Jones Manoel stated that Bolsonarism harmed the working conditions of cultural professionals and favored an elitist and commercial logic, aimed at large events. For this reason, he classified the Bolsonaro family as adversaries of Brazilian popular culture. He recalled that, as he wrote, the first ministry dismantled by Jair Bolsonaro was the Ministry of Culture and said that Flávio Bolsonaro would follow a similar perspective. Manoel stated that a potential victory for Flávio would threaten hip-hop, brega funk, afoxés, and other popular cultural manifestations. He also advocated for mobilization to ensure the victory of President Lula. #Cultura #Bolsonarismo #Lula (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that Flávio Bolsonaro intended to unlink pensions and the Continued Cash Benefit (BPC) from adjustments to the minimum wage as part of a fiscal adjustment. According to him, the BPC guarantees a monthly minimum wage to low-income elderly individuals and persons with disabilities, and most benefits from the INSS corresponded to the social security floor. Manoel said that the change could leave millions of elderly people and individuals with disabilities without future increases in the minimum wage, affecting resources used for basic expenses. He urged voters to vote for President Lula in the second round to prevent the election of Flávio Bolsonaro. #Aposentadorias #BPC #FlávioBolsonaro (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that, on Monday, October 12, Flávio Bolsonaro's electoral program was broadcast without audio on television, while Lula's was transmitted normally afterwards. According to her, Flávio's campaign claimed to have delivered the material with sound and checked the content before the transmission. Michelin recalled that, according to her description, the generation of the national signal was the responsibility of a pool of broadcasters installed at the headquarters of the Superior Electoral Court in Brasília, which distributed the content via satellite. She questioned at what stage the audio might have been lost and who would be responsible, in addition to raising the hypothesis of sabotage. The author said she presented a video comparing the silent transmission with the original version of the program, with audio. She also stated that the incident harmed the fairness of the competition and the right of voters to know Flávio's proposals, which, according to her, had been the target of false news. Michelin requested clarifications, the disclosure of the transmission records, and compensation for the lost time. #Eleições2023 #Brasil #Justiça (translated)

The program included a module on school governance based on rights, presented by university professor Samuel Minga Bope. It specifically covered legality, financial and administrative accountability, citizen participation, and equal opportunities without discrimination. The goal, according to Mazanza's report, was to promote transparent and participatory management in accordance with national and international legal frameworks related to children's rights.

Lupe Sánchez stated that the Government planned to appeal to the Constitutional Court the decision of the Supreme Court to maintain the precautionary measures on the application of the instruction of Sofía Puente, known as the grandchildren's law. He argued that, as a general rule, neither the central Government nor the regional governments were legitimized to file a petition for amparo, according to articles 53 and 162 of the Constitution and articles 41 and 46 of the Organic Law of the Constitutional Court. He added that the exception related to the right to effective judicial protection in article 24 would not apply in this case. Sánchez also pointed out that the Supreme Court had summoned hundreds of thousands of descendants of exiles who could be affected by the resolution, and said that would make it difficult for the Socialist Executive to resort to that avenue. He added that the Prosecutor's Office could indeed file a petition for amparo, although he described it as unusual, but stated that in this case it had not appealed the precautionary measures in reinstatement, so he considered that route closed. #Gobierno #TribunalConstitucional #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Lupe Sánchez stated that the Government of Spain and the regional governments, in general, lacked legitimacy to file a protection appeal, according to Articles 53 and 162 of the Constitution and Articles 41 and 46 of the LOTC. He added that the exception related to the violation of due process guarantees in Article 24 of the Constitution would not be applicable in the case of the Grandchildren's Law. He also pointed out that the Supreme Court had agreed to summon the alleged hundreds of thousands of descendants of exiles who might be affected by the decision. In his opinion, this further reduced the possibilities of manipulating the law for Pedro's benefit. #LeyDeNietos #DerechosHumanos #España (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that the government of Jair Bolsonaro represented a threat to the environment and said that Flávio Bolsonaro was following the same path. He associated the son of the former president with criminal organizations, militias, and practices of kickbacks. Manoel criticized proposals from Flávio's government plan to accelerate environmental licensing. According to him, the measure could allow the issuance of licenses before the completion of the analysis by the responsible agencies, increasing the risk of damage to rivers, forests, and communities. He also warned of potential risks of water contamination and impacts on soil with the release of fracking, in addition to the effects of the expansion of mining and the exploration of oil and gas. The author also stated that the plan envisioned reorganizing the functions of agencies responsible for oversight and environmental protection and traditional territories, such as Ibama, Funai, and ICMBio. He defended the role of licensing and oversight in preventing impacts on nature and communities. Manoel called Flávio Bolsonaro a setback and advocated for the re-election of President Lula, as well as the end of what he described as a project of destruction of Brazil by the Bolsonaro family. #MeioAmbiente #Sustentabilidade #Bolsonaro (translated)
