The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

Lázaro Rosa stated that a report from Veja recycled information and did not present evidence of Vorcaro.

Karina Michelin wrote that a CNN report released on Tuesday, October 6, pointed out that a faction of the Supreme Court (STF) was seeking dialogue with bolsonarism after the election, in light of the new composition of the Senate and the possibility of impeachment of ministers. According to the investigation by Jussara Soares and Caio Junqueira, cited by Michelin, Flávio Bolsonaro’s circle reportedly identified signs of a possible negotiation to spare ministers of the Court in exchange for the review of Jair Bolsonaro's imprisonment and the acceptance of amnesty for those convicted for January 8. Michelin stated that the PL party rejected the proposal and, according to CNN, did not intend to negotiate the permanence of Alexandre de Moraes in the STF. The party was reportedly working to promote his impeachment in 2027. In the PL's calculations, there would be 49 favorable votes for his removal in the new Senate, five less than the 54 considered necessary. Flávio Dino was also on the party's radar, depending on his actions. Michelin added that, according to Caio Junqueira, Michel Temer's support for Flávio Bolsonaro was interpreted as one of the first gestures to establish bridges. Temer appointed Moraes to the STF in 2017 and, according to the report she cited, would be a political link between the minister and the Bolsonaro family. The author noted that the impeachment of STF ministers has become an explicit electoral agenda for Flávio Bolsonaro and that the right also concentrated efforts on the election of senators, who are responsible for processing and judging Supreme Court ministers for crimes of responsibility. Michelin argued that any attempt at an agreement would have to take into account that millions of Brazilians voted to change the balance of power in the Senate. She advocated for Brasília to respect the electoral results, reestablish limits between the branches of government, and seek to pacify the country. #Brasil #Política #STF (translated)
