Aristotle Drummond The relevance of Sarney at 95
Brazil has many former presidents. Fernando Collor, Fernando Henrique, Dilma Rousseff, Michel Temer, Jair Bolsonaro and José Sarney.
Sarney, the eldest, 95, is today the great advisor of the Republic. Even Fernando Collor, who made strong opposition to his government, surrendered to the qualities of the longest of politicians. Perhaps the only one who has not heard was Bolsonaro, which may explain the unlikely defeat in the search for the second term.
Sarney gave lucid interview to the newspaper O Globo this week that marks the 40th anniversary of his inauguration. A lesson of politics and example of common sense.
Lula doesn't believe
in the law of supply and demand
Lula da Silva wants government actions to cut food prices. It does not consider the seasonality of fruits and vegetables, climate interventions and influence of the exchange rate on what is imported, such as wheat. The prices climb seems more associated with inflation and interest rates, points with which the government does not agree. It prefers to imply that producers have control over prices and costs.
Lula da Silva is giving in to the leftist wing of the PT. Representative Gleisi Hoffmann, named Minister of Presidential Institutional Relations, is a critique of the control of public spending by Minister Fernando Haddad, and measures to remove imported food taxes to lower internal prices have been badly received by the productive sector and will have no practical effect. Lula threatened food producers with 'more drastic measures'. The high price is a consequence of inflation that also punishes entrepreneurs.
