Historian Jones Manoel (PSOL) argued that to reverse the scenario and defeat Bolsonarism, President Lula's campaign needed to present a perspective for the future, rather than focusing only on what had already been accomplished. According to him, in the following 20 days, Lula should expose a political project capable of convincing people that it would be worth voting and campaigning, with the promise of a concrete and positive impact on their lives if re-elected. https://t.co/O7Fo5pvZqv #Lula2026 #Eleições #Bolsonarismo (translated)

Poponze wrote that Marina Sena declared her vote for Lula and took a stand against Flávio Bolsonaro. According to the report, she compared two projects: one that, in her view, would deliver Brazilian wealth to a country with a predatory and colonial logic, willing to turn Brazil or other countries into deserts to enrich itself, and another that would seek to preserve the country's autonomy and keep Brazilians as owners of their resources. #Lula #Brasil #Política (translated)

B24 published a statement in which Cristiano Ronaldo presented his version of the misunderstanding with the national coach and his exit from the training camp. The forward stated that, after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared a farewell letter, but the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) had asked him to reconsider his departure. He also mentioned that he had supported the choice of the current coach. Ronaldo stated that the coach had presented him with a plan for his participation in the national team and that, in an initial conversation, he had suggested that he not travel for the matches in Norway and Denmark. According to the player, he rejected the proposal as he believed it would not be a good example for the captain to stay in Portugal. He noted that Simão Coutinho, sports director of Al Nassr, had accompanied the discussions. Regarding the match in Norway, Ronaldo reported that the coach asked him if he was available to play for 30 minutes. He said he accepted, despite recovering physically, but warmed up from halftime and did not end up playing. The player stated that, in a meeting 48 hours later, the coach agreed to publicly explain the agreed plan and acknowledged that it was a mistake to make him warm up without putting him on the field. According to Ronaldo, the coach had promised to do so at a press conference but had not fulfilled the agreement. The forward said he had validated notes for the conference, in which the coach would acknowledge proposing the plan, affirm that Ronaldo had accepted it without questioning the options, and admit that he would not make him warm up again under those circumstances. Ronaldo stated that the coach should also recognize the importance of the player, who had represented the national team for 24 years, and argue that problems should not be invented around his reaction after the game. Ronaldo said he decided to leave the training camp because he felt the coach had broken his word for the second time. He apologized to the fans for not greeting them after the game and to his teammates for leaving, taking responsibility for both decisions. He added that he accepted being punished by the FPF without mitigating circumstances, as he was the captain. The player stated that he would continue to be available to compete for Portugal after serving the suspension, as long as he was physically well and playing for the club. He also said that he hoped to have one or more farewell matches, but that his priority was to continue competing and winning for the national team. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)

Carlos Bolsonaro stated that, after nearly 11 months of attempts to weaken Flávio Bolsonaro, there would now be a new attempt to divide the family, with people presenting themselves as decisive at the last moment in exchange for a future concession from the system. He attributed the main role in Flávio's success to the people. Carlos said he would work to ensure that the population received what they deserved and criticized power projects from people he described as morally despicable, including those who, according to him, invoked God to present themselves as authorized. He also stated that his father had taught him that he was no better than anyone else and dedicated his efforts to Brazil, to the political prisoners of January 8, and to future generations. #Brasil #Política #Família (translated)

Amandinha affirmed that Flávio Bolsonaro would put an end to universities and said that his project aimed to replicate the privatist model of the United States, which she classified as a failure.

"Chega has already done everything it could do. We have already put forward the project, already guaranteed it provisionally, and already indicated the names. Now the swearing-in has to take place. If Aguiar Branco refuses to do it, he is committing an unconstitutional act, something clearly against the Constitution. But worse than that, he is showing that he is a president of the Assembly equally tied to interests, like Ferro Rodrigues and Augusto Santos Silva. And that is wrong. It is inconceivable to accept that an inquiry committee could be halted because two are ongoing." André Ventura insists that Aguiar Branco is tied to the interests of the PSD and the PS. #ParlamentoEuropeu #OrçamentoEuropeu #AçõesGovernamentais (translated)
