“Itamaraty is 'at the service' of Lulinha's partner. O Globo and CNN reveal that the Brazilian Embassy in Madrid helped lobbyist Roberta Luchsinger, a friend of Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, Lulinha, in the search for schools in the Spanish capital. The Itamaraty confirmed the support: the then ambassador Orlando Leite Ribeiro met Luchsinger and Renata Abreu Moreira, Lulinha’s wife, at a commercial promotion event in September 2024, and the educational sector of the embassy provided school contacts. In January 2025 the diplomat stated he was 'entirely at their service.' Messages mention offers of people and vehicles; the ministry denies the use of official cars and classifies the assistance as routine for Brazilian citizens. Laughter. Luchsinger did not move. Lulinha moved last year and remains in Spain, according to the defense. The same column by Malu Gaspar had already noted that the lobbyist organized, according to the Federal Police, a trip worth R$ 1.8 million for Lulinha and the family to see the Northern Lights. Calling this 'routine assistance' is mockery. The embassy is not a concierge for a president's child or a lobbyist circulating around the family. Taxpayers fund representation abroad to defend national interests, not to create a school list in Madrid while the firstborn settles in Europe. It’s the same old pattern: the public at the service of the family's private interests, with an official note saying that there was no irregularity. The abuse of purpose is exposed. The little bearded ones at Itamaraty need to go!” (translated)

“Si tratta di un colpo basso ai danni della forza lavoro e, ancora una volta, di un tentativo sfacciato di mettere le mani nelle tasche dei dipendenti”, ha dichiarato ad ARD e ZDF Thorsten Gröger, responsabile di IG Metall per la Bassa Sassonia, mentre Daniela Cavallo, presidente del consiglio di fabbrica, prevede uno “scontro duro”. #Volkswagen #Sindacato #CrisiEconomica

Cristiano Ronaldo gave a lot to the National Team. In individual and historical terms, no Portuguese has given more. That is the truth. But what did the National Team give to Cristiano Ronaldo? I remember well how, even at open training sessions, that group embraced an 18-year-old kid. And we are talking about the first generation with full recognition abroad. Luís Figo (Ballon d'Or), Rui Costa, Pauleta, Fernando Couto, the great generation of FC Porto under Mourinho. They also had reasons to feel proud and to be main figures. It was beautiful to see the passing of the torch in 2004 and 2006 where CR7 was welcomed, cherished, and thrown to the lions with warm support. Now I want you to think with me, what would have happened to Cristiano Ronaldo if in 2004, when he came on at halftime of Portugal's first game in the Euro, someone who left had started to throw a tantrum? Sour face? Consecutive press conferences with 10 questions on the subject? Wouldn't this have affected him? This is also what a National Team is about: knowing how to welcome those who arrive, protecting those who are taking their first steps, and, above all, knowing how to pass on the torch. The generation of Figo, Rui Costa, Pauleta, Fernando Couto, and company did this with Cristiano Ronaldo. And perhaps one of the greatest responsibilities of the established players, the captains of a National Team is precisely this: to ensure that the next generation enters through the door with warm support and the capacity to embrace the future. Very sad what CR7 did with Gonçalo Ramos, Fábio Silva, João Félix, etc. Yes, Ronaldo gave a lot to the National Team. But he also drank a lot from the generation of the National Team that was there when he arrived. I sincerely believe that only Alex Ferguson gave him more. The way CR7 leaves the National Team in flames is the biggest failure of the colossal career of the former captain of the National Team. (translated)

There's no mistake. Anything you read in the media about the activities of the lobbyist Roberta Luchsinger will come with the note "friend of Lulinha." Even if Lulinha has nothing to do with all of Roberta's activities. By the way, even if the businessman Fábio Luis da Silva is not called Lulinha either among his relatives or among his friends.

Russia finally draws the red line: Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova officially stated that all European factories and facilities producing weapons, ammunition, and military equipment for Ukraine are now considered "legitimate military targets" of the Russian armed forces. This makes it clear that all of Europe's arms deep space is on the target map – and it is called the last warning to Europe. (translated)

⚡️🇫🇷FLASH - The National Union of Journalists (SNJ), the first organization of the profession, strongly condemns the remarks made by Marine #LePen during a press briefing organized on Tuesday, September 29. The leader of the National Rally (RN) was reacting to revelations from Mediapart regarding #antisemitic remarks attributed to the president of the RN, Jordan #Bardella. The presidential candidate notably stated: "Now, it is Mediapart, I believe, that will need to put on its Kevlar suit, because there will obviously be a response to the way they behave." Kevlar is the material used to make bulletproof vests. The threat is therefore precise, public, and acknowledged. As a deputy and former party leader, Marine Le Pen perfectly knows that her remarks will be widely disseminated. These intimidations are of extreme seriousness. The #SNJ gives its full support to the editorial staff of #Mediapart, whose investigations contribute to illuminating public debate, and will stand alongside its teams if they wish to take legal action.
