Russiagate.  Luis Feliciano claims to have been the victim of a "pre-election political context."

Luis Feliciano, in charge of data protection (EPD) of the City of Lisbon (CML), rehabilitated after a scandal with data sent to the Russian embassy and government, finally broke his silence to say that he was fired because of the “Political and Election Campaign” and admitted that he refused to resign.

In a note sent to newspaper i as “a government official seeking transparency in his activities” and in order to preserve his “good name and reputation,” Feliciano explains that he took up the challenge “with a very diverse and varied approach. the complex reality of CML ”, which“ from the first moment ”signaled to decision-makers that his position as an EPD did not allow him to“ make decisions about data processing ”. Back in 2018, he claims to have hired an “outside company” to carry out the “diagnostic phase.” However, he explains, this did not signal the “processing of data on reports of demonstrations”, which led to their “ignorance” and, as a result, the impossibility of “control” over this issue. It was only on March 22, “after the complaint filed on March 18 by the data subjects,” that he became aware of this. There, as an EPD, he conducted a “due diligence” and on 18 April he sent an opinion to the support office of the President of the CML, in which “in addition to explaining the reasons for the data subjects”, he advised that the procedures for adapting them to the General Data Protection Regulation ( RGPD). Actions that even deserved, as he explains, public gratitude to Medina “for the first public intervention he made about this on June 10th.”

Feliciano also explains that, in addition to “public praise”, he also received “many other positive reviews” for disclosing the CML experience at conferences, which was confirmed by the expansion of the team’s mandate.

For these reasons, Feliciano “finds it obvious” that he does not justify his dismissal from the EPD position, citing what the data associations have done so far as “the norm.” [do RGPD] which prohibits the removal of EPDs for the timely performance of its functions. ” Thus, Feliciano explains the reasons for the incident with political problems: “This dismissal will only be understood in the current political and electoral context.” And he is confident that the ongoing investigations of the National Commission on Data Protection (CNPD) and the external audit of the CML will help him. Finally, Feliciano admits that he was asked to submit his resignation letter, which he rejected, he explains, due to “the feeling that thousands of EPDs will be concerned about this unprecedented outcome”, because of “respect for all workers involved in protecting human rights … data ”and“ work awareness ”.

Feliciano, who has worked at CML for 30 years, remained silent from the very beginning of the case and said in i that he would speak only after the CNPD statement. However, on July 1, the latter finally reported that after an investigation, he realized that the Lisbon municipality had violated the RGPD. A day later, Feliciano’s dismissal proposal, presented by Fernando Medina, was approved by votes in favor of PS and the PCP abstention, thus officially placing the blame on the team coordinated by Feliciano, whose mandate, remember, had been renewed about a month earlier. Then on July 2, Feliciano was removed from office by the EPD of the Lisbon City Council.

The Left Bloc came out in its defense at the time, stating that there was “a feeling that the Socialist Party wants to rehabilitate the only person who did something to prevent this case.” The very next day, the Association of Data Protection and Security Professionals also considered the justification “illegal” and “disastrous”, demanding Feliciano’s readmission as an EPD autarky and a fine on the CNPD Chamber. Finally, the CNPD itself, through Philip Calvao, its president, believed that “the responsibility for treatment can only be attributed to the municipality,” and not to Luis Feliciano. However, even the fact that all civilian authorities stood up for Luis Feliciano was not enough to keep him from being fired.

The Prosecutor General’s Office (PGR) also announced yesterday that the Prosecutor’s Office has launched an investigation to investigate the CML’s disclosure of protesters to Russian organizations. PGR also notes that the internal audit conducted by CML “joined it.”

The dollar continues to reflect the political scenario

Yesterday, financial agents evaluated the opposite decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) regarding the so-called secret budget. In addition, a decision was made by STF Minister Gilmar Méndez to issue an injunction that would exclude the Bolsa Família from the spending cap rule, with investors trying to understand how this measure would affect the processing of the transitional PEC in the Chamber of Deputies. Oh this PEC!!!!

Since he is an exchange investor, any reading that the budget will be exceeded or become more flexible will negatively affect the exchange market, whether through the PEC or in any other way. We will continue with volatility today.

Looking beyond, the US Central Bank (Fed), although slowing down the pace of monetary tightening at its December meeting, issued a tougher-than-expected statement warning that its fight against inflation was not yet over, raising fears that rising US interest rates will push the world’s largest economy into recession.

The currency market continues to react to political news. The voting on the PEC is saved for today. It is expected that it will indeed be reviewed to open the way tomorrow for discussions on the 2023 budget.

Yesterday, the spot price closed the selling day at R$5.3103.

For today on the calendar we will have an index of consumer confidence in the eurozone. Good luck and good luck in business!!

Germany sentenced Russian to life imprisonment for political murder by order of Moscow - 12/15/2021
BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 19 (ANSA). European Union countries reached a political agreement on Monday (19) to impose a natural gas price ceiling of 180 euros per megawatt hour (MWh). The main sources of income for Russia and the minimization of the use of energy as a weapon by the regime of Vladimir Putin.

The agreement was approved by a supermajority at a ministerial meeting of member states in Brussels, Belgium, after months of discussions about the best way to contain the rise in natural gas prices in the bloc caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. .

The value set by the countries is well below the proposal made by the European Commission, the EU’s executive body, in November: 275 EUR/MWh. However, the countries leading the cap campaign were in favor of an even lower limit, around 100 EUR/MWh.

Germany, always wary of price controls, voted in favor of 180 euros, while Austria and the Netherlands, also skeptical of the cap, abstained. Hungary, the most pro-Russian country in the EU, voted against.

The instrument will enter into force on 15 February, but only if natural gas prices on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange exceed 180 euros/MWh for three consecutive days. In addition, the difference compared to a number of global benchmarks should be more than 35 euros.

Italy, the EU’s biggest supporter of the ceiling, has claimed responsibility for the measure. “This is a victory for Italy, which believed and worked for us to reach this agreement,” Environment and Energy Minister Gilberto Picetto tweeted.

“This is a victory for Italian and European citizens who demand energy security,” he added.

However, Russia has already threatened to stop exports to countries that adhere to the ceiling. (ANSA).
