First Vice President and Minister of Economy, Carlos Cuerpo, recalled this week that the first assessment by AIReF has already been approved, along with a subsequent review, although with the objection that part of the system's revenue comes from direct transfers from the State, which will have to continue covering the deficit of Social Security. In this regard, Cuerpo pointed out that there is "a second closure mechanism," which is compliance with the fiscal rules with Europe, ensuring the sustainability of all public administrations. #pensiones #sostenibilidad #reforma (translated)

Roberto Reis stated that the electoral race was tight and, in his assessment, Lula had been regaining votes among voters from classes D and E, especially among those concerned about losing social benefits. According to him, this group had supported Flávio Bolsonaro in the first round after promises of improvements and prosperity. Reis said that Lula was not gaining votes from Augusto Cury, Ronaldo Caiado, or Renan, but from Flávio. The author claimed that there was an unprecedented fear campaign, with allegations of the political use of CRAS, daycare centers, and educational institutions, in addition to the circulation of false information. According to Reis, voters were being warned that they could lose their pensions, Bolsa Família, BPC, and minimum wage adjustments. Reis said that Flávio had already started to react with an advertisement about public safety, crime, and factions, which also reaffirmed the commitment to maintain and improve social programs. In the author's view, the response should be more incisive, with the participation of new allies. He also advocated for Flávio and Cleitinho to jointly present a national proposal for the IPVA, citing the discussion about the tax in Minas Gerais, where, according to him, Cleitinho won in the first round. Regarding the polls, Reis assessed that Flávio was still leading by about 2 points, possibly reaching 3 in the final stretch, while Lula faced greater rejection and a persistent ceiling. He noted that some polls already indicated a tie but expressed reservations about the sampling considerations, especially regarding the composition of social segments. For Reis, the transfer of votes from the third way had already occurred, and the challenge was to maintain the votes gained in the first round. He asked Rogério Marinho to demand greater participation from the new allies and a more precise direction for communication actions. #Eleições2024 #Lula #FlávioBolsonaro (translated)

Ángel Martínez stated that the Basque Government covered the deficit of its pensions with the income tax (IRPF) of the Spaniards from the common fiscal territory, who, according to what he wrote, were denied both the deflation of the tax and the revaluation of tax benefits. He also maintained that the Basque Government could deflate its own income tax thanks to a quota that he considered poorly calculated and to increasing transfers for pensions and other items. He accused the authorities of acting shamelessly and said that the taxpayers from the common territory were treated like second-class Spaniards. #Pensiones #IRPF #JusticiaFiscal (translated)

Attention, Vasco fans! It was reported that the President of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), Minister Luis Felipe Salomão, did not grant, on Thursday (15), the request from Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. to suspend the decision that authorized Vasco x Boca Juniors at Maracanã on October 20 at 9:30 PM for the semifinal of the Copa Sul-Americana. According to the report, Salomão considered that the concessionaire, constituted by Flamengo and Fluminense, did not have the legitimacy to appeal to this legal instrument, as it is a private company and does not act as a delegate of public service. The minister also understood that the choice of the stadium did not constitute a primary public interest that would justify the exceptional request. The publication stated that Fla-Flu Serviços had claimed risks related to the meeting of the fans, the operation of the stadium, the pitch, and the need for a minimum interval of 72 hours between matches. According to the report, Salomão concluded that the company did not prove a serious threat to public order, security, or the economy. He also pointed out that the transfer of the basketball game between Flamengo and Botafogo alleviated some of the concerns. Furthermore, according to Attention, Vasco fans!, the minister considered that potential damage to the pitch would not constitute serious harm to public assets nor justify the suspension. The publication added that he evaluated that the request could not substitute for a judicial appeal and that any questioning regarding the actions of judges from the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro should follow the appropriate appeal channels. The decision maintained the authorization for the match at Maracanã without suspension by the STJ. The publication described the outcome as a procedural victory for Vasco but noted that it did not end all possibilities for judicial contestation. It also informed that the decision concerning Safety Suspension No. 3,678/RJ was signed at 12:49 PM on October 15, 2026. #Vasco #BocaJuniors #Maracanã (translated)

Marina Helena stated that Lula was the favorite of part of the Brazilian elite and said that government spending raised interest rates and transferred wealth from taxpayers to rentiers. According to her, interventionist and state-driven policies allowed entrepreneurs willing to violate the Penal Code to ally with the government, preserve their fortunes, and protect themselves from competition. Helena said that this elite accepted, in exchange, a bigger state, higher taxes, slower growth, and the maintenance of dependence of the poorest on the government. She claimed that workers, entrepreneurs, and freelancers threatened this structure and that, in a country with lower taxes, spending, and interest rates, competition could displace the current privileged. She also mentioned that this group was realizing it was right-wing and that it was the majority. In the end, she advocated for voting for Flávio Bolsonaro, number 22, on October 25. #Lula #economia #direita (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that lulismo aimed to mobilize large groups with announcements of benefits funded by third parties close to elections, generating engagement on social media. Regarding individual micro-entrepreneurs (MEIs), he said they needed less taxation and bureaucracy, not debt forgiveness or transfers. In his assessment, measures of this kind could stimulate dependency, while their costs would later manifest in interest, inflation, and lower growth. Constantino added that the reaction on X indicated that part of the electorate still responded to these promises and that it was up to the opposition to highlight their potential costs. #Lulismo #Eleições2024 #Economia (translated)
