The government's political and economic choices when increasing the gasoline subsidy

oglobo10 September 2026 at 08:00

The government made the decision to use the increase in tax revenue caused by the rise in oil prices to try to contain fuel prices. This political and economic choice was highlighted in an exclusive article.

Instead of directing all the extraordinary gains from the oil price increase to reducing public debt, the Executive chose to use these resources to subsidize fuels.

The decision reflects a choice between priorities: containing consumer prices or strengthening public finances through debt reduction.

STF decides next week whether to investigate Minister Moraes over messages with Vorcaro

The Supreme Federal Court scheduled an extraordinary session for Tuesday (15) to decide whether to open an investigation against Minister Alexandre de Moraes due to messages exchanged with banker Daniel Vorcaro. The Court president took several measures to contain the internal crisis, including removing Moraes from the fake news inquiry rapporteurship, blocking opposing decisions by Ministers André Mendonça and Flávio Dino, and maintaining Andrei Rodrigues as head of the Federal Police. The court will analyze the validity of the PF report and the Attorney General's office statement, which considered the document null. With Barroso's retirement still without a replacement, the STF operates with ten ministers, and legal scholars recommend that the magistrates directly involved abstain from the judgment.
