Jones Manoel compared Flávio Bolsonaro's interview on Rede Globo to the presidential debate of 1989 between Fernando Collor and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, which, according to him, the network manipulated to favor Collor. Manoel stated that the interview was not a rigorous inquiry but a public relations effort for Bolsonaro, asserting that the candidate was able to lie and evade questions without being challenged. As an example, he cited Bolsonaro's statements about the 6x1 scale and about not cutting pensions, the BPC, the minimum wage, health, and education. Manoel claimed that the interview presented a candidate as a defender of workers who, according to him, supported measures against Pix, pensions, the BPC, the minimum wage, the SUS, and education. He also criticized the lack of questioning regarding the subordination to the United States and about proposals attributed to people close to Bolsonaro, such as ending Pix, handing over rare earths to the United States, and allowing the presence of American military personnel in Brazil. The author said that the owners of Rede Globo had lunch with Bolsonaro that morning and asserted that the interview had apparently been arranged. According to Manoel, the candidate appeared calm and would already know the questions. He accused the network of defending the interests of the elite and imperialism and supporting Bolsonaro, to whom he attributed the promise to end investigations into Banco Master and prevent punishments for what he called the greatest fraud in the history of Brazilian capitalism. #1989 #Mídia #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the National Congress enacted a constitutional amendment that created special retirement rules for community health agents (ACS) and endemic disease control agents (ACE). He said that during his pre-campaign, he contributed to mobilizing the categories in defense of the measure. Manoel also reported that his mandate program provided for a national minimum wage, public competitions, job stability, and career plans for ACS and ACE. According to him, in addition to a decent retirement, better working conditions were necessary. The author said he intended to give more space in Congress to the struggles of workers in Brazil in the following year. #SaúdePública #Aposentadoria #Trabalhadores (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that Flávio Bolsonaro would privatize Petrobras and that the measure would greatly increase the prices of gasoline and diesel. He also said that Brazil had already faced fuel shortages before the company's creation and that privatization could bring this problem back, adding that this would be the goal of those who supported it. #Privatização #Petrobras #Combustível (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that during the interview with Lula held the previous day, a journalist from Rede Globo did not mention the end of the 6x1 schedule and said that the topic seemed forbidden. He claimed that Flávio Bolsonaro, if elected, would reverse the end of this schedule, implement a 7x0 work schedule, and eliminate vacations, thirteenth salary, maternity leave, and other labor rights. Manoel also questioned whether the questions for Flávio's interview had been agreed upon, mentioning that the candidate would have lunch with the owners of Rede Globo before the interview. He asked if the network would question him about cuts, attacks on pensions, BPC, SUS, public education, and the minimum wage, in addition to the privatization of Petrobras, which according to him could raise gasoline prices to R$ 10 per liter. Finally, he stated that the bourgeois media was on the side of the bourgeoisie and imperialism, against the workers. #Mídia #DireitosTrabalhistas #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Manoel said he discussed the matter in an interview on PodJá that day. https://t.co/EuZ28yo66L #Política #Jornalismo #Escala6x1 (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that President Lula had announced a constitutional amendment to ensure zero fare on transportation during weekends. He mentioned that he was in Brasília the previous week and presented the proposal to Lula's campaign coordination as a central issue for the election and to defeat Flávio Bolsonaro. Although he considered the initiative important, Manoel advocated for zero fare every day, the expansion of the metro-rail system throughout Brazil, and state-operated transportation. He also stated that the measure should not transfer public funds to private companies and called for better working conditions and wages for bus and metro workers. He said he wanted to elect Lula and ensure full zero fare. #TarifaZero #Brasil #Lula (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the Senzala Cultural Movement had organized mobilization activities and distributed leaflets in the following days, with the aim of supporting the reelection of President Lula. He said that Jaboatão had been governed for years by Bolsonaro-supporting families who, according to him, had destroyed the city, and he advocated for increasing dialogue with the population to combat Bolsonarism and its projects. Manoel also stated that his candidacy had been the second most voted in the municipality and said that this showed that workers would no longer accept attacks from the same families. #Lula2024 #Jaboatão #Mobilização (translated)

Jones Manoel wrote that young Atikum reported death threats against leaders of the Olho D’água do Padre village, in the Atikum Indigenous Land, following a reoccupation of the Curumim daycare. According to a statement from the Atikum Gameleira Young Activist Group (GJAAG), people associated with the administration of Mayor Elisinho Soares, from Carnaubeira da Penha, made the threats. The statement said that the reoccupation was a community decision, made after intense political persecution by the administration during the electoral period. Manoel also stated that violence against Indigenous peoples was increasing in Brazil and cited 258 murders in 2025, compared to 211 in 2024. He advocated for the complete preservation of the rights of Indigenous peoples to their territories and self-determination, and positioned himself against oligarchies and coronels who, according to him, perpetuated the extermination of populations, ways of life, and indigenous knowledge. #DireitosIndígenas #JustiçaSocial #Ativismo (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the judiciary of Minas Gerais accepted a request from Flávio Bolsonaro to investigate federal deputy Ana Elisa for allegedly spreading fake news. He accused the judiciary of acting selectively in the electoral process to favor Bolsonaro's candidacy and compared the case to the transmission channel "Tropa de Flávio," which, according to him, spread lies without facing consequences. Manoel said that the Electoral Justice was investigating a deputy from the PT in Minas Gerais for making criticisms and concluded that state institutions were not neutral. In his assessment, they were acting to lead Flávio Bolsonaro to the government and allow the adoption of a program of radicalization of neoliberalism and the transformation of Brazil into a neocolony. #Justiça #Política #Brasil (translated)

Jones Manoel stated, on Teacher's Day, that the date should also serve to demand better conditions for the category, of which he is a part as a historian. He said that fewer and fewer people wanted to work in education and attributed this to overload, low salaries, what he considered excessive targets, devaluation, and threats to the safety and integrity of professionals. Manoel stated that in 2027 he would be in Congress advocating for a 30-hour work week without a salary reduction, decent working conditions, career plans, physical and mental health and safety, more public competitions, and the end of precarious contracts. He also advocated for the repeal of the New Spending Cap and all austerity policies, saying that this was fundamental for the future of education and teachers in Brazil. He stated that he wanted to make teaching again a profession desired by young people and emphasized its importance for history, national memory, and the development of the country. #Educação #Professores #DiaDosProfessores (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the cuts threatened health, education, pensions, the BPC, and public services. He advocated for intensifying the campaign in the streets and online, in addition to dialoguing and listening to people to explain why, in his view, Flávio Bolsonaro's political program represented a death project for Brazil. Manoel said he believed that the campaign could turn around and win. #Saúde #Educação #Brasil (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that reports circulating indicated that WhatsApp's Meta AI was creating campaign images for Flávio Bolsonaro but refused identical requests related to Lula. He classified the episode as manipulation by Meta and said that the case reinforced the need for digital and data sovereignty. He also stated that the actions of large technology companies represented foreign intervention in the country, with the complicity of the Judiciary. Manoel said that, despite what he called an attack, his group would win the second-round election on the 25th. He asked for votes for number 13 and stated that this would ensure better conditions for the struggle starting in 2027. #SoberaniaDigital #FlávioBolsonaro #BigTechs (translated)

Manoel argued that national sovereignty depended on digital sovereignty and data, and stated that the political, economic, and cultural life of the country should not be left in the hands of large companies linked to U.S. imperialism. He said that starting in 2027, digital and data sovereignty and Brazilian reindustrialization would be priorities of his mandate. #SoberaniaDigital #Eleições2022 #BigTechs (translated)
