Hero, erasing the permanent seasonality at the hospital is what's really difficult!

The article criticizes the President of the Regional Government of Madeira, Miguel Albuquerque, for investing 10.2 million euros in expanding the golf course in Porto Santo, justifying the decision with the argument of "erasing seasonality." The author questions the legitimacy invoked by Albuquerque, arguing that voters cast ballots for generic lists without knowing the true political intentions, and warns of historical precedents of golf courses that required repeated injections of public funds to remain operational. The criticism extends to the distortion of priorities, suggesting that resources should be channeled toward pressing needs such as housing, health, and cost of living, instead of "luxury lawns," accusing the politician of using propaganda and promises to maintain power.

Augusto Cury on TV Globo: candidate defends reduction of ministries, creation of security portfolio and adjustment to Bolsa Família

Presidential candidate Augusto Cury (Avante) defended in an interview on TV Globo the taxation of sports betting platforms (bets) at at least 50% as a way to increase public revenue and reduce Brazilian debt, which according to him is at "stratospheric levels." Currently, bets pay only 12% in taxes, while food pays 18% and electricity between 30% and 33%. Cury also stated that he will create a specific portfolio for security, reduce the number of ministries after careful analysis, adjust the Bolsa Família program and combat corruption in a potential government.

Chico, the Social Neighborhoods, and the Geometry of Discourses.

This article is a political critique of a politician called "Chico" who visits social neighborhoods, photographs himself with residents, and simultaneously constructs a discourse in which social welfare recipients are presented as a national problem. The author questions the coherence between these actions and warns of the danger of generalizations, particularly on social media where serious accusations are made against Muslim communities. He argues that politics demands consistency: whoever points the finger at others cannot demand to be judged only by their words, and that in a serious democracy questions are asked, evidence is presented, and convictions are left to the courts.
