Marcelo confirms that Passos Coelho is a "political asset" of the country

The President of the Republic confirmed this Friday that Pedro Passos Coelho is “a political asset for the future”, justifying that he is loudly saying what “many Portuguese are asking for”.

“I said to say the following, the country owes you because it really owes you what it did during the troika crisis and what is a political asset for the future. I have said this to many people, this is my opinion as President of the Portuguese Republic, say out loud what many Portuguese are asking for,” Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said this Friday in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto, on the sidelines of the assembly of magistrates.

Faced with a report in the weekly Expresso this Friday that the praise he made was not well received by the former prime minister, Marcelo Rebelo de Souza said he spoke as a president, not as a citizen.

“With regard to Dr. Passos Coelho, as with many other people in Portuguese life, I spoke as President of the Republic, and not as Marcelo Rebelo de Souza,” he insisted.

On October 15 in Amarante, Marcelo Rebelo de Souza felt that the country “still has a lot to look forward to from the contributions” of former Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho, as he noted his allegations of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.

“To be so young [Pedro Passos Coelho]the country can expect, should expect a lot from its contribution in the future, I have no doubt,” he told reporters, noting that the “resistance” of the ex-head of government during the Troika period is recognized inside and outside Portugal.

Statements by the President of the Republic were made on the sidelines of the ceremony marking the centenary of Agustin Bessa Luis, which was attended by the former Prime Minister.

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).
