💉 Project that makes vaccine mandatory is approved in Brazil

—"A bill that requires the vaccine against Covid-19 in the Federal District was approved by the Legislative Chamber on Wednesday (10) in the second round. The drafting of the proposal follows the decision of the Supreme Court (STF) of December 2020 that allows states and municipalities to make the vaccine mandatory.

According to the proposal, the citizen must provide proof of receipt of the vaccine to have access to social benefits, enrollment in public and private schools, and perform administrative acts with the government. The project also created a R$408 benefit for low-income families until the end of the pandemic, even though it already benefits from other social programs. Governor Ibaneis Rocha (MDB) can sanction or veto the project, in whole or in part."

—"The Federal Police (PF) launched this Thursday morning (11) an operation that investigates alleged fraud in bids for federal hospitals in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

Through a note, the PF reported that 30 agents participated in Operation Ossobuco."

🇧🇷📈 Brazil inflation tops 5% for first time in four years, rate hike likely

—"Annual inflation in Brazil rose above 5% in February for the first time in four years, official figures showed on Thursday, above analysts’ expectations and almost certainly setting the seal on an interest rate hike next week.

The central bank was already expected to deliver the first increase in Brazilian interest rates since 2015 at its March 16-17 meeting. The latest inflation numbers open up the possibility that it may even be a 75 basis point increase.

“The jump in Brazilian inflation to a stronger-than-expected 5.2% last month makes it almost certain that Copom will begin a tightening cycle next week,” said William Jackson, chief emerging market economist at Capital Economics, referring to the bank’s rate-setting committee known as ‘Copom’.

“While we’ve penciled in a 50bp rate hike to 2.50%, these data make a larger rise of 75bp increasingly likely,” he said. [...]"

— Reminder that this is just the beggining. The owner of a Japanese restaurant next to where I live, an old Japanese man, killed himself in 2020. Many business closing, suicides, people living in the streets, higher rates of poverty.... We see this happening already. But later this year and in 2022, the crisis will hit even harder.

“We have carefully studied the experience of the Karabakh war. We also want to return our territories. The borders of the Donetsk Republic do not coincide with the borders of the Donetsk region. Our goal is to unite the people of Donbass. And if Ukraine crosses the line and starts a war, we will not stop either. "

While the Anglo-American media is preoccupied with irrelevant topics (Who cares about White House Dogs?), the sounds of a storm of crises start to sound again further south of Rio Grande, the sounds of a new Pink Tide, the long-called Latin spring, as the media of the American regime loves to call it and, as a reaction, the possibility of the beginning of a "Latin Winter"

Following the cleansing of the corruption history of Former president, the Socialist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva by the Brazilian Supreme Court Judges, some more veiled conversations began to appear in the inner circles of the National-Populist Government of Jair Bolsonaro, while the wave of pink revolutions continues to spread around Latin America (Chile, Paraguay, and soon... Ecuador?)
— Would it, at last, be the 'breaking point' for the tenuous stability of the Greatest Democracy, that is Brazil, of the Southern Cone of the Latin American continent approaching?

🇧🇷🌐 UOL | Army General, a member of the government committee, says that "the breaking point is approaching" | 10-03-21
— "On Tuesday (9), the Clube Militar website published two texts criticizing the decision by Minister Edson Fachin to annul the Lava Jato lawsuits against former President Lula. In one of the publications, reserve general Luiz Eduardo Rocha Paiva says that "the breaking point is approaching". Paiva is a member of the Amnesty Commission, an organ linked to the office of Minister Damares Alves, Women, Family and Human Rights. He was appointed to the post in the administration of Jair Bolsonaro.

The council, according to its institutional definition, is responsible for analyzing the amnesty requirements "that have unequivocal proof of the facts related to the persecution suffered, of an exclusively political character, as well as issuing an opinion on the amnesty requirements".

After saying that Fachin's decision is a slap in the face of the Brazilian nation, the general says that the STF "wounded the balance of Powers with death". "If we continue on this path, we will reach the point of institutional rupture and, at that time, the Armed Forces (FA) will be called upon by the Union Powers themselves, as stated in the Constitution", he wrote."

🇧🇷🇷🇺 Sputnik Brazil | Brazil: Military Club speaks of 'breaking point' and preaches intervention in the Supreme Court | 10-03-21
— "The Military Club website has been used in recent days by reserve generals who criticize the decision of Minister Edson Fachin, which overturned the condemnations of former President Lula.

"In a conflict between the powers, which of them will the FA [Armed Forces] submit to? Certainly, they will remain united and on the side of the nation, the sole holder of their loyalty. May the national leadership keep this in mind."

It was with these words that reserve general Luiz Eduardo Rocha Paiva concluded his text published last night (9) on the Clube Militar website.

The fact draws attention because it happens shortly after General Eduardo José Barbosa, president of the Military Club, to criticize the decision of Minister Edson Fachin, of the Supreme Federal Court, to annul the convictions of former President Lula."
