The first day of payment of Auxílio Brasil, the approval in the Chamber of the basic text for the re-creation of the Ministry of Labor and the request for an investigation into alleged interference in Enem are among the highlights of the 5 late facts this Wednesday, November 17, 2021.
Brazil Aid
Today, the first installment of the Auxílio Brasil begins to be paid. The new program that replaces Bolsa Família should have an average value of R$217, below the R$400 promised by the federal government. Beneficiaries with final NIS 1 will be the first to receive, and all who were registered with Bolsa Família will automatically migrate to the new program.
agency explosion
On the first day of Auxílio Brasil payments, a Caixa Econômica branch was blown up in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro. The site was destroyed, but there were no injuries. The Federal Police investigates the case.
Ministry of Labor Recreation
The Chamber of Deputies approved the basic text of the provisional measure that recreates the Ministry of Labor and Welfare. The Ministry of Labor was incorporated into the Ministry of Economy at the beginning of President Jair Bolsonaro’s term. In July, the portfolio was recreated and is currently headed by Onyx Lorenzoni, but to become law it needs to go through Congress. The proposal is now going to be analyzed by the Senate.
Enem investigation
The opposition to the Bolsonaro government asked the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) to investigate the National Secondary Education Examination (Enem). In a meeting with the president of the Court, Ana Arraes, the group requested the removal of the president of Inep, Danilo Dupas, and stated that he would file an audit document. Last week, officials at the test-run institute resigned en masse and complained of government interference in the tests.
more expensive oil
The price of a barrel of oil around the world has already risen 60% this year and is already the highest value since 2014. For some experts, prices should not only take a while to give in, but they should also increase. In Brazil, the problem gets worse because of the dollar rate, which still rises around 5% this year and the trend is that fuels may become even more expensive in the country.
