"I am convinced that those who do not know and do not practice the value of respect for others will never be able to share a political path with us.” The Minister for Public Administration (and Secretary of Forza Italia in Piedmont) Paolo Zangrillo agreed: “I am convinced that those who do not know and do not practice the value of respect for others will never be able to share a political path with us.” (translated)

Montoya compared Franco's attitude to that of Max Verstappen: drivers who, when they see an opportunity, try to take advantage of it. For him, that aggressiveness also means accepting that mistakes will sometimes be made. “When you are always the guy, like Max, who sees an opportunity to take advantage of it, you are going to make mistakes,” he explained. Montoya made it clear that the accident was Franco's responsibility, but he positively valued that he tried to advance. (translated)

I don't even know why there is still a beef between JL and M8. Factually, M8 is going to have one of the biggest European budgets on VALO. And yes, JL is not fighting with the same weapons as M8, TH, TL... and yet, they will manage to build a good roster as usual. And good luck to JL, because for once, Tomy has always given his all to make his team shine. #Peace #BoasterMentality (translated)

🚨 Flamengo estimates a loss of R$ 400 million per year due to the end of bets. The main loss is the master sponsorship contract of R$ 268 million per year, which also includes amounts for Olympic sports and women's football. Another impact may come from the contract of about R$ 63 million with Brax for the advertising boards of the Brasileirão. Most advertisers were betting houses. In the Campeonato Carioca, there is also an agreement with Brax and naming rights for betting houses. Fla receives about R$ 27 million, with a good part of the rights paid by Globo to Brax and the rest coming from commercial revenue. The calculation also includes other sponsors and resources from laws that incentivize Olympic sports. The club also estimates having 100,000 shirts produced by Adidas with the master sponsor's brand that cannot be sold, in addition to the loss of royalties. There are also possible impacts on the COPA DO BRASIL and the BRASILEIRÃO, competitions with naming rights for bets. With all this, Flamengo calculates a loss of around R$ 400 MILLION PER YEAR. If the scenario is confirmed, Rubro-Negro will have to REVIEW EXPENSES for 2027. (translated)

Corinthians expects a loss of nearly HALF A BILLION reais due to restrictions on bets; the impact could be greater. The Timão understands that it would lose at least R$ 480 MILLION from the master sponsorship contract related to 2027, 2028, and 2029. The loss could increase due to amounts such as bonuses for titles. Other revenues may also be affected. The club fears a "rebound effect" on the contract with Brax, responsible for the advertising boards at the Neo Química Arena in the Brasileirão, due to the presence of the bets on the boards. This agreement guarantees R$ 330 MILLION until 2029. The TV share is also a concern: the contract with FFU yields just over R$ 1 billion until 2029. It amounts to about R$ 210 million per year, potentially reaching R$ 250 million with performance bonuses. In Series A, 14 of the 20 clubs have betting companies as main sponsors. The companies paid R$ 1.145 billion in sponsorships to the 20 clubs with the highest revenue in Brazil last year. (translated)

Why is it that when people talk about the militia family, everyone thinks of the Bolsonaro family, including the STF minister André Mendonça? The connections of the Bolsonaro family and Flávio with militias are well known: Captain Adriano, Major Ronald, Colonel Cláudio, not to mention the funding given by the senator to an NGO linked to the militiaman Peixe, in the amount of nearly R$ 200,000.

🚨 Now! Corinthians wanted 3 months of adaptation without bets and sees a "near-devastated" scenario with an impact worse than the exit of Caixa from football in 2019. Timão wanted 90 days to seek new revenues and reduce the impact on already assumed commitments, but this deadline was not included in the Provisional Measure signed by President Lula. To continue being valid, the MP needs to be approved by Congress within 120 days. • CORINTHIANS MONITORS IMPACT ON CONTRACTS The board hopes the government will consider the effects on the clubs. Timão projects a decrease in revenue and assesses that, in the short term, there are no companies capable of paying the amounts offered by bets. • IMPACT WORSE THAN CAIXA The board believes that the impact may exceed the exit of Caixa from football. The club's agreement with the bank ended in 2017, and the Alvinegro went 21 months without a fixed major sponsor. In Corinthians' assessment, the bets raised the financial level of sponsorships. The club still does not know at what level these amounts will stabilize. • MAJOR SPONSORSHIP Timão has a contract with a betting house until 2029. The agreement yields R$ 150 million fixed per year, potentially reaching R$ 200 million. In financial difficulty, Corinthians was counting on the money generated by the MP to keep the accounts up to date. The board estimates that about 15 clubs in Serie A may have difficulties paying salaries after the betting ban. (translated)

