About Tinder, the most popular dating platform in the country, was used by some candidates in this election. And the point is not to find a new love, but to win more voters.

The idea, according to these candidates, is to take up more space and campaign without spending too many resources.

According to Uol, the TSE (Higher Electoral Court) allows the use of social media for campaigning as long as candidates don’t promote content, that is, as long as they don’t pay to appear more.

Conformity

Contesting for the third time a seat in the Chamber of Deputies for the Federal District, Rafael Sebba (PSOL) uses Tinder to post his candidacy.

“What do we do if we don’t have a secret budget? Come to Tinder for the campaign,” says the user presentation candidate.

According to Sebba, the idea of using the app came from conversations between people involved in his campaign.

“It’s a guerrilla tactic to take every possible place, including this side of flirting,” Rafael told Wall.

This year, Sebba’s party, PSOL, received 100 million reais from the electoral fund – public money earmarked for campaign finance – to be divided among more than 900 party candidates in accordance with TSE criteria and definitions. the party itself.

Rafael said that at the moment he received 120,000 reais from the party leadership.

Another candidate who has used the platform for the same purpose is federal MP seeking re-election Kim Katagiri (União-SP). However, the leader of the MBL (Movimento Brasil Livre) is already a veteran of these innovations. In 2018, he even campaigned in games like Pokemon Go.

“It’s great, thousands of gamers see my campaign every day and then get to know each other and start bouncing ideas and playing together,” he says.

Kim was already involved with the app before the campaign. In his profile, the politician even joked about his speech on the network: “Since I don’t get anyone here, at least I’m going to use it for campaigning,” he joked.

Kim’s party, União Brasil, received the largest share of the electoral fund this year: 782.5 million reais. The MP, however, says that he is against the use of public funds to finance election campaigns.

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.

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).
