🇧🇷🇧🇷 — 📹 Brazilian violence and crime: In the Brazilian state of Paraná, buses were set on fire in Londrina after protests spread across the city

➡️ The protests against the death of two young people in Londrina escalated in size. At least two buses were set on fire, and the Military Police (PM) had to enter residences to rescue elderly people and children on Ernesto Galvani dos Santos street, in the Monte Cristo neighborhood (East Zone).

➡️ According to information from a police officer, the vehicles were set on fire by protesters in the area, and when officers arrived, they noticed that the fire was spreading toward nearby houses. The police are investigating whether the attack was orchestrated by local criminals.

🇧🇷🇧🇷❌🤡 — Former President Jair Bolsonaro released a video inviting the public to a demonstration on March 16 in several cities across the country against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), stating, "Silas Malafaia, other leaders, and I will be in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro."

➡️ According to Bolsonaro, the agenda will focus on "freedom of expression, security, cost of living, 'Fora Lula 2026,' and amnesty now." Recently, Malafaia stated that he opposes Lula's impeachment and argued that the March 16 demonstrations should focus on amnesty for those convicted in connection with the events of January 8.

➡️ Bolsonaro urged those attending in other cities to "find out what the agenda is and who is organizing the movement." The call for demonstrations comes as Brazil’s Prosecutor General’s Office (PGR) is expected to file charges against Bolsonaro in the coming days for an alleged attempted coup, alongside the recent decline in approval ratings for the Lula administration.

🇧🇷💬💥🌐 — Diplomatic crisis: Brazil’s possible accession to OPEC+ (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Allies) has caused divisions within the government. While the Ministry of Mines and Energy, led by Alexandre Silveira (PSD), advocates for immediate entry, the Itamaraty (Foreign Ministry) wants to postpone the decision until 2026, citing concerns about the country's environmental image

❗️ The main concern of Brazilian diplomacy is that joining the oil cartel could undermine Brazil’s position as a leader in the energy transition, especially ahead of COP30, which will be held in November 2025 in Belém (PA).

⁉️ On the other hand, Silveira argues that joining OPEC+ would allow Brazil to influence the group toward adopting more sustainable practices, promoting biofuels as an alternative to oil. The minister also believes that accession would strengthen Brazil in trade negotiations, particularly in response to tariffs imposed by Donald Trump's administration on Brazilian products.

➡️ The invitation for Brazil to join OPEC+ was extended to President Lula (PT) during COP28 in November 2023. The proposal generated strong reactions and shifted focus away from Brazil’s environmental agenda at the event, displeasing several European leaders. To formalize accession, all that is required is approval from the presidential office, but Itamaraty fears that this decision could harm Brazil politically on the international stage at a time when it seeks to solidify its leadership in environmental matters.

🇧🇷⚖️💬🤡 — The lawyer for famous politicians, Antônio Carlos de Almeida Castro, known as Kakay, published a letter on social media praising President Lula's (PT) trajectory, stating that the leftist leader was essential in defeating former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), but has ended up "isolated" in his third term. He also reiterated the government's claim that Bolsonaro will be arrested in September

⭐ According to Kakay, Lula is unable to govern as he did in his first two terms due to having formed an "overly broad alliance" in 2022 against Bolsonaro. The lawyer sees Finance Minister Fernando Haddad as Lula’s potential replacement.

"The Lula of the third term, due to various circumstances—both political and especially personal—is a different one. He no longer engages in politics. He is isolated. Captured. He doesn’t have people around him with the ability to tell him what he needs to hear. He no longer meets with his old political allies and has lost his greatest asset: his unparalleled ability to charm, listen, and read the political landscape."

🇧🇷 In another passage, Kakay states that Bolsonaro only lost the election "because he was inept." He also predicts that the former president will be arrested later this year, specifying September. The same forecast was made late last month by then-Secretary of Social Communication Minister Paulo Pimenta.

"With the far right growing worldwide and, of course, here in Brazil, the situation is very concerning. Without the Lula we once knew as president and without the strong political group he once had, we risk what once seemed impossible: losing the 2026 elections. Bolsonaro only lost because he was inept. Had he listened to Ciro Nogueira (then-Chief of Staff) and gotten vaccinated, or simply kept quiet without offending people, he would have won with the amount of money he spent. Losing a reelection is very difficult, but Lula is trying very hard to lose. And don’t doubt him—he’ll succeed!"

🇧🇷🤡❌❌👤 — Attorney Luiz Carlos da Rocha, known as Rochinha, who was part of Lula's defense team during the former president's imprisonment in Curitiba, stated that banning the social network 𝕏 in Brazil will be inevitable.

"The ban on 𝕏 will be inevitable as its interference in the Brazilian electoral process intensifies—and it will intensify! The [Superior Electoral Court] TSE must not tolerate foreign interference in our election for even a moment."

💥 Over the weekend, Elon Musk shared old photos of protests from Dilma Rousseff's impeachment in 2016, suggesting that the Brazilian population should do the same to demand Lula's impeachment, amid a mobilization planned for March 16.

🇺🇸🇨🇺⛓ — 🇻🇪 The number of illegal Venezuelan immigrants detained in Guantanamo has already surpassed 150. Since the Donald Trump administration turned the naval base into a migrant detention center, 12 military flights have transferred them to the island.

🇺🇸💬🇧🇷🇨🇳🔫🕊🗺 — "France has proposed a European deployment that would remain well behind the front lines, reassuring Ukraine without necessarily committing itself to join any future fight. American officials are suggesting a different sort of peacekeeping force, including non-European countries such as Brazil or China, that would sit along an eventual ceasefire line as a sort of buffer."

🇨🇱❗️🇻🇪🇻🇪 — The prosecutor's office identifies the "Butcher of Maduro" as key in the murder of Ojeda: Venezuelan Colonel Alexander Granko Arteaga allegedly led the kidnapping and execution of the former lieutenant in Chile.

☠️ The murder of Venezuelan Lieutenant Ronald Ojeda, who was kidnapped and killed in the Independencia district, has escalated the diplomatic crisis between Venezuela and Chile, with serious accusations implicating Chavismo’s number two, Diosdado Cabello.

🎖 The active colonel and current head of the Directorate of Special Actions (DAE) of the DGCIM was decorated by the Chavista regime despite opposition denunciations of his involvement in torture, cruel treatment, and human rights violations against political detainees in Venezuela.

🚩 Alexander Granko Arteaga was part of Hugo Chávez’s Presidential Honor Guard and, for three years, served in the third security ring. At his request, he was assigned as a security officer for one of the former president’s daughters.

⚠️ Granko led the operation that resulted in the death of opposition pilot Óscar Pérez along with at least six others, an event widely condemned as the "El Junquito massacre."

🇧🇷🇧🇷 — The governor of the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro, Cláudio Castro, commented on the destruction of the police station in Duque de Caxias by traffickers attempting to free an ally and blamed the Penal Execution Law, commonly known as the "temporary prison release," for enabling the release of the mastermind behind the attack:

"Just look at this.
The terrorist thug who orchestrated yesterday’s attack on the police station in Duque de Caxias was granted the famous 'human rights' temporary release! On October 18, 2019, he was given this privilege and never returned. But mark my words: he will be back! One way or another!"
