Truecaller stated that the risk in Argentina was increasing, while that of Brazil was at its lowest historical level. It said that there were proposals to apply a model in Brazil that had already failed in Argentina, Chile, Peru, and the United States. It also claimed that the debt of those countries was growing faster than Brazil's, along with unemployment, while public services deteriorated. The publication attributed part of the complaints about the situation in Brazil to the perception that it could not get worse and cited the effects of the war in Ukraine on fertilizers, the war in Iran on oil, and Donald Trump's tariffs on global inflation. Truecaller acknowledged that the country needed to improve but assessed that the situation could be worse. Finally, it warned that cuts to health, education, security, and the Bolsa Família, the freezing of public servants' salaries and the minimum wage, as well as Petrobras acting under a free market model, could lead to a truck drivers' strike and weak economic growth. #Argentina #Brasil #CriseEconômica (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that Minister Kassio Nunes Marques, from the TSE, determined, after a request from Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign, the suspension of the circulation of the newspaper Petróleo dos Brasileiros, produced by Sindipetro Unificado. According to Manoel, the decision interrupted the distribution of printed copies and ordered the removal of the digital version, which provided analyses on Petrobras, privatizations, labor rights, and political projects in dispute in the 2026 elections. Manoel condemned what he classified as an attempt at censorship and said that the measure indicated what an eventual management of Flávio Bolsonaro would be like. He also stated that the candidate had met with the leadership of Globo before the hearing. He expressed solidarity with the workers of the union and defended freedom of the press, the right to information, and union autonomy. #LiberdadeDeImprensa #Sindicato #Censura (translated)

David Alandete reported that Marco Rubio had said that India was willing to increase the purchase and refining of Venezuelan oil, and that the United States would discuss this possibility tomorrow with Reliance, one of the major Indian energy groups. According to Alandete, Rubio noted that India could process Venezuelan heavy crude, as it had done previously, and that its companies had the necessary technology and experience. He also stated that Venezuela could not alone compensate for possible supply losses caused by international conflicts, although it could partially alleviate the situation in the short term. #Venezuela #India #Petróleo (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that the government, despite presenting itself as favorable to business owners and the country, was weakening the minimum wage and re-prioritizing oil, although —according to what he wrote— there was no oil.

David Alandete argued that asking about Venezuela was an essential part of journalism and stated that those who asked journalists to stop doing so showed a limited view of press freedom and democracy. He asserted that it was just as legitimate to ask about Venezuela at the White House or the State Department as it was to ask about Ukraine, Iran, or France. According to Alandete, it was not the journalists who placed Venezuela among the priorities of U.S. policy: he recalled that Donald Trump threatened in the summer of 2017 to resort to military force against Nicolás Maduro and that, nine years later, he fulfilled that threat. He also pointed out that Trump dedicated a good part of his first speech before the United Nations General Assembly in September 2017 to denouncing the Venezuelan dictatorship. Alandete said that journalists were asking about Delcy Rodríguez, María Corina Machado, oil, political prisoners, elections, and the future of the country. He added that Machado had been received in the Oval Office by George W. Bush in 2005, that Marco Rubio had supported her candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize, and that Trump had met with her twice in the White House at his own discretion. Finally, he maintained that stopping questions about Machado, Rodríguez, or other protagonists of the crisis for fear of uncomfortable answers confused journalism with something else. He stated that the job of journalists was to ask, verify, and report what was happening, not to protect politicians or limit themselves to asking questions favorable to a cause. #Periodismo #LibertadDePrensa #Venezuela (translated)

Felipe Núñez stated that YPF had reached a record total production and that it had never extracted so much oil, even without counting Vaca Muerta. He claimed that the conventional wells had been sold and were being operated by small and medium-sized companies, including Pérez Companc, because, he said, they were more cost-efficient. Núñez pointed out that the governors of Chubut and Santa Cruz had been working on the issue and that production had stopped declining. He also defended that a large company like YPF should concentrate its operations in the most productive areas, in this case, Vaca Muerta. In response to Dino, he stated that price control could reduce production and cause shortages, and he mentioned as examples the lack of wheat that, as he wrote, Dino had suffered and the gasoline shortage during Massa's management. #YPF #Petróleo #VacaMuerta (translated)

The largest oil intervention in history, carried out by the countries of the International Energy Agency, aims to mitigate supply disruptions caused by the war in the Middle East, but the future need to replenish these reserves could again drive up crude prices. #Petróleo #Economía #IntervenciónEstatal (translated)

Of course, we do not agree with the purchase of diesel from Russia by the United States, as diesel and oil are what drive and fuel the Russian war machinery.

Reinaldo Azevedo wrote that, from Flávio's interview with Globo, he understood that he intended to cut R$ 200 billion in spending by reducing ministries and eliminating waste, in addition to exploring the oil from the Equatorial Margin starting in 2033. Azevedo criticized the statements, saying that they could at least make sense, even if they were false. He also associated Friedman’s phrase that “there is no free lunch” with the idea that free and salty food causes thirst and allows for profit from the sale of drinks. #Política #Economia #Ministérios (translated)
