Karina Michelin stated that Nikolas Ferreira had published a video which, in her view, exposed the poverty and lack of basic services faced by people from the Northeast despite decades of political promises. She said that Lula da Silva built part of his public image based on his Pernambuco origins, fighting hunger, and the promise to improve the lives of the poorest. Michelin reported that people interviewed in the video described hardships, illnesses, and suffering that, according to her, spanned generations. She also claimed that the promises made by Lula in 2002 remained similar to those of 2026 and that, in her view, the Northeast should not only be remembered during elections. She argued that the Northeastern population should have a central role in the change and that their basic rights should be guaranteed. #Nordeste #Lula #Eleições2026 (translated)

Legitimate social claims have again been hijacked by the far left and the speeches of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's deputies, who, legitimizing violence, considering order as oppression and disorder as a right, seek to plunge the country into chaos. Le Pen will argue, for her part, that only she will be able to restore the authority that the country has needed for so many years and impose order, a message that may resonate with right-wing voters still hesitant to vote for her in the second round. #ChalecosAmarillos #Mélenchon #LePen (translated)

No dia 10 de outubro 2026, Barack Obama esteve em Lisboa como orador principal do Game Changers Forum, realizado na MEO Arena, diante de mais de 10 mil pessoas. Na sua intervenção, Obama abordou temas como democracia, liderança política, inteligência artificial e os riscos do autoritarismo. Obama destacou que a democracia é uma conquista recente e frágil na história da humanidade, defendendo que todos os cidadãos devem ter direitos iguais, dignidade e capacidade de influenciar a sociedade. Ele fez críticas indiretas ao então presidente americano, Donald Trump, ao questionar a nostalgia por uma suposta "América real", associando-a a um passado em que minorias raciais eram silenciadas e as mulheres tinham papéis restritos. Sobre inteligência artificial, Obama alertou que essa tecnologia transformará a sociedade em cerca de dez anos, defendendo a necessidade de regras internacionais de segurança e coordenação, especialmente entre Estados Unidos e China, apesar da desconfiança entre as potências. O ex-presidente pediu mais humanidade e menos nacionalismo, defendendo líderes que valorizem tanto os interesses nacionais quanto os sonhos de pessoas de outros países, promovendo uma ideia de "humanidade comum" em vez de confronto. Obama também ressaltou a importância de dar mais espaço aos jovens na política, defendendo a renovação das lideranças. Com bom humor, afirmou que são necessários mais líderes jovens porque os mais velhos não sabem usar os telemóveis. Ele criticou a burocracia e a lentidão das instituições democráticas, inclusive na Europa, alertando que, quando os governos não resolvem problemas concretos como habitação e emprego, discursos autoritários podem se tornar mais atraentes. Uma das frases mais significativas de sua intervenção foi: "Tecnicamente, um presidente não pode começar uma guerra sem aprovação do parlamento." Essa declaração foi interpretada como uma crítica indireta à atuação do então presidente dos EUA, especialmente no contexto dos ataques americanos contra o Irão. Sobre a Europa, Obama reconheceu os benefícios da União Europeia, mas advertiu que a burocracia e a demora nas decisões podem afastar os cidadãos das instituições. Defendeu governos mais ágeis e capazes de responder às preocupações cotidianas. Em síntese, Obama defendeu uma democracia mais eficaz, liderança renovada e cooperação internacional baseada em valores comuns. Ele reforçou que a democracia exige instituições que funcionem, cidadãos ouvidos e líderes que respeitem a igualdade, indo além do simples ato de votar.
