federal deputy Esio Neves (PSDB) he publicly admits that he dreams of returning to the Senate as a representative of the state of Minas Gerais, a position he held when he was at his political peak. Eight years after falling 3.5 million votes short of becoming President of the Republic, he hit bottom amid allegations of corruption and loss of prominence in his state, but now he’s rehearsing his comeback.
“Now I am a candidate for federal deputies (…). But I have to watch the picture develop, listen to colleagues from all over the state, so that I can make a final decision, maybe in June. [sobre qual cargo concorrer]”, he told the newspaper. Timefrom Belo Horizonte, in an interview this Thursday, 9.
The ambition is confirmed by the latest voter poll data published by DataTempo, an institute owned by the same portal. In it, Esio has 24.8% of the vote in the stimulated scenario against 11.6% for Cleitinho Azevedo (PSC); 5.7% for Sara Azevedo (PSOL); 4.8% from Marcelo Alvaro Antonio (Poland); 4.2% from Alexander Silveira (PSD); and 1.8% from Marcelo Haro (PP). The data was collected from 27 May to 1 June and the poll was registered with the Higher Electoral Court (TSE) under number MG-05705/2022.
Polls conducted in May by the Paraná Pesquisas and Real Time Big Data institutions also indicated the leadership of the toucan in the dispute for a seat in the Senate.
If the desire is confirmed, it will be the resumption of good political times after difficult years. Esio has experienced remarkable growth since entering politics in 1987 until the middle of the last decade. He was a federal deputy until 2002, when he was elected governor of Minas – and re-elected for a second term in 2006. During this period, he was the main political leader in the state of Minas Gerais, the second largest electoral college in the country.
In 2010, he ran for the Senate and won again, serving his term until 2019. In the meantime, he applied for the Palacio do Planalto in 2014 and was almost successful. She received almost 35 million votes in the first round and 51 million in the second – not enough to defeat Dilma Rousseff, who was re-elected with 51.6% of the vote in the most bitter election since the redemocratization.

“I leave the Congress every day at night and sometimes I walk there in front of the ramp (from the Palacio do Planalto) and say: “We were close”. I did what I could, and I’m sorry, of course, personally, but I’m so sorry for the country. We would have the greatest government in the history of this country. Not for my merits, but for the fact that I understood what needed to be done, ”said the congressman in the same interview. Time.
The decadence began after the failure of the presidential elections. Neves didn’t take the defeat well, cast doubt on the polls, and pushed hard for Dilma’s impeachment two years later. In 2017, he lost the post of national president of the PSDB following the first exposure of Operation Lava-Jato, which involved his name, by Carlos Alexandre de Sousa Rocha, an associate of money changer Alberto Youssef.
Since then, he has also been mentioned in plea deals by former senator Delcidio do Amaral and businessmen Josley and Wesley Batista, businessmen from JBS. One Odebrecht executive even accused him of running a kickback scheme when he was governor. His sister Andrea Neves was arrested by federal police in May 2017 on suspicion that she had asked Josley for money on Esio’s behalf. On the same day, STF Minister Edson Fachin ordered the removal of the senator from his post.
Based on the allegations, the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) convicted Esio Neves of passive corruption and obstruction of justice. However, in October 2017, the Senate floor overturned the STF’s decision to remove the senator by a vote of 44 to 26.
Not to risk losing his privileged forum, Esio ran for federal deputy in 2018, when he was elected by 106,000 votes. He carried out his mandate cautiously, still under the weight of accusations from the public ministry. In March of this year, he was acquitted by a Sao Paulo court on charges of accepting a bribe of 2 million reais from JBS.
During the recession, Esio lost the political prominence he had in Minas Gerais. Romeu Zema (Novo), who was elected governor in 2018, and Alexander Kalil (PSD), who won the municipal elections in Belo Horizonte in 2016 and 2020, took on its leading role – and by extension, that of the PSDB. Zema and Today Kalil becomes the main candidate for the government of Minas Gerais.
Esio recently resumed a role as one of the strongest voices against the national candidacy of fellow believer João Doria in PSDB-led meetings in the midst of a Third Way Ticket Crisis. He also defended the PSDB ticket in Planalto, which currently seems difficult with the appointment of Tasso Gereissati as deputy to Simone Tebet (MDB). But, apparently, the miner did not stop dreaming big.

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).
