The PT denounces Javier Milei before the Electoral Justice of Brazil for "undue external interference"
Deputies of the Workers' Party, together with the Green Party and the PCdoB, formalized a presentation to the Electoral Attorney General's Office to determine if the participation of the Argentine president in the convention that proclaimed Flávio Bolsonaro as a candidate constituted an undue interference in the Brazilian electoral process. The file points, above all, to a question: who paid for the trip.

The diplomatic crisis between Argentina and Brazil, unleashed by President Javier Milei's insults against his counterpart Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, took a leap in scale on Monday: it ceased to be an exclusively political conflict to become a judicial case. Deputies from the Workers' Party (PT), the space led by Lula, formalized a complaint with the Electoral Attorney General's Office of Brazil, accompanied by their allies from the Green Party (PV) and the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB), grouped in the Brazilian Federation of Hope.
The objective of the presentation is for the electoral justice to determine if Milei's presence at the National Convention of the Liberal Party (PL), where the presidential candidacy of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro was made official on Saturday, constituted a case of "undue external interference" in the face of the October 4 elections. The ruling coalition clarified that its claim does not advance "any conclusion about irregularities," but seeks to clarify whether the visit affected sovereignty, the equality of conditions between the candidates and the normality of the electoral process.

"Milei's presence at the party event did not constitute an isolated episode or a merely accessory participation." — Complaint filed by the PT with the Electoral Attorney General's Office of Brazil |
⚖️ The complaint: what the PT is asking for and to whom
The brief, filed with the Electoral Public Prosecutor's Office through the Electoral Attorney General's Office, requests an investigation into the event organized by the Liberal Party — led by Valdemar Costa Neto and Flávio Bolsonaro — with the institutional participation of the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas. The PT lawyers ask to reconstruct the legal nature of Milei's visit and determine if there was coordination between Brazilian officials, foreign authorities and the PL to set up the agenda.
The document also questions the previous ceremony in which De Freitas decorated Milei with the Order of Ipiranga, the highest distinction of the São Paulo state, hours before the Argentine president took the stage of the party convention. For the signatories, using an official act as a prelude to a campaign launch could violate the principles of impersonality and morality that govern the Brazilian public administration.
🎤 The origin: 25 minutes of insults at the Pacaembú stadium
The conflict began on Saturday, when Milei led a speech of about 25 minutes before Bolsonarist militants gathered at the Pacaembú stadium in São Paulo. Without ever mentioning him by his first name, the Argentine president referred to Lula da Silva as "the lefty," "the thief" and "the convict," and warned of an alleged "Lula risk" for the Brazilian economy. He also took aim at Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes — whom he called "bald trash" — after the magistrate restricted a visit to Jair Bolsonaro, sentenced to 27 years of house arrest for the 2023 coup attempt.
According to the Argentine press, Milei was accompanied on stage by Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno and the Argentine consul in São Paulo, Luis Kreckler, whose institutional presence at a party event was objected to by Brazilian diplomacy. Asked by journalists about Milei's statements, Lula opted for irony and avoided answering in the same tone.
🛂 Diplomatic escalation: Itamaraty recalls its ambassador for consultations
The institutional repudiation did not take long to arrive. Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Itamaraty) recalled its ambassador in Buenos Aires, Julio Bitelli, for consultations, a diplomatic gesture reserved to express deep displeasure between states. Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira also received the Argentine ambassador in Brasilia, Daniel Raimondi, to convey his government's rejection and demand explanations.
Itamaraty described what happened as a situation without precedent in more than two centuries of bilateral ties, as it was a foreign head of state who, in Brazilian territory, accumulated grievances against the president, the Judiciary and the people of that country. Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin described what happened as a rude interference in internal affairs, while Finance Minister Dario Durigan responded with a personal disqualification against Milei.

