Laffalot criticized the "time bank" format and asked that it not be repeated, saying it required superficial answers. According to the author, a question about opposition to price fixing would take one second to ask and more than a minute to receive a minimally adequate answer. He stated that those answering could waste their time and leave their opponent talking alone for the final five minutes. For the author, the strategy in this format would be to make quick provocations, including personal insults, and preserve as much time as possible. #civismo #debate #comunicação (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that a technical note prepared by the Institute of Functional Finances for Development (IFFD) estimated the fiscal and social impacts of the adjustment measures announced by Flávio Bolsonaro's economic team. The projections for the next 10 and 20 years indicated a cumulative reduction of R$ 11 trillion, by 2046 and at today's prices, in spending on health, education, retirement, and BPC, compared to the current rules. Regarding the SUS, Manoel stated that, based on parameters from international scientific literature on the relationship between public spending on health and mortality, the study estimated 742,000 additional deaths that could be avoided in twenty years. According to him, the number could reach 1.14 million in the scenarios with the greatest impact. Manoel also said that, even with the measures, the announced adjustment target of 2% of GDP would not be achieved by 2034.

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)
