OPINION. A denialist government requires an independent Senate

Dilma is back. The terrible economic ideas of the impeached President – which led the country to its biggest crisis since the 1930s – are now returning with the Lula Government.

Translated from Portuguese Read in Portuguese

Brazil's government has approved a fiscal package that has been criticized for its economic policies. The package includes restrictions on tax compensation for companies and limits on resources for states and municipalities. The bill, discussed in the Senate, consists of three measures that have been described as "calotes" or dodges. The government's actions have been criticized for being unrealistic and potentially leading to more financial instability, with some banks predicting low economic growth and high inflation.
