Politics and Ideology – Renaissance
Prime Minister A. Costa, in order to allay suspicions that may fall on him because of the scandal with personal data sent to the Russian embassy by the Lisbon Chamber (of which he was president), put forward an interesting argument: it was done. he said. A. Costa recalled the PREC – an ongoing revolutionary process – of 1975, when Mario Soares and PS clashed with communists and left-wing radicals who threatened Portugal with a left-wing dictatorship. And he said that his position was clear – along with Mario Soares and against the totalitarian attempt of the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP), which is closely associated with Moscow. At that time, the Soviet Union still existed.
Since then, the PCP has changed little. Although more than forty years have passed since the collapse of the USSR, it is difficult to find a Portuguese communist politician who would criticize the Soviet “gulag”. Or that Kim Jong-un’s regime in North Korea is considered undemocratic, possibly the most brutal and repressive dictatorship in the world. However, it was with the PCP, together with the Left Bloc (LB), also inspired by Marxism, but more open to freedoms than the PCP, that A. Costa invented the famous “trick”. There are no more “concerts” now, but Antonio Costa needs PCP support to stay ahead of the government; BE is gone.
However, the prime minister did not become an adherent of Soviet totalitarianism; he simply does not value the ideology of the communists. This is not the starting position. More and more politicians appear in Europe who, in order to stay in power, enter into an alliance with both the left and the right. This is the case, for example, with the Dutchman Mark Rutte or the Austrian Sebastian Kurz, who are heads of government. These are people for whom it is important to have power, and they are not interested in ideologies. And Israel has recently formed a government with both far-right and far-left parties.
This is an unhealthy trend as it forces citizens to withdraw from politics. In regional elections in France last Sunday, only a third of voters cast their ballots. And in Europe, the Portuguese are the people least interested in politics, according to a recent study that Rui Tavares mentioned in Público last Friday. We have more and more public space, and the media, of course, boil down to pandemic and football zigzags.

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.
For today on the calendar we will have an index of consumer confidence in the eurozone. Good luck and good luck in business!!

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).
