The lack of political representation affects 522 Brazilian cities.

A series of reports from the O Estado de S.Paulo newspaper provides a detailed overview that shows how a lack of political representation can be detrimental to a city. 522 municipalities were identified that cast their votes for federal government candidates who were not elected or do not belong to their region in 2018. In Santa Catarina, the largest concentration of cities without political representation is in Planalto Norte, a region formed by the cities of Canoinhas, Mafra, Porto Unian, Irineopolis, Monte Castelo, Papanduva, Itaiopolis, Mayor Vieira, Bela Vista do Toldo and Major Vieira.

The paper’s research reveals “deserts” of political representation, home to 13 million people. This phenomenon is common in all regions. However, the largest concentrations are in the southwest of Piauí, in the central part of Goiás, in the southwest of Bahia, in Bico do Papagayo – between Tocantins, Maranhao and Para – in the east and north of Mato. Grosso.

As a general rule, MPs and Senators tend to allocate more federal funds in proportion to the cities in which they get the most votes. According to JBut showed that since 2019, Canoignas has received BRL 4,196,804 in investment funds through the federal deputies who received the most votes in the municipality in the 2014 and 2018 elections. Part of this amount came from amendments signed in the previous term, since in fact there is a big delay between the signing of the deputy and the deposit of money into the account of the mayor’s office. For this reason, former federal deputy Desio Lima (PT), the current gubernatorial candidate, is the record holder. This value can be considered very small for four years, given the cities with representation in Congress.

The constitution and budget laws require that distributions meet socio-economic and non-selective criteria. Without criteria to ensure that the money goes to those who really need it, those with a representative make more money, and those without a representative, even if they need more help, are left behind.

On average, city halls without representatives in Congress have received 11.46 reais less per inhabitant since 2019 compared to other cities in the country that concentrated votes in elected deputies. For example, in a municipality with a population of 30,000, this would mean a difference of 330,000 reais, which is equivalent to an offer from the National Fund for the Development of Education (FNDE) to buy a rural school bus.

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).
