Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas criticized the PT and the left, stating that they were neglecting the situation in the Amazon. He said that São Paulo demonstrated that a right-wing government could reconcile environmental preservation and development. According to Freitas, in 2025 the area affected by fires in state conservation units fell by 91% compared to 2024. He also stated that in August 2026, the state recorded the lowest number of hotspots for that month since the beginning of the historical series in 1998. He mentioned that more than R$ 400 million had been mobilized to prevent and combat wildfires, with investments in technology, satellite monitoring, and artificial intelligence. The governor also declared that over 44,000 hectares were in the process of forest restoration and that 13.2 thousand hectares had been incorporated into state protected areas. Regarding river recovery, he cited R$ 22 billion in investments in IntegraTietê, more than 1.5 million households connected to the sewage network, and 6.5 million cubic meters of sediments removed from the Tietê basin. According to him, the organic pollution load of the river had decreased by almost 30%, and the pollution stain had receded by 33 kilometers, about 16%. Freitas stated that these actions had not impeded economic development, job creation, and the growth of São Paulo, and he argued that environmental protection depended on responsibility and work, not ideology. #MeioAmbiente #DesenvolvimentoSustentável #SãoPaulo (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that the removal of dozens of Colombians linked to drug trafficking from the list of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) could be justified if those individuals had genuinely distanced themselves from drug trafficking, and he considered it a sovereign decision by the United States. On the other hand, he argued that the list had become an instrument to prevent Benjamin Netanyahu from being tried for genocide. He said that the United States had included on it eight of the 17 judges of the International Criminal Court, UN officials like Francesca Albanese, organizations defending the rights of Palestinians, and himself for denouncing the genocide in Gaza. He also noted that on August 18, 2026, Tomoko Akane, president of the ICC, was sanctioned, whom he described as a prominent Japanese jurist. Petro claimed that the list had lost global legitimacy and called on countries and their citizens not to comply with it. He urged the international human rights movement to launch a campaign to remove all affected individuals, including himself, and criticized aviation companies for hindering his free movement for defending the rights of the Palestinian people. Finally, he maintained that the list was used to persecute politically identified civil groups, something he characterized as a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute. He asserted that those participating in that persecution should be prosecuted before the ICC. #DerechosHumanos #Narcotráfico #Justicia (translated)
