Legitimate social claims have again been hijacked by the far left and the speeches of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's deputies, who, legitimizing violence, considering order as oppression and disorder as a right, seek to plunge the country into chaos. Le Pen will argue, for her part, that only she will be able to restore the authority that the country has needed for so many years and impose order, a message that may resonate with right-wing voters still hesitant to vote for her in the second round. #ChalecosAmarillos #Mélenchon #LePen (translated)

No dia 10 de outubro 2026, Barack Obama esteve em Lisboa como orador principal do Game Changers Forum, realizado na MEO Arena, diante de mais de 10 mil pessoas. Na sua intervenção, Obama abordou temas como democracia, liderança política, inteligência artificial e os riscos do autoritarismo. Obama destacou que a democracia é uma conquista recente e frágil na história da humanidade, defendendo que todos os cidadãos devem ter direitos iguais, dignidade e capacidade de influenciar a sociedade. Ele fez críticas indiretas ao então presidente americano, Donald Trump, ao questionar a nostalgia por uma suposta "América real", associando-a a um passado em que minorias raciais eram silenciadas e as mulheres tinham papéis restritos. Sobre inteligência artificial, Obama alertou que essa tecnologia transformará a sociedade em cerca de dez anos, defendendo a necessidade de regras internacionais de segurança e coordenação, especialmente entre Estados Unidos e China, apesar da desconfiança entre as potências. O ex-presidente pediu mais humanidade e menos nacionalismo, defendendo líderes que valorizem tanto os interesses nacionais quanto os sonhos de pessoas de outros países, promovendo uma ideia de "humanidade comum" em vez de confronto. Obama também ressaltou a importância de dar mais espaço aos jovens na política, defendendo a renovação das lideranças. Com bom humor, afirmou que são necessários mais líderes jovens porque os mais velhos não sabem usar os telemóveis. Ele criticou a burocracia e a lentidão das instituições democráticas, inclusive na Europa, alertando que, quando os governos não resolvem problemas concretos como habitação e emprego, discursos autoritários podem se tornar mais atraentes. Uma das frases mais significativas de sua intervenção foi: "Tecnicamente, um presidente não pode começar uma guerra sem aprovação do parlamento." Essa declaração foi interpretada como uma crítica indireta à atuação do então presidente dos EUA, especialmente no contexto dos ataques americanos contra o Irão. Sobre a Europa, Obama reconheceu os benefícios da União Europeia, mas advertiu que a burocracia e a demora nas decisões podem afastar os cidadãos das instituições. Defendeu governos mais ágeis e capazes de responder às preocupações cotidianas. Em síntese, Obama defendeu uma democracia mais eficaz, liderança renovada e cooperação internacional baseada em valores comuns. Ele reforçou que a democracia exige instituições que funcionem, cidadãos ouvidos e líderes que respeitem a igualdade, indo além do simples ato de votar.

Alessandra Rojo de la Vega stated that the Cuauhtémoc Mayor's Office had not allocated and would not allocate money to finance violence, and said that she defended respect for collectives, although everyone must comply with the law. Regarding the events on Friday, she maintained that they had not been a protest but an action by an isolated group from the trans community that, according to her, came with the intention of exercising violence. She said that the members were welcomed and that a committee was formed to dialogue. She added that some demands — an investigation and the delivery of abandoned houses or land — corresponded to the Prosecutor's Office and the Government of Mexico City, respectively, and that her administration opposed these latter requests. Rojo de la Vega assured that for four hours, with the knowledge of the Citizen Security Secretariat (SSC), the group broke windows, set fire in the esplanade, and damaged security cameras. She claimed that SSC agents arrived minutes after the group left the mayor's office and suggested that they were previously busy repressing IMSS personnel who were protesting for decent salaries. She also accused a national secretary of promoting hate speech and spreading false information on social media. She claimed that she had attacked another senator from behind in the plenary session and criticized the treatment that, according to her, she offered to the searching mothers, whom she would neither receive nor listen to. The mayor described Cuauhtémoc as the most feminist municipality and stated that it was the only one out of the 16 with a shelter for victims of gender violence funded with its own resources. She said that her administration accompanied victims in filing complaints and that, thanks to Reacción Violeta, 54 attackers had received firm convictions. She added that more than 5,000 women had received psychological and legal attention, as well as training, and that during the first year of her government, femicides had decreased by 85%, according to Secretariat data. Finally, she questioned the national secretary about alleged corrupt contracts for her friends, supposed ties to drug trafficking, and the lack of attention to searching mothers. She also reproached her for remaining silent in the face of violence against medical and health personnel. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #ViolenciaDeGénero (translated)

Raul Sena stated that the left's strategy would hardly regain votes. According to him, the left presented the dispute as a fight between good and evil, in which voting against Lula would mean being on the wrong side of history, but people knew voters of Flávio who they considered good, honest, and hardworking. Sena said that this comparison weakened the narrative and made people feel manipulated. He also claimed that the speeches were becoming increasingly aggressive and tried to convince through fear and hostility. In Sena's assessment, treating someone as a horrible person usually did not make them change their vote. #Política #Eleições2024 #DebatePolítico (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that images from an assembly at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba showed speeches against Flávio Bolsonaro and in defense of Lula's reelection. She said that organizations had announced more than 40 acts at universities across the country and criticized statements that, according to her, advocated for the radicalization of activism and referenced the kidnapping of an ambassador during the dictatorship. Michelin recalled that American ambassador Charles Burke Elbrick was kidnapped in 1969 by members of the ALN and MR-8, and not by the National Union of Students (UNE). She also classified predictions about a potential victory of Flávio Bolsonaro as false and alarmist, stating that the remarks about loss of rights and threats to democracy did not present concrete measures to support them. She mentioned that she did not question the right of students to protest or support candidates but criticized speeches that, in her view, replaced arguments with slogans and romanticized armed struggle. Michelin advocated for universities to shape professionals, researchers, and free citizens and stated that glorifying guerrilla practices and treating opponents as enemies denied democracy. #Educação #Democracia #Política (translated)
