The Central Right evaluated that Flávio Bolsonaro started the debate better by greeting the participants and addressing public security, but Lula had a slight advantage in the first block by putting him on the defensive with questions. According to the author, Flávio avoided directly answering some of them and resorted to rhetorical questions to speak to the audience. In the evaluation of the Central Right, Flávio had a significant advantage in the second block and won the third by a small margin. The author highlighted the candidate's proposals on public security and family indebtedness and said that he also used the discussion to criticize Lula's statements about the people of Rio and his defense of early prison releases. In the final considerations, marked by interruptions, Flávio was said to have performed better, while Lula made mistakes and got flustered. The author stated that Lula dedicated a lot of time to attacks and presented few proposals. He said the president mentioned once the end of the 6x1 shift, but did not address the exemption of income tax for those earning up to R$ 5,000, the end of betting, the adjustment of Bolsa Família, or the free bus rides on weekends. The Central Right rated Flávio Bolsonaro 5.0 and Lula 4.0. Despite this, it stated that it did not expect the debate to significantly alter voting intentions. It also recommended that Flávio focus on the topics he masters and on presenting proposals. Regarding age, it said it preferred not to enter the merit but stated that the debate highlighted difficulties of one of the candidates related to that factor, which it considered concerning. #Debate2023 #SegurançaPública #EleiçõesBrasileiras (translated)

Jones Manoel evaluated the Band debate and accused Flávio Bolsonaro of not answering questions and lying about the privatization of the SUS, public security, the 6x1 schedule, and his relationship with militias. He also stated that Flávio would not have the courage to open his banking and telephone records. When talking about the schedule, he said that the senator had promised to end the 6x1 regime for billionaires. Manoel advocated for changes in communication for future debates. He suggested that supporters of President Lula in the studio produce live content from behind the scenes and that there should be more vigorous interventions, in addition to a real-time information checking and dissemination network. He proposed distributing this material through Janones' channel, via WhatsApp, and on other social media. He also stated that the 25th would be the day of the defeat of the Bolsonaro family and said that a "traitor of the homeland" should not occupy the presidency. #Debate2023 #EleiçõesBrasil #Lula (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)

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)

I think broadcasting the execution live for everyone to see would have been a way to deter the world from seeing how America deals with terrorists and scum like Hasan, but many very good people with good intentions would prefer not to see him die in a live broadcast or on any other device. Donald Trump announced on Thursday the cancellation of the broadcast that was being planned, precisely one week after the U.S. Secretary of Defense made the announcement in that regard. Investigators concluded that Hasan's emails were not a threat. This assessment by the Obama Administration was later considered a key failure of the intelligence services. "Investigators concluded that Hasan's emails were not a threat.

The Pedrosa Channel reported that Luis Felipe Salomão, president of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), rejected the request from Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. this Thursday (15) to suspend the decision that determined the match between Vasco and Boca Juniors to be held at the Maracanã on October 20 at 9:30 PM. According to the channel, the court's order for the match to take place at the stadium remained valid. According to the published summary, Salomão considered that the managing company of the complex did not have standing to appeal through a request for suspension of security, an instrument that, according to him, was intended to protect collective interests. The minister assessed that the case involved private interests related to the exploitation of the Maracanã and that there was no demonstration of public interest that justified the measure. The channel reported that the manager claimed wear of the pitch, concentration of games within a short interval, and security risks due to the gathering of fans, as Flamengo and Botafogo would also be playing a basketball game at the Maracanãzinho. However, Salomão understood that no concrete evidence was presented of a serious threat to public order or safety. He also noted that the questioned decision already anticipated moving the basketball event to avoid overlapping audiences. According to the Pedrosa Channel, Salomão concluded that he did not consider the request as he understood it did not meet the requirements to be analyzed through this avenue. The minister added that any eventual questions regarding the actions of the judges should be presented through the appropriate appeals in the Court of Justice of Rio. The channel emphasized that the decision maintained the existing authorization but did not settle the dispute over the use of the stadium. #STJ #Maracanã #Futebol (translated)

Renato Vicente stated that Andrés Gómez had an irresponsible attitude by being expelled, but said that the evaluation of the incident should consider a foul suffered by the Colombian eight minutes into the game. According to Vicente, the infraction could have warranted the expulsion of the opponent and, after reviewing the play in the locker room, Gómez had returned angry and acted hastily after a series of the referee's decisions. He emphasized that this did not justify the expulsion. Vicente also contested that Gómez had previously displayed a similar attitude. He mentioned that on another occasion, the player received a yellow card for dissent after a warning, as he was about to join the national team and would thus clear his cards with Vasco. Despite considering the performance disastrous, he highlighted that Gómez provided the assist for the winning goal in a play that seemed finished. The author noted that he usually pointed out, in his live broadcasts, the player's irritation and rashness, but also his importance to Vasco. He believed that opponents would cite Gómez as one of the players who most annoyed them and required attention in their preparation. Vicente concluded that the criticisms made against the athlete did not make sense, especially at that moment, and called for unity. #Vasco #Futebol #AndrésGomez (translated)
