  • • Nos Últimos Dias, Jair Bolsonaro Intensificou a Distribuição De Material Pelo Whatsapp E Também a Presença Nas Redes Sociais
    • Nos últimos dias, Jair Bolsonaro intensificou a distribuição de material pelo WhatsApp e também a presença nas redes sociais. É o candidato que mais se mexe e conta com uma estrutura cada vez mais profissional. • Os irmãos Marinho cobraram de Luciano Huck uma decisão se ele sai ou não candidato. E flertam com o ministro do STF Luís Roberto Barroso. • O PPS quer Luciano Huck, mas sofre com a escassez de dinheiro e de tempo de TV. Seu plano B se chama Cristovam Buarque, que lançou seu nome para a presidência e propõe fazer do jornalista Ricardo Noblat candidato ao Senado por Brasília. Noblat gosta da ideia de herdar a cadeira de Cristovam e tem até abril para se filiar ao PPS. • No PSB, é enorme a expectativa pela filiação do ex-ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) Joaquim Barbosa, outro potencial candidato a presidente. Marina Silva está quieta demais. Seu partido, a Rede, não empolga, e sua saúde continua sendo um problema. Ciro Gomes (PDT) ainda não aconteceu, e Henrique Meirelles (PSD) tem mais potencial para vice do que para titular. • No PSDB, esfacelado por brigas internas, o principal nome é o do governador Geraldo Alckmin, até aqui um candidato pesado, como indicam as pesquisas. Aos 86 anos, Fernando Henrique Cardoso já dá sinais de que não acharia ruim se uma candidatura – por pura falta de opção e de preferência por aclamação – acabasse caindo no seu colo. Tanto Michel Temer quanto José Sarney anotaram essa impressão em conversas reservadas. • A candidatura de Lula tem como única proposta repetir o passado e começa a dar sinais de que pode se inviabilizar por fadiga de material.

  • Construction Companies Pressure for Credit and Low Interest Rate
    (http://globo.com) g1 (http://g1.globo.com) ge gshow (http://gshow.globo.com) famosos vídeos (http://globoplay.globo.com) Print () 12:00 AM (GMT ­03:00) – Jan 11 2017 Construction companies pressure for credit and low interest rate By Raymundo Costa and Andrea Jubé | Brasília Negotiations between construction companies involved in the Petrobras corruption scandal and the government about the Investment Partnerships Program (PPI) have stalled. Valor has learned that the companies started talks as if nothing had happened in the last two years, when the investigations of Operation Car Wash upended the industry’s relations with the government, and were sharply rebuked by PPI Secretary Moreira Franco. The companies made an extensive list of requests, but the main one is aimed at the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES). Shut out of bank loans, the companies want subsidized credit from the development bank. They also want to renegotiate contracts signed when Dilma Rousseff was still president, due to the recession's effects. The government responded by asking them to forfeit their concessions if they are unable to pay. Companies pretended they didn’t understand the initial message and redoubled efforts in the last few days, resorting to patriotic arguments – “Brazil is in crisis,” the “nation” must start investing again and other similar claims. During one such talk, Mr. Franco, who is also under investigation by Car Wash, responded by saying the companies apparently had not understood that Brazil changed and the usual practices of before have become unacceptable now. The construction companies even said they may not bid in the PPI auctions under current conditions.

The 57-year-old former union leader took over from President Fernando Henrique Cardoso in Brazil's first transition between two democratically elected presidents in over 40 years. "The time has come to tread a new path," Lula said in his inaugural address, adding that Brazil's progress had been stalled by the "economic, social, and moral impasse" of a system based on self-interest. "Yes, we are going to change things, with courage and care, humility and daring," he said. "I am not the result of an election, but of history. I am bringing to life the dream that generations and generations before me tried but were unable to achieve," said Lula. Lula won the Oct. 27 runoff with 61% of the votes. As he takes office, he has a 76% approval rating, a record in Brazil and among the highest approval ratings of any head of state.

  • January 01 - 09, 2015
    São Paulo – Brazil January 01 - 09, 2015 Fiscal Composure 01/01/2015 After a series of accounting maneuvers and last-minute legal fixes, the true scale of the damage to Brazil's National Treasury this year is unlikely to be known until the end of January. Even without taking into account the duty on public debt, the government accumulated a deficit of US $6.9 billion from January to November, a shocking deterioration since 2011, when the government achieved a surplus of US $35.2 billion. Given the lack of transparency with which the public finances have been dealt with, it is still uncertain what approach the outgoing economic team will take. In the best hypothesis, all spending that has been planned will be completed, including those that have been postponed for months or even years. However, there remains the fear that in order to present favorable accounts, the government will repeat the trick of transferring for the following year an increasing slice of its expenses, creating another obstacle on top of the adjustment planned for President Dilma Rousseff's second term. The incoming finance minister, Joaquim Levy, will have to take the fiscal promises made by the government with a generous pinch of salt. While the announcement of surplus targets equivalent to 1.2% of GDP in 2015 and 2% in 2015 and 2017 has been well received, it is not enough to restore the confidence of business leaders and investors. Doubts also hang over the government's ability to increase tax revenues, and especially over the level of freedom the new economic team will be granted by the Rousseff administration.
