Lula files complaint with TSE over alleged 'decontextualized and untrue facts' said by Flávio Bolsonaro in Glob interview

oglobo1 September 2026 at 02:20

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) filed a lawsuit at the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) on Sunday requesting right of reply for statements made by political adversary Flavio Bolsonaro (PL). The interview in question was conducted by TV Globo, where the PL presidential candidate was interviewed.

According to Lula's coalition, the senator said "a series of lies" on various topics, including electronic voting machines, the Pix system, and the January 8, 2023 coup acts. Lula's campaign stated that the adversary broadcast "false and seriously decontextualized statements" about facts related to the electoral process and Lula's candidacy.

Lula's legal team contests eight specific statements by Flavio Bolsonaro. Among them is a declaration in which the Rio de Janeiro senator attributes to Lula the responsibility for the tariff hike imposed by the United States, claiming that the PT member would not have taken the appropriate diplomatic measures.

The episode occurs amid the electoral period, with the TSE having already authorized the deployment of federal forces to Rio de Janeiro to reinforce security for the first round of elections.

The president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, filed on Monday night the indication of senator Rodrigo Pacheco for a vacancy at the Court of Accounts of the Union. The vote on the legislative decree project should occur this Tuesday, following an accelerated process that bypasses committees. The vacancy was opened after the early retirement of minister Bruno Dantas, who left the position to work in the private sector. The indication is under the Senate's purview, and the Palace of the Presidency is expected to take a favorable position. The TCU is composed of nine ministers, three indicated by the Senate, three by the Chamber and three by the Presidency of the Republic.

The Law for the Poor

The article analyzes the application of the Funchal Municipal Solid Waste Regulation, which fines impoverished people (between €25 and €250) for rummaging through trash to collect packaging from the "Volta" system (recoverable deposit). The author criticizes the speed with which the law is applied to the poorest, in contrast to the slowness and impunity regarding white-collar crime, tax fraud, and corruption, questioning the sensitivity of a system that punishes the survival of the vulnerable without resolving the causes of poverty.

Now we only have 100% execution in the PRR, with the flaws cleared.

The article criticizes the claim of 100% execution of the PRR (Recovery and Resilience Plan) in Portugal, arguing that it is "fake news". According to the text, about 2,000 million euros in works and investments planned in the PRR did not meet the European deadlines, having been removed through "reprogramming of targets and investments". The eliminated projects included public housing, dams, hospitals, and other complex infrastructure. The value was transferred to the State Budget, Portugal 2030, or EIB financing. The article concludes that the "success" of 100% execution is an "accounting illusion" — the original targets were reduced to fit the deadlines, and what wasn't ready in time is now paid by taxpayers instead of being funded as a grant by the European Union.
