Keeping Juscelino in the ministry shows Lira’s power – 03/11/2023 – Elio Gaspari

Keeping deputy Juscelino Filho in the Ministry of Communications showed the size of the power of the mayor, Arthur Lira.

He limited himself to saying that the government does not have a parliamentary basis to approve the reforms it announces. It was enough to contain Lula’s moralizing speech.

At this rate, Lira will only approve a tax reform if the hereditary captaincy regime is reestablished.

there is something in the air

Finance Minister Fernando Haddad promises a cycle of economic growth. Maybe he will come. However, in the real economy, luck has failed.

Since the beginning of the government, without him being responsible for it, the Americanas retail chain has failed and the health plan operator Hapvida has lost half of its market value.

In the case of Americanas, it is impossible for the Widow’s purse to be attacked. In the case of health insurance companies, it is very likely that the Good Lady will be called upon to help companies by loosening rules that protect citizens.

It remains to be seen how the magic will be packaged.

The (bad) American example

It is true that American legislation is quite severe with regard to the treats offered to public servants, but when a president wants to, the norms go into space.

In 1982, American President Ronald Reagan was in Brasilia, visited the “Alvarado” Palace, compared it to the headquarters of an insurance company and liked a horse owned by his colleague João Figueiredo. His name was Giminich.

In official records, Reagan gave Figueiredo a sculpture of a cowboy (later sold for R$1,000) and received only a bronze piece by Bruno Giorgi and a lace tablecloth.

Off the record, the horse Giminich was worth much more than the $150 fixed by law.

He was sent to Washington on loan. There he died, of old age.
