Carol De Toni stated that Simone Tebet, the Minister of Planning in the Lula government, admitted on TV in November 2025 that in 2027 no president would be able to govern with the current fiscal rules without causing inflation, increasing debt, and harming the economy. The author stated that, after 20 years of the PT in power, the finances were at the limit and the debt was increasing. She questioned why the party would be able to change Brazil in another four years and urged voters to vote with awareness on Sunday. She advocated for putting the finances in order, resuming growth, and recovering the trust of those who work and produce, and recommended voting for number 22. #Eleições2022 #Brasil #Economia (translated)

Truecaller stated that the risk in Argentina was increasing, while that of Brazil was at its lowest historical level. It said that there were proposals to apply a model in Brazil that had already failed in Argentina, Chile, Peru, and the United States. It also claimed that the debt of those countries was growing faster than Brazil's, along with unemployment, while public services deteriorated. The publication attributed part of the complaints about the situation in Brazil to the perception that it could not get worse and cited the effects of the war in Ukraine on fertilizers, the war in Iran on oil, and Donald Trump's tariffs on global inflation. Truecaller acknowledged that the country needed to improve but assessed that the situation could be worse. Finally, it warned that cuts to health, education, security, and the Bolsa Família, the freezing of public servants' salaries and the minimum wage, as well as Petrobras acting under a free market model, could lead to a truck drivers' strike and weak economic growth. #Argentina #Brasil #CriseEconômica (translated)

Dandi from Consignado wrote that the 1988 Constitution expanded the electorate by millions of people but did not hold accountable, in his assessment, the elites who benefited from the regimes between 1930 and 1980. According to him, FHC and Lula I postponed the problem by making the economy more efficient and resorting to indirect redistribution, while Lula II postponed it with economic growth. The author stated that misguided decisions from Dilma I were followed by unsuccessful attempts from Dilma II and Michel Temer to manage the situation. He also mentioned that Bolsonaro began to transfer costs to the poorest and that Lula tried to do so with the wealthiest, but none of the initiatives succeeded because divided elites remained indecisive. Dandi stated that the fiscal problem and stagnation of productivity could no longer be postponed. As alternatives, he presented the opening of the economy, microeconomic reforms, a significant increase in taxation of the wealthiest, the end of inefficient sectoral policies, and a restrictive environmental agenda—measures that, according to him, would benefit the poorest and burden the richest. The other option, he wrote, would be to deeply cut social spending, allow the expansion of the agricultural frontier without correcting the inefficiencies of agribusiness, maintain industrial policy, and let inflation reduce the value of debt. He concluded that postponing this choice would no longer be possible without social conflict or the continuation of malaise. #Economia #Política #JustiçaSocial (translated)

Deltan Dallagnol stated that the Bolsa Família program went more than three years without an adjustment and lost purchasing power due to inflation. According to him, the government sent the 2027 Budget in August without anticipating an increase, and Lula only announced the adjustment in September, during the electoral campaign. Dallagnol said that Lula claimed not to know about the matter and compared the response to the ones the president had given about the Mensalão and the Petrolão. The author criticized Lula for, in his assessment, only remembering the poorest when he needs votes, and stated that the president's era would end on October 25. He also mentioned that Flávio had finished the first round in the lead and accused the PT of relying on the complacency of the voters. Dallagnol asked for votes for Flávio Bolsonaro, number 22, and urged them to share the video with those who had not voted or had chosen another candidate. #Lula #BolsaFamília #Eleições2023 (translated)
