@mcfernandes is one of the best journalists in traditional media. She does absolutely serious work and has not invented a fake news. She made a sharp observation, moreover, most likely based on inquiries with people inside the Catholic Church. Before her, I had already mentioned on TV Fórum that I found the movement of bishops and priests on social media defending democracy and sovereignty strange, and they made it clear in posts on social media that part of the Church was positioning itself against Flávio Bolsonaro's candidacy. A video of bishops from the Amazon region is what caught my attention to this. But after that, several others appeared. Pastor Zé Barbosa explained this movement. There was a reaction to Flávio's statement that his first act would be to hand the country over to Lord Jesus. Church leaders understood that statement as anti-Catholic due to the value that the Church places on Mary and Our Lady Aparecida, especially in Brazil. The fact that the Catholic Church has saints is something traditionally fought against by the vast majority of evangelical denominations, and Maria Cristina did not invent the project of a former Bolsonaro deputy who is running for election. It exists. It is archived and can be unarchived at any moment. Church sources may have alerted her to this. What astonishes me in all this is that despite the massacre that the colleague in the profession is going through, very few journalists have come to her defense. Either they preferred silence or are saying that she produced a fake news. In much less serious cases of attacks, many of them have gone to social media and used their platforms to defend freedom of the press and expression. Now they join the mob that will likely silence them if their candidate is elected. The same silence is happening with professional journalist organizations. They are silent. What they are doing to an excellent professional is absolutely repugnant. Nothing is more cowardly and shameful. As they also remained silent in the face of the terrifically evangelical minister's decision to censor the networks of hundreds of people. In a decision he took 40 minutes to make. I hope this silence and massacre towards Maria Cristina does not cost democracy in Brazil. Because if that happens, these journalist colleagues will have been complicit along with their organizations. (translated)

“I am afraid that trust in the current leadership has suffered great damage from what happened during the summer. Many federations, many players, many leagues have said that now is the time for change. I hope there will be a candidate against Gianni Infantino and that [the campaign] will not be just about the candidates' personalities, but also about their proposals to modernize and change the way the game is governed.” UEFA vice president Laura McAllister advocated for a change in leadership at FIFA this Friday and said she believes a strong candidate may emerge to defeat Gianni Infantino in the upcoming elections.

The information brought by journalist Maria Cristina Fernandes on GloboNews about efforts to take away the title of patroness of Brazil from Our Lady Aparecida is worrisome. Our Lady belongs to a history greater than any altar. She is the black image that three poor fishermen pulled from the waters of the Paraíba do Sul in 1717. She is the Saint who was embraced and chosen by the Brazilian people. She is present in the thousands of Marias Aparecidas throughout this country, in the faith of a nation. It was in 1946 that Jorge Amado, a Bahian like me, a constituent deputy from São Paulo, fought to include in the Constitution the amendment that reinforced religious freedom in Brazil. Almost fifty years later, on October 12, the country watched in outrage the image of the aggression against Our Lady on live television. People of all faiths rose up in repudiation. It is this tradition of respect, built with great difficulty, that is now at stake. This articulation would involve a segment of leaders and has never spoken for the millions of evangelicals in this country. And it opens a dangerous precedent: a state that accepts to downgrade one faith opens the door to disrespect any other, including the small church in the periphery or the denomination that may tomorrow find itself in the minority. Religious freedom protects evangelicals just as much as it protects Catholics and followers of African religions. Using political power to downgrade one religion in the name of another is to turn faith into an electoral weapon and pit Brazilians against Brazilians at the Sunday lunch table. Those who benefit from this dispute are the merchants of faith, who use the Bible as a platform and the pulpit as a campaign committee. The response must come firmly and unequivocally in defense of a secular state that respects memory, culture, and faith. (translated)

“The relationship with President BAP is very good, very positive. Many times clubs are managed from the outside in, and we do not allow that to happen,” José Boto. The football director of Flamengo, José Boto, participated this Thursday (24) in the Portugal Football Summit, an event that brings together professionals and leaders from the football industry at the FPF Arena Portugal, integrated into the City of Football in Oeiras, in the Lisbon region. “The sporting director is not just the person who hires players during the transfer windows and then disappears. It is a daily management job of the various multidisciplinary teams of the club, putting them all at the service of the football team and the performance we want.” (translated)

ATLAS RESEARCH: LULA SURPASSES FLÁVIO... If there was a survey in which Flávio needed, at a minimum, to preserve space in this final stretch, it was at Atlas. Atlas conducts its collection via digital recruitment, in an environment where the right historically has a huge capacity for mobilization. And, in the previous round, it was precisely there that Flávio was numerically ahead of Lula in the second round. Just five days ago: Flávio 47.2% Lula 46.8% Now: Lula 47.7% Flávio 47.4% Flávio lost the numerical lead precisely in Atlas and Lula moved ahead. And there is another piece of data that I consider even more important to understand the movement. The financial perception of families has improved significantly. The percentage of Brazilians saying they reached the end of the month without money fell from 40% to 34%. Meanwhile, those who managed to save money increased from 31.5% to 36%. In other words: while a good part of the political debate was stuck on the STF crisis, the survey captured a much more concrete improvement in financial perception. And Flávio was unable to turn all the crisis of recent weeks into an advantage even in Atlas, where he had still appeared numerically ahead five days ago. (translated)
