One in every eight voters sees political class as the country's biggest problem

oglobo9 September 2026 at 18:28

One in every eight Brazilian voters, equivalent to 13% of the electorate, considers the political class and institutions as the main problem of the country, according to an unprecedented survey conducted by BTG/Nexus. The survey shows that disenchantment with politicians and the Branches of Government is significant throughout the national territory.

The index, however, presents significant regional variations. In the North and Central-West regions, the percentage rises to 19%, indicating that discontent with the political class is more intense in these regions than in the national average.

The survey was produced by BTG/Nexus and its complete details are available only to subscribers, with restricted access upon registration on the platform.

Association asks Supreme Court to guarantee extra benefit for retired judges and pensioners

The National Association of State Magistrates (Anamages) filed a motion with the Supreme Federal Court asking that the payment of the "Career Seniority Value Portion" (PVTAC) be guaranteed to retired judges and pensioners. The entity argues that the STF recognized the right to this indemnification payment during a trial in March, but that an error in the drafting of the ruling did not expressly include this group. The PVTAC is a 5% additional on salary for every five years of legal activity, which can reach up to 35% of the salary, and was approved by the Plenary as an indemnification payment for magistrates and members of the Public Ministry. The motion was sent to Justice Flávio Dino, the rapporteur of the case.

Supports "never" are sufficient to mitigate the increase in cost of living

The Minister of Economy and Territorial Cohesion, Castro Almeida, stated that the supports announced by the Government "never" will be sufficient to mitigate the increase in the cost of living, at a time when Portugal is affected by several "wars". The official stated that no country with balanced accounts has enough money to support a war situation, although the country is not at war but suffering its consequences. When asked whether the reduction of IRS up to the 6th bracket and the bonus for pensioners would be sufficient, Castro Almeida highlighted that, despite the Budget having been presented without a budget surplus, the Finance Minister came to reveal that there will be a positive surplus that allows allocating an additional 800 million euros of public expenditure. The minister also responded to PS's criticisms, guaranteeing that the State "is not profiting from the war", explaining that the increase in VAT revenue is being offset by the reduction of ISP.
