VEJA reported that the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) decided on Saturday, 17, that its cover story about reports from banker Daniel Vorcaro of Master, with allegations against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, could continue to be published. According to the magazine, TSE President Minister Nunes Marques stated that, in a preliminary analysis, there were not enough elements to remove the article and the publications that reproduced it. He pointed out excerpts in which the magazine expressed itself directly but said they should be evaluated in the context of the report, which attributed the central accusation to Vorcaro, included the candidate's denial, and recorded reservations. In the minister's provisional evaluation, there was no evident falseness or serious decontextualization demonstrated that would justify removal. The magazine stated that the report presented audios in which Vorcaro admitted to sending money to allies of the federal government to gain access to pension funds of state-owned companies, including Petrobras, Correios, Banco do Brasil, and Caixa Econômica Federal. According to the publication, the goal was to raise 10 billion reais in investments for the bank and to pass 1 billion reais to intermediaries with the government. VEJA also reported that Vorcaro's defense presented the information to the Attorney General's Office in an attempt to negotiate a plea bargain, but the agency rejected the proposal twice. #TSE #jornalismo #Lula (translated)

Rodrigo Lima stated that, according to internal surveys of the PT, Flávio would have 56% and would defeat Lula, and he said he believed that the result could not be reversed because both would have reached their ceiling of support. He accused André Janones of producing a misleading video and of asking the public to avoid interacting with right-wing publications. According to Lima, the strategy would be to attract to the second round people who did not vote in the first and to weaken the social media of the right. He also described the internal atmosphere of the PT as one of mourning and said that Janones had shown sadness in the video. Finally, he asked his supporters to remain steadfast until the 25th at 5 PM. #PT #Eleições2023 #Flávio (translated)

Gustavo Petro described the reduction of the workweek to five days in Brazil as a triumph of progressivism. He argued that the debate on reducing working hours and the time needed to retire should focus on who receives the benefits of increased productivity: companies or their workers. Petro stated that productivity was the result of knowledge accumulated by society and, therefore, a common good. He also questioned whether artificial intelligence should be privately owned and said that a minority group was appropriating human knowledge through information from networks and databases. In his view, increases in productivity should translate into shorter working hours and earlier retirements, so that people have more paid free time. #Progresismo #TrabajoJusto #InteligenciaArtificial (translated)

The author stated that the Dutch population had grown from just over 1.1 million since early 2016 to approximately 18.1 million. According to the author, around 173,000 people had died and 167,000 babies had been born in 2025, resulting in negative natural growth and the total growth coming entirely from migration. The author referred to Jan Latten, who estimated the group of Dutch origin at about 12.9 million, and wrote that this group was expected to shrink by 1 to 2 million over the coming decades. By 2050, according to the author, the Netherlands would have about 20 million inhabitants. The author argued that the changing population composition put pressure on social and cultural relations, social cohesion, the welfare state, and the housing market. It was written that rapid changes complicated integration and increased parallel societies and clashing norms and values. According to the author, politicians focused too much on symptom treatment and paid too little attention to population growth due to migration and low birth rates among the indigenous population. The author praised Latten for his expertise and warned that politics, media, and society needed to take demographic changes seriously. https://t.co/wVfulQlN6k #demografie #migratie #socialecohesie (translated)
