The MPF’s Operation Edema, which removed the governor of Alagoas, Paulo Dantas (MDB), was a direct blow to the plans of Lula da Silva (PT). The presidential candidate has a trip to the state scheduled for tomorrow, but his staff is considering canceling to avoid associating the image of PT with a federal police-linked governor. That’s all President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) wants: to link Dantas, Renan Caleiros (his godfather in the dispute) and Lulu to corruption in the northeast. Coluna has been covering the OP investigation for two months now, which has been ongoing since 2018 and has entered a new phase. Dantas is under investigation for embezzling 54 million reais for a rachadinha (civil service payroll scheme) in the Legislative Assembly when he was a state deputy in 2017. His allies and Renan point to electoral motivation in the PF. operations, due to the fact that the investigation is not a new fact and appears on the eve of the 2nd round. Dantas is arguing with Rodrigo Cunha (UB), an ally of the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Bolsonarist Arthur Lear (Progressive).

Charging by @izanio_charges

Today, the most highly regarded candidates for the presidency in 2026 are starting to appear on the wheels of power: Romeu Zema, Geraldo Alkmin, Joao Doria Jr., Sergio Moro. Another possible presidential candidate is Senator-elect Damares Alves. This will be the plan of the right unless Tarcisio de Freitas succeeds in Sao Paulo or convinces him to become elected governor. Damares was surprised by the resourcefulness of the campaign, leaving Flavia Arruda at home with all the power of her husband José Roberto’s voice in the DF.

unpreparedness

The Learjet 75 that skidded on the runway at Congonhas Airport after a tire puncture is owned by concrete company Supermix, which has seven partners. Accidents in aviation happen for a variety of reasons. What Infraero still hasn’t explained is why it took nine hours to get the plane off the taxiway. Either hostility or unpreparedness is in both cases a serious mistake that strengthened the government’s privatization discourse. Just yesterday there were people affected by flight delays.

Journalism

Necessary, provocative, inflammatory and striking in the hypocrisy of electoral blindness, the O Dia cover from Rio, showing the controversial speech of those who until recently attacked Lulu and the PT, and today allies with the candidate in the face of the rooster. This shows that the country still succumbs to the projects of personal or party power, but there is no state project. The same thing happens to those who hug Bolsonaro and previously turned up their noses at him.
