Pedro Menin stated that the story about an alleged agreement with Flávio could become the biggest fake news of the campaign and denied that Roberta had "colluded with Flávio." According to him, Roberta was a single mother of two teenage daughters and had been exposed by Lula, who, despite claiming that it was not his place to judge anyone, had condemned her prematurely. Menin claimed that Lula knew about his own involvement and that of his son in the case and had used the Federal Police to pressure Roberta into silence, just as, according to the author, he had done with Vorcaro. He stated that the two had turned to the press and sought protection because they believed that Andrei's Federal Police would not investigate the case and would protect Lula, whom Menin accused of leading a criminal gang. The author also labeled Lula as misogynistic, sexist, and a liar and said that he had been unmasked again. Menin stated that Roberta's life was in danger and associated the situation with the vulnerability of thousands of women during Lula's government. #Fakenews #Eleições2024 #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Vinicios Betiol stated that, in 2022, the Federal Highway Police blocked roads in areas where the electorate was predominantly from the Workers' Party and that, subsequently, the Federal Police concluded that the blockades were criminal and led by Silvinei Vasques. He said that the TSE, under the command of Nunes Marques, whom he called a Bolsonaro supporter, was changing 4,000 electoral sections just before the second round. Betiol stated that he could not accuse the minister of acting like Vasques, but that he did not trust in his impartiality. He advocated for transparency in the electoral process and said he hoped that the Workers' Party would take action in the Supreme Court to prevent the changes and that the Federal Police would investigate whether they aimed to hinder voting for one side of the dispute. #Eleições2022 #Transparência #Justiça (translated)

Erika Hilton reported that she submitted a request to create a Parliamentary Inquiry Commission on Big Techs, with the aim of investigating, according to her, abuses by companies like Meta, responsible for Instagram, during the elections. She stated that foreign companies would be manipulating algorithms to favor political positions and harm candidates, and said there would be indications of interference by foreign billionaires in Brazilian elections. Hilton pointed out that the voting could influence the end of the 6x1 scale, the continuity of Pix, Brazilian control over rare earths, and the rights of women and girls to their own image, their own bodies, and the vote. She claimed to be gathering the 171 signatures necessary for the request for the companies to be investigated, regardless of the ballot results. The deputy also defended Brazil's sovereignty and criticized what she described as abuses by foreign companies that monopolize the internet. In the end, she called for support for Lula on the 25th and accused a system of trying to enslave the population, seize the country's wealth, and colonize it. #CPI #BigTechs #Eleições2023 (translated)

Oana Eftimie stated in a clip that the reports from DGPI and SRI, declassified on December 4, 2024, two days before the annulment of the elections, indicated the involvement of PNL, through the communication agency Kensington, in coordinating a TikTok campaign associated with Călin Georgescu's candidacy. Eftimie said that authorities presented the #EchilibrușiVerticalitate campaign as evidence of Russian interference and that the DGPI report considered it identical to a campaign called "Brother Next to Brother," conducted by the Russian Federation in Ukraine before the invasion in February 2022. According to the author, the campaign had been run by Kensington and paid for by PNL, according to an ANAF report. She compared this lead to the criminal prosecution for the continued bribery of voters against Bogdan Peșchir and the influencers who had voluntarily supported Georgescu’s candidacy. Eftimie claimed that for almost two years, she had not seen a similar interest in investigating the campaign she attributed to PNL. The author further asserted that the authorities had initially anonymized the names of the agencies involved, but had not protected the identities of the influencers targeted by actions. She also reported that Peșchir had been forced by a police officer to remove his cap, mask, and glasses when he arrived escorted at the IGPR headquarters. Eftimie questioned why the lead on the paid campaign was not being investigated. #PNL #InterferențăRusească #Alegeri2024 (translated)

Maria Clara Posada questioned whether the JEP was deliberately delaying its actions to justify an extension of its term and hire more staff. She argued that the Attorney General's Office had warned since last year, on several occasions, that the Tribunal would not meet the investigation deadlines, which, according to her, would jeopardize the guarantees of the trial phase for members of the Public Force who did not accept responsibility. Posada pointed out that the JEP had 10 years from the start of its operations to present charges against those who did not accept responsibility. She explained that the Truth Recognition Chamber had to investigate the cases and refer them to the Investigation Unit (UIA), which would have 30 months to formulate charges. According to Posada, the files of the macro cases should have been sent no later than September 15, 2025, to meet those deadlines, but the JEP itself had indicated that it would send them between 2027 and 2028. She warned that if investigations were prolonged, the military who did not accept responsibility could face expedited trials that, in her opinion, would violate their guarantees. Posada stated that the alternative would be to extend the JEP's term and accused the magistrates of seeking to retain their positions for life. She added that, in her opinion, that was not the most serious aspect. #JEP #justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)
