Left Bloc accuses Government of announcing "crumbs" already "swallowed" with new interest rate hike

Correio da Manhã10 September 2026 at 19:06

Bloco de Esquerda accused the Government of announcing "crumbs" that have already been "swallowed" by the new interest rate hike. The leftist coordinator questioned the effectiveness of government measures given the worsening economic conditions.

The party states that the cost of living has been fueled by government policies, expressing doubts about any eventual "popular base" of support for these measures.

This position comes in a context of interest rate increases that directly affect Portuguese families, especially those with home loans and other borrowings.

See what is #FACT or #FAKE in Anthony Garotinho's interview with O GLOBO, Extra, Valor and CBN

The candidate for governor of Rio by Republicanos, Anthony Garotinho, was interviewed on Thursday by O GLOBO, Extra, Valor and CBN. In the 1h30 interview, he minimized his rejection and the arrests he suffered, besides blaming Michelle for the non-disclosure of the "night of the Astronauts" video. Garotinho also proposed a "BOPE 2.0" and the creation of subway line 3 with "super ferries", but dodged questions about support for Lula or his son Flavio Bolsonaro, leaving his presidential vote open. The series of interviews began with Douglas Ruas (PL), continued with William Siri (PSOL), and will be concluded by Eduardo Paes (PSD) on Friday.
