Deltan Dallagnol stated that the Bolsa Família program went more than three years without an adjustment and lost purchasing power due to inflation. According to him, the government sent the 2027 Budget in August without anticipating an increase, and Lula only announced the adjustment in September, during the electoral campaign. Dallagnol said that Lula claimed not to know about the matter and compared the response to the ones the president had given about the Mensalão and the Petrolão. The author criticized Lula for, in his assessment, only remembering the poorest when he needs votes, and stated that the president's era would end on October 25. He also mentioned that Flávio had finished the first round in the lead and accused the PT of relying on the complacency of the voters. Dallagnol asked for votes for Flávio Bolsonaro, number 22, and urged them to share the video with those who had not voted or had chosen another candidate. #Lula #BolsaFamília #Eleições2023 (translated)

Matta wrote that Mourão, the only senator to vote against the end of the 6x1 shift, predicted unemployment, inflation, and a decline in production and income. After watching the six minutes of the speech, Matta found the economic analysis verbose and said that it focused on costs, leaving aside the possible incentives of the change. Matta stated that he would explain in a video, with practical examples, where Mourão was right and wrong. He also wrote that companies and consumers would react to the new incentives, although some sectors would have more difficulties adapting. He said he would publish the video the following day. #Economia #Emprego #TransformaçãoEconômica (translated)

Otoni de Paula criticized a presidential candidate for creating a Ministry of Prosperity, although, according to him, he voted against the end of the 6x1 shift and against the adjustment of Bolsa Família. He also stated that the candidate's father had ended the Minha Casa Minha Vida program. De Paula said that prosperity meant salaries above inflation, access to electricity, home ownership, and food on the table. For him, this should be demonstrated by results, not by religious slogans. #Prosperidade #BolsaFamília #Candidato (translated)

With ten days to go before the runoff, Lula outlined ten measures and results he attributed to his government. Among them, he mentioned the end of the 6x1 work schedule, with two weekly days off without a pay cut, and the exemption from Income Tax for those earning up to R$ 5,000, which, according to him, would benefit 15 million people. Lula stated that the Pé-de-Meia program served 7.2 million students and said that, in a future government, it would be universalized in high school and extend to higher education. He also declared that Brazil's driver's license process had reduced the cost of obtaining a driver's license by up to 80%. Regarding individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs), he said that the revenue cap would rise from R$ 80,000 to R$ 140,000 and that the debt of more than 3 million of them would be forgiven, although the measure still needed Senate approval. He also stated that the Popular Pharmacy offered 41 items for free and would start including exams and teleconsultations. In the list, Lula also mentioned tax reform, which, according to him, would eliminate taxes on all items in the basic food basket starting in January 2027, and advocated for the end of bets, which he associated with relief for the budgets of millions of families. The president claimed that Brazil had exited the Hunger Map for the second time, both during his administrations, and achieved the lowest rate of severe food insecurity in history. He also mentioned annual increases in the minimum wage above inflation for workers and retirees, the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded, and the lowest average inflation in four years since the redemocratization in 1989. Lula said his project was to continue advancing and accused the opposing project of dismantling what had been accomplished. In the end, he called for support for his candidacy, with the number 13, and mobilization in the streets and on social media. #Brasil #Eleições2023 #Mudança (translated)

Marina Silva celebrated the approval by the Senate of the constitutional amendment that aimed to end the 6x1 work schedule without a salary reduction. She stated that the proposal brought together initiatives from deputies Reginaldo Lopes (PT-MG) and Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP), the support of President Lula, and the mobilization of workers who demanded time to live beyond work. Silva affirmed that Lula's actions on this agenda harkened back to the labor movement in ABC Paulista and mentioned the defense of labor rights in the 1988 Constituent Assembly and, during his administrations, the appreciation of the minimum wage above inflation and the improvement of living conditions for millions of Brazilians. The author said that she had voted in favor of the change in the Chamber of Deputies in May and congratulated workers and the National Congress for the advancement of the proposal, which, according to her, would also benefit families and society. #Trabalhadores #DireitosTrabalhistas #Emprego (translated)

JH Fonseca stated that the new Quaest survey indicated an increase in rejection of Flávio and attributed the result to André Janones' group, which he accused of spreading lies. According to him, the campaign should react by trying to raise the rejection of Lula and recalling themes such as the Supreme Court, Lava Jato, Mensalão, and inflation. #Política #Eleições2024 #Brasil (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that lulismo aimed to mobilize large groups with announcements of benefits funded by third parties close to elections, generating engagement on social media. Regarding individual micro-entrepreneurs (MEIs), he said they needed less taxation and bureaucracy, not debt forgiveness or transfers. In his assessment, measures of this kind could stimulate dependency, while their costs would later manifest in interest, inflation, and lower growth. Constantino added that the reaction on X indicated that part of the electorate still responded to these promises and that it was up to the opposition to highlight their potential costs. #Lulismo #Eleições2024 #Economia (translated)

JH Fonseca stated that the left resorted to lies and said that the right needed to start publicizing what it considered to be truths again.
