The former American president, Barack Obama, was in Lisbon and advocates for the need for leaders who value a common humanity and respect democratic values and equality. Despite praising the European Union, Obama warned that the slowness of democratic processes can drive the reliance on authoritarian leaders and, without directly naming the current president of the United States, Donald Trump, he reminded that the American Constitution prevents the head of state from initiating a war without the prior approval of Parliament. #Notícias #ArábiaSaudita #DonaldTrump (translated)

Jeffrey Chiquini stated that the reform of the Judiciary should eliminate political appointments to the higher courts. He said that a Judiciary made up of politicians in robes would not be independent and advocated for judicial independence as a condition for impartiality. Chiquini declared that, in the first week of the legislature, he would call public hearings to start discussions and present proposals for the reform of the justice system. According to him, entities from the sector, state and national associations of the judiciary, associations of the Public Prosecutor's Office, the Bar Association, and the Public Defender's Office would be invited. He also advocated for the appreciation of career judges, which he described as a right and a guarantee of society, and said that he would seek to restore legal security. #ReformaJudiciária #Justiça #IndependênciaJudiciária (translated)

"We have reached barbarism, animality: we shoot a human being as if it were a public spectacle. We have gone back ninety years, to the last time a man was hanged in public in the United States. It is truly shameful." With these words, Vincenzo De Luca, in his usual weekly Facebook live address, comments on the decision announced by U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whom he referred to as "the slicked-back one." What is happening in the United States with the current ruling group at the helm of the country is pushing the world towards levels of barbarism and loss of fundamental human values that leave us truly shocked." The mayor of Salerno describes the announcement as a return to practices that the United States had abandoned for almost a century, and harshly criticizes the Trump administration: "What is happening in the United States with the current ruling group at the helm of the country is pushing the world towards levels of barbarism and loss of fundamental human values that leave us truly shocked." We will have a political season that will record the further fragmentation of the political landscape of our country. Every election campaign eve sees the birth of new lists, new groupings, all that series of nonsense and hypocrisies that serve simply one purpose: to guarantee a candidacy to as many people as possible – he continues – I happened to particularly observe "Civic Project." I called it "Civic Opportunism": it is a way to try to create spaces for candidacy. That’s all." De Luca then comments on the eve of the Italian electoral season, targeting the political formation promoted by Alessandro Onorato, which continues to gather support even in Campania, including from regional councilors so far close to the former president of the Campania Region: "We will have a political season that will record the further fragmentation of the political landscape of our country. I have been repeating for decades that there is a condition of total anomaly in Italy. When you need to make political choices on major issues (healthcare, transportation, taxation, justice, foreign policy), you can have two different positions, three, four, five hypotheses for solving problems or lines on which to position yourself to tackle the issues. But you can’t have twenty lines of economic policy, twenty healthcare policies, twenty transportation policies." They pretend to contribute to the governance of the country, but in reality, they are great charades and initiatives of opportunism that simply serve to open spaces for the candidacies of a few characters in search of an author." #VincenzoDeLuca #Elezioni #PoliticaUSA (translated)

I believe that this initiative by Fai is of extreme importance, especially at this moment, because it enhances what is a heritage of our country, therefore its productive culture made up of brands that have made their way in the world. It is a system of excellence and quality that allows us to grow in times of global crisis. Adolfo Urso, the Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, played host during the presentation at Palazzo Piacentini: "I believe that this initiative by Fai is of extreme importance, especially at this moment, because it enhances what is a heritage of our country, therefore its productive culture made up of brands that have made their way in the world. It is a system of excellence and quality that allows us to grow in times of global crisis." #FAI #CulturaItaliano #PatrimonioArtistico (translated)

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the Brazilian far-right was attacking Deputy Ana Elisa with lies and defamation for criticizing Flávio Bolsonaro's program. According to him, Bolsonaro advocated for ending retirement and the BPC, interrupting the appreciation of the minimum wage, altering the constitutional floor for health and education, and raising the prices of gasoline, electricity, and water. Manoel classified the program as a cause of death, misery, hunger, unemployment, and national destruction. He also said that those responsible would try to legally prevent the circulation of the video and requested that it be viewed before being taken down. #AnaElisa #DireitosHumanos #Justiça (translated)

To all of them, I say to always keep that enthusiasm with which they presented themselves to us these days; it is contagious and good for us older ones as well. Our task is to help them channel their abilities and ideas in the best way possible, so that these projects do not get lost along the way. The first season impressed me; Forward was a project we had imagined, and seeing it become a reality was very rewarding. What struck me most about the startups was their determination to continuously improve. This is precisely the spirit we want to carry forward. These are years in which even the world of football is opening up to innovation and technology without limits and prejudices; in this case, Juve is ahead not only at the Italian level: "The first season impressed me; Forward was a project we had imagined, and seeing it become a reality was very rewarding. What struck me most about the startups was their determination to continuously improve. This is precisely the spirit we want to carry forward," Chiellini's applause. He has always been a pioneer on and off the field; innovation is brilliant and must be one of our core values in the future. #calcio #startup #innovazione (translated)
