Roots of Radicalization in Political Debates

Throughout the history of Brazil, we have come a long way towards the strengthening of national identity and with it the realization of interdependence, which should unite us in building our destiny.

These postulates emphasize a fundamental aspect of any civilized society: the preservation of coexistence. All existing rules are aimed at maintaining peaceful relations between people, environmental sustainability, overcoming social inequality, seeking justice and social harmony. There is a strong sense of utopia, which, as filmmaker Fernando Birri taught, “Utopia is on the horizon. I go two steps, she takes two steps. I walk ten paces and the horizon runs ten paces. How much I go, I will never reach. What is a utopia for? That’s what it’s for: so I don’t stop walking.”

Ethics, Inclusion and Diversity

Living in society implies the recognition and the need to preserve our relationships, the constant promotion of ethics, inclusiveness, diversity, positions that have recently been valued in the corporate environment, with the adoption of ESG metrics that unite companies, and finally, the protection of human rights.

However, actions aimed at strengthening coexistence are under threat. Political debate is witnessing a radicalization that distances understanding, opposing opinions are virulently attacked without reference to argumentation, and a culture of abolition is proliferating. The opposite is not an adversary, but an enemy.

Historical roots of radicalization

This environment is deeply rooted in our history. The disrespect for rights is widespread, sponsored by government officials and supported by a part of society, which is becoming increasingly suspicious, according to a global survey conducted by the Ipsos Institute.

A study published by the journal Veja shows that when asked “Do you trust others?” is 22,500 people in thirty countries, Brazil is in last place.

Corruption scandals, a sense of impunity that poisons the whole society, deep inequalities and, of course, difficulties in enforcing the most basic consumer rights are clearly harming our coexistence. Yes, our past and what we live in the present is not encouraging, but they can serve as fuel to change the future.

Utopia and dialogue

Remembering that our mutual dependence is a reality that must mean union, and that it is possible to overcome our countless difficulties through dialogue, tolerance, without submission. This way we can ask questions and find ways. Utopia? Perhaps, but as Birri taught, this must be our way.

Edson Luis Vismona is President of the Brazilian Institute for the Ethics of Competition (ETCO).

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).
