UpdateCharts reported that Luisa Mell criticized Eduarda Campopiano for her performance in a debate called "30 carnivores against one vegan." Mell said that a participant tried to bring the conversation about veganism into politics, verbally attacked her, and supported another participant when she complained about his aggressiveness. She also stated that the woman denied the existence of an epidemic of feminicides. Mell declared that more than 1,500 women were murdered in cases of feminicide in Brazil last year. She further stated that São Paulo gave nearly 2 million votes to a 23-year-old woman who, according to her, advocated for men to be aggressive and denied the existence of feminicide. Mell questioned whether the young woman's participation in several debate podcasts and the heated discussions might have been a strategy. She urged people not to vote based on excerpts created to go viral. #Feminismo #Veganismo #Política (translated)

Clarion de Laffalot assessed that the initiative had a less-than-expected start and attributed part of the result to what he called obstacles, particularly the judiciary's decision to prevent the organic circulation of content on social media. According to him, this harmed a party that depended almost exclusively on these platforms and had neither money nor TV time. The author also stated that the boycott of debates made the election even more polarized and indicated that, in his assessment, Brazilians were not interested in projects and proposals. Despite this, he described the result as the beginning of a long-term project and said that the cultural arm still had a lot of work to do. He added that the initiative continued to be the best available option, although Brazil, as he wrote, had a long tradition of choosing the worst. #política #eleições2023 #Brasil (translated)

André Guedes attributed what he considered to be the poor performance of the Mission to six factors, stating that five were true and one was false, without revealing which. He stated that a reduction in the reach of social media algorithms by the TSE would have harmed lesser-known candidates, keeping them confined to their own bubbles. He also said that Lula and Flávio polarized the dispute, and by avoiding debates, left Renan Santos speaking mainly to his supporters. According to Guedes, presidential candidates used to boost votes for parliamentarians, and less exposure reduced this conversion. Guedes also claimed that MBL did not have access to campaign dissemination in WhatsApp groups because it did not get close to the captain, while former members who did would have fared well. He also mentioned fewer financial resources and the lack of television time as factors. In his assessment, Renan Santos should leave MBL and join the Mission party, as the discourse to oust a president would be different from that necessary to be elected. Finally, he said that Nando Moura had made people aware of issues related to The Phallic Man and the black water tank, stating that the poor performance would be a consequence of that. #Política #Eleições2023 #Missão (translated)

André Guedes assessed that the Mission had a weak performance and presented six possible reasons, stating that five were true and one was false. According to him, changes in social media algorithms would have reduced the reach of lesser-known candidates, keeping them restricted to their own bubbles. Guedes also wrote that Lula and Flávio polarized the dispute and avoided debates, which would have left Renan Santos speaking only to his supporters. He stated that presidential candidates usually helped to elect lawmakers and that less exposure resulted in fewer votes transferred. In the author's assessment, the MBL did not manage to circulate content in WhatsApp groups favorable to Bolsonaro because it did not flatter the "captain"; former MBL members who did so, he wrote, fared well. Guedes also pointed to fewer resources and a lack of television time as factors. He said that Renan Santos should leave the MBL and join the Mission party, arguing that the discourse to take down a president would be different from that necessary to be elected president. Finally, he attributed to Nando Moura the effect of leading people to clash with "The Phallic Man" and the black water tank, which he called a consequence of what happened. #Política #Eleições2023 #Missão (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that the University of Córdoba had been under the control of Salvatore Mancuso, with the murders of dozens of students and professors, and pointed out that Abelardo had been an advisor to Mancuso and paramilitarism. Petro said he had held parliamentary debates on the influence of drug trafficking and paramilitary groups in politics, including public universities. He wrote that he denounced that these had been taken over to divert resources, promote violence, and restrict freedom of thought and expression. He added that, after his debates and accusations against politicians allegedly allied with armed drug traffickers, 35% of senators were convicted and imprisoned by the Supreme Court of Justice. He also claimed that the court was persecuted and replaced by the "cartel of the toga" and corrupt prosecutors. The president maintained that, after the fall of politicians linked to drug trafficking — whom he said were succeeded by family members — the University of Córdoba was freed from paramilitarism and grew significantly in coverage and quality. He stated that those who benefited from the takeover of the institution stagnated it while turning the private university into a business and hoarding peasant lands and water through violence. Petro said that these sectors governed Córdoba and had a president, despite not having a majority, and that they sought to return to the past. He attributed to them the halting of programs of his government to recover swamps, including the Grande, and to promote agrarian reform in Córdoba and Sucre. He also asserted that they wanted to stop the development of the university and the access of Cordoban youth to knowledge. Finally, he called on the Historic Pact to summon the people to elect delegates to its congress and urged resistance against what he described as a new advance of allies of drug trafficking and violence, with municipal coordinations ideally made up of women, peasants, and youth. #UniversidadDeCórdoba #Narcoparapolítica #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Polls indicate that Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro are likely to advance to the second round of the presidential elections in Brazil, although the absence of electoral debates and judicial decisions are creating uncertainties in the campaign. #Eleições2026 #Brasil #Democracia (translated)

