Mafe Carrascal Rojas stated that she would continue on the streets defending citizens' rights and would show her credentials, as she believed her duty as a member of the Chamber was to represent the people and not remain in an office. She said she prioritized dialogue, but that did not mean remaining silent in the face of abuses or failing to demand explanations for reports of disproportionate actions by the Public Force against protesters. Carrascal maintained that she would defend the right of young people to express themselves and protest, and that she would not abandon those exercising those rights. She also noted that fulfilling the authorities' duty meant protecting rights and acting within the bounds of the Constitution and the law, not using weapons against the population. The representative affirmed that she would continue to raise her voice and questioned recent attempts to portray all mobilizations as violent. She added that one should not generalize or stigmatize those who protested peacefully, that no decree could supersede the Constitution, and that any possible abuse by the authorities should be investigated. She argued that social protest was not a crime and that defending that right was part of her responsibility. #DerechosHumanos #ProtestaPacífica #LibertadesCivil (translated)

Teresa Gómez stated that Sánchez was confident about winning the elections and remaining in power, as she claimed he had an ace up his sleeve. She wrote that The Objective had published evidence of an alleged fraud of "extraordinary gravity" and asserted that her colleague Isabel Durán had done commendable work investigating it. Gómez said that Sánchez had deployed Tezanos at the CIS to inflate the polls and justify the fraud, and Gabilondo, as the Ombudsman, to convey a resolution from the Supreme Court that, according to her, would allow Pumpido to complete "the coup." She added that the investigation was not over and that they would publish more cases, information, and evidence that week. She also defended that journalists should oversee the power and expose possible abuses. #Democracia #FraudeElectoral #PeriodismoInvestigativo (translated)

Hilton pointed out that the voting could influence the end of the 6x1 scale, the continuity of Pix, Brazilian control over rare earths, and the rights of women and girls to their own image, their own bodies, and the vote. She claimed to be gathering the 171 signatures necessary for the request for the companies to be investigated, regardless of the ballot results.

Alan Lopes stated that the interviews of Lula, the day before, and Flávio Bolsonaro, that day, revealed opposite profiles. He described Lula as tired and worn out, said the president seemed uncomfortable with difficult questions, and criticized his language. He also stated that Lula was embarrassed when confronted about promises that Lopes considered false and assessed that he did not convey credibility as a statesman nor would he be able to convince people outside his circle of supporters. Regarding Flávio Bolsonaro, Lopes said that he conveyed lightness, hope, transparency, and emotional balance, in addition to demonstrating preparedness to negotiate with international leaders. The author also claimed that the senator inspired positive expectations and represented the possibility of overcoming a period that, according to Lopes, had taken the country to rock bottom after scandals and abuses against the population. #Lula #FlávioBolsonaro #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

BLOGDOMACEDO reported that the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office requested the preventive detention of Armando Mendonça, vice president of Corinthians, in the case that investigated suspicions of irregularities with sports materials supplied by Nike. According to the author, the news was published by ge this Friday (16), in a report signed by Bruno Cassucci. The request was forwarded to the 25th Criminal Court by prosecutor Cássio Roberto Conserino after the dismissal of Marcelo Munhoes, former Director of Information Technology of the club and a witness considered important by the prosecution. According to the Public Prosecutor's Office, the dismissal occurred on the eve of the instruction hearing scheduled for November 10 and could intimidate witnesses or interfere with the production of evidence. Conserino stated that Munhoes had provided relevant technical elements for the investigation and that the dismissal could also affect other employees called to testify. The author added that the prosecutor pointed out the public support of the Corinthians president, Osmar Stábile, for Mendonça as part of the context and raised suspicions of possible interference in the process. Conserino also opened a new investigative procedure to investigate the circumstances of the dismissal and any potential involvement of Mendonça or third parties in acts aimed at interfering with the investigation. According to BLOGDOMACEDO, Mendonça became a defendant in June after the court accepted the Public Prosecutor's Office's charge. He faced accusations of aggravated continued embezzlement, attempted aggravated continued embezzlement, qualified theft by breach of trust, and coercion in the course of the process. According to the accusation, he had appropriated 131 sports items from Nike, attempted to obtain 19 special jerseys with the NFL patch, and kept eight units of the commemorative edition. The Public Prosecutor's Office also accused him of threatening two witnesses. The author reported that the suspicions arose after an internal audit identified irregularities in the management and distribution of Nike materials in Corinthians. Mendonça denied any irregularities, attributed control problems to the previous management, and questioned the consistency of the audit report. According to ge, he was contacted by the report but had not responded by the time of publication. BLOGDOMACEDO emphasized that it was up to the court to decide on the request for preventive detention and that the request did not mean that the arrest had been decreed. The accusations, he added, still depended on due process. #BlogdoMacedo #Corinthians #MinistérioPúblico #Justiça (translated)

Carlos Bolsonaro stated that Jair Bolsonaro had been declared ineligible due to accusations of abuse of economic power for getting on a sound truck on September 7. He compared the case to Lula’s actions, which, according to him, should be subjected to the same criteria of oversight and judgment. Carlos accused Lula of spending about 500 billion reais in extraordinary public funds during the election period and questioned the actions of the press and oversight bodies. He also stated that the objective was not only to silence Jair Bolsonaro but to erase his history, his legacy, and what he represented for millions of Brazilians. Carlos said that the people were a factor that his opponents seemed to ignore and asked for votes for Flávio Bolsonaro, number 22, on the 25th, warning that otherwise, the country would fade away. #Bolsonaro #Lula #Eleições2024 (translated)
