Laudelino said that he was closely following the situation in France, a country where he worked for a French company, studied the language, and had friends. In his assessment, the French situation resembled that of Brazil: although he considered the people good, he stated that they had lost the means to have their will respected. He wrote that in both countries, the parties, the press, and the state apparatus were leftist and that representative democracy had failed, leaving the interests of the population as a secondary concern. He also mentioned that there were already discussions about restoring the monarchy in France. Regarding French politics, he noted that Marie le Pen, a right-wing candidate, was emerging as the favorite, while the political structure resisted the possibility of losing space or rights. According to Laudelino, the French state consumed 57% of GDP per year, and since Mitterrand, the political proposal had been to continue spending and raising taxes. He stated that France was a Christian country but had become socialist and, for that reason, was bankrupt. As a solution for France and Brazil, he pointed to the past and cited Vendée, Louis IX, and Joan of Arc, in addition to criticizing the French Revolution, Bonapartism, and socialism. In conclusion, he said that the problem of both countries was the "software." #França #Democracia #História (translated)

Raul Sena stated that, in several countries, sectors of the left valued national industry, economic development, and productive capacity, citing China as an example. Regarding Brazil, he mentioned having the impression that part of this debate was lost and that small entrepreneurs were the target of jokes, such as the expression “CEO of MEI.” After visiting China, Sena said he reflected on the need for a consensus, despite political differences, around production, entrepreneurship, and the country's development. He also argued that structural challenges should receive at least as much attention as disputes over trans bathrooms. #DesenvolvimentoEconômico #Empreendedorismo #IndústriaNacional (translated)

Clarion de Laffalot assessed that the initiative had a less-than-expected start and attributed part of the result to what he called obstacles, particularly the judiciary's decision to prevent the organic circulation of content on social media. According to him, this harmed a party that depended almost exclusively on these platforms and had neither money nor TV time. The author also stated that the boycott of debates made the election even more polarized and indicated that, in his assessment, Brazilians were not interested in projects and proposals. Despite this, he described the result as the beginning of a long-term project and said that the cultural arm still had a lot of work to do. He added that the initiative continued to be the best available option, although Brazil, as he wrote, had a long tradition of choosing the worst. #política #eleições2023 #Brasil (translated)

Poponze wrote that Fernando Gabeira assessed the possible effects of a Flávio Bolsonaro election to the presidency. According to Gabeira, Bolsonaro had mentioned that he would relax environmental legislation, and his potential presidency could lead to strong climate denialism and intolerance towards indigenous peoples. Gabeira stated that the position attributed to Bolsonaro would advocate for the integration of indigenous peoples into mainstream society, leading to the disappearance of their cultures and traditions, and concluded that the outlook would not be promising. #MeioAmbiente #MudançasClimáticas #DireitosIndígenas (translated)

Isadora Brizola stated that her campaign mobilized more than 70,000 people and reached 83rd place among the candidacies for state deputy in São Paulo. According to her, the party's electoral quotient prevented the result from converting into a seat in the Alesp, but the votes were not in vain. Brizola said that the political project built was greater than an election and represented the recovery of a legacy and an idea of the country. She associated this tradition with education as a tool for emancipation, work as the foundation of dignity, and youth as a force for transformation. She thanked the people who supported her candidacy and stated that, although the election had ended, the struggle continued. She also mentioned Florestan Fernandes and concluded with the phrase: "The revolution will be educational." #Eleições2023 #Educação #LutaContraAsIdeiasDaForça (translated)

She stated that she was beginning a new tradition alongside two important women in her life. #Voto #Eleições2024 #Tradition (translated)

É incompreensível como pessoas com quem contamos, e em quem queremos acreditar, para além de não denunciarem MUSK como o maior perigo potencial para a democracia, a liberdade e a defesa da tradição intelectual do ocidente, usam a sua rede social, utilizam os seus automóveis e as suas redes de comunicação! Não se pode ser enganado e não se pode ser complacente com gente deste calibre. É que ele ainda por cima é muito novo!

TV Globo on the CANCELLATION of the debate: "Globo has a long tradition in organizing electoral debates. Our purpose is to promote the discussion of ideas for Brazil. To offer voters the opportunity to compare projects. Our duty is to promote democracy. But the successive court decisions made moments before the debate causes legal uncertainty and represent an undue interference in the freedom that the media has to organize electoral debates. For this reason, Globo decided to cancel tonight's debate." #debate #democracia #eleições (translated)

"THE FORCE WING" DISTURBS THE GAME (ONCE AGAIN) TO BENEFIT LULA In the way it is, an inevitable question arises: what are the rules of this election? Every day there is a new court decision interfering in the electoral process. This generates insecurity and feeds a serious doubt: if Flávio Bolsonaro wins at the polls, will the result be respected or could new decisions alter the course of the election? The episode of the Globo Network debate is yet another example of this discussion. A tradition from previous elections - leaving the podium empty for an absent candidate - has become the object of a court decision. Not even defining as a parameter for a high-level debate that the candidate's party has robust representation in the National Congress is respected anymore. It is also legitimate to question whether the same criteria adopted in 2022 are being applied in 2026. In the last election, for example, Jair Bolsonaro was prevented from streaming live from his official residence, as it was decided that this violated the equality of the race between candidates. Today, Lula gives live interviews to television channels from that same location. Regardless of who is the benefited or harmed candidate, democracy demands clear, predictable, and equal rules for all. When the rules change during the game, trust in the already moribund institutions is once again stabbed. And no democracy can treat this as something normal. In this way, it is better for the "Force Wing" of the STF to soon declare the winner of this and future elections. #Eleições2026 #Democracia #Justiça (translated)
