Jones Manoel stated that rap was not partisan but had a political stance connected to the working people. He argued that workers should take to the streets against what he called the threat of Flávio Bolsonaro and said that rap, hip-hop, and other peripheral cultural expressions would be targets of the “death program” he attributed to Flávio. He also called for the victory of President Lula, arguing that it would create better conditions for struggle and allow progress in the fight for the Brazilian Revolution. The publication credited “eu.ago.” #Rap #LutaPelaLiberdade #RevoluçãoBrasileira (translated)

Javier Tebas Medrano said that the CSD was studying taking action on its own regarding some of his statements and requested that, before doing so, the complete text be read and precedents reviewed. He explained that he had criticized communication methods that he related to propaganda techniques used by Goebbels, but he had expressly excluded any ideological comparisons and any reference to the Madridista fanbase. As a precedent, Tebas recalled that Florentino Pérez stated on May 12, 2026, that he could have won 14 more leagues and that they had been robbed from him, and that, when talking about the Negreira case, he said that they were still the same referees. According to Tebas, those statements were published on Real Madrid's website and the referees had denounced them. He also noted that AS published on September 21 that the instructor proposed archiving the federal file for considering freedom of expression. Tebas asked what criterion was applied to some statements and not to others, and insisted that, although the channels and responsibilities could be different, institutional coherence should be required. He requested that the criteria be explained and applied independently, and asserted that freedom of expression should not depend on the surname of the speaker. #LibertadDeExpresión #Deportes #CSD (translated)

Alejandro Alvarez stated that a law passed assigned funds outside of the Financial Administration Law and that, therefore, Article 5 of the Budget Execution Law 24.629 should be applied. He explained that this regulation establishes that laws authorizing expenditures must expressly indicate how they will be financed; otherwise, their execution remains suspended until the allocations are incorporated into the national budget. He also noted that the regulation requires budgetary backing for certain contracts and provides for asset liability for officials who authorize acts or contracts contrary to Law 24.156. Alvarez asserted that, in his opinion, this was how the Republic was protected: by studying and complying with all laws. #Ley #Presupuesto #Gobierno (translated)

Fútbolgate.com published statements from Helguera in which he claimed that football was becoming corrupt and cited the case of Barcelona and Negreira as an example. He wondered if Real Madrid would have their league titles returned and what would happen to the teams that, according to him, were relegated by one or two points that Barcelona had taken away from them. Helguera also criticized the prominence of referees and their behavior, and referred to the press conference prior to the 2025 Cup final due to its references to Madrid. He argued that there were referee controversies every Sunday and that some expressions from the officials could provoke players. He also questioned the ability to talk about other areas but not about referees. https://t.co/dh1CnPZRbm #Fútbol #Corrupción #LaLiga (translated)

Rogério Marinho stated that the leadership of the Attorney General's Office of the Union (AGU) violated a guideline of electoral neutrality during the campaign. According to him, Messias attributed a victory of the state to Lula, while Flávio Roman, whom he called the number two in the agency, declared that the public attorneys "are with Lula." Marinho said that the state attorney's office should not act as a campaign committee and stated that the 140th edition of the Opposition Observatory showed the participation of AGU's leadership in the electoral dispute and what he classified as the appropriation of the public machine by the PT. He shared links to this edition and previous ones. #NeutralidadeEleitoral #AdvocaciaPública #Eleições2023 (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that, in an election year, the so-called "fiscal extravagance" of the Lula government would amount to R$ 354 billion. According to her, with 11 days until the second round, Lula continued to announce billion-dollar promises while Brazilians were being pressured by taxes. Michelin said that the survey included expenses, credits, subsidies, and tax waivers and that the bill would be paid by the workers. She also criticized the lack of cuts to privileges and the reduction of the public machinery. #Lula #Economia #Impostos (translated)
