Xico Graziano stated that a report by the magazine VEJA about supposed payments linked to Lula had provoked a reaction within the PT. According to him, PT members denied the accusations, said there was no evidence, and echoed a contestation from the Federal Police. In summarizing the report, Graziano said that banker Vorcaro reported having negotiated with João Vaccari Neto, former treasurer of the PT, payments to obtain access to pension funds for federal employees. According to the excerpt of the article he shared, it would amount to R$ 30 million in cash destined for the Lula Institute to fund a documentary about Lula abroad, in addition to another undisclosed amount paid directly to the institute, managed by Paulo Okamotto. Graziano added that Vorcaro had provided details to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which did not proceed with the case as it deemed there was insufficient evidence. The banker’s defense, according to the account reproduced by the author, mentioned WhatsApp messages and records of withdrawals and deliveries of money. Graziano expressed belief that VEJA would not publish the report without confidence in the material and assessed that the published piece would merely be a preview of new revelations. He considered the story credible, although there might not be definitive proof, and compared the case to the Atibaia site, which, according to him, was not registered in Lula's name in the registry office. In Graziano's view, the report would harm the PT and Lula's campaign, discouraging voters and causing some to give up on voting. He stated that the case would reduce Lula's chances of reversing a defeat in the first round. #Lula #Petismo #VEJA (translated)

Flávio Gordon summarized an article from Veja stating that Vorcaro allegedly negotiated payments with Vaccari to gain access to pension funds of federal employees controlled by the PT. Gordon claimed that Vorcaro would have paid a bribe to the party in exchange for access to the pension funds of state-owned companies, which, according to him, would be equivalent to taking money from retirees. He also questioned whether Flávia Oliveira would show concern for retirees. #Corrupção #Petismo #Aposentados (translated)

Freu Rodrigues stated that the magazine Veja had access to reports from banker Daniel Vorcaro, in which he allegedly said that he negotiated payments with former PT treasurer João Vaccari Neto to gain access to the pension fund resources of federal servers controlled by the party. https://t.co/82kZZsYmM9 #Corrupção #Política #Brasil (translated)

Alejo Vidal-Quadras stated that, in light of Pedro Sánchez's background, it should not be ruled out that he would try to manipulate the voting on November 29. He also asked why a spokesperson for the PP had said that the mail-in vote was controlled, in contradiction with other party leaders. Additionally, he urged Feijóo to renew his team and do away with people who, in his opinion, felt inadequate in the face of the left. #PolíticaEspañola #PedroSánchez #Feijóo (translated)

Guga Noblat stated that Vorcaro was "squeezing the 22 hard" and said that Veja released an audio in which he would have reported negotiated payments to access pension funds controlled by the PT and to finance Lula's film. According to Noblat, the PGR ignored the complaint due to lack of evidence. He also wrote that, in the first plea bargain proposal, Vorcaro wanted to implicate only the PT and leave out Flavinho Rachadinha and his 61 million, as well as Ciro Nogueira, Fábio Faria, and other politicians — a proposal that was allegedly rejected. Noblat criticized Veja for giving prominence now to a report that, according to him, had been shelved for not being proven. #Corrupção #Política #Justiça (translated)

Vinicius Carrion stated that a report from Veja cited accounts from a banker about negotiations with a former treasurer of the Workers' Party (PT) to gain access to pension funds that, according to the text, were controlled by the party. Carrion also mentioned that the article pointed out off-the-books payments for a film about Lula, while the film about Bolsonaro supposedly received regular sponsorship. #Corrupção #Política #Lula (translated)

André stated to VEJA that Vorcaro would have paid bribes to access pension funds of federal workers controlled by the PT and transferred 30 million to the Lula Institute. According to André, Vorcaro would have considered the money destined for Lula’s film “wrong,” but not for Flávio, as it was requested as sponsorship. André classified the case as brutal. #Corrupção #Política #Brasil (translated)

Jakelyne Loiola stated that VEJA had access to reports from banker Daniel Vorcaro, in which he allegedly said he negotiated with former PT treasurer João Vaccari Neto payments to gain access to pension funds for federal employees controlled by the PT. According to Loiola, Vorcaro reported having paid R$ 30 million in cash to the Lula Institute, managed by Paulo Okamoto, to finance a documentary about Lula abroad, in addition to another undisclosed amount directly to the institution. She said Vorcaro brought the details to the Attorney General's Office, which did not pursue the case due to a lack of evidence, since the payments were said to have been in cash. According to the publication, the defense claimed to have WhatsApp messages, records of who withdrew the money, and information about the locations and routes of the deliveries. #Lula #Corrupção #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Leonardo Jardim stated, after the 2-2 draw between Santos and Flamengo, that the team lost two points by failing to react and committing two unnecessary penalties. He said that Flamengo was winning 2-0, was closer to extending the lead, and had the game under control, but he took responsibility for the loss of points and considered the penalties justified. According to Jardim, the penalty and Jorginho's expulsion changed the match. #Santos #Flamengo #Futebol (translated)

