"It is necessary to say that this is not just some isolated episode in his past that we are now bringing to light. Petr Markvart has long maintained close contacts with people who are not only pro-Russian but are repeatedly used by Russian propaganda for its activities," says investigative reporter Lukáš Valášek from SZ, who has recently shed light on Markvart's connections and activities together with his editorial colleague Kristina Ciroková. #ProruskáPropaganda #PetrMarkvart #BezpečnostníKonference (translated)

Ed Raposo stated that, after the events of the previous day, Ciro Nogueira also wanted to get closer to Flávio. He said that Nogueira spent four years in the Lula government, did not take sides in the first round, and, after failing to get re-elected to the Senate, was seeking support. Raposo expressed hope that the rapprochement would not progress and argued that Nogueira should be removed from politics. #Política #Eleições #Brasil (translated)

Lukáš Valášek stated that the Chief of General Staff of the Czech Army, Miroslav Hlaváč, canceled the patronage of the conference several hours after the publication of his text, which had previously been granted by his representative. According to Valášek, this occurred after he and Kristýna Ciroková described in Seznam Zprávy the connections of the organizer, former StB collaborator Petr Marvart, to pro-Russian actors. At the conference, representatives of the Czech Army were supposed to discuss, among other things, air defense; Valášek reminded that experts had warned about Russian air attacks on NATO. https://t.co/FzoMc116zp #ČeskáArmáda #RuskéHrozby #Bezpečnost (translated)

Ivan Kleber stated that Lula was improving his performance abroad by 2 or 3 points compared to 2022. He attributed this difference to the fact that Ciro and Tebet had taken votes away from Lula in the first round. Kleber said that Flávio maintained or even surpassed his father's performance compared to 2022 and assessed that this trend should be repeated in Europe. However, for him, these results indicated little about the final outcome. #Lula #Eleições2024 #Política (translated)

It also noted that the three-point difference between the leaders was not fully covered by the reported margin of error, which was ±2 points, and that formal interpretation depended on the specific margin and methodology of the survey. According to the published technical sheet, the survey was commissioned by O POVO and conducted on October 2 and 3, 2026, with 1,560 interviews, a margin of error of ±2 percentage points, a confidence level of 95%, and registrations with the TSE CE-09234/2026 and BR-06469/2026. #Eleições2026 #Ceará #Datafolha (translated)

Kamil Krilov ironically portrayed the situation in which Matocha was supposed to leave for a birthday celebration of a coal baron in the Caribbean without prior investigation, to congratulate Tykač there, and return to Prague after a few days, without seeing a conflict of interest in that. Krilov stated that Matocha was either not telling the truth or behaving exceptionally unreasonably, or possibly both. He added that, in his view, it was not a coincidence that such people were no longer sitting on the Council of Czech Television, and he expressed disgust at the situation. https://t.co/8GyehxWy8C #oslava #život #příběh (translated)

Felipe Leme wrote that the surveys from the PT, the PL, the centrão, and the financial market indicated a consensus on a high abstention rate the following Sunday. He stated that, in 2022, an abstention rate 2.4% higher would have led Lula to win in the first round, just as it would have happened if he had received half of the votes from Tebet and Ciro. Leme said that Zema and Caiado should have withdrawn in the first round or that the votes from their supporters needed to be converted, and he stated that there were 48 hours left to seek. #Eleições2023 #Abstenção #Democracia (translated)

🚨 Mensagens extraídas do celular de Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, indicam que José Dirceu, braço direito de Lula, tinha acesso direto ao banqueiro. 🤝 O intermediário era o advogado Ciro Soares. Em fevereiro de 2025, ele repassou a Vorcaro um convite de Dirceu para o aniversário do petista, em 11 de março, num restaurante em Brasília. Vorcaro confirmou presença e chegou a dizer que iria à cidade só para isso. Não há registro, porém, de que ele tenha de fato ido à festa. 📩 No mesmo dia, Vorcaro mencionou ter falado com uma "menina da Band" e disse que resolveria na semana seguinte um "pedido dele". A mensagem não diz qual era o pedido. Na época, Dirceu articulava seu retorno à direção do PT e a sucessão no partido. ✈️ No dia seguinte à festa, Soares pediu uma carona para Dirceu no jato de Vorcaro até São Paulo. A resposta foi um "claro", com o horário ficando a critério do petista. O voo foi combinado para o meio-dia, e o próprio Vorcaro depois contatou Dirceu diretamente. 📅 Cerca de duas semanas depois, o BRB, banco estatal de Brasília, aprovou a compra do Master. A crise de liquidez e as suspeitas sobre a gestão do banco já eram conhecidas. O Banco Central depois barrou o negócio. 🏛️ Segundo a reportagem, era um período de intensa articulação de Vorcaro em Brasília, que incluía a busca de uma nova reunião com Lula e contatos com Paulo Gonet e Alexandre de Moraes. ⚖️ Após ser preso em novembro, Vorcaro contratou três advogados que já defenderam Dirceu, entre eles Roberto Podval. Podval é sócio de Dirceu e o maior doador pessoa física da campanha dele nesta eleição, com R$ 400 mil.ele repassou a Vorcaro um convite de Dirceu para o aniversário do petista, em 11 de março, num restaurante em Brasília.

O conselho do MPF que esta julgando o Gonet esta decidindo que nao existe provas que o Gonet mandou mensagens para que Ciro (advogado de Vorcaro) enviasse ao Vorcaro. Que Ciro estava pagando de maluco encaminhando mensagens ao vorcaro, como se fossem do gonet. Eu juro... eles estao nos tratando como macacos com smartphone na mão. É inacreditável o que esta acontecendo! #Justiça #MPF #Ciro

Muito se fala do Vorcaro supostamente bancando milhões pro Dark Horse, Flávio Bolsonaro, Nunes Marques, Ciro Nogueira, Eduardo Bolsonaro... Mas pouco se fala do mais importante: A paciência que o Vorcaro tinha pra manter esses contatinhos todos no zap cobrando pagamentos. #Política #Brasil #ZapZap
