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)

Leandro Ruschel stated that a reporter from Veja considered that the attention given to the recording published by the magazine would be diverting focus from more serious allegations based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone. According to Ruschel, the reporter said that messages from 2024 and 2025 would indicate a collusion with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa, Petrobras, and Correios to raise R$ 10 billion, of which R$ 1 billion would be destined to the PT as a bribe. The account also mentioned more than 450 messages with an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha. Ruschel said that, according to the report, Banco Master entered in May 2024 a government list that would allow it to receive investments from the funds, despite having low credit ratings and being under investigation for fraud. During the same period, the bank reportedly negotiated R$ 500 million in credit letters with Caixa; the operation retreated after O Globo reported, in July 2024, the removal of two managers who had issued a negative opinion. The report also claimed that Padilha had said, in a meeting at the Palácio do Planalto, that agreements made with Olavo Noleto would count as agreements with the minister himself, and that, after dinner at Vorcaro's house in October 2024, the banker received a message saying that Lula would meet him and had liked the conversation. According to Ruschel, the reporter stated that Lula received Vorcaro in December and that messages from lawyer Walfrido Warde suggested pressure on the Central Bank to save Master. He added that Vorcaro would have presented the account to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which had refused to receive the material, and that there would be evidence involving PGR members who had contact with the defense. Ruschel said that the reporter argued that Vorcaro should be heard and warned of the risk of diverting workers' resources to save the bank. #Corrupção #Política #Justiça (translated)

Felipe Moura Brasil shared the transcription of a reporter from Veja who defended a report amid the reactions to the publication of a recording. The journalist stated that, in addition to the audio, the article was based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone before he formalized a plea deal proposal. According to the reporter, Vorcaro had already presented a third proposal to the PGR, but the agency did not want to listen to him. In the transcription, the reporter claimed that messages from 2024 and 2025 indicated that Vorcaro had intermediaries at the Palácio do Planalto who were working with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica, Petrobras, and Correios. He asserted that the objective was to raise 10 billion reais from these funds, with 1 billion reais earmarked for bribes to the PT, as part of an agreement to save Banco Master. He also said that an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha sought fund executives and that meetings had been organized to facilitate the bank's operations. The reporter further stated that, in May 2024, Banco Master entered the so-called "exhaustive list," which, according to him, allowed the funds to invest in the institution. At the same time, he said, the bank was negotiating credit letters worth 500 million reais with Caixa Econômica. According to the journalist, the operation did not progress after the newspaper O Globo reported, in July 2024, that two managers from Caixa had been removed for issuing a negative opinion. He added that Vorcaro had reported, in a plea deal proposal to which the report had access, that Padilha and other PT members backed down after the case was disclosed. #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)
