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)

Jeje questioned why the Electoral Public Ministry had not yet requested the annulment of Flávio Bolsonaro's slate. He stated that the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) had a consolidated understanding that the use of churches and religious leaders to promote candidacies could constitute an abuse of power and lead to the annulment of the registration and the ineligibility of those involved. He cited a decision from the TSE as an example, according to which statements made from the pulpit during public worship and in front of a large audience indicated that the structure and religious authority had been used to promote candidacies, and not only for spiritual purposes (TSE. Rel. Min. Antônio Carlos Ferreira. AREspe 0600354-26.2024.6.26.0220). He also mentioned Article 24, Item VIII, of the Electoral Code, which prohibited parties and candidates from receiving donations, including through advertising, from charitable and religious entities. #Eleições2024 #JustiçaEleitoral #AbusoDePoder (translated)

Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas criticized the PT and the left, stating that they were neglecting the situation in the Amazon. He said that São Paulo demonstrated that a right-wing government could reconcile environmental preservation and development. According to Freitas, in 2025 the area affected by fires in state conservation units fell by 91% compared to 2024. He also stated that in August 2026, the state recorded the lowest number of hotspots for that month since the beginning of the historical series in 1998. He mentioned that more than R$ 400 million had been mobilized to prevent and combat wildfires, with investments in technology, satellite monitoring, and artificial intelligence. The governor also declared that over 44,000 hectares were in the process of forest restoration and that 13.2 thousand hectares had been incorporated into state protected areas. Regarding river recovery, he cited R$ 22 billion in investments in IntegraTietê, more than 1.5 million households connected to the sewage network, and 6.5 million cubic meters of sediments removed from the Tietê basin. According to him, the organic pollution load of the river had decreased by almost 30%, and the pollution stain had receded by 33 kilometers, about 16%. Freitas stated that these actions had not impeded economic development, job creation, and the growth of São Paulo, and he argued that environmental protection depended on responsibility and work, not ideology. #MeioAmbiente #DesenvolvimentoSustentável #SãoPaulo (translated)

Pedro Menin wrote that, after the Ana Elisa episode, his sources said that Lula's campaign had considered the possibility of him withdrawing from the candidacy and letting Geraldo Alckmin take his place, in an attempt to keep the PT in power. According to Menin, this hypothesis was motivated by the lower rejection of the vice president, and Lula and Janja would take on ministries. Menin stated that, according to Article 77, § 4 of the Constitution, a candidate who withdraws before the second round could not be replaced, and that Augusto Cury, as the highest remaining candidate, would enter the race. He also cited Article 13 of Law 9.504 and said that the substitution rule would only apply if the new registration was requested up to 20 days before the election, except in cases of death; for the second round, the constitutional rule would prevail. He stated that members of the campaign were angry and desperate in the face of a defeat they considered imminent, and said that just a few weeks earlier, no one believed in this possibility. Menin also predicted that Lula would be humiliated and that his political career would come to an end on the 25th, presenting the contest as a “Holy War” between what he called the people of God and the PT. #Lula #Eleições2024 #PolíticaBrasil (translated)

Xico Graziano stated that a report by the magazine VEJA about supposed payments linked to Lula had provoked a reaction within the PT. According to him, PT members denied the accusations, said there was no evidence, and echoed a contestation from the Federal Police. In summarizing the report, Graziano said that banker Vorcaro reported having negotiated with João Vaccari Neto, former treasurer of the PT, payments to obtain access to pension funds for federal employees. According to the excerpt of the article he shared, it would amount to R$ 30 million in cash destined for the Lula Institute to fund a documentary about Lula abroad, in addition to another undisclosed amount paid directly to the institute, managed by Paulo Okamotto. Graziano added that Vorcaro had provided details to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which did not proceed with the case as it deemed there was insufficient evidence. The banker’s defense, according to the account reproduced by the author, mentioned WhatsApp messages and records of withdrawals and deliveries of money. Graziano expressed belief that VEJA would not publish the report without confidence in the material and assessed that the published piece would merely be a preview of new revelations. He considered the story credible, although there might not be definitive proof, and compared the case to the Atibaia site, which, according to him, was not registered in Lula's name in the registry office. In Graziano's view, the report would harm the PT and Lula's campaign, discouraging voters and causing some to give up on voting. He stated that the case would reduce Lula's chances of reversing a defeat in the first round. #Lula #Petismo #VEJA (translated)
