Other mandates
“Senate discusses changing precedent in Dilma case and leaving presidents more exposed to impeachment” (Politics, 12/15). It is appropriate and necessary for the project to cover all levels of power.
Lourival Vieira (São Paulo, SP)
Presidents, on either side, could not contradict the noble senators. Think about it. And as a pretext, they could allege everything that happened in another mandate. Don’t think that the right would have a safe conduct.
Lorena Almeida Pardelhas (Porto Alegre, RS)
As long as the rule applies to members of Congress, I might even agree. It would be even better if the decision was submitted to a referendum among the population.
Walter de Morais son (São Bernardo do Campo, SP)
Does Congress not have a plan for Brazil? Is their priority arm wrestling? Who overthrows or saves whom? Everyday life becomes a circus.
Thais Carvalho Porto (El Salvador, BA)
I like the idea, let’s do the same thing for deputies and senators too? And why not an annual referendum? Continuous renewal.

“Kast wins the presidency of Chile and the country returns to the right in a Trumpist version” (Mundo, 14/12). Despite the victory, we see a very divided society. We continue to say that there is no class struggle.
Valdir Machado (Esteio, RS)
Paraguay, Argentina, Chile… In 2026 it will be Brazil’s turn to free itself from this left incapable of governing our nation.
Edmundo Alvares (Goiania, GO)
It amazes me how people forget their history.
Valdicilia CT of Lucena (São Paulo, SP)
Congratulations to Chilean democracy. The alternation of power is fundamental.

Lula on SBT
“Silvio Santos’ daughter responds to criticism for hosting Lula and Alexandre de Moraes on SBT News” (Mônica Bergamo, 12/15). Civility requires posture. The SBT decided to invite representatives of federal and state authorities. This is not bias. Zezé Di Camargo is radical in his ideological position. Regrettable. The only one who loses is him. Without a major channel to showcase your music.
Dirt from Silva Lima (Manaus, AM)
Women are always compared to prostitutes. Could it be that, if the heirs of Silvio Santos were men, Zezé would say that they were prostitutes?

Inguinal hernia
“Bolsonaro’s defense asks Moraes for urgent authorization for surgery” (Politics, 12/15). Anyway: operate, spend the necessary time in the hospital (very well guarded) and return to the comfortable facilities of the prison system.
Gustavo Moreira (Rio de Janeiro, RJ)
Minister Alexandre de Moraes should order an examination by an independent medical team. Nothing prevents this surgery story from being a farce forged in collusion. A person with a recurring history of untruths, surrounded by people with such questionable behavior, must be monitored extremely rigorously.

Brazilian-style anti-fascism
“Brazil is a world leader against fascism and has become an example by stopping Bolsonaro, says the American philosopher” (Monde, 12/15). Thank you for this excellent interview! Our years of slavery also taught us to resist and to be more inclusive and plural. It is our cultural wealth that can also protect us from the next authoritarian attempts, because they will certainly come.
Josephine Martins (São José dos Campos, SP)
We are proud of Brazil and its Superior Court which, with the help of a considerable part of the population and its leaders, managed to curb the rise of Bolsonarism in our country. The fight was tough, in every trench, in every house, but the support of one of the powers, its strength and determination were fundamental. Trump’s age is an obstacle to this growth, very well mentioned by the interviewee. Once again, time is our greatest value!
