Cyrus and the graveyard (political)

Ciro Gomes sometimes made several right and left criticisms of Lula (who, in fact, always negotiated and bowed to our bloody and ungrateful bourgeoisie), and also made many other unjust and reactionary ones. As a result of personal and pre-election opportunism, she has lately been oriented towards the latter and has been openly and openly right-wing, appealing to Oudinist and biased moralism. Thus, he became a late knight of posthumous Lavajatism and is directly responsible for the rise in intentions to vote for Bolsonaro.

Also, this year’s elections are not about Lula, but about Bolsonaro. Not understanding this, not understanding that the latter must be defeated as quickly as possible, is not understanding anything that has been happening in the country since 2016. Ciro has always been an impulsive general, and perhaps for some, he was an even more determined general than Lula. But the political struggle is not essentially a struggle of individuals. The notion that the national solution will consist in the selection of competent persons who, once at the head of the state, conceived as a neutral arbiter, will put into practice their brilliant ideas, is nothing but an ideology cultivated by the petty-bourgeois sections, is largely enlightened and competent in their professional lives. In this perspective, the masses of the people appear only as a vulgar being, tied to a “system of needs”, a kind of support, a passive base, from which true spirits seek to carry out good plans so that history can proceed rationally.

Heads of their Holy Families and successful in the realm of the market or social machine, endowed with meaning, our Kyrist “anti-polarization” progressives do not believe in any progress that their counterparts in the political realm have not made. . Once at the helm of the state, “ethical and prepared” politicians, using post-Keynesian guidelines, will solve tasks that collective subjects are not able to perform, as for the old French enlighteners, the reproduction of a stable and obsolete “old regime” could only be broken by the “external” action of the brave and prudent enlightened despots.

Unlike Lula, Ciro Gomez has always been a general without an army, a leader without the masses, a leader without a people. There are no social movements and collective historical experience behind this. His support is himself, he and his “enlightened conscience”. A political amateur with Bonapartist traits, Ciro Gomes is more and more himself, he and his political program, heteroclimatic, combining economic growth with austerity.

The socialist left must obviously support and at the same time criticize Lulu for his commitments, because it is he who can actually defeat Bolsonaro in elections, and it is he who, subsequently, in the government, may be required by his mass bases (in especially the most organized sectors) not to fall into the same mistakes and alliances that led to the conservative wave, the coup and Bolsonaro’s victory. Ciro Gomes, without organized bases, is becoming more and more just an adventurer, and now an adventurer, undoubtedly on the right. There is no reason to support. Even the controversial 2018 argument that he alone would beat Bolsonaro in the second round makes more sense.

Courage was replaced by assertiveness, and morality by cowardice. If this time he again declares himself neutral in the second round between moderate social democracy and genocidal neo-fascism, Paris will once again be a suitable destination, but not for the “anti-polarizing” escapism of cafes and the Sorbonne, but this time inevitably Père Lachaise.

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!!

The EU has reached a political agreement on limiting gas prices – 19.12.2022

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).
