Deltan Dallagnol stated that, during the Band debate, Sidônio Palmeira, whom he described as the Minister of Secom and Lula's campaign strategist, interrupted the broadcast and disrespected journalists who were trying to maintain the program's rules. According to Dallagnol, the episode showed desperation behind the scenes of a campaign where Lula was confronted live and lost control of the narrative. He said that the end of the Lula era was scheduled for October 25. He also stated that Flávio finished the first round ahead and that the PT relied on the complacency of voters. Dallagnol urged votes for Flávio Bolsonaro, number 22, and for the video to be sent to people who did not vote or chose another candidate. #Lula #Eleição2023 #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that the PT campaign had vetoed the use of an aerial counting method with artificial intelligence at Lula's event the previous week, when the party mentioned "one million". He contrasted this alleged lack of transparency with the actions of the right and said that Flávio used a platform to defend the idea of "turning the sad page of the PT", one week before the second round, on 10/25. Constantino assessed that the number of 72 thousand was false and attributed the difference between the events to the mobilization he described as organic, without artists paid by the state or a ban on drones. He also stated that anti-PT sentiment led ordinary people to the streets, rather than professional activists, and said that the country needed to rid itself of lulism and what he called toga activism. #Política #Eleições2023 #Brasil (translated)

David Ágape claimed that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva would have used the death of comedian Paulo Gustavo and his mother's mourning to attack Flávio Bolsonaro and gain votes. According to the author, the timeline would dispute this narrative: Paulo Gustavo was 42 years old, was hospitalized on March 13, 2021, and died on May 4. Ágape wrote that there were already vaccines in Brazil at that time, but they were only intended for priority groups. He added that among the countries that were then vaccinating people of the same age group as Paulo Gustavo, there were only small countries like the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Israel. The author said that his report disputed these claims and addressed a connection with Vaza Toga 3 and the case of the WhatsApp messages from businesspeople. He also stated that the documentary associated with the hashtag #ElesPoderiamEstarVivos had been produced by a person infiltrated in the group, whose material reached the hands of the "Witch" and Guilherme Amado. https://t.co/HGcEhlSimq #Lula #PauloGustavo #Pandemia (translated)

Helena Ferro de Gouveia wrote that messages exchanged by Nélson Vassalo with friends before the March for Life attack had led the Public Ministry to underline the premeditated nature of the act. According to the author, messages found on Vassalo's mobile phone after the attack and his first arrest on March 21, 2026, revealed a concern in constructing a favorable version. Ferro de Gouveia reported that on March 27, a friend suggested they start disseminating that the target of the Molotov cocktail was the stairs of the Assembly of the Republic, in a protest against housing policies, and not the march. The friend also argued that the version should be conveyed by someone with visibility. When Vassalo asked who, Nuno Lopes suggested Pedro Marques Lopes, for not being linked to the left, or Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos, former president of CDS/PP and commentator for CNN Portugal. #atentado #MarchaPelaVida #justiça (translated)

Truecaller questioned whether Brazilians would allow Donald Trump to influence the country's electoral system in defense of U.S. interests. It predicted that Trump would lose control of the House and Senate in November, would be unable to govern, and would leave office in two years. The author stated that China was economically more important to Brazil than the United States because it buys Brazilian products and can help during crises. He also mentioned that the United States had a trade surplus with Brazil and was a direct competitor to agribusiness and Embraer. Truecaller also said that Brazilians were being influenced by a nonsensical narrative and cited controversies involving the PL and the Bolsonaro family. It claimed that the president of the PL had been arrested in the mensalão scandal, that Flávio Bolsonaro campaigned for Eduardo Cunha, who was imprisoned in the Lava Jato operation, and that the scandals involving INSS and Banco Master had arisen and grown during the Bolsonaro administration. It also criticized Jair Bolsonaro for, according to it, catering to the Centrão by releasing funds from the rapporteur and the secret budget. Regarding Flávio Bolsonaro, Truecaller stated that he did not have a government plan, had changed his position on the 6x1 work schedule, and had promised to cut R$ 200 billion in basic services to solve the fiscal problem, although he only explained R$ 70 billion, an amount the author considered inflated. It added that Flávio had not explained his pricing policy for Petrobras. Finally, Truecaller argued that spending cuts would reduce consumption and GDP and worsen the primary deficit by decreasing revenue. It cited Greece, Argentina, Chile, and Peru as examples where, according to it, austerity policies had failed. #PolíticaBrasil #Eleições2022 #Manipulação (translated)

Xico Graziano stated that a Datafolha survey indicated a 2 percentage point difference between Flávio and Lula, although, according to him, the institute's methodology tended slightly to the left. Graziano said that Lula had a 46% rejection rate, compared to 44% for Flávio, and that 41% disapproved of the PT government, while 35% supported it. In the author's assessment, the indices indicated that Lula's electoral influence was discredited and that, without an extraordinary event or a serious mistake by Flávio, it would be difficult for Lula to reverse the scenario. #Eleição2024 #PolíticaBrasil #DataFolha (translated)

Cafecomferri stated that a survey from Quaest released the day before indicated, in his assessment, an attempt by the left to create the narrative that the PT was reacting, but he said that this was not true.

He also asked where Nikolas Ferreira was. #Eleições2024 #ManipulaçãoEleitoral #PT (translated)
