Press Release: Defense statement from Antonio Tabet regarding the victory at the TSE The defense of actor, presenter, screenwriter, and comedian Antonio Tabet publicly celebrates the recent and paradigm-shifting victory in the Superior Electoral Court in favor of freedom of criticism, opinion, expression of thought, and religion. In judging the case, the TSE Collegiate overturned the concerning initial decisions made by Minister André Mendonça, which risked direct censorship of absolutely true content, humorous expressions, and, even more alarmingly, prayers and requests for blessings to Our Lady Aparecida. In line with the arguments upheld by this Defense from the beginning, the Electoral Court concluded the obvious; that is, it is not lawful for the State to censor factually true content; it is not lawful to censor prayers and acts of faith; it is not lawful to censor opinions or humor. The corrective action of Justice, expressed in the order to exclude content, should be strictly and exclusively limited to publications that are objectively false. We take this opportunity, in respect for the loyalty of public debate and to leave no doubts, to reiterate that: the legislative initiative to remove Our Lady Aparecida from the status of Patroness of Brazil is not authored or proposed by candidate Flávio Bolsonaro. On the other hand, it is a fact that allies (political and religious) of Flávio Bolsonaro publicly defend and promote such an initiative and, in public and notorious cases, promote attacks against institutions linked to the Catholic Church. The free scrutiny of the network of relationships of public figures is a pillar of democracy and cannot be silenced. Furthermore, let this October, the month of Our Lady Aparecida, be the time for the Brazilian people to make their own judgment. Lucas Mourão André Matheus Rodrigo Rollemberg (translated)

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: In a meeting last night, groups from the São Paulo Situation defined that Harry Massis WILL NOT be the candidate for the presidency at the end of the year. In recent weeks, Massis informed his political allies of his desire to run, but yesterday he was informed that he would not have the support of the other groups. Vinicius Medeiros, from Legião Tricolor, is the favorite. José Edgard Galvão and Mário Braga are also in the running. The meeting also served to define the name of the slate, which will be "São Paulo ahead," with a sky blue visual identity. (translated)

🤔Some reflections on the voting on Friday 👇 🫡 Left-wing parties will abide by what social organizations say, as happened with the RD of Palestine. 😮‍💨 That this generates relief in the PSOE and Sumar (while making things easier for Junts and the PNV) and causes some 😠 frustration in the squares and left-wing groups should be understood as the reality of politics. The congratulations from Minister Puente, so outraged these days by the maximalism of the demands, say it all. 📰 Just look at today's covers of the progressive media to understand that we are in another scenario. The media expect that the squares will empty from tomorrow. 🤔Could it have been different? Rufián disavowing Junqueras by saying that ERC's vote was not assured, or various economists from the Sumar environment criticizing the measures of the decrees as insufficient, made me think that there could be a pressure block on the Government beyond Podemos and squares full of younger individuals more radicalized than the social organizations. 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋‍♀️ But it is the tenant unions that are responsible for pinpointing the scope of their objectives and defining their strategy for mobilization and negotiation. And this must be accepted. 🚩However, beyond that, the street has once again taken on political prominence in Spain and has gone beyond social organizations. The squares, as was the case with 15M, have managed to place the debate on housing (an ideological one, without a doubt) at the political center and have allowed left mobilization to regain momentum. 🔴 From the experiences of mobilization processes, new political leaders always emerge. I have spoken with some members of youth political organizations who have learned a lot these days from their prominence in the squares. Order reigns in Berlin... For now... (translated)

GRAVE! School buses from the state public network of Bahia would have been used to transport PT militants to Lula's campaign event in Salvador, alongside Governor Jerônimo Rodrigues. This is the use of public resources for political purposes. Electoral law prohibits the use of public property for campaign benefit. Where is the TSE? (translated)
