Victor Garcia stated that, for Flávio, it would be indifferent to tell one or fifty lies and called him a mythomaniac. He said that whoever bought his used car would have to deal with the consequences. Although he considered the economic policy of the PT to be very bad, he stated that he was not taking risks and compared Flávio's posture to betting everything blindly. In the end, he summarized the situation as a matter of choices. #Política #Mentiras #CarrosUsados (translated)

He also congratulated on the Day of Hispanicity and the Day of the Virgin of Pilar, and expressed his support for Spain. #DíaDeLaHispanidad #CulturaEspañola #HistoriaEspañola (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that crowds took to the streets and mobilized on social media, contradicting, in his assessment, the idea that it would be difficult to mobilize majorities. He said that Bolsonaro's administration proposed radical cuts to public services but then backed down, and he assessed that Lula could do more to win back those who were disappointed with the government. https://t.co/SNrooxpuNR #Mobilização #Política #Liderança (translated)

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)

Maddalena Loy had recalled a phrase attributed to Goebbels about the repetition of lies and had defined the accusation from the opposition that the Meloni government had cut funding for public health as false. Loy had contested the data from the Gimbe Foundation, led by Nino Cartabellotta, on the 18.8 billion euros of “invisible cuts.” According to her reconstruction, the figure did not indicate resources taken away from hospitals but the difference compared to what would have been allocated had the ratio between the national health fund and GDP of 2022 remained unchanged. She argued that Gimbe’s headline had led publications like Repubblica to present the figure as an actual loss and called that interpretation a political attack on the government. In comparing allocations, Loy pointed out an increase of 8.2 billion euros between 2011 and 2019, under the Monti, Letta, Renzi, Gentiloni, and Conte governments; of 11.6 billion euros between 2019 and 2022, during the Conte government; and of 17.5 billion euros between 2022 and 2026, with the Meloni government, which would raise the fund from 125.4 to 142.9 billion euros. She described the latter as the largest accounting increase in peacetime. Loy also mentioned monthly increases of around 400 euros for doctors, peaking at 600 euros, a plan to hire 1,000 doctors and 6,300 nurses, coverage of over 2,000 new services, and a flat tax of 15% on overtime for doctors and nurses. She finally contested the statements of Senator Castellone on L’Aria che tira regarding cuts to healthcare. #SanitàPubblica #GovernoMeloni #FakeNews (translated)

Reinaldo Azevedo resorted to "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus to say that the Military Police of São Paulo showed that suicide was not the only relevant philosophical issue. He stated that after surviving oneself, someone still wouldn't know if they would survive Tarcísio de Freitas, and claimed that 27 shots were fired at a suicidal person. Azevedo added that Tarcísio did not like philosophy. #Filosofia #Suicídio #Reflexão (translated)

Tsuki found it "sensational" that the magazine Veja had directly accused Lula's campaign of spreading false news against the publication. He then summarized the arguments from a response by the magazine regarding its report about Vorcaro. According to the text from Veja reproduced by Tsuki, Vorcaro's lawyer would have confirmed the authenticity of the audio, and the magazine stated that it removed five short statements — 15 seconds in total — to protect the source. The publication also clarified that it did not say that the audio was included in the plea bargain nor that the confession was made to the Federal Police. Regarding the PGR, the magazine claimed that Vorcaro, through his lawyers, presented an account regarding the funding of a documentary about Lula and promised to deliver documents if the plea bargain was accepted, which did not happen. Tsuki also stated that some outlets were using "jurists" in their headlines to conceal, according to his assessment, that the coordination of Lula's presidential campaign was spreading false news against Veja's cover story. #PolíticaBR #FakeNews #Eleições2022 (translated)

Dr. Nina Kojima wrote that it was justified to express dissatisfaction and distrust towards the political direction of RTV Slovenia and to call for a fundamental reform of the public service. She expected the government to implement the reform differently than former Prime Minister Golob, who had announced a "cleaning of RTV Janšism." She added that she was the first on the list herself. Kojima accused former Minister of Culture Asta Vrečko of not protecting her, even though, according to her, RTV Slovenia fell under the jurisdiction of the ministry. She wrote that Vrečko, based on the information she had, was looking forward to the list of those who were laid off. She claimed that they were politically removed, sidelined, and harmed, also describing the insulting attitude towards them. She emphasized that the abolition of the RTV fee would not in itself mean the reform for which, in her view, strategy, effort, and determination were needed. According to her, Slovenia needs a national media that serves the public, reports according to fundamental journalistic principles, and prioritizes facts over comments from ideological speakers. Kojima also wrote that she had lived and grown up with RTV for at least four decades and that the employees were mostly creative, hardworking, and decent intellectuals. Before the referendum, she urged people to consider the consequences of past layoffs for individuals, children, and families. She expressed a wish that she and her family would be among the few affected, and that her former colleagues and their families would not have to endure similar experiences. In conclusion, she called for a public service and government that would act virtuous and not vindictively. #Slovenija #RTV #javniservis (translated)

Jarosław Królewski appealed to the fans of Legia, Wisła, Lech, and other clubs. He wrote that for over 30 years of modern Polish football history, no one has briefly described the phenomena related to the fans' movement. He criticized some fans for, in his opinion, their superficial understanding of patriotism and loyalty, as well as for building an image of cunning despite issues with the Polish justice system. Królewski accused this part of the community of exploiting and subordinating weaker individuals, including young people from difficult life situations. He wrote that fans should not ruin their lives in the name of violence, crime, and pseudo-honor principles, and expressed hope that his post would reach at least one per mille of young people facing important decisions. At the same time, he emphasized that the majority of the Polish fans' movement is made up, in his opinion, of valuable people who support their clubs, help others, and organize social initiatives. He considered the minority that represents violence and the subordination of the weaker as a higher form of fandom to be a problem. He encouraged the audience to love their clubs, defend values, and think independently. He added that he was not interested in any pacts being made. #futbol #patriotyzm #lojalność (translated)
