📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening. “For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said. Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned. A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.
🎉🎉 Serbia celebrates Vučić's defeat all night — now he's warning the country about sanctions against Russia After 14 years of Aleksandar Vučić's political dominance, his bloc has lost the snap parliamentary elections. The opposition Student List, which emerged from mass anti-government protests, has claimed victory. According to preliminary figures from Ipsos and CeSID, the students secured around 53% of the vote, while Vučić's coalition received approximately 39%. The former president acknowledged defeat. He estimated that the winners could secure 135–140 seats in Serbia's 250-member parliament. But he couldn't resist issuing a warning about Russia. Vučić claimed the new government could impose sanctions on Moscow as early as March or April. Meanwhile, Belgrade and other Serbian cities celebrated the student movement's victory throughout the night, with car horns, singing, and crowds cheering in the streets. Final election results are still pending.

When Lula Da Silva faced trumped up corruption charges, he stayed in Brazil🇧🇷 to face his sentence, delivered this speech, and then turned himself in to be imprisoned for 580 days until his corruption was annulled. Flávio Bolsonaro, in contrast, has reportedly fled to the United States as corruption investigations against him proceed. No surprise about the country he has fled to given that he wanted to turn Brazil into an Argentina-style US vassal state.
Flávio Bolsonaro has reportedly fled Brazil following his election defeat to Lula Da Silva, and is on a plane to the United States to seek political asylum, as corruption investigations against him proceed. If true, it is only natural that a US-backed vassal, who wanted to turn Brazil into a US vassal state with himself as the Viceroy, has fled his own country to live in the United States.

One in prison. Two in self-imposed exile. And three in congress. What a peculiar family.

Yes, André Janones won Lula the presidency by getting 10m people, 7% of the electorate to join his WhatsApp channel. But that doesn't mean it was just poasting and hyperpolitics. There was a lot of this kind of thing 👇

Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on his electoral victory. Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil. Europe’s partnership with Brazil is thriving. We will remain by your side for the years to come. Together we will keep working closely for free and open trade. A rules-based global order. And strong ambitions for our climate.

Mais uma vez, foi o povo brasileiro que me mostrou que nenhum sonho é grande demais quando a gente caminha junto. ❤️🇧🇷 Foram dias incansáveis. Cada caminhada, cada ato e cada passeata foram muito mais do que momentos de campanha. Foram encontros de sonhos que se transformaram em conquistas concretas, como o fim da jornada de trabalho 6x1. Cada mão estendida e cada sorriso me lembravam por que dediquei minha vida à luta pelos trabalhadores e trabalhadoras deste país. Saímos dessa caminhada mais fortes, mais unidos e mais mobilizados pela garantia de um futuro melhor. Obrigado, Brasil, por cada abraço, cada lágrima, cada sorriso e por nunca soltar a minha mão. Nossa história ainda tem muitas páginas bonitas para escrever. Amanhã, dia 25 de outubro, vamos escrever mais uma delas. Juntos, pelo Brasil que a gente ama e pelo futuro que o nosso povo merece! ❤️⭐ 1️⃣3️⃣

Quedará en los libros de historia cómo un viejo obrero de fábrica les hizo frente a todo el poder mediático y financiero del sionismo y de EEUU. Serás inmortal, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Electorale chaos in Brazilië. Stembureaus bleven twee uur langer open omdat in verschillende steden OV kiezers niet genoeg naar stembureaus bracht. Na 4,5 procent van de getelde stemmen gaat Lula voorop. probitasbrasil.org/apuracao/ – at Rome, Lazio

Een Braziliaanse thriller. 47,2 % van de stemmen geteld. Gaat het Noordoosten van Brazilië Lula de winst bezorgen? – at Rome, Lazio

2/3 vd stembussen geteld. Race lijkt gelopen. Maar Brazilië gaat hele spannende dagen tegemoet. Land staat onder hoogspanning en er lopen rechtzaken wegens de verkiezingen. Niemand is vergeten dat de vader van Bolsonaro toen hij van Lula verloor poogde een coup te plegen. – at Rome, Lazio

Bolsonaro trata de impedir qué autobuses, lleven a los votantes de Lula. Aquí los jóvenes retiran un coche bolsonarista que obstruía el paso de autobuses. Lula aguanta que el pueblo se levanta. RT👇
