Lack of Government transparency: 'Opacity is always the enemy of good governance'

Now31 August 2026 at 15:33

The opacity in government management was the subject of debate, with the lack of transparency being pointed out as harmful to good public administration. The expression "opacity is always the enemy of good management" summarizes the criticism made during the discussion.

The Ministry of Education faces a significant debt situation towards the polytechnic institutes. The amount in question is 38 million euros.

This debt results from career unfreezing and the performance evaluation of professionals, without corresponding budget reinforcement to address these obligations.

The situation illustrates a financial planning problem between the Ministry of Education and polytechnic higher education institutions.

The decree by Getúlio Vargas that handed Olga Prestes over to Adolf Hitler, 90 years ago

90 years ago, on August 28, 1936, President Getúlio Vargas signed a decree ordering the deportation of Olga Benário Prestes, a German activist from a Jewish family and wife of communist leader Luiz Carlos Prestes, to Nazi Germany. Olga had been arrested months earlier, in March, during a police operation with more than 90 agents, in a building in the Cachambi neighborhood, in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Despite being pregnant with Prestes' child and being his legitimate wife, nothing prevented Vargas's decision, who was aware of the situation of Jews in Germany, where the Nuremberg Laws, enacted in 1935, had already stripped this population of various rights.
