No one asks to intervene in the housing market on a whim. It is asked because there are families that cannot make ends meet, and that deserves respect, not contempt. But what worries me is the diagnosis. If the problem is that there are not enough houses, and it is, the measures that... (translated)

The NYT points to interference from the Trump government to favor Flavio. This should be enough for Brazilians to be worried. The tone of the report is one of fear of looting and plundering the country's wealth. This would happen for decades. I have an opinion at the end. What the NYT claims, in summary: The newspaper states that it has not openly endorsed any candidate, but that the American government is trying to favor Flávio Bolsonaro against Lula. The text cites, as examples of these measures, tariffs, sanctions against Brazilian authorities, the designation of PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorist organizations, and questions about electronic voting machines. Brazilian authorities, diplomats, and electoral technicians interviewed by the newspaper (many anonymously) say that Brazil is setting up a “barrier” to reduce the risk of interference: monitoring foreign lobbying and disinformation, responding to fraud allegations, and discussions with countries in Europe, Asia, and others about a joint reaction after the election. Lula, at the UN and in campaign propaganda, accused the Trump government of interfering to “colonize” Brazil and take its natural resources. The newspaper emphasizes that it is unclear whether this push helps Flávio. In a close contest, a nudge from Trump could decide, but it could also provoke an anti-Trump reaction and increase the vote for Lula, as the NYT says happened in Canada and Australia. The article has a tone of fear, in Brazil, that something similar to what Trump did in other countries could be repeated, coupled with American measures that the newspaper interprets as favorable to the right. All in all: within what the NYT itself can do, the pressure from the Trump government on the press is systematic, it's a big alert. However, I think Brazilians still do not grasp the magnitude of what lies ahead. There will be decades of political, economic, democratic, and social backsliding. Many do not want to hear it. They are mistakenly convinced otherwise. The plundering will run rampant and there will be no one to investigate. (translated)

🤔Some reflections on the voting on Friday 👇 🫡 Left-wing parties will abide by what social organizations say, as happened with the RD of Palestine. 😮💨 That this generates relief in the PSOE and Sumar (while making things easier for Junts and the PNV) and causes some 😠 frustration in the squares and left-wing groups should be understood as the reality of politics. The congratulations from Minister Puente, so outraged these days by the maximalism of the demands, say it all. 📰 Just look at today's covers of the progressive media to understand that we are in another scenario. The media expect that the squares will empty from tomorrow. 🤔Could it have been different? Rufián disavowing Junqueras by saying that ERC's vote was not assured, or various economists from the Sumar environment criticizing the measures of the decrees as insufficient, made me think that there could be a pressure block on the Government beyond Podemos and squares full of younger individuals more radicalized than the social organizations. 🙋🏻♂️🙋♀️ But it is the tenant unions that are responsible for pinpointing the scope of their objectives and defining their strategy for mobilization and negotiation. And this must be accepted. 🚩However, beyond that, the street has once again taken on political prominence in Spain and has gone beyond social organizations. The squares, as was the case with 15M, have managed to place the debate on housing (an ideological one, without a doubt) at the political center and have allowed left mobilization to regain momentum. 🔴 From the experiences of mobilization processes, new political leaders always emerge. I have spoken with some members of youth political organizations who have learned a lot these days from their prominence in the squares. Order reigns in Berlin... For now... (translated)
