Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas criticized the PT and the left, stating that they were neglecting the situation in the Amazon. He said that São Paulo demonstrated that a right-wing government could reconcile environmental preservation and development. According to Freitas, in 2025 the area affected by fires in state conservation units fell by 91% compared to 2024. He also stated that in August 2026, the state recorded the lowest number of hotspots for that month since the beginning of the historical series in 1998. He mentioned that more than R$ 400 million had been mobilized to prevent and combat wildfires, with investments in technology, satellite monitoring, and artificial intelligence. The governor also declared that over 44,000 hectares were in the process of forest restoration and that 13.2 thousand hectares had been incorporated into state protected areas. Regarding river recovery, he cited R$ 22 billion in investments in IntegraTietê, more than 1.5 million households connected to the sewage network, and 6.5 million cubic meters of sediments removed from the Tietê basin. According to him, the organic pollution load of the river had decreased by almost 30%, and the pollution stain had receded by 33 kilometers, about 16%. Freitas stated that these actions had not impeded economic development, job creation, and the growth of São Paulo, and he argued that environmental protection depended on responsibility and work, not ideology. #MeioAmbiente #DesenvolvimentoSustentável #SãoPaulo (translated)

The storm has highlighted the vulnerability of the railway viaduct over the Besòs River, which has led the Sant Adrià City Council to demand since 2008 that Adif raise or replace the structure due to its risk of flooding, with a specific proposal to raise its lower elevation by 3.54 meters, although it still lacks a budget and execution dates. #SantAdrià #RíoBesòs #InfraestructuraFerroviaria (translated)

Deltan Dallagnol wrote that, according to Metrópoles, the Federal Police found a photo on banker Vorcaro's cell phone of a reserved seat in his name for the ceremony in which Lula received the title of Doctor Honoris Causa in June 2025. The image is said to have been sent by lawyer Walfrido Warde. Dallagnol stated that the conversations indicated that Vorcaro did not attend the event. However, before the ceremony, Warde allegedly suggested that he meet the "man" in Brasília and said that Lula would see him there; according to the author, investigators understood the reference to be to the president. Dallagnol questioned what kind of access Vorcaro might have had, who would have mediated the contact, and what interests might have been discussed. He also asked readers to share their opinions. #Lula #Política #Brasil (translated)

Oliver Adámek, who according to his own words attended the Prague council for four years, stated that Prague is moving forward, but its development is hindered by the limited powers of local government. He identified the Metropolitan Plan and the continuation of tram line construction as the greatest successes of the past period. He considered the pressure on secondary schools and the Libeň Bridge as the biggest problems. Adámek wrote that elected politicians have only a limited influence on the shape of streets, closures, and construction. He advocated for the abolition of delegated powers, stronger powers for local governments in land-use planning, direct election of the mayor, and reducing the number of city districts by at least half. He noted that these changes would need to be approved by Parliament. He also rejected the claim that nothing is being built in Prague. He recalled the development on three major brownfields, 14 new tram lines in 10 years, metro line D, the Dvorecký Bridge, the railway to the airport, and the construction of the outer ring road. Regarding the inner ring road, he mentioned the complicated amendment to the land-use plan and stated that the Vltava Philharmonic had been waiting for building permits and financing. According to him, however, Prague needed significantly more apartments, both private and municipal. According to Adámek, the traffic jams in Prague are caused by three times as many cars compared to the 1990s, not by current closures or adjustments to tram islands. He believes that the ring roads would not change traffic in the broader center much, as nearly 90% of cars on the main road drove into the center. A vast P+R system, he argued, would require tens of billions of crowns and would not make sense. He considered the railway hub to be more important, as it would speed up commuting from Central Bohemia: while he claimed that 23% of Prague residents used cars daily, the majority of residents from the Central Bohemia region did. He criticized the current mayor for not engaging enough in public debate according to him and for not describing his vision for Prague in 10 to 20 years. He stated that most of the other current leaders had some vision. #Praha #volby #politika (translated)

Eduardo Bolsonaro stated that he was perplexed by what he described as an extortion by Lula involving Vorcaro. He alleged that the president had asked for R$ 30 million in bribes, not for the film, but for people connected to the Lula Institute, and claimed that the mediation would have involved names such as the Minister of Health, Alexandre Padilha. https://t.co/lci8p4BYfI #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)
