David Ágape wrote that the Attorney General of the Union, Jorge Messias, used an official profile with a seal and link to the AGU to campaign for Lula. He stated that Messias followed a direction from André Janones and criticized the conduct as subservient to the president. Ágape said that, about six months earlier, the AGU, then led by Messias, had published a guideline stating that public agents could not use the prestige of their position or institutional visibility to promote candidacies nor confuse personal manifestations with official positions. According to him, the official channels of the AGU were also restricted during the election period. The author recalled that Messias had been nominated by Lula to the Supreme Court but was rejected by the Senate. Ágape stated that this was the first rejection of a presidential nominee to the Court since 1894. He also questioned whether a revelation attributed to the outlet A Investigação would have influenced the rejection: according to the cited report, Messias signed an AGU opinion favorable to aspects of late abortion and later reportedly cried and said he signed without reading. In the end, Ágape stated that Messias would be close to leaving the position and suggested he would return to acting as a messenger for his political group. https://t.co/KMq0Oyg2R9 #Política #Brasil #AGU (translated)

Rafael Narbona said he didn’t know if Podemos was responsible for the failure of a unified left candidacy, but he argued that the party had acted poorly by allowing, directly or indirectly, its supporters to insult and harass those who criticized their leaders on social media. He stated that, although he had criticized the PSOE many times without suffering similar attacks, he had received them from the far-right, from Podemos supporters, and from independents. He also described nationalism as reactionary and pointed to the emergence of Alianza Catalana, whose proposals he considered similar to those of Vox. Narbona recounted that it had been falsely claimed that Podemos helped him when they tried to evict him, clarifying that he lived in a house he owned. He also maintained that Podemos had not created the left or feminism and that it had weakened the left with demagoguery, inconsistencies, and a strategy that, in his view, prioritized identity disputes over social demands. He added that he considered it legitimate to live in a chalet and send his children to a private school, but he criticized those options and then resorted to them. Finally, he said that the noise from Podemos supporters on social media mattered less than electoral results and that their belligerence contributed to strengthening the far-right. He stated that he would continue to express his opinions and explained that he had limited responses to avoid insults and falsehoods. #Podemos #Izquierda #Ultraderecha (translated)
