Vinicios Betiol criticized the president of the PT, Edinho Silva, for advocating the resumption of bets and opposing the ban decreed by President Lula. According to Betiol, Silva deemed a transition period necessary. The author also stated that the position was presented while Silva was defending open list voting, which, in Betiol's assessment, would take away the voter's right to directly choose their candidates. Betiol called for the left to position itself against what he called bureaucrats, whom he blamed for the disastrous campaign in the first round. He stated that, after the grassroots helped elect Lula, party leaders were trying to impose agendas that they did not support. Betiol said he could be persecuted within the PT, but that he would continue the struggle for his commitment to the grassroots, and not with political leaderships that, according to him, prioritized personal projects. #Política #PT #Democracia (translated)

David Ágape stated that, 25 days after the Lula government suspended betting sites that it had regulated and licensed, illegal houses were still operational. According to him, the government had not taken measures regarding the problem and was focused on trying to get re-elected. Ágape said that the market was regulated in 2023 with the argument of combating illegal betting and protecting bettors. The licensed sites, he stated, went offline starting October 6. He also mentioned a manifestation from the AGU to the STF about the risk of bettors migrating to the illegal market, which, according to estimates he cited, already represented between 38% to 44% or more of the sector. The author claimed that influencers with millions of followers were still promoting illegal betting houses in Instagram stories, despite reports made by A Investigação. He said that no measures had been taken up to that point and that he would continue to monitor the case. https://t.co/1V9t284QDz #ApostasIlegais #Lula #Regulamentação (translated)

Jones Manoel wrote that, according to a report from the newspaper O POVO, executives from Rede Globo met with Flávio Bolsonaro hours before a hearing to discuss the possible legalization of bets, which were banned by the Lula government. According to the report, the ban affected the financial interests of Grupo Globo, which would operate in this market through MGM Bet and advertising contracts. Manoel stated that the meeting should be debated because, while workers depended on the maintenance of their rights, executives from the network would have discussed economic interests and changes in labor legislation with a presidential candidate shortly before interviewing him. He also said that Globo was neither progressive nor defended democracy, but rather the interests of the elite and imperialism, and questioned how the financial interests of large companies could influence political maneuvering and journalistic coverage. #Globo #Política #Brasil (translated)
