During a debate on the podcast Inteligência LTDA, former state deputy Arthur do Val (known as "Mamãe Falei"), ineligible after having his mandate revoked in 2022, mocked Natália Boulos (PSOL), a candidate for federal deputy in São Paulo and wife of Guilherme Boulos, by mentioning her Ukrainian grandmother, who was captured during World War II and subjected to forced labor. Natália had mentioned her own grandmother when confronting Arthur about the audio recordings that led to the revocation of his mandate. The provocation "Show her to us" generated an immediate reaction from the PSOL candidate, who classified the remarks as undignified, sparking outrage on social media.
Paulo Raimundo accused the Government of "throwing mud at the wall" regarding the promise not to touch Social Security during this legislation, considering that promise "is worth nothing".
Chega challenged the PS to make the party's proposals to lower VAT on fuels and the food basket viable, in a dynamic of political opposition regarding fiscal measures.
José Luís Carneiro again demanded a clear position from the prime minister guaranteeing that Social Security will not be privatized, reinforcing his opposition to any possibility of opening the Social Security system to the private sector.
The president of Chega, Ventura, today criticized the Government's inaction regarding the problems caused by storm Kristin, pointing particularly to the roads that remain closed without viable alternatives having been created for the affected population.