Gustavo Tutinha wrote that the information presented in the follow-up of the Judicial Recovery detailed the financial situation of Vasco and the SAF in 2026. According to him, the updated balance of loans was R$ 287.9 million: R$ 282.4 million in principal and R$ 5.5 million in interest and adjustment. Of this total, R$ 84 million corresponded to Crefisa and R$ 203.9 million to Almirante. Tutinha reported that the loan from Crefisa had a yield of CDI + 7% per year and quarterly amortizations until September 2028. Of the contracts with Almirante, R$ 156.5 million were updated by the CDI, maturing in December 2027, and R$ 47.4 million by the INPC, with maturities in July and August 2027. In July and August, according to him, two loans were contracted with Almirante Participações, of R$ 40 million and R$ 5.6 million, both with a single payment due in 2027. The operation of R$ 40 million also provided for a fiduciary assignment of part of the LFU receivables linked to the commercial appeal criterion. The consolidated tax debt of the recovering companies was approximately R$ 271 million and reached R$ 334 million with adjustments, fines, and interest, wrote Tutinha. During negotiations with the PGFN, Vasco and the Prosecutor's Office supposedly agreed to temporarily reduce the installments of the installments to R$ 580 thousand monthly until the consolidation of a new transaction. The cash balance reported on August 31 was R$ 5.6 million. Between January and August, the cash flow recorded R$ 201.4 million in receipts related to economic rights of athletes, according to Tutinha. Rayan accounted for R$ 171.9 million; Leandrinho was also mentioned with R$ 9.3 million; João Victor, with R$ 5.6 million; Luiz Gustavo, with R$ 5.3 million; Loide, with R$ 2.1 million; and Galarza, with R$ 2 million. Tutinha attributed the increase in marketing revenues in June to the receipt, in a single installment, of R$ 25 million from the master sponsorship contract with SportingBet. The SAF reported, according to Tutinha's account, that cash outflows in August were lower because R$ 46.6 million in payments were deferred to September: R$ 32.6 million in transfer fees, R$ 5.5 million in commissions, R$ 4.5 million in signing bonuses, R$ 3.4 million in taxes, and R$ 630 thousand in TEF. The cash flow recorded R$ 56.8 million in restructuring disbursements between January and August. The breakdown presented by the SAF, however, totaled R$ 59.1 million: R$ 21.9 million for the CNRD, R$ 19.5 million for tax installment plans, R$ 6.8 million related to Judicial Recovery, R$ 5.3 million for the Judicial Administrator and legal and financial advisors, R$ 4.3 million in transfers to the CRVG and R$ 1.3 million for BACEN. Tutinha observed that the itemized amounts did not match the total recorded in the cash flow. According to the numbers disclosed by him, the SAF had 46,347 active clients in the supporter program in January and 35,790 in August, a reduction of approximately 10.5 thousand. Of the clients registered in August, 35,214 were up to date with their payments. Tutinha also wrote that Vasco claimed to be meeting its obligations under the Judicial Recovery Plan on time and settling debts incurred after the recovery request and extrajudicial credits. In the CNRD, the club was to allocate R$ 15 million per year for the payment of three plans; the credits were adjusted by the IPCA and were not subject to discounts. Regarding the agreement concluded in September, Tutinha reported that 777 declared it did not oppose the establishment of the New SAF, the creation of the UPI Equity, the judicial sale of 90% of the shares, nor the transfer of the shares to the winner of the competitive process. The former controller also reportedly stated that it would withdraw from incidents and appeals related to Judicial Recovery and relinquish respective claims. Tutinha affirmed that the numbers outlined the financial operation of Vasco as the club moved towards a new phase of restructuring and the completion of the sale of the New SAF. #Vasco #Futebol #Finanças (translated)

Decisions like putting Franco Romero in every match are what make you lose a championship.

Running away from the debate is not a strategy. It’s a confession. Those who have been in power for three years and ask for a fourth term cannot treat voters like an audience of a friendly podcast. Lulism has always preferred a controlled platform over confrontation. When the polls tighten, the candidate of "democracy" disappears from TV and sends the supporters to inflate the audience on a parallel channel. This is not moral superiority. It is fear of numbers, of questions, and of opponents. #politica #democracia #debate (translated)

There is no mystery in Lula's retreat. Whoever has been governing for almost twelve years combined does not want to be charged for gross debt at 82.9% of GDP, record household delinquency, and the transformation of the Supreme Court into an electoral committee. Petism prefers the controlled platform, the Bolsa Família, and the narrative of "threat to democracy." Flávio accepts the risk of confrontation. An election that defines four future seats in the Supreme Court cannot be decided through retreat and the apparatus of the state. Sunday is the 22nd. #Lula #Política #Eleições (translated)
