Rodrigo Constantino

Rodrigo Constantino stated that, like Zema, he would vote for any alternative to Lula. He also said he believes Flávio would be a good president, highlighting his unifying profile and stating that a more right-leaning Senate would be important for promoting necessary changes in Brazil. #Política #Eleições2024 #Brasil (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that the northeastern population would still be liberated from the influence of the PT. He said that Lula received more votes in poor areas and accused the party of wanting to keep the population in poverty to exchange votes for state benefits. #Nordeste #Política #PT (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino wrote that the "Lula of the second round" would oppose Lula's positions on issues such as fiscal responsibility, the relationship with the Supreme Court, and abortion, as well as other agendas defended by the Workers' Party. He accused this stance of revealing a lack of shame. #Lula #Oposição #Política (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that anti-PT sentiment remained stronger than the communication strategy of the Planalto and that Flávio had surpassed his father in absolute votes in 2018 and 2022. According to him, Lula would reach the second round as a worn-out president, with inflation projected above 5% according to Focus and a Congress that was no longer his. Constantino also said that the votes from the third way — from Cury, Renan, and Caiado — would tend to migrate more to Flávio than to the PT. He assessed that betting on an unprecedented turnaround contradicted electoral history and arithmetic. #Política #Eleições2024 #Antipetismo (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that he would explain on BBC radio why, in his view, the Lulista left suffered a significant electoral defeat. He attributed the result to inflation, violence, corruption, corruption in the Supreme Court, and international isolation. #Política #Brasil #Eleições (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that Polymarket had performed much better than the polls in the first round, which, according to him, showed that the market was functioning. He said that the betting market assigned an 84% chance to Flávio's victory in the final result and predicted that Lula would be retired soon. https://t.co/r9FXrFSvt3 #Política #Eleições2022 #Apostas (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that anyone who did not perceive, in his assessment, the unfair actions of the MBL/Missão was naive and out of touch with politics. He said that Renan would need Lula's victory to try to present himself as an opponent to the PT in 2030, when, according to him, the "scissors theater" would return. Constantino added that Renan's goal would be to defeat Flávio, regardless of the country. #política #Brasil #MBL (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that, after recent actions that he called "system rudeness," Flávio's lead on Polymarket had nearly halved. He said that gamblers feared a large-scale fraud to benefit a political opponent whom he referred to disparagingly. https://t.co/5C8hg66Abh #Política #Apostas #Justiça (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that there was no electoral debate, but rather guardianship, and claimed that a court prohibited the absence of the incumbent from being shown. He said that another minister put a candidate on stage whom he considered of little relevance to disrupt the event and harm Flávio Bolsonaro, leading the broadcaster to cancel the debate instead of submitting to it. According to Constantino, Lula would benefit from exchanging the televised confrontation for a friendly podcast at the same time, while voters were treated as minors by the judiciary. He also accused Estela and Gilmar of changing the rules on the eve of the vote to control the narrative and described the situation as a coup. #LiberdadeDeImprensa #Eleições2024 #Democracia (translated)

“Itamaraty is 'at the service' of Lulinha's partner. O Globo and CNN reveal that the Brazilian Embassy in Madrid helped lobbyist Roberta Luchsinger, a friend of Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, Lulinha, in the search for schools in the Spanish capital. The Itamaraty confirmed the support: the then ambassador Orlando Leite Ribeiro met Luchsinger and Renata Abreu Moreira, Lulinha’s wife, at a commercial promotion event in September 2024, and the educational sector of the embassy provided school contacts. In January 2025 the diplomat stated he was 'entirely at their service.' Messages mention offers of people and vehicles; the ministry denies the use of official cars and classifies the assistance as routine for Brazilian citizens. Laughter. Luchsinger did not move. Lulinha moved last year and remains in Spain, according to the defense. The same column by Malu Gaspar had already noted that the lobbyist organized, according to the Federal Police, a trip worth R$ 1.8 million for Lulinha and the family to see the Northern Lights. Calling this 'routine assistance' is mockery. The embassy is not a concierge for a president's child or a lobbyist circulating around the family. Taxpayers fund representation abroad to defend national interests, not to create a school list in Madrid while the firstborn settles in Europe. It’s the same old pattern: the public at the service of the family's private interests, with an official note saying that there was no irregularity. The abuse of purpose is exposed. The little bearded ones at Itamaraty need to go!” #Itamaraty #Corrupção #Educação (translated)

There is no mystery. A Supreme Court that got involved in politics, social media, endless investigations, and electoral campaigning is now reaping what it has sown. When ministers become characters in a banking dossier, the robe ceases to be an authority and becomes a political asset. Lulism has always treated the Supreme Court as a trench. The problem is that the trench has started to fire inward. Those who defend the rule of law do not ask for a cosmetic "code of conduct." They ask for limits. A judge is not a legislator, nor a censor, and is not a banker’s partner. Impeachment now! #STF #Impeachment #Justiça (translated)
