Aontú has long called for an Irish Sea border. Border checks in Ireland would be a disaster. They would be impossible to police, would lead to enormous delays on the border, damage the economy, and possibly become a target for dissidents. #IrishSeaBorder #BorderChecks #IrelandEconomy #IE

A matéria de capa do Estadão desta quinta-feira, 17 de setembro, revela que o governo Trump incluiu nas negociações com Lula, em outubro de 2025, uma exigência “desconhecida”: o Brasil deveria se comprometer com uma eleição presidencial “livre e justa” em 2026 e não poderia “deter arbitrariamente, prender ou limitar” a participação de “dissidentes políticos”. O documento está marcado “Draft/Deliberative/Pre-Decisional”, e registra uma posição apresentada por Washington, não um acordo assinado nem uma obrigação aceita por Brasília. Em 30 de julho de 2025, Trump afirmou por ordem executiva que o tratamento dado a Jair Bolsonaro ameaçava, na visão de seu governo, a capacidade do Brasil de realizar uma eleição “livre e justa” em 2026. No mesmo dia, o Tesouro sancionou Alexandre de Moraes pela Lei Global Magnitsky, acusando-o de detenções arbitrárias, censura e processos politizados. O comunicado conjunto de 16 de outubro, após reunião de Marco Rubio, Jamieson Greer e Mauro Vieira, não mencionou “dissidentes políticos” nem compromisso eleitoral. Falou apenas em “conversas muito positivas”. Em junho de 2026, o USTR concluiu que tribunais brasileiros emitiram ordens secretas para remover conteúdo político e suspender perfis de residentes nos EUA. Em julho, Washington impôs tarifa adicional de 25% sobre determinados produtos brasileiros. E aqui está o ponto em aberto: até a manhã desta quinta, nas fontes oficiais consultadas, Planalto e Itamaraty não haviam publicado resposta específica à cláusula revelada pelo Estadão, e não existe documento público demonstrando que Lula a tenha aceitado. A relação entre os países segue tensionada. O Brasil reteve o agrément ao indicado de Trump para a embaixada em Brasília, Daniel Perez, e negou vistos a dois integrantes do governo americano que pretendiam vir ao país antes da eleição. Washington respondeu revogando o visto da embaixadora brasileira. A cláusula sobre “dissidentes” ficou fora do comunicado final, mas a pressão americana continua. E o Itamaraty ainda não explicou como respondeu à exigência. Rejeitou, negociou ou aceitou algum compromisso? É essa resposta que o governo Lula ainda deve ao país. #Eleições2026 #RelaçõesInternacionais #Justiça
🚨Brasil 🇧🇷/EUA 🇺🇸: A adm Trump exigiu (em outubro de 2025) que o Brasil permitisse a participação de "dissidentes políticos" nas eleições de 2026 segundo matéria exclusiva do “Estadão” “O Brasil se comprometa a realizar eleições presidenciais livres e justas em 2026 e não deterá, prenderá ou restringirá arbitrariamente a participação de dissidentes políticos no processo eleitoral”, exigiu o governo Trump durante as negociações sobre as tarifas impostas no ano passado. #Eleições2026 #Política #Justiça
Ursula #vonderLeyen will die Demokratie „schützen" - mit einem Instrument, das sich gegen die eigenen Bürger richtet. Offiziell heißt es: ausländische Einflussnahme abwehren. In Wahrheit entstehen unter den Stichworten „Fake News", „Desinformation" und „Hate Speech" Werkzeuge, die entscheiden, was Sie in den sozialen Medien überhaupt noch sehen dürfen. Es ist ein Zensurinstrument. Die EU-Kommission hat keine Angst um die Demokratie - sie hat Angst vor der Demokratie. Dissidenten sollen zum Schweigen gebracht werden, damit sich Brüssel mit seinen Kritikern gar nicht erst auseinandersetzen muss. Worum es wirklich geht: 🔹 Am 12.11.2025 stellte die Kommission den „#DemocracyShield" mit rund 50 Maßnahmen vor 🔹 Herzstück: ein neues „Zentrum für demokratische Resilienz", das sogenannte Faktenchecker zentral koordiniert 🔹 Durchgesetzt wird über den #DigitalServicesAct (DSA) 🔹 Wer definiert „Desinformation"? Am Ende die, die kritisiert werden. Es geht um unsere Meinungsfreiheit. Bis hierher und keinen Schritt weiter. Stoppen wir diesen Wahnsinn. ⚠️ DAS KANNST DU JETZT TUN: • Verlinke Ursula von der Leyen unter diesem Video • Teile es in den sozialen Medien • Informiere dich unter https://t.co/Ty5l7lOqy2 • Unterzeichne unsere Petition #Meinungsfreiheit #Zensur #Demokratie
