MARWA said that she spent four years being insulted on Twitter exclusively by leftists and accused of various things, without that leading her to change her position. She criticized people who, as she wrote, said they would vote for a militiaman after being called fascists online by one or two people, and stated that they were giving themselves too much importance. She also said that anyone who changed their position because of online comments and a statement from pedrinhodce1917 would have a weak mind and be easily influenced. #Fascismo #LiberdadeDeExpressão #PoliticaBrasileira (translated)

Antonio Tabet wrote that, during the Band debate, Lula offered to waive bank and telephone secrecy and challenged Flávio Bolsonaro to do the same. According to Tabet, Flávio conditioned his acceptance on the opening of accounts belonging to relatives and allies of the current president, after being pressured by allies. Tabet attributed the proposal to Pablo Marçal, whom he insulted and ironically referred to as a "strategist" and "future minister." Tabet stated that Lula accepted the condition and questioned whether Flávio would back down, pretend to faint, or claim social phobia. #Lula #FlávioBolsonaro #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)
