A candidata do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), Nelita Frank, que disputa o governo de Roraima, está evitando mencionar diretamente o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva em suas campanhas eleitorais, tanto nas redes sociais quanto na mídia tradicional. Isso acontece em meio a uma eleição suplementar agendada para o próximo domingo (21), após o Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) cassar o mandato do ex-governador Antonio Denarium, do Republicanos. O estado, conhecido por sua forte tendência a votar em Jair Bolsonaro, apresenta um cenário eleitoral complexo, especialmente com a baixa popularidade de Lula, que obteve menos de 24% das intenções de voto em 2022, contra 76% do ex-presidente.
Para evitar uma campanha nacionalizada, que poderia atrair atenção excessiva para o nome de Lula, a equipe de Nelita decidiu concentrar-se em temas locais. Durante o horário eleitoral gratuito, ela destacou propostas como o combate ao garimpo ilegal, reforço na fiscalização ambiental e proteção das mulheres e crianças. A campanha também conta com a apoiação de dois pré-candidatos à Assembleia Legislativa do Estado, Roberto Ramos e Edgard Zanette. A assessoria da candidata justifica a estratégia afirmando que o apoio de Lula é público, mas a campanha priorizou a apresentação de propostas e o diálogo direto com a população roraimense.
A escolha de Nelita como candidata do PT surgiu após uma decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) que permitiu um prazo menor de desincompatibilização eleitoral. O partido havia inicialmente apoiado Antônia Pedrosa, mas ela foi barrada por essa decisão judicial. A campanha ressalta que o calendário eleitoral é extremamente curto, com debates focados exclusivamente em questões locais, evitando assim a nacionalização da campanha.
Paralelamente, o senador Flávio Bolsonaro, pré-candidato à Presidência pelo PL-RJ, protocolou um pedido para participar de uma audiência pública nos Estados Unidos sobre a possível aplicação de tarifas contra o Brasil. A audiência, marcada para 6 de julho, é parte do processo aberto sob a Seção 301 da Lei de Comércio Americana de 1974. O USTR (Representante de Comércio dos Estados Unidos) concluiu que o Brasil adota práticas comerciais consideradas injustas ou discriminatórias em seis áreas, incluindo o comércio digital, tarifas preferenciais desiguais e desmatamento ilegal. A proposta de tarifa de 25% sobre produtos brasileiros exportados para os EUA gerou críticas, especialmente após a aplicação de tarifas punitivas de 40% em 2025 por causa de uma investigação sobre o julgamento de Jair Bolsonaro.
Flávio Bolsonaro, que já esteve na Casa Branca com Donald Trump, defendeu que a aplicação de tarifas prejudicaria tanto produtores quanto consumidores dos dois países e beneficiaria o governo de Lula. Ele também prometeu mostrar que as medidas propostas favoreceriam o governo Lula, sugerindo uma aliança estratégica. A audiência será presencial em Washington, e Flávio solicitou cinco minutos para apresentar seus argumentos. Após os depoimentos, o comitê responsável pelo processo poderá fazer perguntas aos participantes. A audiência não será transmitida ao vivo, e a transcrição oficial será divulgada posteriormente.
Além disso, o USTR planeja outra audiência pública no dia 7 de julho, relacionada a uma investigação sobre trabalho forçado e outras formas de trabalho análogo à escravidão em cadeias produtivas de 60 países, incluindo o Brasil. Nesse contexto, o Brasil enfrenta pressões internacionais, enquanto o governo Lula tenta manter uma posição diplomática equilibrada diante de demandas econômicas e políticas. A situação reflete a complexidade das relações internacionais e domésticas durante o período eleitoral, com diferentes estratégias e reações de figuras políticas.

CartaCapitalIndependentRight10 days agoFlávio Bolsonaro, a son and presidential candidate from the PL party, has requested to participate in a public hearing in the United States regarding potential new tariffs on Brazilian exports. He claims he would better represent Brazil's interests than President Lula (PT). The hearing, organized by the U.S. Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), was proposed after an investigation into alleged unfair trade practices by Brazil. Earlier this year, the U.S. imposed punitive tariffs of 40% on Brazilian goods following former President Donald Trump's criticism of the legal proceedings against his ally, Jair Bolsonaro. In May, Flávio Bolsonaro met with Trump at the White House, and shortly afterward, the U.S. designated two major Brazilian criminal groups as terrorists and suggested further tariff measures, which were strongly criticized by President Lula.

Gazeta do PovoIndependentRight10 days agoSenator Flávio Bolsonaro, a Brazilian senator and presidential candidate, has formally requested to testify at a public hearing organized by the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on July 6th. This hearing is part of a process under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974, which allows the U.S. government to investigate foreign trade practices deemed 'unfair or discriminatory' and impose tariffs in response. The USTR concluded that Brazil engages in practices harming American commerce in six areas, including digital trade, electronic payment services, anti-corruption efforts, intellectual property, ethanol market access, and illegal deforestation. Based on this conclusion, the USTR proposed a 25% tariff on Brazilian goods and opened a public comment period before making a final decision. Bolsonaro plans to argue against the tariff, claiming it would harm producers and consumers in both countries while benefiting President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s government. The hearing will take place in person in Washington, D.C., with participants submitting written comments by July 1st and the USTR expected to announce its final decision by July 15th.

Gazeta do PovoIndependentRight10 days ago Flávio Bolsonaro asks to speak out against tariffs in US hearingSenator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), a potential presidential candidate, has requested to speak at a U.S. hearing regarding a proposed 25% tariff on Brazilian goods. The hearing, scheduled for July 6, comes after discussions between Bolsonaro and former U.S. President Donald Trump, where trade issues were addressed. Bolsonaro plans to oppose the tariffs and argue they would benefit President Luiz Inácio Lula’s (PT) administration while harming producers in both countries. He also aims to challenge the U.S. decision to label Brazilian gangs as terrorist organizations. The U.S. government received complaints from credit card companies about Brazil’s Pix payment system, which they claim gives an unfair advantage to digital payments over traditional methods. Bolsonaro’s family has faced criticism linking them to the Pix system, prompting efforts to reframe the narrative.
Bias read (Right): The article frames Flávio Bolsonaro as a 'prominent opposition figure' and emphasizes his role as a 'reformist government' advocate, suggesting a contrast with the current administration. It highlights his opposition to tariffs and ties them to the Lula government, implying a conservative stance. Ph
O GloboIndependentCenter13 days agoThe Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Luís Roberto Barroso has blocked paid social media promotion by the Liberal Party (PL) against former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The decision comes amid ongoing legal battles involving Lula, who is currently serving a prison sentence related to corruption charges. The PL had sought to amplify its criticism of Lula through targeted online advertising, but Justice Barroso ruled that such actions could interfere with judicial processes and undermine the fairness of the proceedings. This move highlights the increasing scrutiny of political campaigns and their influence on judicial matters in Brazil.