💰 The key question: who paid for the trip?
Beyond the scandal over the insults, the legal heart of the PT's complaint points to financing. The document demands to determine who paid for the international transfer, lodging, security and logistics of the Argentine delegation: whether it was their own funds, those of the Argentine State, the Liberal Party or third parties. The lawyers argue that this information will make it possible to verify the regularity of the trip in the face of Brazilian electoral legislation, which restricts the external financing of party activities.
Consulted by Argentine media, the Casa Rosada responded that it was an "official trip" paid entirely by the Argentine State, and compared it to Lula's visit to Buenos Aires in July 2025. That comparison generated doubts among analysts, since that trip of the Brazilian president was framed in a Mercosur summit and did not have as its central objective a party act, unlike the operation that took Milei to Pacaembú.
● Items under the magnifying glass: expenses for flights, lodging, security and internal transfers of the Argentine presidential entourage.
● Use of provincial resources: whether the State of São Paulo provided an administrative or patrimonial structure to promote a campaign event.
● Institutional coordination: if there was coordination between the Palace of the Bandeirantes, the Liberal Party and the Argentine delegation.
📜 The legal framework: what the Brazilian electoral justice system can investigate
Brazil's electoral law expressly prohibits the participation of foreign agents in the financing or organization of internal political campaigns, under the argument of protecting the sovereignty of the democratic process. If the Electoral Attorney General's Office detects irregularities in the financing of Milei's trip, the PT brief states that international legal cooperation mechanisms could be resorted to, always within diplomatic norms and treaties in force between the two countries.
Specialists consulted by the press point out that the PT's legal strategy is indirect: by not being able to directly denounce a foreign head of state, the document points to the governorship of São Paulo, the Liberal Party and Bolsonaro's candidacy, actors who are subject to Brazilian electoral jurisdiction and who could be forced to declare the origin of the funds.
🌎 Background: This is not the first time that Milei has broken into someone else's campaign
The episode of São Paulo is not unprecedented in the history of the Argentine president. Milei had already starred in a similar diplomatic crisis with Spain, after traveling twice to Madrid to participate in campaign events in support of Vox candidates, which led to the withdrawal of the Spanish ambassador in Buenos Aires and an exchange of accusations with President Pedro Sánchez. The pattern of getting involved in electoral contests in neighboring countries and ideological allies is now repeated in Brazil, in a context where Milei seeks to position himself as a regional benchmark for the right.
🔮 What can happen now
● Admission of the complaint: the Electoral Attorney General's Office may open an investigation ex officio or reject the presentation for lack of elements.
● Possible summonses: the authorities could summon Tarcísio de Freitas, the Liberal Party and officials of the Argentine delegation to testify.
● Open diplomatic channel: Bitelli and Vieira have already held a first bilateral evaluation meeting and plan to continue the dialogue when the foreign minister returns from Lima.
● No formal rupture, for now: for now, Brasilia rules out tougher measures such as the rupture of relations, although it did not resign itself to leaving the episode unanswered.
|
🧭 In context: the agenda that follows While the case advances in Brazil, Milei maintained his international agenda: he received the managing director of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva, and traveled to Lima to participate in the presidential inauguration of Keiko Fujimori. Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno did not make additional public statements on the state of the bilateral relationship after the PT's complaint. |
🔎 Conclusion: a crisis that is no longer just diplomatic
What began as a series of personal grievances by Javier Milei towards Lula da Silva escalated, in less than a week, to a call for consultations from the Brazilian ambassador and, now, to a case before the Brazilian Electoral Justice. The judicial outcome is uncertain, but the case has already left a political mark: it put the financing of presidential trips under the magnifying glass, reopened the debate on the limits of foreign interference in electoral processes and deepened the distance between two governments that also make up the same regional trade bloc.

An atmosphere in LHS 1140 b: the super-Earth that reignites the search for life beyond the Solar System is confirmed
A Harvard-led team detected helium escaping from this rocky world in the habitable zone of a red dwarf 49 light-years away, the first firm indication of a persistent atmosphere on such a planet.

An international team of astronomers led by Harvard University confirmed the presence of an atmosphere on LHS 1140 b, a rocky super-Earth orbiting within the habitable zone of a red dwarf located about 49 light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Cetus. The finding, published on July 16 in the journal Science, is based on the detection of helium escaping from the upper layers of the planet, a signal that, according to the authors themselves, opens more questions than it closes, but which constitutes the strongest evidence to date that a rocky world in the habitable zone can conserve air after billions of years.

