Brazil’s Temer rushes to get Congress to block corruption probe
Brazilian President Michel Temer is embroiled in a corruption scandal after Attorney General Rodrigo Janot filed charges against him, marking the first time a sitting president in Brazil has faced such accusations. The charges stem from allegations that Temer accepted bribes from JBS, Brazil's largest meat producer, to favor their business interests. The scandal is part of the broader Carwash investigation, which has already implicated numerous politicians and business leaders. Temer is actively seeking support from Congress to block the probe, offering government funds and positions in exchange for loyalty. Despite a low approval rating and significant political challenges, Temer may still have enough congressional support to halt the investigation. However, the corruption charges have weakened his ability to push through key reforms, particularly those related to pension and labor laws.

The new wage floor is set at R$ 4,750 for professionals under the CLT regime, with varying percentages for nursing technicians, assistants, and midwives. Barroso's decision also addresses financial constraints and potential job risks in the private hospital sector, allowing for collective negotiation. The wage floor must be fully paid to federal government-employed professionals. The Federal Nursing Council reports over 2.8 million nursing professionals in Brazil.

Tarnished Gold: Aircraft, fuel key to illegal Amazon mining
Illegal gold mining in Brazil's Amazon, particularly in the Yanomami reserve, is heavily reliant on aircraft and fuel logistics. Despite intensified efforts by federal police and environmental agencies to disrupt these operations, challenges persist due to sophisticated evasion tactics and local resistance. High gold prices, reduced oversight, and pro-mining rhetoric from President Jair Bolsonaro have exacerbated the issue. Investigations reveal a complex network involving local elites, fuel suppliers, and aviation companies. The environmental and social impacts are severe, with Indigenous groups facing increased violence and environmental degradation.

Brazilian authorities investigate possible genocide against the Yanomami and Bolsonaro speaks of a farce
The Brazilian Ministry of Justice and Public Security, led by Flávio Dino, has initiated a police investigation into potential genocide in the Yanomami indigenous territory in Roraima, where over 500 children have died in the past four years due to illegal mining contamination. Indigenous Peoples Minister Sonia Guajajara corroborates the genocide claim, citing severe neglect in indigenous healthcare. Researcher Estevão Senra from the Instituto Socioambiental highlights the drastic cuts in healthcare resources for indigenous people. Following a federal government visit and President Lula's declaration of a public health emergency, the judicial system is probing the deaths for signs of genocide. Over 60 health workers have been dismissed. Former President Jair Bolsonaro, potentially facing accountability, has dismissed the allegations as a left-wing farce.

We are living the end of the pandemic, says Bolsonaro despite the rise in Covid deaths
Despite the rising COVID-19 cases and deaths in Brazil, President Jair Bolsonaro claimed the country is at the 'end of the pandemic.' On the previous day, Brazil recorded its highest number of daily deaths since early October. Bolsonaro praised his government's economic response and controversially credited the use of chloroquine for the supposed end of the pandemic, despite a lack of scientific support. He also compared Brazil's situation to African countries, attributing their lower death rates to chloroquine use for malaria, again without scientific evidence. The article notes that Brazil continues to circulate misinformation about COVID-19 treatments and that political disputes are a major source of pandemic misinformation in the country.

Controversy in Brazil grows over the Belo Monte dam in the Amazon
Intense debates in the Brazilian Congress over the construction of the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam in the Amazon have led to delays. The dam, with an estimated cost of $3 billion plus $2.5 billion for transmission lines, would be the world's third-largest. Indigenous communities and local Amazon residents, supported by the IACHR of the OAS, oppose the project due to its environmental impact, including the flooding of 500 square kilometers and effects on the Paquiçamba indigenous area. The Brazilian government's dismissive response to the IACHR's recommendations has angered environmentalists and locals. The Nature Conservancy warns that additional upstream dams would be necessary, exacerbating deforestation. The project, previously abandoned in the 1990s, is now pushed forward by President Dilma Rousseff, who argues it is vital for Brazil's energy and development needs despite the protests.

Rio de Janeiro faces escalating violence due to organized crime and weakened law enforcement, prompting a federal military intervention. The intervention, seen by some as a political move by President Michel Temer, highlights the city's deteriorating security infrastructure and the failure of previous pacification strategies. The article argues for a comprehensive reform of Rio's security and urban infrastructure, emphasizing the need for a long-term solution rather than a quick military fix. Despite the intervention's popularity among residents, the root causes of violence, including police corruption and lack of public services, remain unaddressed.

End of grain agreement between Russia and Ukraine could impact inflation in Brazil, experts say
The grain export agreement between Russia and Ukraine, facilitated by Turkey, is at risk as Russia threatens to end it, citing non-compliance by Ukraine and Western countries. Experts warn that the termination could exacerbate global food insecurity and increase grain prices, impacting inflation in countries like Brazil. The agreement, which unlocked three Ukrainian ports and allowed for the export of 5 million tons of cereals per month, is crucial for global food security. The potential end of the agreement raises concerns for Brazil, where food inflation could be affected, influencing the Central Bank's interest rate decisions. The UN has highlighted the agreement's role in preventing a further 100 million people from falling into extreme poverty by reducing basic food prices.

Government accumulates attempts at creative accounting to improve accounts and spend more
The current administration under Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has engaged in various creative accounting practices to manage fiscal constraints and increase spending. These practices, reminiscent of previous administrations, include limiting budget contingencies, excluding certain expenses from primary deficit calculations, and reclassifying debt payments. The Supreme Federal Court recently allowed the government to pay delayed debts without reclassifying them, while legislative actions have both supported and opposed these fiscal maneuvers. Critics argue that these practices undermine fiscal responsibility and transparency.
