State elections show a clear trend towards continuity, says political scientist

Of the 20 governors seeking re-election this year, 12 have already reached their goal in the first round (60% of candidates), 6 are still going to run in the second round (30%), and only 2 did not pass and failed. no more chance of being re-elected (10%).

This is a record for first-round re-election in the states (the previous record was in 2010, when 10 governors were re-elected without running in a second round, according to the O Globo newspaper).

20 governors tried to be re-elected:

  • 12 have already passed in 1 round: AC, DF, GO, MA, MG, MT, PA, PR, RJ, RN, RR and TO
  • 6 in the 2nd round: AL, AM, ES, PB, RO and RS
  • 2 were defeated: SP and SC

Political scientist and Arko Advice analyst Carlos Borenstein says the gubernatorial election “shows very clearly a trend towards continuity in state contests.” In his opinion, “this trend can be explained by a number of factors”, but two stand out: the rejection of discourse against politics and the increase in government revenues.

“Return to normal life”

“The first [fator] is that the subversive elections we had in 2018 were very marked by a streak of victories – not only for Bolsonaro, who at the time held an anti-establishment narrative, but also for a number of governors who also followed that narrative,” he said. Borenstein.

The analysis was conducted during InfoMorning, a daily program InfoMoney which on Monday (3) focused on the results of the first round of elections (and its consequences). Watch the program in the video below.

“Now we have a change in this paradigm in 2022, a kind of return to normality,” the political scientist said. “The governors who won the elections in 2018 and are now running for re-election usually operate within traditional politics.”

Borenstein cited the example of Minas Gerais Governor Romeu Zema (Novo), who was re-elected in the first round with 56% of the valid votes. “Even Zema, in Minas, which at that time [2018] elected by speech against the traditional policy of renewal, he created a very strong arc of alliances.”

In addition, 3 other non-governor candidates were also elected in the first round but received the support of the current chief executive: Clecio Luis (Solidariadade) in Amapa, Elmano de Freitas (Portugal) in Ceara and Rafael Fonteles. (PT). ), in Piaui.

SP and SC are exceptions

The only candidates for re-election who are no longer running are the governors of Sao Paulo, Rodrigo Garcia (PSDB) and Santa Catarina, Carlos Moises (Republicans). In both cases, they were “victims” of the polarization between President and re-election candidate Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and former President Lula (PT).

Em Sao Paulo, incumbent governor and re-election candidate Rodrigo Garcia (PSDB) received 18.4% of the valid votes (4.3 million) and was beaten by Tarcisio Freitas (Republicans) who finished 1st with 42.3% (9.9 million) and Fernando Haddado. (PT), who had 35.7% (8.3 million). Tarcisio is a former infrastructure minister under Bolsonaro and Haddad, a former education minister under Lula, and a former mayor of São Paulo.

Em Saint CatherineGovernor and re-election candidate Carlos Moises (R-P), who was elected in 2018 on a wave of Bolsonaris with 71% of the valid votes, dropped out of the runoff with just 17,433 votes.

This year, Bolsonaro’s candidate in the state is Senator Jorginho Melu (PL), who received 38.6% of the vote (1.5 million) and won first place. Decio Lima (Portugal) was the second most voted with 17.4% (710k votes), slightly ahead of Moises who received 16.9% of the votes (693k).

6 governors in the 2nd round

The list of re-elected governors may increase even more because, in addition to the 12 governors who have already won, 6 more will fight in the second round on the 30th. (see controversy below, actors in bold).

  • Alagoas: Paulo Dantas (MDB) 46.6% x 26.8% Rodrigo Cunha (Brazil Union)
  • Amazonas: Wilson Lima (Union Brazil) 42.8% x 21% Eduardo Braga (MDB)
  • Holy Spirit: Renato Casagrande (PSB) 46.9% x 38.5% manat (PL)
  • Paraiba: Joao Azevedo (PSB) 39.6% x 23.9% Pedro Cunha Lima (PSDB)
  • Rio Grande do Sul: Onyx Lorenzoni (Poland) 37.5% x 26.8% Eduardo Leite (PSDB)
  • Rondonia: Colonel Marcos (Union of Brazil) 38.9% and 37% Marcos Rogerio (Poland)

All candidates for re-election, except Eduardo Leite (PSDB), in Rio Grande do Sul, finished the first round in the lead. Toucan is also the only one running for re-election without being in office, as he left the Piratini Palace in April to try to run for President of the Republic. But his party decided to support the candidacy of Simone Tebeta (MDB) in the race for the Palacio do Planalto.

The smallest advantage for second place was in Rondonia: Governor Coronel Marcos (União Brasil) received 38.9% of the valid vote, less than 2 percentage points ahead of Marcos Rogerio (PL) who had 37%.

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!!

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).
