He claimed that, in his assessment, they wanted to silence him, control the narrative, and gain power, and he declared that he would not yield or allow this again. #Esquerda #Política #Amizade (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that Nikolas Ferreira had published a video which, in her view, exposed the poverty and lack of basic services faced by people from the Northeast despite decades of political promises. She said that Lula da Silva built part of his public image based on his Pernambuco origins, fighting hunger, and the promise to improve the lives of the poorest. Michelin reported that people interviewed in the video described hardships, illnesses, and suffering that, according to her, spanned generations. She also claimed that the promises made by Lula in 2002 remained similar to those of 2026 and that, in her view, the Northeast should not only be remembered during elections. She argued that the Northeastern population should have a central role in the change and that their basic rights should be guaranteed. #Nordeste #Lula #Eleições2026 (translated)

Fábio Talhari predicted that the days until Sunday, the 25th, would be intense, contrary to what he claimed to have seen in right-wing profiles and in news reports, as well as accounts he heard and read. He stated that sectors of the left and Lula's allies were resentful about the debate, which they considered unfavorable to them. Talhari also claimed that a narrative about a supposed new investigation against Flávio Bolsonaro, linked to an episode involving Willer Tomaz, a friend of the senator, was being orchestrated. According to him, the case was randomly assigned to Alexandre de Moraes. The author said he was writing about the investigation and predicted that the topic would fuel discussions on social media in the following days. He described the impending competition as intense and expressed support for Flávio Bolsonaro's candidacy for the Presidency of Brazil in 2026. #PolíticaBrasileira #EsquerdaEDireita #DebatePolítico (translated)

The profile "Only Who is LULA 2026" stated that internal surveys indicated that Flávio Bolsonaro's aggressive stance would have alienated decisive voters. According to the author, Daniela Lima had presented the information first at Pulso Político. He also mentioned that Flávio's campaign acknowledged that the candidate had come close to crossing the line and that surveys from the PL itself highlighted that he did not answer questions, with the expression “No answer. Runs away.” The author wrote that Lula, who he attributed 80 years to, would exploit Flávio's stance and would contest the narrative on corruption. He mentioned cash purchases of properties, a second investigation for money laundering, and properties valued at 6 million and 1.5 million, demanding that Flávio lift the confidentiality to show the origin of the funds. The publication also listed topics and names that it claimed were trending, among them Janones, Collor, Haddad, Fred Bruno, Marcelo Aguiar, Piauí, Marabá, Carla Zambelli, Hospital Vila Nova Star, Ana Clara, Google, Jalen Hurts, Eagles, and Oruam. In the end, the author recommended that followers not comment, share, or interact with publications from the far-right, saying that the algorithm would recommend them to more people. He also stated that the opposing campaign would not achieve a knockout and that the decision would rest with the polls. #Eleições2024 #FlávioBolsonaro #Lula (translated)

The profile Só Quem é LULA 2026 stated that ICL Notícias had reported that Daniel Vorcaro, the owner of Banco Master, paid R$ 10 million per year to CNN and demanded to approve the questions before interviews. According to the profile, executives from the channel frequently asked for money, and an executive from Master allegedly described CNN as a recurring source of money requests. The author also accused CNN of giving space to Roberta Luchsinger to make accusations against Lula and Lulinha without presenting evidence, documents, or facts. It was stated that Vorcaro financed the channel and that Flávio traveled by private jet with him and negotiated millions with Banco Master. In the profile's assessment, Roberta's interview was not journalism but a service rendered; it also claimed that CNN charged instead of interviewing. The publication also mentioned the hashtags #DebateNaBand, #UmaSemanaParaOTetra, #AtoPelaDemocracia, #ElesPoderiamEstarVivos, and #VacinaSalvaVidaBolsonaroTira, in addition to Haddad, Roberta Luchsinger, Lulinha, Ministry of Prosperity, Pablo Marçal, Marcelo Aguiar, Collor, Nexus, PoderData, Bolsonaro, and Globo, in a series of references to topics and people that, according to the author, appeared in the debate or trends. In the end, it requested that the content be shared before it disappeared. #CNN #Imprensa #Jornalismo (translated)

The article analyzes how the political right in Spain uses the rhetoric of tax reduction to construct a narrative that favors its agenda, while the left struggles to demonstrate the importance of taxes as a collective investment and faces misinformation about taxation among young people, who are often influenced by viral discourses that undermine tax responsibility. #Impuestos #Fiscalidad #CulturaDigital (translated)

Deltan Dallagnol stated that, during the Band debate, Sidônio Palmeira, whom he described as the Minister of Secom and Lula's campaign strategist, interrupted the broadcast and disrespected journalists who were trying to maintain the program's rules. According to Dallagnol, the episode showed desperation behind the scenes of a campaign where Lula was confronted live and lost control of the narrative. He said that the end of the Lula era was scheduled for October 25. He also stated that Flávio finished the first round ahead and that the PT relied on the complacency of voters. Dallagnol urged votes for Flávio Bolsonaro, number 22, and for the video to be sent to people who did not vote or chose another candidate. #Lula #Eleição2023 #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that the PT campaign had vetoed the use of an aerial counting method with artificial intelligence at Lula's event the previous week, when the party mentioned "one million". He contrasted this alleged lack of transparency with the actions of the right and said that Flávio used a platform to defend the idea of "turning the sad page of the PT", one week before the second round, on 10/25. Constantino assessed that the number of 72 thousand was false and attributed the difference between the events to the mobilization he described as organic, without artists paid by the state or a ban on drones. He also stated that anti-PT sentiment led ordinary people to the streets, rather than professional activists, and said that the country needed to rid itself of lulism and what he called toga activism. #Política #Eleições2023 #Brasil (translated)

David Ágape claimed that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva would have used the death of comedian Paulo Gustavo and his mother's mourning to attack Flávio Bolsonaro and gain votes. According to the author, the timeline would dispute this narrative: Paulo Gustavo was 42 years old, was hospitalized on March 13, 2021, and died on May 4. Ágape wrote that there were already vaccines in Brazil at that time, but they were only intended for priority groups. He added that among the countries that were then vaccinating people of the same age group as Paulo Gustavo, there were only small countries like the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Israel. The author said that his report disputed these claims and addressed a connection with Vaza Toga 3 and the case of the WhatsApp messages from businesspeople. He also stated that the documentary associated with the hashtag #ElesPoderiamEstarVivos had been produced by a person infiltrated in the group, whose material reached the hands of the "Witch" and Guilherme Amado. https://t.co/HGcEhlSimq #Lula #PauloGustavo #Pandemia (translated)
