Verônica Domingues criticized what she described as Lula's intention to lower the age of criminal responsibility. She stated that the measure would be a simplistic response to a complex issue and labeled it as "penal populism." Domingues said she did not support impunity for heinous crimes but opposed incarcerating adolescents alongside adults in prisons that, according to her, were already overcrowded. In her assessment, lowering the age of criminal responsibility before addressing social and racial inequalities in Brazil would deepen these problems, including within the prison system. She also stated that Black and poor adolescents would be more affected by the measure, while white and wealthy youths would escape punishments to the same extent. Domingues criticized those who, according to her, accuse of racism those who point out this risk and said that experts, and not just public opinion, should guide the debate. The author further lamented that sectors of the left supported the proposal and asserted that advocating for the reduction of the age of criminal responsibility was incompatible with being leftist in Brazil. She acknowledged that heinous crimes provoked outrage and a desire for revenge but urged that the issue be discussed without reactionary speeches. #MaioridadePenal #DesigualdadeSocial #PopulismoPenal (translated)

The Marinho family never accepted Lula. Not because they lost something, but because they never controlled everything. The Marinho family has never lost money, concessions, prestige, or influence during Lula's governments. On the contrary: they grew, profited, and continued as one of the largest media groups in the country. Yet, they act as if they owned Brazil. The problem has never been economic. It's class-related. It's the historical discomfort of seeing a worker govern the country, expand rights, and reduce inequalities without asking for the elite's blessing. Journalists who release shady "stories" and PowerPoints have been fulfilling this role for decades: vocalizing the interests of those in power, whether in the Globo Group or in Faria Lima, which, at heart, operate under the same logic. This family has spent the century sabotaging popular projects, helped sustain dictatorships, criminalized social leaders, and whenever Brazil tried to advance, they worked to pull the country backward. A coup is Globo's constant attempt to manipulate public opinion. And still, it is Lula who returns to rebuild. Always! There’s a lot of karma for these people. BRAZIL WITH LULA ON THE FLOW DO NOT WATCH THE DEBATE NO MORE COUP TURN OFF GLOBO #Lula #Globo #Brasil (translated)

Na tarde desta segunda-feira (21), tive uma reunião com o senador Bernie Sanders, em Nova York, no contexto da semana de Alto Nível das Nações Unidas. Dialogamos sobre temas globais, como a defesa do multilateralismo, da paz e da democracia. Repudiamos, nesse contexto, o aumento dos gastos militares, o aprofundamento das desigualdades e a precarização da situação dos trabalhadores em diversas partes do mundo. Manifestamos preocupação com o extremismo e defendemos a necessidade urgente de uma governança multilateral da inteligência artificial. Defendemos, também, maior participação dos jovens e das mulheres na política, em todos os níveis. O senador Sanders apresentou sua perspectiva sobre as eleições de meio de mandato nos Estados Unidos, bem como sobre a situação política e econômica do país. Comentei com ele o contexto eleitoral no Brasil e apresentei algumas das políticas públicas de inclusão implementadas no atual mandato, em especial na área de saúde. O senador Sanders manifestou interesse em conhecer a experiência brasileira com o Sistema Único de Saúde. 📸 @ricardostuckert #Multilateralismo #Democracia #Saúde
