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)

Verônica Domingues stated that she never advocated for nudity as empowering or revolutionary and said that, as a Marxist, she did not consider any individual action capable of promoting a revolution. For her, showing breasts was an expression of sexuality or part of her work with adult content, and no work would be empowering under capitalism. The author said that blaming women for their objectification for wearing short clothes or posting nude photos was misogynistic, and emphasized the importance of consent. Regarding publishing images with a Lula sticker during the campaign, she assessed that this would probably not change votes, but argued that art did not need to have only a utilitarian purpose. Domingues also stated that she used other social networks, including Instagram and TikTok, to raise awareness and bring the left closer to Marxism. She criticized radical feminists who, according to her, treated sex as immoral and scrutinized the bodies of women who consented to appear nude. She also said that the revolution depended on the collective organization of the working class, not on showing or covering breasts. #Feminismo #Marxismo #DireitosDasMulheres (translated)

"Democracy 21 is 'the fix', something as simple as it is revolutionary." González has announced that, in these first elections, they will run only in the constituencies of Madrid and Barcelona and, in future elections, in "all provinces", since, as she herself has stated, they are a national project. #Democracia21 #Elecciones29N #MiriamGonzález (translated)

Rafael Gloves criticized what he described as the defense, by a "typical revolutionary," of an octogenarian returning to power for the fourth time. He stated that, along with Dilma, this would maintain more than two decades of promises without true social achievements and a history of theft from the people themselves. The author used a derogatory term to refer to Brazilians and concluded the post with laughter. https://t.co/Ww2ZOCkmU7 #PolíticaBrasileira #Corrupção #Eleições2024 (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that images from an assembly at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba showed speeches against Flávio Bolsonaro and in defense of Lula's reelection. She said that organizations had announced more than 40 acts at universities across the country and criticized statements that, according to her, advocated for the radicalization of activism and referenced the kidnapping of an ambassador during the dictatorship. Michelin recalled that American ambassador Charles Burke Elbrick was kidnapped in 1969 by members of the ALN and MR-8, and not by the National Union of Students (UNE). She also classified predictions about a potential victory of Flávio Bolsonaro as false and alarmist, stating that the remarks about loss of rights and threats to democracy did not present concrete measures to support them. She mentioned that she did not question the right of students to protest or support candidates but criticized speeches that, in her view, replaced arguments with slogans and romanticized armed struggle. Michelin advocated for universities to shape professionals, researchers, and free citizens and stated that glorifying guerrilla practices and treating opponents as enemies denied democracy. #Educação #Democracia #Política (translated)

Jones Manoel wrote that, after the election and Flávio Bolsonaro's defeat, it would be necessary to promote a broad debate about Luide, Soberana, Ian Neves, digital communication, and popular and revolutionary organization. He also advocated for an assessment of the last four years and the 2026 election, focusing on building a mass communist movement that would place the Brazilian Revolution at the center of the political strategy of workers. Manoel requested that the focus be maintained and noted that Luide was not a militant, political, or party leader, nor did he present himself as an intellectual dedicated to shaping the course of the Brazilian left. In the end, he called for calm. #Revolução #Esquerda #Comunismo (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that a large-scale fire destroyed laboratories and research at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) on the night of Wednesday, October 7. According to her, the rector Alfredo Macedo Gomes estimated the damages at R$ 100 million. The author said that, before the conclusion of an investigation into the origin of the flames, the case was already politically associated with supporters of Flávio Bolsonaro. She linked this association to the circulation of anonymous screenshots with threats attributed to Bolsonaro supporters, released by elected federal deputy Jones Manoel from the PSOL party. According to Michelin, he announced that he would request investigations from the Federal Police and the Federal Public Ministry, but there was no confirmed identification of the authors, public authentication of the conversations, or evidence presented that linked the threats to the fire. Michelin also mentioned protests organized by university entities at UFPE on October 6, following the results of the first round, which, according to her, consolidated the advance of the right in Congress. The author questioned who produced and published the screenshots and why political accusations emerged before the conclusion of the investigations. She argued that the hypothesis of a "false flag" should be investigated, including the possible fabrication of political accusations, and stated that using anonymous messages to politically condemn someone without proof could escalate tensions in the country before the second round. #IncêndioUFPE #LiberdadeAcadêmica #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Lady Gaga wrote that the previous night in Brazilian politics had left many people tired, sad, and afraid of the future, but she urged them to resume mobilization after a period to process the result. She said that the runoff between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro would be decisive and that the small difference in the first round made every vote important. The author advocated for conversations with undecided people, those who didn’t vote, or were distant from politics, willing to listen to their concerns and without treating them as enemies. She also stated that the election concerned the rights, freedom, and dignity of LGBTQIA+ people, minorities, women, Black people, and workers. She mentioned that she had made herself available to Lula’s team to help with the campaign and asked her readers to do the same. Quoting a phrase attributed to Gaga about the moral obligation to improve the world, she encouraged them to rest and return to the fight. #Eleição2022 #LutaPelaDemocracia #VotoConsciente (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that it was necessary to mobilize in the second round to defeat Flávio Bolsonaro and ensure Lula's reelection.
