Chicago Boy wrote that he dined the night before with a right-wing advisor to Lecornu, whom he described as profoundly disillusioned by the exercise of Macronist power. According to this interlocutor's assessment, the failure of Macronism was attributed to the political origins of its leaders, most of whom came from the left, particularly the Socialist Party, the Rocardian movement, or the CFDT, and were influenced by its values. Chicago Boy believed that this legacy led Macronist leaders to only half-heartedly pursue right-wing policies. He cited the replacement of the ISF with an IFI, which he deemed almost as counterproductive, the numerous exceptions to the pension reform that would have limited savings before it was suspended, as well as the promise to eliminate 100,000 public sector jobs, whereas their number had actually increased by 200,000. He concluded that one should never vote for the soft center. #Macronisme #PolitiqueFrançaise #GaucheDroite (translated)

Let's talk about vulnerable subjects – continues Grossi, who signed the note along with lawyers Vita Maria Ippolito, Riccardo Marceca, Vito Livadia, and Salvatore Accardo – entrusted to a healthcare system that turned out to literally be a hell on earth.

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)
