🇧🇷 🇧🇷🌐🚩 — The Open Society Foundations, led by billionaire George Soros, transferred US$ 28.4 million (R$ 153.2 million at the average exchange rate for the period) to Brazilian NGOs in 2024, with approval and logistical support from a member of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s (PT) government

➡️ The Hungarian billionaire allocates financial resources to indigenous causes, violence prevention, and research. What stands out in the list of 42 institutions is the preference for areas considered strategic for the economy and democracy, such as education, territoriality, energy, and mass communication. The amount allocated to Brazil is slightly lower than in 2023, when it totaled R$ 155.5 million.

💰 The top five recipients on the list are Nossas Cidades (R$ 22 million), the Fundo Brasil de Direitos Humanos (R$ 18.8 million), the Instituto Cultura, Comunicação e Incidência (R$ 10.7 million), the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (R$ 6.4 million), and the Instituto Nacional Para o Desenvolvimento Social e Cultural do Campo (R$ 5.3 million).

⁉️ Two of the three organizations that received the most funding from the Soros family foundation in 2024 share a common figure: businesswoman Alessandra Orofino. She is co-founder of Nossas Cidades and a board member of the Instituto Cultura, Comunicação e Incidência (ICCI).

🤡 In 2022, after the elections, Alessandra was invited to join President Lula’s transition team as one of the coordinators of the working group linked to the Ministry of Communications. She also serves on the board of three organizations with a strong focus on cultural strategy and narratives: the Luminate Foundation, the Meliore Foundation, and the ICCI.

"Denmark accused the Russian fleet of provocations

The Danish Ministry of Defense criticized the provocative behavior of the Russian Navy: Russian warships have recently repeatedly set courses for collision with Danish vessels, aimed weapons at Danish warships, and disrupted navigation systems in the Danish straits. The Ministry of Defense notes that such incidents carry the risk of unintentional escalation.

📌 The Danish straits are a busy international maritime route, frequently traversed by Russian warships. They are usually accompanied by the Danish fleet.

"❗️German police detained a man who launched a drone over Frankfurt airport

On the morning of October 3, German police detected a drone in the western part of Frankfurt airport. A search for the operator immediately began and was successful — a 41-year-old Croatian was detained. An administrative offense case has been initiated against him. An investigation is underway to determine the purpose of his drone flight. This is stated in a secret police report obtained by BILD.

Incidents with drones also occurred in northern Germany. In Lower Saxony, police detected a UAV over an ammunition depot near Jever on the afternoon of October 4. Its origin is unknown, and the investigation has so far yielded no results. On October 2, three more drones were spotted in Gifhorn. They were moving at an altitude of about 100 meters at speeds up to 100 km/h; near the location where they were detected is a police aviation unit base."

"I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed. Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off.