André Guedes criticized people who used the date and time of Gilmar's decision to claim that Flávio had withdrawn from participating in the debate because of the podium. He argued that Flávio's campaign legal team might have known in advance that Gilmar would include Renan in the debate. Guedes added that Flávio had warned, before the campaign, that he would not participate in debates with Renan and asked to stop spreading what he called idle chatter. #Política #Debates #Gilmar (translated)

The author wrote that Rogério Vilela said, during a live broadcast, that Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro had contacted him to ask if Renan Santos had been invited. He also stated that Bolsonarists refused to believe that Flávio had skipped the debates out of fear of Renan. #Lula #Bolsonaro #Política (translated)

Kriska Carvalho praised Flávio Dino and stated that bringing Justice into play to resolve controversies was part of the separation of powers. As examples, she cited the 2000 presidential election in the United States: according to her, legal disputes lasted a month and ended with a 5-4 decision from the Supreme Court in the Bush vs. Gore case. Carvalho said that Al Gore won the popular vote but lost in the Electoral College after a difference of 0.009% of the votes in Florida and the judicial interruption of the recount. She added that the episode did not cause an institutional crisis, the end of the Supreme Court, or the impeachment of its judges. Carvalho also mentioned the 1989 Brazilian presidential election, whose outcome, according to her, was heavily influenced by a judicial decision regarding Silvio Santos's candidacy, made less than a week before the voting. She defended the legitimacy of the decisions made by Ministers Kassio and Gilmar and Minister Estela regarding debate rules, although she acknowledged that there was room to disagree with their content. She stated that Kassio determined Zema's participation on Globo, that Gilmar guaranteed Renan Santos's presence, and that Estela decided on the existence of an empty chair on the stage. She said that the country should not return to the period before 1930, when, in her description, there was no Electoral Justice and the law of the strongest prevailed. Finally, she questioned why, according to her, Estela's decision was more attacked than those of the two ministers. #Justiça #Eleições #Democracia (translated)

Kim Kataguiri stated that Flávio Bolsonaro attributed his withdrawal from a debate to censorship and interference from the judiciary but questioned the reasoning. According to Kataguiri, the podiums of Lula, Flávio, and Romeu Zema were empty during the Band debate, and Renan Santos went to Lula's podium and called him a thief. He asked why Flávio missed the debate and noted that the absence occurred after Renan's confirmation. Kataguiri also said that removing from the debates the candidate who, according to him, was in third place in the race would amount to censorship. He called Flávio a coward and stated that he would not have the ability to change the country, in addition to continuing to be a puppet of the centrão. #Censura #Debate #Política (translated)

OKR4V stated that Lula's voters were pretending that only Flávio avoided the debates with Renan. He said that two candidates had avoided the debates throughout the entire election and classified them as criminals. He also accused these voters of focusing more on the opposition and the fear of its victory than on the candidate himself. The author asked voters to give the new opportunity and, in the second round, to vote differently, in the name of Brazil. #Eleições2024 #Brasil #Democracia (translated)
