I just read in detail the 2027 finance bill that was submitted this morning by the Prime Minister ✅ Let's overlook the fact that the proposed savings are clearly insufficient. What I noted regarding taxation: • No general increase in capital taxation • No direct attack concerning the PEA • No change regarding the Exit Tax (and this is what interested me the most) • Reduction of 30% of the exceptional surtax on large companies (positive for the large groups concerned, including several companies in the CAC 40) • No new tax or tightening announced specifically targeting wealth management holdings • Indexation of the income tax scale to inflation • No cuts to the Dutreil pact (business transmission) • No increase in donation/succession rights (but no decrease either) • Several measures favorable to the transmission and productive investment of businesses We will now have to remain vigilant about the modifications that could be made by parliamentarians, But in any case, the Government's proposal remains quite timid regarding tax increases, which is an excellent thing ✅ (translated)

This is very serious: US$ 1 MILLION AGAINST THE STF Revealed campaign from the Trump government. The government of Donald Trump allocated US$ 1 million to finance a campaign against the STF in Brazil. The revelations were published this Thursday by the British newspaper The Guardian, which points out how resources originally intended by the US for the global human rights agenda were redirected to the interests of the American far right. According to the report, a US$ 1 million grant titled "Combating Lawfare and Censorship in Brazil" would finance civil society groups that oppose what is described as excessive judicial action and censorship by the Supreme Court of Brazil. "The Trump administration imposed sanctions on Brazilian minister Alexandre de Moraes last year, following pressure from Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of the former president," the article recalled. According to the newspaper, a Democratic congressional aide stated that a senator from the Foreign Relations Committee, Jeanne Shaheen, had maintained the blockage of ten disbursements totaling US$ 22 million, intended for projects in Brazil, South Africa, and Nigeria, as well as for promoting a right-wing ideology in the UK and Europe. This week, Shaheen sent a letter to the Trump administration to denounce interference in the Brazilian election and demand the White House recognize the election results in the country. "Throughout President Trump's second term, we observed US authorities engaged in a campaign of interference and destabilization in Brazil," the senator said in the document. "This effort intensified dramatically during the summer of 2025, when the Administration imposed targeted tariffs and sanctions in an attempt to influence the verdict of the Brazilian Supreme Court in the trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro, accused of attempting to foment a military coup to remain in power," she stated. According to the aide consulted by the newspaper, Secretary of State Marco Rubio had personally signed a memorandum to ignore the senator's blockages and authorize the allocation of funds. Destabilizing the STF For observers and diplomats, destabilizing the STF has become a priority for the Brazilian and foreign far right. The movement sees the institution as a brake on implementing an ultra-conservative project in the country and regaining freedom of action on all fronts. The money comes from the Fund for Human Rights and Democracy, created to finance Trump's conservative agenda around the world and, according to its critics, to attack any form of opposition. "The largest disbursement, totaling US$ 40 million, was allocated to a consortium led by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) — a non-profit anti-communist organization that, in the past, had received much lower amounts in grants," the report indicated. A background check document from the Department of State, consulted by The Guardian, records previous contracts between the foundation and the agency totaling US$ 96,997 in the last five years — all in the fiscal year 2022 — and notes that the organization underwent a check in 2019 related to tickets for the foundation's gala event. The document also identifies Andrew Bremberg — former domestic policy advisor to the White House during the Trump administration and former US ambassador to the UN office in Europe — as a "senior leader" of the foundation.

Attention. We are preparing for revelations of another mega corruption case: the current mayor of María la Baja (Bolívar), Ramiro González Mancilla, detained since August 2026, announces that he will confess and cooperate with justice. Many are trembling... Says his lawyer @GustavoMorenoRi This is the case of the Sierra Nevada Mixed Fund, which could be one of the largest and most sophisticated embezzlements of public resources in the country, surpassing $3.2 billion in royalties. The criminal network, according to the Prosecutor's Office, managed to direct the execution of 1,147 contracts for nearly 480 projects in 19 departments of the country, in infrastructure, education, drinking water, basic sanitation, health, and rural housing. The Prosecutor's Office identified that the fund's executives charged fees ranging from 30 to 60 million pesos per month. With the royalty money, they bought high-end vehicles, apartments, and luxury homes in Valledupar, and paid for a 30-day trip to the 2026 World Cup. (translated)
