Leandro Ruschel stated that Edson Fachin was advocating for a reform of the Judiciary without altering guarantees, but he questioned which guarantees he was referring to. According to Ruschel, in recent years, the Federal Supreme Court had restricted constitutional rights such as free expression, association, and manifestation, in addition to the right to defense, the natural judge, and due process. He said this had occurred especially with people who did not align with what he called the court's leftism. Ruschel also criticized the defense that the reform should be made "with the Judiciary." According to him, it is up to the Legislative to draft laws, while the Judiciary should apply them and assess their compatibility with the Constitution. He added that courts can propose laws regarding their own organization, but the decision falls to Congress, and they cannot present constitutional amendments. For Ruschel, the expression used by Fachin would be a euphemism for the usurpation of Congress's powers. #Judiciário #Reforma #GarantiasCivis (translated)

IaraGB questioned the charges made against Flávio even before he took office and said that perfection was already being demanded of him. She stated that the situation resembled that of Bolsonaro and accused the right of ignoring four decades of the system's operation, noting that only recently had a strong bloc formed in the Legislative, with members who often still did not know how to act. The author advocated for understanding, said that Flávio would inherit a country in crisis to fix, and stated that the confrontation had already begun. She also suggested that those demanding perfection should run in the next election to feel what it was like to face a dangerous scheme. #Política #Eleições #Compreensão (translated)

"We have 200 (inmates) inside, right? And those 200 have to get out of prison. And if that means we have to vote on the Budgets, then we will vote on them. That's how loud and clear we say it. Because that (getting the inmates out) we have ... here, as the tacky ones would say, in the frontispiece. And we say, damn, it's the moment [...]. We have to force a Government like this to introduce a legislative change that favors ETA prisoners. With all that it means. It's the mother of all battles. We do not rule out that it could happen. If possible, we need six years, and perhaps in those six years we will achieve it." These are the statements of Arnaldo Otegi on October 20, 2021, while EH Bildu was negotiating support for the 2022 General State Budgets of the coalition Government then made up of the PSOE and Podemos. #ETA #Otegi #Prisiones (translated)

There were poorly made, poorly drafted regulations. Carlos Cortes recalls the controversy with some legislative diplomas that were published this summer (related to the additional surgical production in the SNS or the new management system for those registered for consultations and surgeries, the SINACC) and that were drafted by various entities, which resulted in a poor outcome. #FusãoNaSaúde #Megaestruturas #ReformaDaSaúde (translated)

Iron Lady criticized a woman elected to a legislative position that she did not specify, using a derogatory nickname and referencing her appearance. She stated that statements from her could lead the Public Prosecutor's Office — which she described as linked to Erika Hilton — to sue others and seek compensation for collective moral damages. She also said that the woman was competing with Erika Hilton over who made more plural errors and classified the case as a product of "lulo-psolism-paulo-freirean". Finally, she predicted that she would play the victim and claim conceptual fallacies that, according to Iron Lady, were adopted by institutions subjected to this current. #Política #Brasil #Educação (translated)

Lupe Sánchez referred to judgment 28/2026 of the Constitutional Court, dated March 25, 2026, to question the constitutionality of the Maricarmen decrees. As she summarized, the court held that a decree-law could not be approved simply to prevent the entry into force of provisions included in a law approved by the regional parliament. She added that the government's disagreement with the outcome of a parliamentary vote did not constitute a situation of extraordinary and urgent necessity. https://t.co/Std8Kso5P1 #Inconstitucionalidad #TribunalConstitucional #Derecho (translated)

"The end-of-life law can no longer be postponed. Clear and unambiguous rules must be established throughout Italy to fill a dangerous legislative void. To avoid hasty actions, a national law is needed. End-of-life issues touch on very personal rights and intersect with conscience, criminal law, professional responsibility, essential levels of care, and the principle of equality." Highlights Bishop Francesco Savino, Vice President of CEI: "The end-of-life law can no longer be postponed. Clear and unambiguous rules must be established throughout Italy to fill a dangerous legislative void. To avoid hasty actions, a national law is needed.

"In this regard, I commend the Government and the PS for the path of rapprochement they have been taking with a view to the approval of the State Budget for next year. I hope other parties can join this path of commitment and convergence in this and other legislative processes. As I have always said, both the Government and the opposition serve Portugal." On Monday, in his first speech as Head of State on Republic Day, António José Seguro argued that "political parties, social partners, and other actors in society must come to an understanding about the fundamental paths" for the country's development because "there is no time to waste." #OE2027 #OrçamentoDoEstado #PoliticaPortugal (translated)

Sérgio Santos wrote that Octavio Guedes had recalled a story about Benedita da Silva on Globo News. As a child, she accompanied her mother, who worked as a laundress and delivered clothes to the house of Juscelino Kubitschek, where, according to Santos, it was common to enter through the back. Benedita saw Márcia, Juscelino's daughter, with a doll, but she never had one. Santos also stated that the former president was assassinated by the military dictatorship in 1976. Years later, Benedita and Márcia worked together as federal deputies in the 1988 National Constituent Assembly. Santos recounted that, upon being elected for the first time and reuniting with Márcia in the Assembly, Benedita mentioned the doll; however, Márcia barely remembered the toy. The two hugged each other emotionally, despite having opposing ideologies, he reported. Santos described that period as a time when politics was not dominated by barbarism. Regarding Sunday, October 4, 2026, he stated that Benedita was left out of the Senate for Rio de Janeiro after the election of two far-right candidates, who, according to him, rejected everything she represented. #História #Política #Memória (translated)

LadyCrocs argued that the Constitution allows the Government to enact legislative provisions in the face of an extraordinary and urgent need, but requires that they be submitted immediately to a vote in Congress, as legislative power belongs to the legislative branch. According to her, Congress rejected the government's decrees last week and, when there is no Congress due to its dissolution, it is the Permanent Deputation's responsibility to approve them. She stated that it was legally disputable whether there was an extraordinary and urgent need to approve the provisional housing provisions last week. In her view, re-approving them to now submit them to the Permanent Deputation would constitute a "fraud of law." She also pointed out that these provisions could not affect General Electoral Law. The author added that, in her opinion, breaching the rules could also be justified with the argument that this was what the law established, and she defended that judges were citizens with freedom of expression and the capacity to analyze reality. She said she would continue to express her opinions and write as long as the law allowed her and that she would block those whom she indicated did not debate with respect. #Constitución #Derecho #Política (translated)
