Vinicios Betiol stated that platforms like X and Meta manipulated the reach of candidates during the elections in Brazil and argued that the issue should be debated. According to him, left-wing candidates' profiles began receiving between 5% and 10% of their previous reach, while Nikolas Ferreira's profile was boosted. Betiol said that his profile on X used to reach 70 million people per month, but it fell to about 1 million during the election period. He also claimed that Nikolas had a greater reach than major international stars, despite electoral laws prohibiting recommendations to non-followers. Regarding his own campaign, Betiol stated that he encountered people on the streets who followed him, but many did not know he was a candidate because big techs had stopped distributing his posts. He attributed Nikolas's promotion by Meta to the fact that the deputy was the most voted and elected his own bench, whose members he considered mostly unprepared. Betiol accused the TSE of not recognizing the seriousness of the problem and said that democracy was at risk. He also claimed that his reach was starting to recover, that he had already filed a lawsuit with the Electoral Court, and that he intended to continue the dispute after the elections. According to him, he would continue addressing the issue even without receiving sufficient attention from a large part of the left. #Eleições2023 #Democracia #RedesSociais (translated)

David Ágape wrote that the Attorney General of the Union, Jorge Messias, used an official profile with a seal and link to the AGU to campaign for Lula. He stated that Messias followed a direction from André Janones and criticized the conduct as subservient to the president. Ágape said that, about six months earlier, the AGU, then led by Messias, had published a guideline stating that public agents could not use the prestige of their position or institutional visibility to promote candidacies nor confuse personal manifestations with official positions. According to him, the official channels of the AGU were also restricted during the election period. The author recalled that Messias had been nominated by Lula to the Supreme Court but was rejected by the Senate. Ágape stated that this was the first rejection of a presidential nominee to the Court since 1894. He also questioned whether a revelation attributed to the outlet A Investigação would have influenced the rejection: according to the cited report, Messias signed an AGU opinion favorable to aspects of late abortion and later reportedly cried and said he signed without reading. In the end, Ágape stated that Messias would be close to leaving the position and suggested he would return to acting as a messenger for his political group. https://t.co/KMq0Oyg2R9 #Política #Brasil #AGU (translated)

Helena Ferro de Gouveia wrote that messages exchanged by Nélson Vassalo with friends before the March for Life attack had led the Public Ministry to underline the premeditated nature of the act. According to the author, messages found on Vassalo's mobile phone after the attack and his first arrest on March 21, 2026, revealed a concern in constructing a favorable version. Ferro de Gouveia reported that on March 27, a friend suggested they start disseminating that the target of the Molotov cocktail was the stairs of the Assembly of the Republic, in a protest against housing policies, and not the march. The friend also argued that the version should be conveyed by someone with visibility. When Vassalo asked who, Nuno Lopes suggested Pedro Marques Lopes, for not being linked to the left, or Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos, former president of CDS/PP and commentator for CNN Portugal. #atentado #MarchaPelaVida #justiça (translated)

André Janones thanked Minister Kassio Nunes Marquez for the assistance he received in his office the previous afternoon. According to Janones, the minister listened to his arguments and stated that he would express his opinion in the records. He stated that he disagreed with several decisions made by Nunes Marquez and other ministers, but said he prefers to express his indignation with technical arguments, instead of using his visibility to attack the reputation of judges. Janones stated that ministers are not politicians and have less space to defend themselves publicly. He also said he did not want to reproduce bolsonarism "with the signs reversed" and accused the movement of having spent eight years attacking the Supreme Court and weakening institutions as part of a fascist project. According to him, the ideological division between members of the institutions and the population's opposition to them could lay the groundwork for the end of democracy. Finally, Janones stated that he would move forward until victory on the 25th and pointed to Flávio Nantes Bolsonaro as his opponent. #Justiça #Democracia #Política (translated)
