oglobo2 September 2026 at 02:23

Representatives from the government and Congress reached an agreement to vote on Wednesday on the provisional measure that ends the so-called 'cheap shirt tax.' The text provides for an exemption from the 20% charge on international purchases of up to US$ 20.

The understanding was reached during a meeting that included the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta, the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, the rapporteur of the MP, Leila Barros, the president of the joint committee, Reginaldo Lopes, and the minister of Planning, Bruno Moretti.

The vote by the joint committee had been postponed twice. It was initially scheduled for Monday, then rescheduled for this Tuesday, and now has a new target for Wednesday.

The ferry anonymous.

The article is a political reflection on the impact of anonymous people in history, from Irena Sendler and Stanislav Petrov to Vasili Arkhipov, contrasting them with the "ferry anonymous" — a reference to the individual who, according to the author, blocks maritime transport solutions between Madeira and mainland Portugal, benefiting financially while the island remains without a ferry connection, something unique among European islands.

Who would have thought, Neves imitating Albuquerque in Madeira.

This opinion article criticizes the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, for adopting the same posture as the President of the Regional Government of Madeira, Miguel Albuquerque, refusing to yield to political and media pressure to resign from his position. The author argues that both practice a "birds of a feather" policy, deflecting focus from resignation demands through field agendas and protocol greetings, while PSD leadership tries to avoid "domino effects". The text warns that this normalization of staying in office at all costs, only sustained by parliamentary majority support, wears down citizens' trust in democratic institutions and fuels the growth of populism and the far right, benefiting parties like Chega that present themselves as the only ones demanding consequences and political accountability.

TSE rejects fine for Bolsonaro for using AI with father's image at convention

The Superior Electoral Court rejected by four votes to three the application of a fine to PL candidate for President, Bolsonaro, for using a deepfake video of former President Jair Bolsonaro's image during the convention that formalized his candidacy. The majority of ministers understood that there was no irregularity, as the content was displayed at a closed party event. The president of the TSE, Nunes Marques, considered that the internet broadcast does not transform the convention into electoral propaganda directed at the electorate, since support manifestations made at party conventions are directed at party members. The minister highlighted that legislation allows the disclosure of pre-candidacies and requests for political support, as long as there is no explicit vote request.

What happens after the PGR requests nullification of the investigation against Moraes?

The PGR requested the nullification of the investigation opened by the STF against Justice Alexandre de Moraes, arguing that the investigation order was determined without a request from the Public Ministry or initiative from the Federal Police, exceeding the limits of judicial action in the pre-prosecutorial phase. Attorney General Paulo Gonet also advocates for the annulment of the evidence obtained and the dismissal of the petition in the case. Justice André Mendonça will forward the request to the full STF for analysis, after having already stated he would bring the matter to the other justices. Mendonça stated that the facts presented by the Federal Police need to be examined in a technical and legal manner, in a public and in-person session.
