“We talked about the political landscape in general (…) This is what will happen if everything goes well in 2023,” he said.
When asked if the request of the President of the Republic, made about a week ago, to representatives of the private sector to compete for stronger political players, who repeat them at the moment of elections, was perceived as criticism of his leadership, Rio said that he did not understand this. what a way.
“I have not seen this, but you must ask the President of the Republic. I admit that this is so, I interpret that The President of the Republic intends – not that he told me there – that employers’ associations are more interventionist in defending their interests, ” stated.
“In my opinion, there is no shortage of opposition to the Government. As for the social partners, the President of the Republic may wish to be more competitive. ”
With regard to political parties, he defended, they can sometimes even be considered “too harsh when they constantly say bad things.”
“In my opinion, there is no shortage of opposition to the government. As for the social partners, the president of the republic may wish to be more competitive, ”he said.stating that he had not heard “any analysis” in the meeting for about an hour, that he might have been offended by Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
“The government never listened to us, I even heard the Prime Minister say that the SDP has no ideas. This makes me think that he did not read them or did not call at all. “

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).
