Nicolas Redondo Terreros questioned the actions of the members of the Constitutional Court in the approval of the amnesty and argued that they had favored Pedro Sánchez and Carles Puigdemont. He claimed that the measure had served to secure the seven independentist votes necessary for Sánchez to remain in La Moncloa and rejected that its purpose had been to pacify Catalan society or facilitate political agreements. The author said that if the Supreme Court ruled against it, the Constitutional Court would still have to pronounce on the so-called "grandchildren's law." He also maintained that the magistrates had lost prestige and had acted in the service of a leader who, according to him, lacked scruples and threatened democratic balances. Redondo Terreros responded to Cándido Conde-Pumpido's assertion that going against the Constitutional Court was going against democracy. In his view, criticizing the court's management and its intervention in the Supreme Court's realm was also a way to defend it. #Constitución #Democracia #Justicia (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the Bolsonaro family wanted to return to power after, according to him, running a government marked by corruption, privatizations, attacks on labor rights, and genocide during the pandemic. He said that Flávio Bolsonaro was trying to present himself as an alternative despite the history attributed to him of kickbacks, alliances with militia members, and the handing over of Brazilian wealth, including rare earths, to the United States. Manoel defended confronting bolsonarism, national sovereignty, and the centrality of the working class in political struggle. #ForaBolsonaro #Bolsonarismo #SoberaniaNacional (translated)

Madrid is losing prestige and legitimacy. They tried to condemn us before judging us, and it is being proven that there was nothing behind the accusations against us. You go to the institutions, you go to UEFA, you go to the EuroLeague, and they are against everything and everyone. The other day I was at the Congress, at the General Assembly of the European Football Clubs, and they didn't even have representation. It says a lot about the attitude of a club that is losing prestige, recognition, and credibility at the national, state, and international levels. It's evidence. They opt for a very arrogant, very haughty attitude. They know what they're doing. They should engage in self-criticism. In my opinion, he had a great season. Furthermore, he has won very important titles like the League and the World Cup. He is a very sincere, very direct, and very young guy. The truth is that Lamine is enthusiastic, and I understand that sometimes he expresses himself this way. In fact, there is a sort of competition. Perhaps before, with Messi and Cristiano, this didn't happen as much. For me, there was always uncertainty, although Messi had to win because he was the best, but they didn't publicly position themselves. Now it's a different way of handling the matter, and I think it shouldn't be blown out of proportion; it's a very human reaction from a 19-year-old who is going to make history in football. We'll see how it goes because there is absolute secrecy involved. We all tried to talk to France Football, and there's no way for them to leak anything. He got injured, came back, and has recovered here. The doctors say he will be available for the match in Paris. These are situations we have to accept. We have a team that enchants by playing football from Madrid; they try to downplay all of this. #Laporta #FCBarcelona #BalónDeOro (translated)

Arthur Machado stated that what was happening in France was part of a project to weaken national sovereignties across Europe. According to him, after the Great Depression of 1929, neoliberals would have advocated for the end of nations as a way to reduce instability, transferring economic decisions to a global structure and leaving political and social management to the states. Machado said that tariffs bothered globalists because they presupposed borders and economic sovereignty. He also linked the proposal by Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan to strengthen Europe economically and militarily to Mario Draghi's plan, which he claimed sought to centralize European economic, financial, and military power. The author stated that the goal would be to transform Europe into a state, with an integrated financial system, army, common institutions, and centralized power, reducing the full sovereignty of France, Germany, and other countries. He attributed this project to liberals and described it as a transfer of power from nations to supranational structures. #França #Globalismo #SoberaniaNacional (translated)

Eduardo Bolsonaro celebrated Sachsida's statement that he would not privatize Banco do Brasil, Caixa, and Petrobras. He asserted that in a scenario he described as "post-liberalism," each country had its own view on which sectors were strategic, citing JD Vance as an example. Bolsonaro said he did not advocate for statism but believed that energy and the control of sectors capable of boosting the economy and the quality of life for Brazilians should not serve interests other than public ones. For him, the discussion involved sovereignty and the ability of Brazilians to decide their own future and how to achieve their goals. #Privatização #Soberania #Economia (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that Meta admitted to a flaw in the counting of video views on Instagram during the second round of elections and that, until then, it had not clarified which content was affected, the extent of the problem, or whether the distribution of posts was harmed. He said that Instagram and Facebook had a significant influence on the circulation of information, while the criteria of their algorithms remained little transparent. He argued that digital and data sovereignty should occupy a central position in Brazilian politics and that foreign companies should be subjected to transparency, oversight, and accountability. Manoel also stated that Brazil needed to develop its own capacity to protect data and ensure algorithmic transparency. He said he intended to put the topic at the center of the debate in the National Congress in 2027 and rejected, in his words, that the country should be treated as the backyard of the United States. #SoberaniaDigital #Algoritmos #Transparência (translated)
