Rafael Narbona said he didn’t know if Podemos was responsible for the failure of a unified left candidacy, but he argued that the party had acted poorly by allowing, directly or indirectly, its supporters to insult and harass those who criticized their leaders on social media. He stated that, although he had criticized the PSOE many times without suffering similar attacks, he had received them from the far-right, from Podemos supporters, and from independents. He also described nationalism as reactionary and pointed to the emergence of Alianza Catalana, whose proposals he considered similar to those of Vox. Narbona recounted that it had been falsely claimed that Podemos helped him when they tried to evict him, clarifying that he lived in a house he owned. He also maintained that Podemos had not created the left or feminism and that it had weakened the left with demagoguery, inconsistencies, and a strategy that, in his view, prioritized identity disputes over social demands. He added that he considered it legitimate to live in a chalet and send his children to a private school, but he criticized those options and then resorted to them. Finally, he said that the noise from Podemos supporters on social media mattered less than electoral results and that their belligerence contributed to strengthening the far-right. He stated that he would continue to express his opinions and explained that he had limited responses to avoid insults and falsehoods. #Podemos #Izquierda #Ultraderecha (translated)

Pablo Echenique thanked the members of Podemos in the regions who, as he wrote, had negotiated in good faith, while the Frente Amplio negotiated behind their backs with the PSOE for the Senate. He also accused progressive media of spreading lies and contributing to demoralizing them. He also thanked those who defended both his political project and, in his words, "the facts and reality" on social media. Echenique stated that Podemos could push for an independent project from the PSOE and without compromises, after Sumar had disintegrated in just three years. He argued that this autonomy would allow for denouncing the rearmament, the handing over of the CGPJ to the PP, the corruption of the PSOE, and, he said, the protection of the interests of rentiers. He also highlighted the joint candidacy of Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián, whom he described as the left-wing leaders with the most recognition and appeal at that time. The Podemos leader anticipated that media pressure would increase and accused the media of publishing false polls that would attribute votes from other parties to the Frente Amplio. He stated that this coverage was due to the fear of a left that did not obey orders or accept agreements for a few senators. He urged his supporters to move forward and pointed out that on Sunday, November 29, voters could decide at the polls. #Podemos #Izquierda #Elecciones2023 (translated)

Don Ricardo Salinas Pliego said he was saddened that, while the world and neighbors to the north were advancing, corrupt and inept Mexican politicians were dedicating themselves, according to him, to stealing and lying to keep hundreds of billions of pesos contributed by those who work and generate wealth, well-being, and prosperity. He asked how many projects announced by the Morena Party, in his opinion, had ended in promises, failures, wasted money, or allegedly diverted funds, instead of benefiting Mexicans. Among them, he mentioned the Patria Vaccine, the Megapharmacy, Water of Well-being, Gas Well-being, respiratory ventilators, the supercomputer, a spaceship to go to Mars, the AIFA, and the Maya Train. Salinas Pliego asked how much more corruption, ineptitude, and lies from politicians would cost. #Corrupción #México #Política (translated)

Roberto Reis stated that the electoral race was tight and, in his assessment, Lula had been regaining votes among voters from classes D and E, especially among those concerned about losing social benefits. According to him, this group had supported Flávio Bolsonaro in the first round after promises of improvements and prosperity. Reis said that Lula was not gaining votes from Augusto Cury, Ronaldo Caiado, or Renan, but from Flávio. The author claimed that there was an unprecedented fear campaign, with allegations of the political use of CRAS, daycare centers, and educational institutions, in addition to the circulation of false information. According to Reis, voters were being warned that they could lose their pensions, Bolsa Família, BPC, and minimum wage adjustments. Reis said that Flávio had already started to react with an advertisement about public safety, crime, and factions, which also reaffirmed the commitment to maintain and improve social programs. In the author's view, the response should be more incisive, with the participation of new allies. He also advocated for Flávio and Cleitinho to jointly present a national proposal for the IPVA, citing the discussion about the tax in Minas Gerais, where, according to him, Cleitinho won in the first round. Regarding the polls, Reis assessed that Flávio was still leading by about 2 points, possibly reaching 3 in the final stretch, while Lula faced greater rejection and a persistent ceiling. He noted that some polls already indicated a tie but expressed reservations about the sampling considerations, especially regarding the composition of social segments. For Reis, the transfer of votes from the third way had already occurred, and the challenge was to maintain the votes gained in the first round. He asked Rogério Marinho to demand greater participation from the new allies and a more precise direction for communication actions. #Eleições2024 #Lula #FlávioBolsonaro (translated)

She argued that he threatened those who questioned him and intended to decide who was a good journalist, in addition to making false statements about the protection and guarantees for journalistic work.

Jones Manoel stated that the judiciary of Minas Gerais accepted a request from Flávio Bolsonaro to investigate federal deputy Ana Elisa for allegedly spreading fake news. He accused the judiciary of acting selectively in the electoral process to favor Bolsonaro's candidacy and compared the case to the transmission channel "Tropa de Flávio," which, according to him, spread lies without facing consequences. Manoel said that the Electoral Justice was investigating a deputy from the PT in Minas Gerais for making criticisms and concluded that state institutions were not neutral. In his assessment, they were acting to lead Flávio Bolsonaro to the government and allow the adoption of a program of radicalization of neoliberalism and the transformation of Brazil into a neocolony. #Justiça #Política #Brasil (translated)
