Dawisson Belém Lopes said he was engaged in the fight and believed in a turnaround, but stated that he trusted in the strength of the progressive forces even if the worst happened. According to him, politics went beyond elections, and the progressives were coming together again, regaining the pride of resistance, respect for Brazil, and the appeal among the youth. Lopes stated that the collaborators of what he called the "Vichy Republic" would soon be marginalized and said he did not lose sleep over them. He also wrote that Brazil was not an island and predicted that the global wave of the far-right would lose strength with the decline, which he classified as irreversible, of Donald Trump. In his assessment, betting on the Republican Party was a sign of misinformation or blind ideological adherence, and the appreciation for Miami or Orlando did not justify this strategic error. In closing, he quoted Gabriel García Márquez and wished a happy October 12th. #Política #ForçasProgressistas #Brasil (translated)

Carlos Bolsonaro stated that new scandals were revealed daily and interpreted the attempt to distance Jair Bolsonaro and his children from public life as a means to regain political alliances in the name of defending democracy. He said that "all the pieces" were on the board.

According to Carlos, this situation would serve to restore the "scissors theater" and cater to obscure personal interests, preventing Brazil from becoming a powerhouse. He concluded that the legacy of the former president would not be erased and that his sacrifice had awakened the nation. #Democracia #Brasil #Liberdade (translated)

Wilson Lima stated that two images symbolized the election. According to him, Ana Elisa, a Black woman who allegedly said on social media that not going to Carnival was a racist gesture, advocated for the end of prejudice against Black Brazilians. Lima wrote that after being elected, she appeared in a silk blouse and tailored trousers, incorporating, in appearance, the "whiteness" she had criticized, which was part of Lula's campaign. Regarding Cleitinho, Lima said that he was from the Republicans, a conservative, right-wing party, but not Bolsonaroist, and had declared support for Flávio Bolsonaro. He stated that Cleitinho used to participate in public events wearing a very worn football team shirt and would go to Congress like that. According to Lima, he wore a suit and tie out of obligation, maintained a simple life, and had a modest house in BH. Lima asked if readers noticed the difference and stated that some intellectuals did not understand why the right had gained so much ground in that year's elections. #Eleições2023 #Política #Sociedade (translated)
