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)

Alexsander Silva criticized the way Vasco handled the match and said that the team did not take advantage of the opportunity to win and relieve the pressure at the bottom of the Brasileirão table. According to him, even the usual starters seemed to play without fully committing. Silva stated that a victory would have allowed for resting players later on, but that, with this setback, the team would have to continue seeking points in the league while competing in crucial cup matches. In his assessment, the result did not bring any benefit and further harmed Vasco. #Futebol #Vasco #Brasileirão (translated)

Lázaro Rosa claimed that Flávio Bolsonaro had asked the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) to take down the channel he called "Lula's Army," which, according to him, had more than 3 million subscribers.

He also positioned himself against censorship. #EXERCITODOLULAEMCAMPO https://t.co/K5zD5abMDN #CensuraNão #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Democracia (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)

The signals are contradictory: Trump claims that the U.S. will not attack Iran before the midterm elections. Trump has made various statements and has now said that the war may resume, but only after the midterm elections. In his speech at the UN General Assembly in September, Trump threatened to "obliterate the Islamic Republic" if there is no agreement. Trump claimed at a campaign rally this week that the leaders in Iran are under such pressure that they are ready to give in. What Trump cannot get past is that when the U.S. began the bombing war against Iran in February, together with Israel, he broke his explicit campaign promise not to engage the U.S. in a new "endless war." Trump boasted of great successes and declared victory repeatedly. #Iran #USA #Trump (translated)

Palmeiras expressed indignation at Flamengo's official statement and stated that the Rio club tried to pressure the refereeing before this Sunday's Derby (11). According to Palmeiras, by publicly questioning Anderson Daronco's performance at Vila Belmiro and mentioning that he would referee the classic, Flamengo cast doubt on CBF's lineups and embarrassed the referee. The São Paulo club argued that Daronco should not be pressured by events from a previous match and should be able to work impartially. They also stated that clubs could discuss refereeing in CBF forums or express themselves publicly, but they should do so responsibly. Palmeiras said that communications that, in its view, exceeded the limits of healthy debate undermined the credibility of the competitions. #Palmeiras #Futebol #Arbitragem (translated)

Palmeiras expressed indignation at the statement released by Flamengo on Friday (9) and asserted that the Rio club was resorting to old strategies to pressure the refereeing at a decisive moment in the season. They also attributed repeated unethical conduct to the current management of Flamengo. According to Palmeiras, by publicly criticizing referee Anderson Daronco for supposed errors at Vila Belmiro and mentioning that he would officiate the Derby on Sunday (11), Flamengo cast doubt on the CBF's appointments and embarrassed the professional. The club stated that Daronco should not be subjected to external pressures or carry the weight of a previous match into the classic. Palmeiras said that the CBF offered institutional forums to discuss refereeing decisions and conduct and defended that public statements should be made responsibly. The club also condemned announcements that, in its view, exceeded the limits of debate and called into question the credibility of the competitions. Suggested insinuations against referees, it added, did not help promote respect among the institutions and professionals in football. #Palmeiras #Futebol #Arbitragem (translated)

Flamengo stated that the officiating by Anderson Daronco and the VAR official, Rodolpho Toski Marques, had serious errors and inconsistent criteria in the match against Santos. The club said that Barreal should have been sent off for a tackle on Carrascal but only received a yellow card. Flamengo also challenged the penalty decision and the expulsion of Jorginho after a handball. According to the club, the incident caused a stoppage of 9 minutes and 56 seconds, a record interruption in a VAR review in the history of the Brasileirão. The team stated that the decision left them a player short and removed Jorginho from the next match. A few minutes later, according to Flamengo, another penalty was awarded to Santos after a foul that should not have occurred, resulting in the second goal for the São Paulo team from the penalty kick. The club also mentioned the numbers of the championship: in 29 matches, they had received seven red cards, the second-highest total in the competition, despite being in 17th place in the foul ranking and leading in average ball-in-play time. Flamengo claimed to be one of the three teams that committed the fewest fouls yet still the second most expelled. The statement also noted that Daronco and Toski were scheduled for the classic between Palmeiras and Corinthians on Sunday and requested that the rules be applied with rigor and impartiality. The club added that they were among the five finalists for the Best Men's Club of the Year award at the Ballon d'Or and stated that officiating errors harmed the results and the image of Brazilian football. #Arbitragem #Futebol #Brasileirão (translated)
