Jones Manoel stated that 14 young people from Gravatá, in the interior of Pernambuco, were detained on Saturday (October 10) after a lambe activity in the streets, and that there was an attempt to frame the case as electoral crime. He said that the activists were denouncing actions by Flávio Bolsonaro and disputed the accusations of disseminating false news, stating that the material had journalistic foundation. Manoel described lambe-lambe as a historical form of popular communication used by social movements, artists, and political organizations to bring ideas and denunciations to the streets. He argued that any issues regarding heritage, property, or the use of public space should be addressed through legal means, without intimidation or selective criminalization. The author also stated that the actions of the activists were being treated as a police case, while other forms of advertising occupied the streets, and attributed to Bolsonaro's supporters a systematic strategy of intimidation to block the political change he advocated. #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Militância #LambeLambe (translated)

Fede Sturzenegger stated that a tweet from Flor Carignano about DNU 70/23 showed, in his opinion, that Kirchnerism was against the benefits that the norm had granted to Argentines. He described it as a force protecting the "elite" and claimed that its proposals would lead to stagnation and poverty. In defending the decree, Sturzenegger said that after the repeal of the Rental Law, four times more apartments were being published and that prices had dropped by more than 30% in real terms. He also stated that, since the DNU, the prices of medications had fallen by 20% in real terms; domestic tickets by 51%; and tourist packages by 40%. He added that in 2025 there were 33 million passengers and that international connections from cities in the interior increased by 70%. Regarding foreign trade, he attributed part of the 63% drop in appliance prices and the 43% drop in textiles to the changes in the decree. He also said that more than 750,000 satellite internet connections allowed access for almost 3 million people in the interior, and that tourism reforms had increased the number of agencies by almost 40% and employment in the sector by more than 10%. Sturzenegger pointed out that some labor and land provisions had been taken to Congress, while others had been challenged in court. He stated that the DNU had removed trade restrictions, reduced paperwork, and allowed contracts in the chosen currency, among other changes. He concluded that the debate about the decree should be kept in mind in the elections of the following year. #DNU70 #Kirchnerismo #Argentina (translated)
