Leandro Ruschel stated that Edson Fachin was advocating for a reform of the Judiciary without altering guarantees, but he questioned which guarantees he was referring to. According to Ruschel, in recent years, the Federal Supreme Court had restricted constitutional rights such as free expression, association, and manifestation, in addition to the right to defense, the natural judge, and due process. He said this had occurred especially with people who did not align with what he called the court's leftism. Ruschel also criticized the defense that the reform should be made "with the Judiciary." According to him, it is up to the Legislative to draft laws, while the Judiciary should apply them and assess their compatibility with the Constitution. He added that courts can propose laws regarding their own organization, but the decision falls to Congress, and they cannot present constitutional amendments. For Ruschel, the expression used by Fachin would be a euphemism for the usurpation of Congress's powers. #Judiciário #Reforma #GarantiasCivis (translated)

On Monday, he claimed that Russia could not have delivered to the United States even 5 million tons of diesel, nor 50, nor even 5 tons that winter. He stated that the agreement would serve as a pretext for Ukrainians to stop attacking Russian refineries and terminals, ahead of what he described as the most difficult winter in Russia in the last century. He pointed to temperatures ranging from -15°C in Moscow to -40°C in Siberia and said that heating and transportation depended on fuels and refined products. He also claimed that Trump was nervous due to the enormous pressure exerted by Putin. The post also mentioned the name Eduard Constantin, as well as Facebook. #Rusia #iarna #energie (translated)

The Football Planet reported that Corinthians sought Beccacece, who, according to the profile, did not intend to work in Brazil at that moment after leaving the Ecuador national team. Gustavo Quinteros, former coach of Grêmio, was offered to the club, and the management was evaluating his name before deciding whether to proceed. He had been without a club since leaving Independiente in August. The profile added that, in light of the difficulties in hiring a coach for only three months, Corinthians changed strategy and began offering a contract until the end of 2027, already during the management of the next president. The publication attributed the information to ESPN Brazil. #Corinthians #Futebol #Treinadores (translated)

Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the American and global markets, an additional 500,000 tons in November, and 1,000,000 tons immediately after. Furthermore, depending on the state of its refineries, Russia will then deliver, in a short period of time, 3,000,000 tons of diesel. Donald Trump announced on Friday, October 9, that he had negotiated with Vladimir Putin for a massive delivery of Russian diesel to the American and global markets, in the hope of lowering pump prices just weeks before the midterm elections in the United States. #DieselRusse #TrumpPoutine #GuerreEnUkraine (translated)

Felipe Moura Brasil shared the transcription of a reporter from Veja who defended a report amid the reactions to the publication of a recording. The journalist stated that, in addition to the audio, the article was based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone before he formalized a plea deal proposal. According to the reporter, Vorcaro had already presented a third proposal to the PGR, but the agency did not want to listen to him. In the transcription, the reporter claimed that messages from 2024 and 2025 indicated that Vorcaro had intermediaries at the Palácio do Planalto who were working with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica, Petrobras, and Correios. He asserted that the objective was to raise 10 billion reais from these funds, with 1 billion reais earmarked for bribes to the PT, as part of an agreement to save Banco Master. He also said that an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha sought fund executives and that meetings had been organized to facilitate the bank's operations. The reporter further stated that, in May 2024, Banco Master entered the so-called "exhaustive list," which, according to him, allowed the funds to invest in the institution. At the same time, he said, the bank was negotiating credit letters worth 500 million reais with Caixa Econômica. According to the journalist, the operation did not progress after the newspaper O Globo reported, in July 2024, that two managers from Caixa had been removed for issuing a negative opinion. He added that Vorcaro had reported, in a plea deal proposal to which the report had access, that Padilha and other PT members backed down after the case was disclosed. #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)

Sardoche estimated that Lisnard's breakthrough reminded him of Macron's, while considering their paths to be very different. He recalled that Macron had been a minister under François Hollande, in the Socialist Party, an investment banker at Rothschild, and, according to him, supported by the Parisian politico-technocratic circles. He also noted that Macron had never been elected locally before arriving at the Élysée. In contrast, Sardoche indicated that Lisnard had never been a minister, that he had been re-elected mayor of Cannes with more than 80% of the votes in the first round, and that he had been locally established for 25 years. He also mentioned his family background as merchants, his activities as a vendor and small entrepreneur, the odd jobs he would have done to finance his studies, as well as his role as president of the mayors of France. Sardoche added that it was difficult to continue believing in a politician in 2026. He pointed out that some criticized Lisnard for a lack of charisma and a posture that was not in line with that of a great politician, but he believed that his profile was the best possible because voters might see him as a Frenchman attached to his country and foreign to the posturing games that he deemed hypocritical. #Politique #Élections2026 #Leadership (translated)

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)