🔭 The finding: how helium was detected
The team, led by astronomer Collin Cherubim, used the WINERED (Warm Infrared Echelle Spectrograph to Realize Extreme Dispersion) spectrograph, installed on the 6.5-meter Magellan Clay telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. In September 2024, a rare alignment took place that allowed the transit of LHS 1140 b and the other rocky planet in the system, LHS 1140 c, to be observed in front of its star on the same night.
During the transit of LHS 1140 b, the spectrum showed clear helium absorption at high altitude, above the planet's solid radius; in the transit of LHS 1140 c, on the other hand, no equivalent signal was observed. The researchers interpret that difference as evidence that helium is actively escaping from LHS 1140b's upper atmosphere, heated by its star's extreme X-ray and ultraviolet radiation.
"My model predicted that helium was going to escape, and in large quantities." — Collin Cherubim, Harvard University
🌡️ A temperate world, but not confirmed as habitable
LHS 1140 b has a mass 5.6 times that of Earth and a radius 1.73 times greater, figures compatible with a rocky composition similar to that of Earth combined with a layer of low density, either a substantial atmosphere or a high proportion of water. Its equilibrium temperature of 226 kelvin (about −47 °C) puts it within the so-called liquid water zone, although that does not automatically imply that there are oceans on its surface.
The host star, LHS 1140, is an unusually quiet red dwarf for its kind, more than 3 billion years old and with low magnetic activity. That stellar calm could explain, according to the researchers, why the planet has managed to retain atmospheric gases for so long, instead of losing them completely as has happened with other rocky worlds observed in habitable zones of more active stars.
"We now know that at least one of them has managed to conserve an atmosphere." — Robin Wordsworth, professor at Harvard University
⚖️ What the study does not yet confirm
The authors themselves insist on qualifying the scope of the finding. The helium signal was clearly detected in the 2024 observations, but did not reappear in a second campaign conducted in 2025, which the researchers interpret as evidence of a time-varying gas leak, rather than a measurement error.
That variability leaves open a central question for the team: whether LHS 1140 b is actually a virtually bare rock that occasionally releases bursts of gas that escape immediately, or whether it maintains a stable atmosphere that, as on Earth, continuously loses and replenishes gases.
"Is it a bare rock that sometimes belches gas, or is there a stable atmosphere that renews itself?" — Jason Dittmann, University of Florida
At the moment, the exact composition of the lower atmosphere remains unknown. Previous studies with the James Webb Space Telescope had already ruled out a dense envelope of hydrogen around LHS 1140 b, leaving as the most likely hypothesis a thin atmosphere dominated by nitrogen or carbon dioxide, with inconclusive indications of water vapor.
🧭 LHS 1140 c and the concept of "cosmic coast"
The LHS 1140 system is also home to LHS 1140 c, a smaller planet much closer to the star, with an orbital period of just 3.78 days and a stellar irradiation about five times greater than that received by Earth. No sign of escaping helium was detected on this planet, suggesting that it lacks a comparable atmosphere.
The authors frame this contrast within the concept of the "cosmic shoreline": a theoretical boundary that would separate planets capable of retaining atmosphere for billions of years from those that lose it rapidly due to stellar radiation and stellar wind. LHS 1140 b and LHS 1140 c, despite orbiting the same star, would appear to be located on opposite sides of that boundary.
🔬 What's Next: The Role of the James Webb Telescope
The next step, according to the team, will depend on additional observations with the James Webb Space Telescope over the next four to five years, aimed at looking for the spectral signature of water in the planet's atmosphere. If those molecules appear consistently, the researchers believe it would be a strong indication that LHS 1140 b supports a stable and long-lasting atmosphere, and not a transient phenomenon.
"If there's water in the atmosphere, it's probably a stable atmosphere that's going to persist." — Jason Dittmann, University of Florida
🌊 A candidate for ocean world? A hypothesis to be confirmed
The idea that LHS 1140 b could host a temperate global ocean, covered by a layer of ice or directly exposed under a thick atmosphere, has been circulating for years among exoplanet specialists, supported by its density and its position within the habitable zone. However, both Cherubim's team and external specialists consulted by the journal Science stress that the current finding confirms the existence of gas in the upper atmosphere, not the presence of liquid water or habitable conditions on the surface.
Independent astronomers, such as René Doyon, from the University of Montreal, described the result as extraordinary if confirmed, although they stressed that it is a first step in a verification process that will still take years. In this sense, cataloging LHS 1140 b as "the most solid candidate" for ocean world reflects the legitimate enthusiasm of the scientific community, but it should be read as a working hypothesis and not as a confirmed fact.
🔎 Why this finding matters
Methodologically, this is the first case in which an atmosphere around a rocky planet in the habitable zone of another star has been clearly documented, among the more than 6,000 exoplanets catalogued so far. For years, whenever astronomers located a rocky world in the habitable zone, subsequent observations ended up revealing bare surfaces, with no trace of air. LHS 1140 b breaks, for now, that pattern.
