Summary: it would be bad for Lula to go to the debate. It would be bad for the empty chair with his name. What to do? This is easy! Your problems are over. Just call a judge from the TSE, preferably a friend of Flávio Dino, and prohibit the podium with the name of the corrupt, exonerated, and friend of the dictator. Poof. Problem solved. With censorship and in a magic trick, everything is canceled. But what about the voter?… Who? (translated)
Gilmar Mendes' decision to impose Renan Santos' presence was correct, from the moment that Nunes Marques imposed the presence of Romeu Zema in the #Debatenaglobo. One wrong decision justified the other. Now prohibiting the empty pulpit was absurd because this has always been the case in any debate with any absence, whether for mayor, governor, or president. In fact, this has happened in all presidential debates because Lula and Flavio did not attend any. (translated)
And Rede Globo enters the history of the country as one of the most coupist, cowardly, and dirty networks. In Jornal Nacional, they didn't even have the decency to say that Flávio Bolsonaro withdrew from the debate. They preferred to blame the Justice, Lula, and Renan, when it was they themselves who created this embarrassment by setting up an unfair debate, designed to turn President Lula into a target throughout the night. They didn't achieve what they wanted, they had to cancel, and now they're there crying. Cowards. Coupists. You deserve the drain of history. And, if we have any shame, we will never watch anything on Globo again. Never again. Today the victory was ours. And we will elect President Lula against everything and everyone, including against this dirty and coupist media. (translated)
More than 3 million people watching Lula da Silva live being interviewed. The candidate's strategy was not to go to the presidential debate and to be interviewed outside. (translated)
Maybe it won't surpass 2022, but the engagement in this election is very high, it's not flopping at all. I'm in a town of 12 thousand inhabitants and people only talk about Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro. The second round is going to be intense, we'll have militia barbecues during the debates! (translated)
For @caiojunqueiraf → PT signed the minutes with a rule that provided for an empty seat in case of absence in the debate. (translated)
My God! The crybaby face of Tralli when announcing on Jornal Nacional the cancellation of Globo's debate after falling into his own trap, while Lula hits millions of viewers on Flow. (translated)
The fear that Globo has of Renan Santos is so great that they preferred to cancel the debate rather than let him speak. While it was just a platform for the "allowed" right of Flavio, everything was fine. 😂 (translated)
URGENT - Renan Santos challenges Flávio to a debate and says that if he wins, he will withdraw from the candidacy “Flávio, I’m here in Rio near your house.

If you defeat me, I will withdraw my candidacy and declare support for you.” (translated)

Here's the reflection: if the debate is such an important element, why was it canceled, harming the other candidates? They see it as entertainment. (translated)

URGENT: TV Globo issues a statement informing the cancellation of the Presidential Debate. (translated)
🚨URGENT🚨 Globo canceled the debate because Flávio Bolsonaro is not going. The excuse is that the courts interfered with the rules. Globo has a candidate and doesn't even hide it! (translated)
Lula reveals the REASON for NOT PARTICIPATING in the Globo debate: “So, I honestly don’t like this type of debate. I would prefer a debate where a television station, or you yourself, asked the same question to several candidates. And the candidates should be roughly in conditions to compete. You can't take a person who has forty-nine percent and put them to compete with a person who is just starting to have one percent. It’s disproportionate even for the viewer.” (translated)
