We cannot allow Lula to become another Maduro. We must take action starting TODAY.
🇧🇷 Flávio Bolsonaro WAS ORDERED to surrender his passport a day after losing to Lula
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued the order, delivered by police as Flávio left his father’s home.
The judge cited fears he might flee, partly based on a comment by his brother Eduardo.
Flávio denies saying it and calls the move intimidation.
After losing an election, he now faces a passport seizure ordered by the same judge who jailed his father.
WTF is happening in Brazil?!?!
Writer: Lucas
I call out what’s happening in Brazil exactly as I would if it were happening in Argentina. I don’t take orders from anyone and I don’t wait for permission to speak. If there was FRAUD, it MUST be STATED. Looking the other way is cowardice.
I despise cowards.
Perhaps it’s time to start supporting this movement.
What do you say? 🇧🇷
COMITÊ “SUL LIVRE”
Outros deputados do Sul que queiram participar da mobilização pela redefinição da relação da nossa região com a Federação: entrem em contato.
Está na hora de nos juntarmos.
Chega de sermos EXPLORADOS economicamente, tributariamente e politicamente.
Toda grande mudança começa com um sonho distante. Muitos dirão que é impossível… mas só será impossível se não tentarmos.
MERCOSUR’s Common External Tariff (CET) and Argentina 🇦🇷
MERCOSUR (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay) is a customs union. Members must apply the same external tariff on most imports from outside the bloc. The average CET is roughly 10–12% 👎
The CET keeps Argentina behind a protectionist wall. Leaving would allow Argentina to open unilaterally, cut costs, and pursue independent trade deals—the freer-trade path several economists argue is better for long-term growth.
🩸 How it hurts Argentina
- Imports become more expensive: Capital goods, intermediate inputs, machinery, and many consumer products from outside the bloc face high tariffs. This raises production costs for Argentine industry and makes everyday goods costlier for consumers.
- Less competitive exports: Higher input costs reduce the competitiveness of Argentine products abroad. Companies pay more for parts and equipment than competitors in freer-trade countries.
- Policy handcuffs: Argentina cannot unilaterally lower tariffs below the CET (except for a limited list of national exceptions). Even under a pro-trade government, the common tariff blocks deeper liberalization.
- Limited flexibility: Temporary reductions require MERCOSUR approval and are restricted. The system favors protection over openness.
🚀 What leaving MERCOSUR would mean
Argentina would regain full control of its trade policy. It could:
- Set its own (much lower) tariffs on imports from anywhere in the world.
- Negotiate bilateral free-trade agreements freely (with the US, EU, others) without needing bloc consensus.
- Import cheaper inputs and goods, lowering costs for businesses and consumers.
- Compete more effectively in global markets by reducing the cost of production.
Main trade-off: Preferential access to Brazil (Argentina’s largest regional partner) would be lost or renegotiated. Sectors highly dependent on the Brazilian market (especially autos and parts) would face adjustment costs. Most other trade could be reoriented toward freer markets.
This is a direct consequence of these criminals retaining power: using the money of the Brazilian people to help carry out fraud in other countries in the region. Not in our watch.
🇧🇷 If the fraud succeeds, Brazil will pay a heavy price. My thoughts are with the Brazilians who opposed it—but Argentina and the U.S. will not watch as the region’s largest economy slides into dictatorship. Those days are over.
🇪🇸 Pedro Sánchez has just admitted that he will commit fraud.
¡Gran victoria de @LulaOficial!
Lo que ha pasado en Brasil, pasará en España.
La remontada del progresismo global acaba de comenzar.
