Planeta do Futebol reported that, after an unfavorable court decision, the Fla-Flu Consortium asked the court to reject a new appeal from Vasco regarding ticket sales for the match against Boca Juniors. The concessionaire stated that the club should assume the risks of having sold tickets while the injunction could still be suspended. The Consortium argued that the appeal had lost its object due to the proximity of the deadline and that it repeated already rejected arguments. It advocated for the match to be held at Nilton Santos Stadium and stated that there would still be time to reorganize the event. According to the publication, Vasco urgently requested reconsideration of the suspension and claimed that it had begun sales for Maracanã after receiving court authorization. The club argued that the capacity of Nilton Santos, which is 44,661 people, was less than the 46,014 tickets sold, which would require cancellations and refunds. It also pointed out the need to accommodate 4,000 visiting fans and maintain separation areas between the supporters. The appeal from Vasco and the statement from the Fla-Flu Consortium were awaiting analysis from Judge Suely Lopes Magalhães, reported Planeta do Futebol, based on ESPN Brazil. #Vasco #Maracanã #Futebol (translated)

The rector of the University of Bucharest, Prof. Univ. Dr. Marian Preda, believes that the nomination of Luca Niculescu for the position of prime minister is belated, but he has "slightly better chances" to gather a majority, given the current political fragmentation in Romania, which complicates the formation of a stable government. #LucaNiculescu #politică #tehnocrați (translated)

Gustavo Martínez wrote that Vox proposed to considerably reduce the state and asked to know how that measure would be financed. To refer to those who, according to him, benefited from public spending at the expense of workers, he used derogatory language. He added that it was not enough to announce cuts and demanded figures on revenue. Martínez listed a proposal for income tax of 0% up to €22,000, 15% between €22,000 and €70,000, and 25% above €70,000. He also mentioned reducing corporate tax and VAT—from 21% to 18% in the general rate and from 10% to 8% in the reduced rate—setting the tax rate on basic foodstuffs at 0%, and eliminating taxes on wealth and on inheritances and donations. He also pointed out a 100% exemption for self-employed workers whose income did not reach the minimum wage. #Economía #Finanzas #Impuestos (translated)

Luigi Marattin responded to Corrado Formigli, who in the Corriere had described as "an embarrassing confusion" what the deputy said on Piazzapulita. Marattin mentioned that he has been reading investigative journalism and historical studies on conflicts for decades and cited Il Legionario, a book about Giustino De Vuono, arguing that its author documented the presented theses. Marattin accused the documentary Naza of making unfounded accusations. He cited the bombing which, according to the mentioned reconstruction, would have killed 500 civilians, stating that no evidence of either the attack or the death toll had been presented. He argued that the only source was Hamas's word, treated as truth, while Israeli accounts were dismissed as propaganda. He added that he had said on air that, in wartime, he did not consider the reports of the involved parties reliable and preferred those from independent observers. For this reason, he described Israel's decision not to allow foreign journalists into Gaza, even at their own risk, as a mistake. Marattin accused Formigli of not listening to this point and of silencing dissenters, imposing his own opinion. Finally, he wrote that he would have liked to read a "mea culpa" from the host for his statements about Israeli children on October 7. #giornalismodinchiesta #storia #media (translated)

Santi C. stated that, under the leadership of President Milei, Argentina had moved from relying on the agricultural sector as the only source of dollars to sustain a protected and inefficient industry to having, for now, three competitive sectors: agriculture, energy, and mining. According to what he wrote, these sectors generated jobs and foreign currency income, provided natural coverage against external shocks, and promoted massive migration to the interior of the country. He asserted that the change had already occurred, that its effects were just beginning to be seen, and that nothing could alter its course. #EconomíaArgentina #CambioEconómico #DesarrolloSostenible (translated)
