TUMO is an eccentricity of Lisbon: in Coimbra, Porto, Matosinhos, and Gaia, the chambers also support; in Bilbao, the Diputación Foral de Bizkaia and the Ayuntamiento; in Paris, TUMO is fully funded by the chamber, and the same in Buenos Aires, Tirana, Los Angeles, and Gunma, Japan; in Germany, the six centers are funded by the public development bank, the federal government, and the municipalities. Lisbon is not the exception that supports. It was the exception that did not support. I renew the invitation: come see the fifteen hundred. Send me a private message and we'll agree on a day. It's faster than reading attachments and more useful than throwing comments on X. Moreover, coming to know the projects supported by the Chamber is your duty as a councilor. #Educação #Lisboa #TUMO (translated)
