Deltan Dallagnol stated that, during the Band debate, Sidônio Palmeira, whom he described as the Minister of Secom and Lula's campaign strategist, interrupted the broadcast and disrespected journalists who were trying to maintain the program's rules. According to Dallagnol, the episode showed desperation behind the scenes of a campaign where Lula was confronted live and lost control of the narrative. He said that the end of the Lula era was scheduled for October 25. He also stated that Flávio finished the first round ahead and that the PT relied on the complacency of voters. Dallagnol urged votes for Flávio Bolsonaro, number 22, and for the video to be sent to people who did not vote or chose another candidate. #Lula #Eleição2023 #PolíticaBrasileira (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. He shared the note to receive criticism and contributions to the debate. https://t.co/iToXaFiANs #Finanças #Saúde #Economia (translated)

There is a reason why Russia tried to interfere in the Brexit vote: they knew that if we left, it would harm both the United Kingdom and the European Union. They were very clear about this — and, wow, how right they turned out to be. This caused damage to our economic, social, and cultural life. Wales alone lost, net, 1 billion pounds in regional funding that it would have received from the EU. This rupture considerably weakened opportunities — especially for young people — to work, live abroad, and enjoy the freedoms we had before. We could rejoin the Customs Union or the Single Market; but if we did so in isolation, we would merely be 'rule takers' — we would have to accept everything that the EU determined without being at the table to negotiate. As someone in the audience pointed out, the European Union is changing. But that is not a reason for us not to return; on the contrary, it is the ideal reason for us to be inside and help shape it into the kind of Union we want. I don't believe there is any other option but to fully rejoin the bloc. The journalist George Monbiot (working at the BBC) brought this Russian interference back into the spotlight by publicly declaring: “There is a reason why Russia tried to interfere in the Brexit vote: they knew that if we left, it would harm both the United Kingdom and the European Union.

I understand the people's indignation on the street, but I also make an appeal: express your indignation, but seek to respect democratic rules and the right to protest, because the right to protest also implies respecting public order and security.
