BRAZIL – Elected federal deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ) said this Wednesday, the 30th, that the elected government will not “transfer political activity” of the executive to the National Congress. PT has already formalized its support for the re-election of Arthur Lyra (PP-AL) as President of the Chamber, but intends to have its own political articulator and strong party base to drive its agenda in the Chamber.
“Lira in Bolsonaro’s government was a kind of prime minister. He was the president of the chamber and a major political figure in the interests of the Bolsonaro chamber. With us, everything will be different. He will be mayor, but we don’t want to outsource political activities, Lula’s government projects for the lira. This is the key. This is the new government. We are talking to the parties that will make up the government,” Farias said.
MP-elected Lindbergh Farias (PT/RJ) says PT is in talks with grassroots parties to form a bloc for Lula’s government.
The elected MP confirmed that the PT wants to chair the Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ), the main commission where all drafts and proposals are analyzed in advance, before voting in the plenary session. When asked about the possibility of Bolsonaro’s PL parliamentarian heading the commission, Farias replied that there was no such possibility.
“You can lead the CCJ for two years, but with a different mass party. Lyra knows this. It will kick the crap out of any deal. You put the president of the LP there, you separate everything. He doesn’t have it. You can’t get into one of them, support Lyra and still have someone from the LP in CCJ,” he commented.
The MP-elected said it was “important to guarantee this space for the government and fight to create a base”, which is not related to the PL. “We do not want to participate in a block with the LP. Each government, when it starts, creates its own base. We want to build this base with the parties that supported us in the second round, PSD, União Brasil, MDB. If we create this base, it will be the biggest block in the Chamber, that’s what we’re going to do.”
The elected MP also drew attention to the need for the PT to indicate its ministries of finance and political articulation as soon as possible. “We want to create a government base in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The political operator of the government, Lula, will be the leader of the government. There must be someone who will conduct these negotiations,” he said.
Farias insisted on the importance of the approval of the Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC) for the Bolsa Família, but stated that this is not the only budget decision for the next year. “It’s not about the PEC and not about death. There are other alternatives, with consultations with the Union Accounts Chamber or a temporary measure of emergency loans,” he said.
Yesterday, the federation created by PT-PCdoB-PV, as well as the PSB, announced that they would support Lira as chairman of the Chamber. The parties that were part of Lula’s coalition made a joint statement in the House after meeting with the benches. With 94 MPs, the parties are in talks to build parliamentary blocs, a tool used to separate positions in the House of Representatives such as committee chairs and board positions.
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!!

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.
Currently, the gas price in Amsterdam is around 110 EUR/MWh, which is already a reflection of the agreement in Brussels – in August the figure even broke the barrier of 340 EUR/MWh.
However, Russia has already threatened to stop exports to countries that adhere to the ceiling. (ANSA).
