David Ágape wrote that, after the Band debate, Lula challenged Flávio Bolsonaro to disclose the bank accounts and telephone records of both families, so that the public could know, according to Lula's formulation, "who is the thief." Ágape pointed out three obstacles to the proposal: Lula would have said he did not have a cell phone; the disclosure of the data of the five adult children would depend on their consent; and Lula had been convicted in the Lava Jato under the accusation of concealing ownership of the tríplex in Guarujá. The author said he compared Lula's asset declarations to the TSE from 2018, 2022, and 2026. According to him, the total declared dropped by R$ 2.65 million since the previous election, during which Lula held the presidency. Ágape also stated that he had identified a donation to Lulinha, a business plan linked to LILS — Lula's speaking company which, according to him, received millions from companies investigated in the Lava Jato — and a credit of R$ 179 thousand regarding the share of an apartment in the same building as the tríplex. He also mentioned changes in asset descriptions, loans that stopped appearing, and a house that continued to be declared as "under construction," for the same value reported four years earlier. https://t.co/ETe6EczCQ8 #Lula #LavaJato #Transparência (translated)

Javier Milei criticized the journalists who questioned his response to the claim that people run out of money on the 20th of the month. He said they had repeated a phrase he considered nonsensical and accused them of resorting to fallacies, such as appealing to what pollsters say or responding with personal mockery. Milei asked them to explain how a person could go ten days without eating or drinking. Regarding the argument about the use of credit cards, he suggested that one should consider what happens the following month and said that would help understand the intertemporal logic of credit. He also claimed that he had refuted the arguments about delinquency several times. He maintained that it was necessary to understand the changes in credit, low amount loans with high rates, and the dynamics following a political shock that halted credit. Additionally, he disqualified the intellectual capacity of the journalists and recommended they listen to his explanations until they understood them. #Economía #Finanzas #Periodismo (translated)
