Glenn Greenwald stated that sectors of the left and their allies in the Supreme Court censored and imprisoned opponents under the justification of combating fake news, while André Janones published a book in which, according to him, he bragged about using fake news to help Lula in the 2022 elections. Greenwald said that Janones began to be treated as the main communication strategist for this group. The journalist compared the case to the rachadinha: he asserted that sectors of the left previously described the practice as one of the most serious crimes, but that deputies from the PT and PSOL protected Janones in the Chamber after he was caught doing the same. #FakeNews #Eleições2022 #PolíticaBrasil (translated)

He is a political mafia; it is the state mafia. The president of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who spoke before Feijóo, insisted that Spain is going through a "dark stage with a president who is a true cheater, who does not respect the rules of the game or the separation of powers, who uses the Constitutional Court dictatorial against the Supreme Court, kidnaps the institutions, uses the Permanent Commission in a twisted way and has the Upper House gagged. He does not respect the limits, wants to eliminate the judges, and uses the Tax Agency against his opponents." #Feijóo2026 #EleccionesEspaña #Democracia (translated)

Janaina Paschoal stated that she found it curious to see people on the left asking for votes for Lula. She said that the situation would be different if they had acknowledged what she called abuses against the protesters of January 8, pointed out the illegality of inquiries and processes against opponents, and denounced that Bolsonaro should not have been sentenced to 27 years in prison. According to her, supporting decisions she considered wrong and unfair removed the authority to argue about other matters. Paschoal said she hoped that Largo São Francisco, which she claimed had bowed to "non-law," would realize this, even if it did not admit it. #Política #Lula #Bolsonaro (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that images from an assembly at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba showed speeches against Flávio Bolsonaro and in defense of Lula's reelection. She said that organizations had announced more than 40 acts at universities across the country and criticized statements that, according to her, advocated for the radicalization of activism and referenced the kidnapping of an ambassador during the dictatorship. Michelin recalled that American ambassador Charles Burke Elbrick was kidnapped in 1969 by members of the ALN and MR-8, and not by the National Union of Students (UNE). She also classified predictions about a potential victory of Flávio Bolsonaro as false and alarmist, stating that the remarks about loss of rights and threats to democracy did not present concrete measures to support them. She mentioned that she did not question the right of students to protest or support candidates but criticized speeches that, in her view, replaced arguments with slogans and romanticized armed struggle. Michelin advocated for universities to shape professionals, researchers, and free citizens and stated that glorifying guerrilla practices and treating opponents as enemies denied democracy. #Educação #Democracia #Política (translated)

Thanks to the bold actions of President Trump, Venezuelan oil, which was previously stolen from the people of Venezuela and sold at a discount to our adversaries, is now flowing to the United States in record volumes. The renewed alliance between our two countries is revitalizing the Venezuelan oil industry through solvent private investments and providing a greater supply to the U.S. and global markets.

Felipe Leme wrote that those elected by the right had received a mandate that, according to him, went beyond opposing trans bathrooms: restoring legal security and respect for institutions. He stated that millions of Brazilians viewed the last years as a period of abuse of power, weakening of the rule of law, and legal instability, and that they had sent a message at the polls the previous Sunday. Leme argued that parliamentarians should investigate and hold accountable, within the law and with due process, all those who, according to him, abused their power to persecute, silence, and imprison opponents. He said that the rigor applied to more than a thousand elderly people should serve as a benchmark for everyone and urged the elected officials not to accept agreements or remain silent. He also warned that voters could withdraw the power they had granted and that history would reserve an ungrateful place for those he considered cowards. The publication ended with a vulgar expression of rejection toward Valdemar. #Brasil #Justiça #DireitosHumanos (translated)

Paulo Kogos said that, before taking office in ALESP, he would begin to fulfill the campaign promise of providing legal support to the right.

According to Kogos, the person could appeal to the courts if they believed they had been a victim of slander, defamation, or another offense. He also stated that the right should not accept attacks without a legal response. #Direita #Justiça #Lawfare (translated)

Deltan Dallagnol stated that he had been prevented from campaigning while his opponents could attack him freely. According to him, voters in Paraná recognized what he considered an injustice and continued to keep him at the top of the polls.

He also stated that his name and number would be on the ballots on Sunday and asked his supporters to share the video. #Luta #Justiça #Eleições2023 (translated)

According to the journalists from Globo, Lula should have passively accepted the trap of debating against four opponents at the same time. The fourth of these, Zema, entered through a court order that, curiously, generated no "legal insecurity" and did not violate the democratic process. Then, when Lula decided not to go to the debate, the format "one against all" turned into "all for one" and everything was fine. It was maintained! The game goes on! Long live democracy! Well. It only took the third place candidate in the polls, Renan Santos, to get a court order to ruin the end-of-year match between Flávio Bolsonaro and Friends of Flávio Bolsonaro, for the PL candidate to contradict himself (once again!) and withdraw from participation. Debate maintained? Not at all. What if Renan causes some embarrassment to Vorcaro's big brother, right? The network then canceled the debate and the narrative changed: "it's the end of the world!"; "it's the toga dictatorship!"; "legal interference!"; "never before in the history of this country!"... I understand. And I, naïve, thinking they were worried about the advertising budget of the BETs. #Lula #Democracia #Debate (translated)

For those who haven't stopped to reflect: The debate was a format created so that candidates, in the era of television and radio, could present their ideas and confront their opponents. This was before the internet era. Today, if you want to know a candidate's proposals, just follow their profile. There's Google, YouTube, podcasts, interviews, live streams, and thousands of tools available. The debate is no longer essential for voters to know a candidate. Proposals and positions are available all the time on social media. Whether or not to attend a debate does not prevent anyone from knowing ideas, proposals, or positions. In this sense, the format has become archaic. In my view, what Globo tried to do was not simply aimed at strengthening democracy or allowing people to get to know their candidates. It seemed much more like a little circus in favor of Flávio. What would Globo's interest be in protecting him? I don't know. But for me, there is something strange happening there. Those who wanted to know Lula's proposals went to Flow and had hours to hear what he thinks. However, Flávio did not offer that alternative at that moment because he canceled his participation in the debate after the decision involving Renan. So, we can't sell the idea that the big problem for democracy was Lula not being in the debate, while Flávio himself decided not to participate when the scenario became uncomfortable for him. And that's how the game is. #Debate #Eleições #Democracia (translated)
