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)

Karina Michelin stated that the cover of the October 10 to 16 edition of *The Economist* featured the phrase “The Bolsonaros are back” and that the editorial described Brazil as a right-wing country. According to her, the magazine, which had made severe criticisms of Jair Bolsonaro, did not express support for the family but acknowledged a political shift in the country. Michelin wrote that after the first round, Flávio Bolsonaro entered the decisive race ahead of Lula, with about 47% of the valid votes against 45%. She said that the magazine considered him the favorite for October 25 and projected his victory. The author also attributed to the publication the assessment that the PL expanded its presence in the Senate and the Chamber, while the right consolidated its space in the largest electoral colleges. According to Michelin, the magazine linked Lula's decline to the cost of living, debt, fiscal difficulties, scandals, and the loss of strength of his discourse among young people. Michelin stated that the dominance of the PT faced a rupture that, in her view, could not be explained solely by anti-PT sentiment or by the figure of Jair Bolsonaro. Although Lula was still contesting the presidency and the ballots of October 25 would provide the final result, she concluded that the right was not a passing wave and that Brazilians had brought the Bolsonaros back. #Brasil #Política #Eleições (translated)

In a text published by Blog do Noblat, Renato Meirelles assessed that the first round showed the strength of anti-PT sentiment, but that Lula should lead the debate against Flávio Bolsonaro towards a comparison of their proposals for everyday life, instead of turning it into a plebiscite about the PT. Meirelles stated that the electorate of class C, especially young people, began to value not only salary but also autonomy and free time. As an example, he cited the 6x1 work schedule: according to him, Flávio positioned himself against its end, while Lula was in favor. He noted that Flávio had advantages in the discussion about public safety and stated that Lula should not ignore the topic. The author also wrote that it was not enough for Lula to say that Jair Bolsonaro was worse or to point out economic indicators that voters were still not perceiving at home. In the end, he classified the Senate president as the biggest campaigner for the second round. #Lula #Eleições2024 #Antipetismo (translated)

Figures like Lula are very rare. Not only because he is the first president from the working class and the greatest popular leader in our history, but for everything he represents and for all the transformation he brought to this country. There is a Brazil before Lula and a Brazil after. Those who know this country, those who know history, know what I am talking about. I, from the Northeast, son of a bricklayer, living in a boarding house in my childhood, was doomed to repeat the sad trajectory of all those who preceded me. But in the middle of the way, there was Lula. And with him came the chance to become the first in my family to attend university. With him came the possibility for my family, who worked hard their whole lives and never achieved anything because the country didn’t provide opportunities, to ascend socially. With him came the own house, our first car, our first plane trip, our first international trip, our second apartment. This man changed my life. Changed the lives of tens of millions. Brought dignity, hope, and the right to dream for the workers of our country. I always say that Lula's contribution to Brazil is already made. He has already done much more than what is expected of a single man. A boy from the countryside who came out of misery, shining shoes in the streets, to become the reorganizer of the trade union movement, to lead the fight against the dictatorship, to become the president who took the country out of the hunger map and ended the scourge of drought. Lula is 80 years old. He should be resting. That baton should have been passed to us on the left a long time ago. But we didn't do it. And there he is again, at 80 years old, trying to save this country once more. An extraordinary figure, who owes nothing to the greatest fighters of the popular classes in recent centuries. I respect those who will vote for Hertz, Samara, Edmilson Costa. But frankly? I lament those who will miss the opportunity to vote, for the last time, for a giant of history of Lula's magnitude. The radical left will still recognize the greatness of this man. Probably only after he is no longer among us – as usually happens, by the way. But I am sure that the realization will eventually come. #Lula #História #JustiçaSocial (translated)

There is no mystery in Lula's retreat. Whoever has been governing for almost twelve years combined does not want to be charged for gross debt at 82.9% of GDP, record household delinquency, and the transformation of the Supreme Court into an electoral committee. Petism prefers the controlled platform, the Bolsa Família, and the narrative of "threat to democracy." Flávio accepts the risk of confrontation. An election that defines four future seats in the Supreme Court cannot be decided through retreat and the apparatus of the state. Sunday is the 22nd. #Lula #Política #Eleições (translated)
