Actu Foot stated that FIFA allegedly favored the DRC at the expense of Burkina Faso, which would have been deprived of a chance to participate in the 2026 World Cup. Citing investigations from Le Monde and the New York Times, the account wrote that Lionel Mpasi had played in qualifying matches without his change of nationality being regularized after having played for French youth teams. According to Actu Foot, FIFA lawyers had identified the problem, and the application of the regulations would have sent Burkina Faso to the African playoffs instead of the DRC. #FIFA #CoupeDuMonde #RDCongo (translated)

Karina Michelin wrote that a CNN report released on Tuesday, October 6, pointed out that a faction of the Supreme Court (STF) was seeking dialogue with bolsonarism after the election, in light of the new composition of the Senate and the possibility of impeachment of ministers. According to the investigation by Jussara Soares and Caio Junqueira, cited by Michelin, Flávio Bolsonaro’s circle reportedly identified signs of a possible negotiation to spare ministers of the Court in exchange for the review of Jair Bolsonaro's imprisonment and the acceptance of amnesty for those convicted for January 8. Michelin stated that the PL party rejected the proposal and, according to CNN, did not intend to negotiate the permanence of Alexandre de Moraes in the STF. The party was reportedly working to promote his impeachment in 2027. In the PL's calculations, there would be 49 favorable votes for his removal in the new Senate, five less than the 54 considered necessary. Flávio Dino was also on the party's radar, depending on his actions. Michelin added that, according to Caio Junqueira, Michel Temer's support for Flávio Bolsonaro was interpreted as one of the first gestures to establish bridges. Temer appointed Moraes to the STF in 2017 and, according to the report she cited, would be a political link between the minister and the Bolsonaro family. The author noted that the impeachment of STF ministers has become an explicit electoral agenda for Flávio Bolsonaro and that the right also concentrated efforts on the election of senators, who are responsible for processing and judging Supreme Court ministers for crimes of responsibility. Michelin argued that any attempt at an agreement would have to take into account that millions of Brazilians voted to change the balance of power in the Senate. She advocated for Brasília to respect the electoral results, reestablish limits between the branches of government, and seek to pacify the country. #Brasil #Política #STF (translated)

The author accused Professor Augsburg of presenting wine from illegally occupied territories, denying the existence of Palestinians, and referring to the West Bank as Judea and Samaria.

Furthermore, he described Professor Augsburg as an embodiment of a legal violation and a disgrace to the legal profession. #Völkerrecht #Palästina #Westjordanland #IL #PS (translated)

Ir. Wouter de Heij described Vincent Kar's story about the impact of more and heavier cars, discussed on WNL Today, as nonsense. According to De Heij, the cause lay more in a shortage of good engineers and an excess of managers at RWS, along with decades of insufficient funds for investments and maintenance. He wrote that this was the result of prolonged 'half-management', where political scientists and lawyers formed the bureaucratic top. De Heij also stated that Marcel Levie was right and that the minister was engaging in issue management. #autos #infrastructuur #belasting (translated)

Chris Klomp wrote that the person addressed had largely met the requirements of a lawyer, but then gave a rude response. He referred to insulting words, an accusation of fraud, and Koszkowicz. He also asked why there was suddenly talk of "we" who would start a summary proceeding. According to Klomp, the response strengthened his belief that the man was not concerned about his reputation and that money was apparently needed. #jurist #professionalisme #rechtszaak (translated)

Manaf Hassan wrote that there is a serious legal problem with the Berlin election: the regulation for calculating the seat distribution was removed from the state election regulations on September 19, 2025, even though the state election law refers to this regulation for the procedure. He claimed that the election authority applied the previous Hare/Niemeyer system after the election, even though there was no legal basis for it. Hassan stated that the procedure for seat distribution must be clearly established before an election. From his perspective, a new election repeat is therefore inevitable; otherwise, Berlin politics will lose credibility. #BerlinWahl #ElectionLaw #Politik (translated)
