Well done for Globo! They drew a format that favored Flávio Bolsonaro, taking advantage of Renan Santos' absence to create a scenario of 3 against 1 if Lula participated. In the last moments, however, the news emerged that a ruling by Gilmar Mendes would ensure the presence of the third-place candidate in the polls. That was enough for Flávio to back down. Result: Globo ended up with a debate of nobodies in their hands. The Marinho channel has a long history of interfering in the Brazilian electoral process. This time, however, the strategy ended in checkmate against itself. (translated)

António José Telo argues that Russia's warnings about possible military actions are a strategy to test NATO's unity, while also highlighting the provocations directed at European countries, especially in the context of geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East. (translated)

A model of artificial intelligence developed by American researchers has managed to outperform the best human players of the strategy game Stratego, demonstrating great effectiveness and efficiency at a reduced cost, with potential for application in real-world situations. (translated)

First, they carried out a classic military coup in 64, and in the wake of it, they created Globo as a strategy for perpetual demobilization, paving the way for all kinds of media manipulation that we see rampant today in Brazil. It's not a broadcaster; it's an advanced post of political alienation and brainwashing. We will not echo the debate! We will not watch! The audience must be for LULA ON FLOW! BRAZIL WITH LULA ON FLOW DO NOT WATCH THE DEBATE COUP NEVER AGAIN TURN OFF GLOBO (translated)

🤔Some reflections on the voting on Friday 👇 🫡 Left-wing parties will abide by what social organizations say, as happened with the RD of Palestine. 😮‍💨 That this generates relief in the PSOE and Sumar (while making things easier for Junts and the PNV) and causes some 😠 frustration in the squares and left-wing groups should be understood as the reality of politics. The congratulations from Minister Puente, so outraged these days by the maximalism of the demands, say it all. 📰 Just look at today's covers of the progressive media to understand that we are in another scenario. The media expect that the squares will empty from tomorrow. 🤔Could it have been different? Rufián disavowing Junqueras by saying that ERC's vote was not assured, or various economists from the Sumar environment criticizing the measures of the decrees as insufficient, made me think that there could be a pressure block on the Government beyond Podemos and squares full of younger individuals more radicalized than the social organizations. 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋‍♀️ But it is the tenant unions that are responsible for pinpointing the scope of their objectives and defining their strategy for mobilization and negotiation. And this must be accepted. 🚩However, beyond that, the street has once again taken on political prominence in Spain and has gone beyond social organizations. The squares, as was the case with 15M, have managed to place the debate on housing (an ideological one, without a doubt) at the political center and have allowed left mobilization to regain momentum. 🔴 From the experiences of mobilization processes, new political leaders always emerge. I have spoken with some members of youth political organizations who have learned a lot these days from their prominence in the squares. Order reigns in Berlin... For now... (translated)

What is happening in Spain is not a 15-M, but a coordinated strategy of the left to go to the elections of 2027. The objective of PSOE, Podemos, and Sumar is to present themselves in the general elections without bad headlines—such as evictions—and to have an excuse to blame the right, if they govern, for the skyrocketing housing prices. None of this is about solving the rental problem: interventionism has proven to be very detrimental, as it destroys supply. Feijóo will have the true 15-M of housing. A 'fake' 15-M against the right.

Guys, shall we settle a little deal here? Tomorrow it's everyone on Flow watching Lula and spreading what he says. Friday is just clips of him on social media. Unless there are criminal statements (which can happen) that need to be rebutted to avoid damage, do not share or circulate cuts of the Globo debate. The time is to unite with President Lula's strategy and amplify his voice on our channels. (translated)

Running away from the debate is not a strategy. It’s a confession. Those who have been in power for three years and ask for a fourth term cannot treat voters like an audience of a friendly podcast. Lulism has always preferred a controlled platform over confrontation. When the polls tighten, the candidate of "democracy" disappears from TV and sends the supporters to inflate the audience on a parallel channel. This is not moral superiority. It is fear of numbers, of questions, and of opponents. (translated)
