Xico Graziano accused Lula of lying and presented as evidence a publication by Everardo Maciel, Secretary of the Federal Revenue during Fernando Henrique Cardoso's (FHC) government. In the text shared by Graziano, Maciel refuted statements he attributed to Lula in a debate on Band: that he had created the Simples and received a “broken” country from FHC. Maciel asserted that the regime was established by Law No. 9.317, of December 5, 1996, during FHC's government, following the conversion of MP No. 1.526, of November 5, 1996, approved by symbolic voting in both Houses of Congress. He also stated that he conceived the regime and its name with the collaboration of members of the Federal Revenue. Maciel added that the success of the federal Simples inspired similar regimes in the States and that Complementary Law No. 123, of December 14, 2006, extended and unified the system for States that had not yet adopted it and for the Municipalities. According to him, this recognized the success of the program created during FHC's government. Regarding public accounts, Maciel said he coordinated the economic transition between FHC's and Lula's governments, with the exception of the Central Bank, and stated that the transition team recognized the fiscal balance. He attributed part of the turbulence in 2002 to the markets' reaction to the election perspective and said Lula committed, in the Letter to the Brazilian People, to maintain the inherited fiscal policy. In Maciel's assessment, the continuity of this policy, along with a favorable international scenario, largely explained the fiscal performance of Lula's first term. Maciel questioned whether Lula needed to offend FHC's legacy or claim the creation of the Simples, and Graziano concluded the post by asking if there was anything more to say. #Lula #FHC #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Pedro Menin wrote that the "Roberta episode" had intensified the PT campaign. According to him, initially, members of the old guard argued that Lula should not participate in the debate, but the discussion widened and the decision remained open due to divergences with the so-called janonista wing. Menin stated that supporters began to push for Edinho's departure, who has been the president of the PT since 1985 and coordinator of the campaign. He also attributed to Lula the assessment that this was the worst campaign he had seen since 1989. According to Menin, ministers mentioned by Roberta, including Camilo Santana, advocated for a more robust response instead of avoiding the debate. The author said that, as reported by Metrópoles, part of the power previously concentrated in Edinho had been distributed among other party leaders. Menin added that campaign members were already considering advancing the election for the presidency of the PT in case Lula lost, and he assessed that Edinho might leave his position. Finally, he stated that the movement for Lula to back out of the debate was strong the day before, but that the forces had balanced out since then. Menin questioned whether Lula would participate and how his emotional state would be. https://t.co/fRTftDu1RP #Lula #PT #Eleições (translated)

It is necessary to calculate everything well because there is great balance among all the cyclists. The race was very close until the end. So, I think that managing to stay calm was the key to victory. To win, we have to be cold and play well the limited cards we have at our disposal. Emotional reaction? It was one of the hardest weeks I have faced in my career. It was very stressful, we faced many problems, but here we are, a week later, with the title. It is a relief to take all this pressure off my shoulders and my team’s. We are very proud and happy. Present were also the words of Iúri Leitão on the eve, when he explained the emotional reaction after the victory in the omnium in light of the “hardest week of his career,” which added even more significance to the triumph… as it would now to a new medal. #Ciclismo #MundiaisDeCiclismo #Portugal (translated)

VEJA reported that debates about the permanence of Our Lady Aparecida as the patroness of Brazil diverted attention from issues like public debt and security during the campaign. The magazine attributed to Globo the spread of what it classified as the biggest fake news of the dispute: the rumor that Flávio Bolsonaro would support a project to strip the saint of her title. According to the publication, the candidate and his campaign denied the information. VEJA said the topic gained traction after journalist Maria Cristina Fernandes addressed it on GloboNews. The network later clarified that the proposal had been presented in 2007 and archived the following year, and apologized to viewers. The magazine added that left-wing politicians continued to discuss the matter even after the denial. #eleições2026 #Brasil #fakeNews #eleições (translated)

Rodney criticized members of the Workers' Party who, according to him, presented their side as if they wanted to elect a figure like Mother Teresa of Calcutta. He stated that Bolsonarism was a reaction to the election of a former president convicted in three instances and claimed that R$ 42 billion had been diverted from Petrobras. He also stated that, after the group returned to power, R$ 6 billion would have been diverted from INSS retirees. He said that this case was more serious because it involved poor and elderly people and claimed that another R$ 1 billion from workers' pension funds could have been diverted if a scheme involving Vorcaro had progressed. Rodney also criticized members of the Workers' Party for accusing the other side of not accepting arguments and acting like a cult. He said they should reflect on their own stance. #Política #Brasil #Corrupção (translated)
