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)

Guilherme Cortez criticized the website that Flávio Bolsonaro created to combat fake news and contested the proposal to adjust the minimum wage only for inflation. He stated that this correction would restore losses, rather than represent an increase, and said that Flávio's father adopted this policy for four years until Lula resumed increases above inflation. Cortez also predicted that, under Flávio, anything that was not cut would remain stagnant, especially salaries. #FakeNews #SalarioMinimo #Economia (translated)

Rick Azevedo wrote that Flávio Bolsonaro had spoken about spiritual warfare in a church, but according to him, he did not mention that his proposal for workers would be to negotiate directly with the employer and receive proportional amounts of salary, vacation, 13th salary, and FGTS.

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)

Gustavo Martínez wrote that Vox proposed to considerably reduce the state and asked to know how that measure would be financed. To refer to those who, according to him, benefited from public spending at the expense of workers, he used derogatory language. He added that it was not enough to announce cuts and demanded figures on revenue. Martínez listed a proposal for income tax of 0% up to €22,000, 15% between €22,000 and €70,000, and 25% above €70,000. He also mentioned reducing corporate tax and VAT—from 21% to 18% in the general rate and from 10% to 8% in the reduced rate—setting the tax rate on basic foodstuffs at 0%, and eliminating taxes on wealth and on inheritances and donations. He also pointed out a 100% exemption for self-employed workers whose income did not reach the minimum wage. #Economía #Finanzas #Impuestos (translated)

Emilio Baena, former tax inspector, explains that inspectors can earn a gross salary of up to 110,000 euros, with 80-85% of this amount being fixed for attendance at work, while the remaining comes from bonuses related to the number of cases, which could lead to problems if the administrative resolutions are later modified by the courts. #Hacienda #Salario #Funcionarios (translated)

Gabo criticized what he considered a contrast: someone baptized in the Catholic Church, who attended catechism, received confirmation, and married in the church, would be seen as inadequate, while a candidate who attended a church with a VIP area and black walls, where, according to him, the equivalent of 10% of the salary was requested, would be favored. https://t.co/Nx9taGd3B3 #IgrejaCatólica #Cidadania #Ética (translated)
