Xico Graziano stated that a report by the magazine VEJA about supposed payments linked to Lula had provoked a reaction within the PT. According to him, PT members denied the accusations, said there was no evidence, and echoed a contestation from the Federal Police. In summarizing the report, Graziano said that banker Vorcaro reported having negotiated with João Vaccari Neto, former treasurer of the PT, payments to obtain access to pension funds for federal employees. According to the excerpt of the article he shared, it would amount to R$ 30 million in cash destined for the Lula Institute to fund a documentary about Lula abroad, in addition to another undisclosed amount paid directly to the institute, managed by Paulo Okamotto. Graziano added that Vorcaro had provided details to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which did not proceed with the case as it deemed there was insufficient evidence. The banker’s defense, according to the account reproduced by the author, mentioned WhatsApp messages and records of withdrawals and deliveries of money. Graziano expressed belief that VEJA would not publish the report without confidence in the material and assessed that the published piece would merely be a preview of new revelations. He considered the story credible, although there might not be definitive proof, and compared the case to the Atibaia site, which, according to him, was not registered in Lula's name in the registry office. In Graziano's view, the report would harm the PT and Lula's campaign, discouraging voters and causing some to give up on voting. He stated that the case would reduce Lula's chances of reversing a defeat in the first round. #Lula #Petismo #VEJA (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)

JH Fonseca wrote that Lula's campaign had entered a phase of internal persecution, with conflicts on various fronts. He said that Janones accused members of the old petista guard of sabotaging Ana Elisa's efforts and that traditional petistas considered her radical publications disastrous. In the end, he encouraged those involved to keep fighting. #Lula #Petismo #Política (translated)

Leandro Ruschel shared the account of a reporter from Veja about alleged dealings of Banco Master with members of the PT and fund managers. According to the material cited by the journalist, Daniel Vorcaro's partner contacted Jaques Wagner, then leader of Lula's government in the Senate, to arrange a meeting with João Vaccari Neto, the party's former treasurer. After the meeting, the reporter stated, the bank would have organized fundraising with funds whose presidents had been appointed by Vaccari and by names from the PT and appointed or endorsed by Lula. The account indicated that, near the end of the first semester of 2024, Banco Master obtained authorization from the federal government to operate and raise funds from the funds. Vorcaro would have reached out to operators linked to members of the government, including Alexandre Padilha, then Minister of Institutional Relations, with the goal of raising R$ 10 billion from the funds. In exchange, he allegedly agreed to pay the PT 10% of the total raised, according to the reporter. According to the account, Vaccari demanded R$ 30 million in cash from Augusto Lima to finance a documentary about Lula that Oliver Stone was producing in the United States. Vorcaro reportedly said that the money was delivered through messengers and PT operators. The reporter also stated that Vorcaro mentioned payments to the Instituto Lula, coordinated with Paulo Okamotto, a friend of the president and manager of the institution. #Política #Corrupção #Lula (translated)

Flávio Gordon summarized an article from Veja stating that Vorcaro allegedly negotiated payments with Vaccari to gain access to pension funds of federal employees controlled by the PT. Gordon claimed that Vorcaro would have paid a bribe to the party in exchange for access to the pension funds of state-owned companies, which, according to him, would be equivalent to taking money from retirees. He also questioned whether Flávia Oliveira would show concern for retirees. #Corrupção #Petismo #Aposentados (translated)

Julio Schneider stated that Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master and arrested for fraud, reported in audios and documents obtained by VEJA a proposal involving R$ 30 million in cash for the Lula Institute. According to Schneider, the account was part of an attachment presented to the Attorney General's Office in June, as part of a second plea bargain proposal that was discarded due to lack of corroboration. According to the version attributed to Vorcaro, Augusto Lima, then partner and CEO of Master, allegedly approached João Vaccari Neto through Jaques Wagner, then leader of Lula's government in the Senate. Vaccari would have conditioned the bank's accreditation for federal pension funds — Previ, Caixa Asset, Funcef, Petros, and Postalis — on two payments to the Lula Institute, headed by Paulo Okamotto: about R$ 30 million in cash to cover expenses of the documentary about Lula directed by Oliver Stone and another undisclosed amount. Schneider also wrote that Vaccari would have asked for 10% of the resources that Master raised from the funds. If the plan had materialized, according to the estimate attributed to Vorcaro, the Workers' Party would receive about R$ 1 billion and Vorcaro R$ 9 billion; the operation did not progress. The author emphasized that this was Vorcaro's version, not a conviction. Schneider also pointed out that, in the audio, Vorcaro contrasted the sponsorship of the film about Bolsonaro, which he described as regular, with the support for the documentary about Lula, which would have been paid in cash. #Lula #Corrupção #Documentário (translated)

Jakelyne Loiola stated that VEJA had access to reports from banker Daniel Vorcaro, in which he allegedly said he negotiated with former PT treasurer João Vaccari Neto payments to gain access to pension funds for federal employees controlled by the PT. According to Loiola, Vorcaro reported having paid R$ 30 million in cash to the Lula Institute, managed by Paulo Okamoto, to finance a documentary about Lula abroad, in addition to another undisclosed amount directly to the institution.

Tsuki stated that, currently, no political force besides the petismo was comparable to bolsonarismo and that there was no right without Bolsonaro. She also mentioned that members of her group could leave and become bolsonaristas without facing opposition or being called traitors, something that, according to her, would happen for the first time. #Bolsonarismo #Petismo #Direita (translated)

I'm going to tell you something: If the biggest servant of the petismo is already desperate by sticking to Renan, things are looking bad for them. Some tracking is pointing to tragedy, it's a lot of despair! https://t.co/uQjBFGqD42 #política #Brasil #desespero (translated)

There is no mystery in Lula's retreat. Whoever has been governing for almost twelve years combined does not want to be charged for gross debt at 82.9% of GDP, record household delinquency, and the transformation of the Supreme Court into an electoral committee. Petism prefers the controlled platform, the Bolsa Família, and the narrative of "threat to democracy." Flávio accepts the risk of confrontation. An election that defines four future seats in the Supreme Court cannot be decided through retreat and the apparatus of the state. Sunday is the 22nd. #Lula #Política #Eleições (translated)

A desistência do Ricardo Salles e seu acadelamento ao sistema só mostra, mais uma vez, o óbvio! Só a MISSÃO tem coragem de combater Petismo, Bolsonarismo e Centrão. Não tem acordo, é 14 ou nada. #Política #Brasil #Corrupção

Mais uma vez o STF se intromete na seara eleitoral para proteger narrativas favoráveis ao lulismo. Dino, ex-ministro de Lula e agora guardião seletivo das liberdades, derruba uma liminar que apenas combatia fake news notoriamente inverídicas. O padrão é claro: quando a mentira atinge a direita, o Supremo silencia ou amplia a censura; quando atinge o petismo ou seus aliados, vira “liberdade de expressão”. O ativismo judicial continua corroendo a credibilidade das instituições e transformando a Justiça em instrumento de campanha. #STF #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Justiça
