Não importa se você apoia o Renan. Retuíte.

Private investiment ??? The money came from FGC (Credit Guarantee Fund)!!! This means every brazilian who is part of the financial system paid for the "movie".

[WeeeiweeeiBR sp @weeeiweeeibrsp]

@afonsobcj @TheEconomist @elonmusk This is fake news. @FlavioBolsonaro only mediated a private investment from Master Bank to produce Dark Horse movie. He's not camparable to the other suspects. It was only bad business, exactly the same money route that Rede Globo did.

Update in Brazilian "democracy":

The presidential election is 5 weeks away. One candidate -- the 40-year-old libertarian-ish @RenanSantosMBL -- has little chance to win, but has created some enthusiasm among young people and those online.

He's been highly critical of a Supreme Court judge enmeshed in a corruption scandal, so today that judge just casually issued a decree barring him from continuing his campaign, claiming that he found "irregular" social media activity.

We've seen this more and more in "democracies": anti-establishment candidates who get any popularity just get banned (tried it with Marine LePen, reverse the Romanian election, and, of course, one of the main strategies of Dems in 2024 was to have Trump banned from all ballots). #Democracy

The Economist profiled him but then had to add a note saying his campaign was just banned:

Para mim essa é uma data especial. Há exatos 10 anos, no dia 31 de Agosto de 2016, nós tivemos o prazer de derrubar a então presidente Dilma Rousseff.

Hoje, o senhor José Antonio Dias Toffoli, ex-advogado do Lula e atual ministro do STF, decidiu por meio de uma decisão monocrática suspender a minha candidatura à presidência.

Segundo a decisão do ministro, eu devo deletar minhas redes sociais e não me manifestar sobre o caso.

Venho por meio desse comunicado reiterar o príncipio-mor da nossa Constituição: Decisão ilegal não se cumpre.

Recorremos contra essa inflexão autoritária do ministro Dias Toffoli. Ao longo desse ano, denunciei diversas vezes a relação do ministro com figuras ligadas ao Banco Master e organizei protestos pelo seu impeachment. Quero crer que essa decisão tenha sido uma mera coincidência.

Não vamos abaixar a cabeça. Seguimos adiante em nosso esforço pela defesa do Estado Democrático de Direito.

@TheEconomist @elonmusk Brazil’s Supreme Court is trying to ban the only major right-wing candidate who isn’t implicated in the R$57 BILLION Bank Master scandal — a case involving Alexandre de Moraes, Dias Toffoli, Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro.

What do you think about what’s happening in Brazil?

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

For all his bragging, Renan Santos is no charlatan. The 42-year-old is running to become Brazil’s next president on a wonkish platform that sketches out a bold vision for the country https://t.co/zpUl6H7bOM
