The BRICS+ Summit takes place in New Delhi on September 12 and 13. The article describes the event as a spectacle of geopolitical illusions.

The survival increase by the happy and contented sirs.

This opinion article criticizes the salary increases announced by the Madeira government as cosmetic measures that do not solve the real economic problems of residents. The author argues that the region has the highest inflation in the country, prohibitive housing costs and constantly rising fuel, while the announced increases are mere survival subsidies that do not recover lost purchasing power. The text attacks the disconnect of political leaders from everyday reality, accusing them of prioritizing civil construction and real estate speculation over the well-being of the population. It also points to excessive travel and representation allowances for government members, and warns that accumulated indignation may explode unpredictably after three years without regional elections.

Understand what changes after Fachin's decision to request the lifting of secrecy on Master case investigations

The president of the Supreme Federal Court, Edson Fachin, decided to lift the secrecy of the Banco Master case investigations, which were under the rapporteurship of Justice André Mendonça. The measure expands internal access for the other justices of the Court to the content of the inquiry, allowing them to analyze the evidence and documents gathered by the Federal Police, which were previously restricted only to the rapporteur. Fachin determined, however, that diligences whose secrecy is essential for investigative measures be preserved. The decision occurs amid an internal crisis at the STF and close to the first round of elections.
