‘Continuity’
“Bolsonaro confirms the appointment of Flávio as pre-candidate in a letter and mentions ‘continuity’” (Politics, 12/25). Continuity of riots, uselessness, ignorance, work for the family, lack of concept, lack of projects for the country, manipulation of the beliefs of others.
Jeanne Santos (Rio de Janeiro, RJ)
We are no longer a hereditary captaincy! The intention to leave as an “heir” someone who does not possess the leadership characteristics that allow him to continue what his father started is ridiculous.
Lucia Margarida C. Japp (Porto Belo, South Carolina)
The population’s interest is to have a candidate who wins against the left, but this family thinks of its own interests. May they soon be forgotten.
Aldo de Alcántara Machado (Juiz de Fora, MG)
With a false passport
“Silvinei Vasques, convicted of the coup plot, is arrested in Paraguay during an escape attempt” (Politics, 12/26). The federal police must investigate those who support and finance these escapes and escape attempts. They are not alone, there is a group that supports them.
Fernando Junior (São José do Rio Preto, SP)
We will not let these rats destroy our cheese (democracy)!
Aparecida Alves (São Bernardo do Campo, SP)
Coalition presidentialism
“Congress cancels half of Lula’s vetoes and changes the dynamic of governance” (Politics, 12/25). Overriding the veto means the evil signing and delay is Congress’s fault. We must now take advantage of these reversals in the elections to show who is really worthless.
Carlos Vieira Portela Filho (Rio de Janeiro, RJ)
Criminal abolitionists
“Is there already technology to end prisons? (Hélio Schwartsman, 12/25). There are technologies to end prisons. The problem is more cultural than the search for efficiency.
Alysson Santos de Castro (Goiania, GO)
It is clear that the problem does not lie in the prison model, but in the way in which the law is applied, which turns a blind eye to the accusations made against the promoters of organized crime: the small infiltrated links at the top, above all, of the judiciary, the deputy and the legislative branch.
Gil Carlos Dias (Belo Horizonte, MG)
While reading
“Leaving a boring book is a fundamental human right, says Pedro Bandeira” (Ilustrada, 12/26). I have to apply this interruption suggested by the author, it’s each bomb that I take until the end.
Caique Honorio (Macaé, RJ)
This does not denigrate the other books in Pedro Bandeira’s work, but I consider “A Droga da Obediência” the greatest of all, contributing to the formation of free thought in children and young people.
Aureo Busetto (Marilia, SP)
Recovery
“A detailed restoration reveals the historical secrets of the Júlio Prestes station, in SP” (Cotidiano, 12/26). Congratulations on your vision. Heritage conservation means preserving history and valuing ancestors. And therefore plan for the future.
Rosangela Sylvestrin (Farroupilha, RS)
Positive actions
“Do we still need racial quotas?” (Priscilla Bacalhau, 12/25). Excellent article, congratulations on your confidence. We will need quotas and other inclusive policies for a long time to come.
Alberto Soares (João Pessoa, PB)
