Erika Hilton criticized the proposal attributed to Daniella Marques, economic coordinator for Flávio Bolsonaro, who reportedly told CBN that if he were elected, beneficiaries of Bolsa Família would be removed from the program in two years to start a business or accept a job. Hilton called the measure absurd and stated that since 2023, 4.58 million beneficiaries and former beneficiaries of the program have secured formal employment, according to her, thanks to the Lula government. She also said that no one would refuse a job to receive 691 reais per month. The congresswoman questioned whether Flávio Bolsonaro's plan expected people dependent on the benefit to use that amount to start businesses and asked if everyone living below the poverty line should start a business in two years, in addition to questioning what they would sell and who would buy. #BolsaFamília #Empreendedorismo #Política (translated)

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)

Truecaller questioned whether Brazilians would allow Donald Trump to influence the country's electoral system in defense of U.S. interests. It predicted that Trump would lose control of the House and Senate in November, would be unable to govern, and would leave office in two years. The author stated that China was economically more important to Brazil than the United States because it buys Brazilian products and can help during crises. He also mentioned that the United States had a trade surplus with Brazil and was a direct competitor to agribusiness and Embraer. Truecaller also said that Brazilians were being influenced by a nonsensical narrative and cited controversies involving the PL and the Bolsonaro family. It claimed that the president of the PL had been arrested in the mensalão scandal, that Flávio Bolsonaro campaigned for Eduardo Cunha, who was imprisoned in the Lava Jato operation, and that the scandals involving INSS and Banco Master had arisen and grown during the Bolsonaro administration. It also criticized Jair Bolsonaro for, according to it, catering to the Centrão by releasing funds from the rapporteur and the secret budget. Regarding Flávio Bolsonaro, Truecaller stated that he did not have a government plan, had changed his position on the 6x1 work schedule, and had promised to cut R$ 200 billion in basic services to solve the fiscal problem, although he only explained R$ 70 billion, an amount the author considered inflated. It added that Flávio had not explained his pricing policy for Petrobras. Finally, Truecaller argued that spending cuts would reduce consumption and GDP and worsen the primary deficit by decreasing revenue. It cited Greece, Argentina, Chile, and Peru as examples where, according to it, austerity policies had failed. #PolíticaBrasil #Eleições2022 #Manipulação (translated)
