Bolsonaro gathers thousands of supporters in São Paulo one month before the presidential elections

SAPO Notícias8 September 2026 at 02:31

The presidential candidate for Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, gathered thousands of supporters in São Paulo at an event held one month before the presidential elections scheduled for October 4. The event featured the presence of the candidate's son, demonstrating the strength of the mobilization around the candidacy.

The supporters protested against the judicial power, which convicted the candidate's father, demonstrating discontent with the judicial decisions involving the Bolsonaro family. This opposition to the judicial system was one of the central themes of the gathering.

The incumbent President, Lula da Silva, was also the target of criticism by the participants in the event. Lula is Bolsonaro's rival in these presidential elections, in a dispute that has mobilized attention both nationally and internationally.

The gathering in São Paulo served as a demonstration of political strength a few weeks before the elections, at a time when the presidential race intensifies between the two main candidates.

Open letter to the young people of my land and my Europe</minimax:tool_call> from the response, I should just provide the translation without any preamble or quotes.

This is an opinion piece, in the form of an open letter, addressed to the young people of Europe, warning about the dangers of extremism and the far-right. The author acknowledges the legitimate frustrations of young people, such as difficulty accessing housing and insufficient salaries, but warns that anger should not be channeled toward authoritarian movements that promise simple solutions to complex problems. Drawing on historical examples, he argues that all totalitarian regimes came to power promising to protect the people, only to end up taking away freedoms. The text is specifically addressed to young people in eastern Germany, highlighting the irony of populations that survived the suffocation of communism in the GDR now embracing radical forces like the AfD. Despite acknowledging that democracy is imperfect and slow, the author argues that it is the only space where freedom exists and that it should not be traded for the return of anti-democratic ideologies already proven to be devastating.

Still the Shelter

A citizen publicly questions what the position of the Association of Municipalities of Madeira is regarding Regional Regulatory Decree No. 16/2026/M, which creates a special regime for the Amparo area in Funchal. The article alerts that the decree submits urbanistic acts to prior authorization from the Regional Secretary for Equipment and Infrastructures, with the Municipal Chamber only being heard, raising doubts about the erosion of municipal autonomy. The author asks for clarification on whether the Association of Municipalities was consulted, if it considers municipal competencies safeguarded, and if it would accept the replication of this model in other municipalities, arguing that the question of Amparo should be treated as a matter of principle for all municipalities in the region.
