The Lula Acervo profile stated that Flávio Bolsonaro intended to cut social programs and privatize state-owned companies. According to the author, the reduction of benefits would decrease the money available to families, harm commerce, and could increase credit card defaults and interest rates. The profile also mentioned that gasoline had become more expensive after Bolsonaro privatized the distributor. In defense of another economic policy, it attributed to Lula measures such as eliminating the income tax for the middle class, reducing the so-called "blusinhas tax," and eliminating the tax on basic food baskets. #Economia #ProgramasSociais #Privatização (translated)

Alex White said he was surprised that so many people feared a right-wing government starting from November 29. He questioned that fear and argued that, after eight years of left-wing governments, debt had increased and the cost of groceries, gasoline, and housing had gone up. #Política #Economía #Derecha (translated)

Don Ricardo Salinas Pliego criticized what he considered a deception to the population and stated that it should be illegal to promise a reduction in the price of electricity. By way of comparison, he asserted that a man he referred to in derogatory terms had said that gasoline would cost 10 pesos, but it was being sold at 28 pesos per liter. #Injusticia #Corrupción #Economía (translated)

Political Analysis stated that it was in Alagoas, where Flávio obtained 40%, and said it heard from a beneficiary of the BF that he would vote for him because Bolsonaro had increased the program to 600. To respond to this argument, it advocated raising the benefit instead of focusing on the Master case. According to the author, Lula spent three years without adjusting it and, when he did, increased the amount by 100 reais in the second round; nearly half of the people, he added, received the payment after the election, something he claimed to have warned about. The author also stated that today there are many more cars and motorcycles in the Northeast and that gasoline, nearing R$ 7 in the region, weighs more on the family budget than it did 20 years ago. He advocated for the repurchase of the Bahia refinery and linked the price of fuels to the cost of food, saying that the left had forgotten the historical importance of land reform. In the assessment of Political Analysis, the left erred by not pressuring the government for a more radical economic agenda, which caused Lula to lose votes in his own electoral base. The author advocated for greater radicalism to increase purchasing power and said that this would not be achieved by conciliating with agribusiness and Faria Lima. #Política #Economia #Nordeste (translated)

My stupid recipe, Doctor Restrepo, achieved the highest employment rate, the lowest rates of hunger and poverty of the 21st century, and some of the highest levels of per capita income in the last quarter of my government in the entire history of Colombia. You and Abelardo today, just as you did in Duque's government during the first month of his administration, shot up unemployment almost to the double-digit figures that you handed over to my government. That's called a step back! It's unfortunate that a part of the Colombian electorate believes that Colombia's destiny is to go backward. Again the IMF, again over-indebtedness that you promoted, Dr. Restrepo, by giving subsidies to the rich and imposing a gasoline subsidy paid with the budget. These days, that is called economic ignorance and anachronism. I propose my support from the opposition to make a great agreement for the equitable progress of Colombia. What allowed us to have the best social economic figures of the century was: 1. Leaving hydrocarbon extraction and moving to real production in industry, commerce, and tourism. Prioritizing production, that is, the transformation of materials to make other materials for a good life for people, automatically raises employment levels and overall productivity. 2. Raising the minimum wage every year to the level of the vital basket for a family. This was demanded by the social doctrine of the Catholic Church in the encyclical "Rerum Novarum" by Leo XIII, and you, as a fervent Catholic, should apply it. In that encyclical and in that of Francis I about the "common home," and in that of Leo XIV about "a dignified Humanity," you would find a comprehensive agreement with the progressivism I lead. 3. A leading role of the state in the economy in strategic matters such as tariffs for industrialization, abundant and cheap credit for small and medium-sized industries, cheap credit for industry, food production, exports, and zero-interest credit for any national industry that produces an increase in Colombia’s computational capacity, energy, and railroads. 4. Leading the decarbonization of the economy through a 100% clean electricity generation matrix, replacing the prohibitively expensive gas with extremely cheap and abundant solar energy in Colombia. Remember that in my government I managed to increase growth in the four years by 500% in the naval industry and 200% in the electric automotive industry. 5. Redistributing another million hectares among farmers and doubling food production in the country to lower the prices of the family basket and increase real wages. You and we can lower the interest rate set by the Board of the Bank of the Republic by configuring another majority in the board that is friendly to production and work. 5. And if you don’t want, Mr. Restrepo, to reach agreements given the mind-numbing sectarianism that predominates, then just remember my advice: work and nature are the sources of wealth, and in Colombia, the real wage as an expression of the value of work allows the expansion of the internal market, both formal and informal, and increases the number of companies and workforce. When the country decides to return to legitimate institutions, it might be too late for you, but these will be the economic bases already experienced with positive data for a national agreement. #EconomíaColombiana #Progreso #DesarrolloSostenible (translated)

Gasoline will become cheaper if the announcement made by Lula and ignored by the media yesterday materializes. Petrobras will return to fuel distribution - a branch amputated by the duo Temer-Bolsonaro. Lula's re-election is also savings at gas stations. #Gasolina #Petrobras #Economia (translated)
