247 – Activist Rodrigo Pilha, who was arrested more than three months ago after protesting against genocide orchestrated by Jair Bolsonaro and remains in prison despite a court ruling recognizing his transition to an open regime, went on strike on Friday. Read below Pilha’s letter in which he protests against arbitration:

Brasilia, 9 July 2021

Dear family and friends,

After thinking for a long time about the last morning of the prison, I decided that from today I will start a hunger strike with no end date.

Given that the judiciary still forbids me from speaking, giving interviews and now holding me in prison, even though I won the right to open regime, I decided to use my body and peaceful resistance to protest against these and various others. absurdities that subsequent cases occur in the DF penitentiary system due to police and judicial authoritarianism.

My hunger strike is much more than a reluctance to eat the laundry they call the food they deliver to prisoners in this modern concentration camp called Sarai, my hunger strike is aimed at denouncing and drawing public attention to bad contracts, terrible conditions of serving sentences and all manner of human rights violations that continue to occur in the DF penitentiary system under the blind eye of the judiciary, who frequently wash their hands, dry the cloth, and ultimately collude with such atrocities.

Threats of punishment and aggression, name-calling and cruel treatment by the criminal police officers continue to take place, and interrogation of inmates WITHOUT the presence of protection (a fact that only happened to me three times) is a common practice.

Cameras and wings are overcrowded, people sleep on top of each other and even on a dirty floor among cockroaches and scorpions.

The bathroom is more like a pigsty, and the sunbathing lasts only half an hour.

Excessive punishment, and for trivial reasons, with the simple intent of causing a regression of prisoner crime, ultimately transforms psychological torture by the state into everyday life in prisons.

The Penitentiary Special Operations Office (DPOE) has been accused of unjustified beatings, maiming, and even being responsible for the death of prisoners following a procedure called “pulling out” or “pulling” prisoners.

Finally, I know the risks I am taking, but I am convinced that my hunger strike is what needs to be done now to shed light on the horror that exists in DF prisons, and I assure you that the problems of the prison system are much more radical and harmful to people’s lives than the position I take today as a form of protest.

With the above in mind, and since they are not allowing me to speak, I ask you to SPEAK FOR ME and circulate this condemnatory letter as much as possible so that as many people as possible are aware of the barbarism that prevails in the DF prison system today. …

“… they can arrest me, they can beat me, they can even leave me without food, because I have not changed my mind …”

With the protest verses of the samba composer “Voz do Morro”, Ze Keti, I say goodbye and thank everyone for all the support and affection received.

Strong hugs and hasta la Victoria siemper !!!

With love,

The dollar continues to reflect the political scenario

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).