After breaking a historic voting record, I decided it was time to step further out from behind the scenes and also stand at the forefront, knowing that this would mean becoming an even greater target. The social and political circumstances of the country led me to make this decision. And Santa Catarina was not a calculated choice, one of convenience or circumstance. I came here because I chose to be here. Because I have always loved Santa Catarina. Because I identify with its people, their values, and their way of life. I came because this is my home. I know that I participated and continue to participate in the construction of a right-wing movement in Brazil. We elected the last president of the Republic, the most voted federal deputy in history, and we are daily involved in the nurturing of the future head of the national executive, in addition to actively helping to elect many who have betrayed us and, above all, many good people. A process of nearly 3 decades with almost 2,000 projects and laws, in addition to mainly bringing attention by preventing the approval of harmful legislation to our entire society. I am just one of the 500,000 migrants who have come to Santa Catarina in recent years, bringing with them love, passion, life experience, and above all, respect. And who will decide in the end is the beloved people of Santa Catarina. Let's go! Let's go SC. Let's go Brazil. (translated)

@mcfernandes is one of the best journalists in traditional media. She does absolutely serious work and has not invented a fake news. She made a sharp observation, moreover, most likely based on inquiries with people inside the Catholic Church. Before her, I had already mentioned on TV Fórum that I found the movement of bishops and priests on social media defending democracy and sovereignty strange, and they made it clear in posts on social media that part of the Church was positioning itself against Flávio Bolsonaro's candidacy. A video of bishops from the Amazon region is what caught my attention to this. But after that, several others appeared. Pastor Zé Barbosa explained this movement. There was a reaction to Flávio's statement that his first act would be to hand the country over to Lord Jesus. Church leaders understood that statement as anti-Catholic due to the value that the Church places on Mary and Our Lady Aparecida, especially in Brazil. The fact that the Catholic Church has saints is something traditionally fought against by the vast majority of evangelical denominations, and Maria Cristina did not invent the project of a former Bolsonaro deputy who is running for election. It exists. It is archived and can be unarchived at any moment. Church sources may have alerted her to this. What astonishes me in all this is that despite the massacre that the colleague in the profession is going through, very few journalists have come to her defense. Either they preferred silence or are saying that she produced a fake news. In much less serious cases of attacks, many of them have gone to social media and used their platforms to defend freedom of the press and expression. Now they join the mob that will likely silence them if their candidate is elected. The same silence is happening with professional journalist organizations. They are silent. What they are doing to an excellent professional is absolutely repugnant. Nothing is more cowardly and shameful. As they also remained silent in the face of the terrifically evangelical minister's decision to censor the networks of hundreds of people. In a decision he took 40 minutes to make. I hope this silence and massacre towards Maria Cristina does not cost democracy in Brazil. Because if that happens, these journalist colleagues will have been complicit along with their organizations. (translated)

President of Fluminense, Mattheus Montenegro criticizes the Provisional Measure that prohibits bets in Brazil: "What worries Fluminense and all of Brazilian football is the impact of a measure taken overnight. Here (at Fluminense), the impact exceeds R$ 100 million. It is a major concern for the club." "This measure causes most Brazilian clubs to lose sponsorship at the same time. This devalues the asset because interested companies will have almost all clubs available, reducing the market value of the shirts." "There is the issue of legal security, since the measure was taken overnight, without transition, and may violate laws and the Constitution. In addition, bets raised R$ 9 billion for the Government between January and August 2026, and the measure does not estimate the impact on this revenue. There is also the risk of strengthening the underground market, in addition to the lack of urgency, as the topic has been discussed in Congress." (translated)

"What has gradually changed is the perception of risk. For years, interest rates were extraordinarily low, and that's why we leaned towards variable rates, but little by little, the consumer taking out a mortgage is giving more weight to stability than to benefiting from low rates." For Ferran Font, director of Studies at pisos.com, this is proof that buyers value the stability and security of knowing in advance what the cost of their long-term financing will be. (translated)

In 2024, betting companies that wanted to operate in Brazil until 2029 had to pay a concession fee of R$ 30 million. Fast forward to 2026: the government prohibits, via an MP, betting in national territory. And what about the concession fee? Well 👇🏻 (translated)
