Karina Michelin wrote that Flávio Bolsonaro was interviewed by Renata Lo Prete on Globo on October 16, nine days before the second round. According to her, he confronted Lula, criticized the Supreme Federal Court, and presented government proposals. Michelin reported that the interview addressed Banco Master and suspicions involving Alexandre de Moraes. When asked about Kassio Nunes Marques, nominated by Jair Bolsonaro and mentioned in messages from Daniel Vorcaro, Flávio stated that the law should apply to everyone. He invoked Law 1.079, advocated for the impeachment of ministers, and accused Moraes of acting as Lula's political strategist in Brasília. In the area of security, Flávio announced that he intended to gather commanders of the Armed Forces and police chiefs in January to combat drug trafficking. He also stated that he would seek to classify Comando Vermelho, PCC, and militias as narcoterrorist organizations, strengthen surveillance at the Port of Santos and borders, including the Amazon, and join the Shield of the Americas to share intelligence information. Regarding the outcome of the elections, he said he would respect it. Flávio also stated that the first round indicated a desire for change and criticized Lula's government for violence against women, family indebtedness, wildfires, and business closures. At the end of the interview, according to Michelin, he committed to not promising what he could not fulfill, to restore purchasing power, and to return safety to the streets. Michelin stated that Flávio declared himself ready for the Presidency and described his candidacy as a project from God. She also wrote that the debate between him and Lula was scheduled for October 18 on TV Bandeirantes, presenting the contest as a confrontation between two projects for the country. #Brasil #Política #Eleições2023 (translated)

Gil Diniz stated that Flávio Bolsonaro responded, during a live broadcast, to threats from factions and reinforced his position against crime.

Santi C. said that in some private talks he had warned about the risks that, in his opinion, the expansion of smart cars of Chinese origin entailed. He raised the concern that, in the event of a possible global conflict in the coming decades, someone from the Chinese Communist Party could shut down a third of the Argentine automotive fleet. He also pointed out that those vehicles could capture and transmit audio, video, and GPS data. He added that those who were listening thought he was crazy, although he said he did not rule out that possibility. #Ciberseguridad #AutosInteligentes #RiesgosTecnológicos (translated)

"I am going to declare, starting in January of next year, war on drug trafficking. I am going to classify the PCC, the Comando Vermelho, and the militias as narcoterrorist organizations. The criminal will stay in prison much longer, they will be isolated in one of the five new federal prisons that I am going to build, which will be called TREVA. This is to instill fear. Fear of walking the streets again, fear of bringing violence to so many people." Flávio plans to open 500,000 prison spots and construct five maximum-security federal prisons inspired by Bukele's prison model in El Salvador, named 'TREVA', which means 'darkness' in Portuguese." #Brasil #Bolsonaro #seguridad (translated)

Allan Dos Santos published five questions about the first round of the election. He questioned why the Workers' Party would be so desperate and if it had anything to do with a request for the release of Marcinho VP after 30 years of imprisonment. He also asked if ministers from the Supreme Federal Court were threatened by members of the PCC and CV. Dos Santos further asked why the United States had closed embassies while part of their military forces was on Brazilian territory and spoke about a terrorist threat. Finally, he questioned if any politician was aware of the threat and was relying on it to prevent the elections, before returning to the question about the Workers' Party. #Eleições2023 #PolíticaBrasileira #SegurançaPública (translated)

The NYT points to interference from the Trump government to favor Flavio. This should be enough for Brazilians to be worried. The tone of the report is one of fear of looting and plundering the country's wealth. This would happen for decades. I have an opinion at the end. What the NYT claims, in summary: The newspaper states that it has not openly endorsed any candidate, but that the American government is trying to favor Flávio Bolsonaro against Lula. The text cites, as examples of these measures, tariffs, sanctions against Brazilian authorities, the designation of PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorist organizations, and questions about electronic voting machines. Brazilian authorities, diplomats, and electoral technicians interviewed by the newspaper (many anonymously) say that Brazil is setting up a “barrier” to reduce the risk of interference: monitoring foreign lobbying and disinformation, responding to fraud allegations, and discussions with countries in Europe, Asia, and others about a joint reaction after the election. Lula, at the UN and in campaign propaganda, accused the Trump government of interfering to “colonize” Brazil and take its natural resources. The newspaper emphasizes that it is unclear whether this push helps Flávio. In a close contest, a nudge from Trump could decide, but it could also provoke an anti-Trump reaction and increase the vote for Lula, as the NYT says happened in Canada and Australia. The article has a tone of fear, in Brazil, that something similar to what Trump did in other countries could be repeated, coupled with American measures that the newspaper interprets as favorable to the right. All in all: within what the NYT itself can do, the pressure from the Trump government on the press is systematic, it's a big alert. However, I think Brazilians still do not grasp the magnitude of what lies ahead. There will be decades of political, economic, democratic, and social backsliding. Many do not want to hear it. They are mistakenly convinced otherwise. The plundering will run rampant and there will be no one to investigate. #Brasil #Política #Eleições (translated)

Haddad, in the moment, when talking about Tarcísio's connection with Milton Leite, arrested for ties with the PCC: 'You were asking for votes for him 15 days ago.' #DebateNaGlobo HADDAD ON GLOBO TARCÍSIO IS A TRAGEDY https://t.co/IKb5fz5ecG #Política #Debate #Eleições (translated)

Polícia Civil denunciando a precarização do Tarcísio de Freitas. Fez promessas e não cumpriu. Hoje, a polícia está à própria sorte, com salários baixos e precarização das delegacias. Fora a infiltração do PCC. Vale lembrar que Derrite trocou todos os comandos. A pergunta que fica é: se nem a polícia apoia Tarcísio, por que você vai votar nele? #Polícia #Precarização #Eleições2024

Se proibir bet não muda nada, por que os donos das bets estão reclamando? Se desse para operar ilegalmente igual, sem imposto e sem perder cliente, era motivo para comemorar. Nunca vi PCC fazendo lobby pela legalização da cocaína. A verdade é simples: proibição não zera, mas reduz acesso, publicidade e consumo. Fato objetivo. #proibição #legalização #apostasinternet
