🇧🇷 Brazil's Attorney General, Jorge Messias, stated that he will file a public civil lawsuit against the platform to seek "immediate accountability and the removal of its use by Brazilian society."
🤡 President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) emphasized that freedom of expression cannot be confused with criminal acts, especially crimes against children, and stated that he will seek to block the platform throughout the country.

🇬🇷🤝🇨🇾🇫🇷 — An agreement was signed yesterday, in the presence of Prime Minister K. Mitsotakis, for the entry of the French investment group Meridiam as a majority shareholder in the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI) company established for the electrical interconnection between Greece and Cyprus.
➡️ This is a positive development, as it significantly increases the French interests associated with the successful completion of the project: Meridiam joins Nexans, which supplies the cable - and it is no coincidence that a strategic agreement was signed at the same time between IPTO, GSI and Nexans to accelerate the implementation of the project.
➡️ However, it should be noted that, regardless of this specific positive development, the core of the strategic problem regarding GSI remains the handling of Turkish reactions "on the ground", about which we have previously written that Greece cannot depend on allies ("if you don't have nails to scratch, don't expect them to scratch you").
📝 From this perspective, it is interesting that Maximos's relevant announcement describes "the completion of seabed surveys as a top priority."

🇨🇴🌹🗳 — Legally speaking, Gustavo Francisco Petro Urrego, former leader of 19th of April Movement Terror Organization and the first President of Colombia that was openly Leftist and Pro-Palestine, is no longer President of Colombia after serving 4 years in Office, amidst all kinds of controversies, including extra-marrital affairs with Transgender activists to failed cocaine legalization attempts
📆 Today, 7 August 2026, he is set to transfer power for his successor, the President-elect of Colombia Abelardo de la Espriella, leader of the Defenders of the Homeland, which is set to be inaugurated today, with the presence of most of South American leaders and Israeli officials, despite Petro's pledge to not recognize the new government and under the threat of all-out insurgency by Colombia's far-left groups exploding again
🔥 Nevertheless, South America now wakes up with one less openly sociopathic leader in power and with a real chance of an old civil conflict erupting.
