B24 published a statement in which Cristiano Ronaldo presented his version of the misunderstanding with the national coach and his exit from the training camp. The forward stated that, after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared a farewell letter, but the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) had asked him to reconsider his departure. He also mentioned that he had supported the choice of the current coach. Ronaldo stated that the coach had presented him with a plan for his participation in the national team and that, in an initial conversation, he had suggested that he not travel for the matches in Norway and Denmark. According to the player, he rejected the proposal as he believed it would not be a good example for the captain to stay in Portugal. He noted that Simão Coutinho, sports director of Al Nassr, had accompanied the discussions. Regarding the match in Norway, Ronaldo reported that the coach asked him if he was available to play for 30 minutes. He said he accepted, despite recovering physically, but warmed up from halftime and did not end up playing. The player stated that, in a meeting 48 hours later, the coach agreed to publicly explain the agreed plan and acknowledged that it was a mistake to make him warm up without putting him on the field. According to Ronaldo, the coach had promised to do so at a press conference but had not fulfilled the agreement. The forward said he had validated notes for the conference, in which the coach would acknowledge proposing the plan, affirm that Ronaldo had accepted it without questioning the options, and admit that he would not make him warm up again under those circumstances. Ronaldo stated that the coach should also recognize the importance of the player, who had represented the national team for 24 years, and argue that problems should not be invented around his reaction after the game. Ronaldo said he decided to leave the training camp because he felt the coach had broken his word for the second time. He apologized to the fans for not greeting them after the game and to his teammates for leaving, taking responsibility for both decisions. He added that he accepted being punished by the FPF without mitigating circumstances, as he was the captain. The player stated that he would continue to be available to compete for Portugal after serving the suspension, as long as he was physically well and playing for the club. He also said that he hoped to have one or more farewell matches, but that his priority was to continue competing and winning for the national team. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)

Update Olivia Brasil stated that the profile was managed by six female university students, among them students from public institutions and scholarship recipients from private colleges. According to the group, some were beneficiaries of Bolsa Família, members of CadÚnico, from the Northeast, living in favelas and marginalized areas of Rio de Janeiro or LGBT. One of the members said she was a Northeastern migrant woman living in the largest favela in Latin America and stated that her mother worked hard to provide her with a better life. She wrote that her work on the profile also represented other people and expressed concern about what she considered a surrender of the state and the country to people who rejected her existence and that of those close to her. The group reported having suffered an attempted censorship the day before, when the profile was hacked. They said they continued to express their views on relevant topics and that the portal, created in 2023, had always shown its political stance. They also stated that they feared for their own safety and said that comments from people within the same fandom made them feel unwell and encouraged attacks from opponents of Lula's re-election. The group requested respect and stated that rights and futures were at stake, with no time for ego disputes. (translated)

The POP headquarters published that Marcos Soutino asked voters to attend the second round and declared support for Lula. Soutino stated that voting blank or null, or not voting at all, could jeopardize one's own rights and those of others. He also said that not voting for Lula would mean indirectly supporting the other side and highlighted initiatives he attributed to the former president, such as removing Brazil from the hunger map for the second time and increasing access to public universities. Soutino also suggested that supporters of Flávio Bolsonaro research what his favorite chocolate was. He said that, that week, he had lost 10,000 followers and that he preferred to lose more followers than to lose rights. #VotoConsciente #Eleições2023 #Democracia (translated)

Humberto Matos urged his supporters not to be discouraged and to keep fighting. He stated that, if Flávio wins, diesel will reach 15 reais, a bag of rice will exceed 50 reais, and SUS and Pix will end.

Flavia Ferronato stated that the left is distant from the concerns of the population and said that attacks on Flávio, accusations of links to militias, and extreme-right labels would not cause as much fear as hunger and public insecurity. She also claimed that the population perceived a difference in legal treatment between calling a trans person a biological man and stealing a cell phone. Ferronato said that black, poor, and working-class people would have realized they were used and bought in recent years and stated that their incomes were no longer enough even to buy pumpkin. She declared that the PT (Worker's Party) was over and criticized the President of the Republic for, according to her, not having a cell phone to avoid annoyances. She also questioned Janja's role in the government. #Política #Realidade #Desigualdade (translated)

Mauro wrote that the massacre on October 7 had been organized by Hamas to provoke the Israeli response and fuel propaganda about "genocide" and hatred towards Israel in the world. He described the operation as planned and successful. He argued that the word "genocide" had appeared on social media and in the media a few days after the first Israeli airstrikes, when the casualties were still only a few dozen, and that it had been repeated since then despite, in his view, facts and numbers contradicting it. He described those who used it in derogatory terms. According to Mauro, Israel had initiated a war to eliminate Hamas, regarded as an existential threat, taking into account the death of many innocent civilians. He claimed that Hamas used them as human shields and tools of propaganda and quoted Sinwar's words: "These sacrifices are necessary." He added that Hamas wanted many deaths, while Israel sought to limit them. Mauro acknowledged that atrocities had also been committed by Israelis during the war, linking them to the effects of war, fear, and revenge. He argued that it was important to consider the overall picture rather than the actions of individuals. #Guerra #Israele #Hamas (translated)

Jones Manoel thanked the messages he received after what he called a political and electoral victory. He said he had received nearly a thousand congratulatory messages on WhatsApp and, in less than 24 hours, more than 60,000 messages on Instagram and 200,000 new followers, without being able to respond to everyone. He stated that he was organizing himself to dedicate time to the second round and that he had already reached out to contacts from PT-PE and the national leadership to offer help to Lula's campaign, in addition to his activism and work on the streets. Manoel advocated for maintaining calm and political analysis and expressed his belief that it was possible to win. Presenting himself as the most voted leftist and communist federal deputy from Pernambuco and one of the most voted from the Northeast, he said he would do everything possible to defeat Flávio Bolsonaro. #Política #Lula2022 #Esquerda (translated)

JOTAPÊ argued that the left should change its approach, stating that the population had lost empathy and that appeals related to hunger or what he referred to as genocide in the favelas would be useless. He said that in the following weeks, it would be necessary to show how a potential Flávio government could affect people individually, especially financially. As an example, he suggested using states governed by the PL and exposing on social media what he claimed were setbacks in purchasing power, transportation, public health, and public safety. He concluded that the left should adopt the strategy of its opponents. #Política #DireitosHumanos #Empatia (translated)

Normose criticized the idea of letting a group suffer so that they would learn. He wrote that hunger would not depend on the candidate someone voted for, that unemployment would not only affect Flávio's voters, nor would the actions of militias be limited to Bolsonaro-supporting territories. He also said that persecution would not be restricted to allies and that the person who defended this idea could also suffer and be persecuted. #Fome #Desemprego #Perseguição (translated)
