The Attempt to Block Fiscal Autonomy

dnoticias.pt5 September 2026 at 02:00

A few days before the approval of the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic, the Constituent Assembly intensely debated the definition of the financial powers of the Autonomous Regions of Madeira and the Azores. In this debate, the PCP advocated a legislative orientation aimed at limiting the fiscal autonomy of the islands, invoking national unity and the risk of economic separatism. The first axis of this position was the proposal to add Article 2-A, which sought to reserve for the Republic the exclusivity of competences in this matter. This attempt to block the fiscal autonomy of the island regions ultimately did not prevail in the final version of the Constitution.

Gonet asks Fachin for permission to investigate Mendonça for suspected interference in the Federal Police in a report about messages between Moraes and Vorcaro

The Attorney General of Brazil, Paulo Gonet, opened an investigation to determine whether there was interference in the Federal Police in the preparation of a 218-page report that detailed messages exchanged between banker Daniel Vorcaro and Justice Alexandre de Moraes, of the STF. Gonet asked the president of the Court, Edson Fachin, to investigate the possible participation of Justice André Mendonça in the case, after he had commissioned the report to identify Vorcaro's interlocutors. The report also mentions conversations involving other officials, such as Gonet himself and the director-general of the Federal Police. Gonet determined that the police should clarify the circumstances of the preparation of the report, particularly regarding possible external orders or influence that may have affected its content.
