According to voices within the military and opposition leaders, the high command—particularly under General Tomás—has drifted dangerously from its foundational duty to protect the people and the nation, instead appearing to serve narrow political interests tied to the current government and the Supreme Federal Court. At its core, this is not merely a bureaucratic dispute…

More cash flows to programs, people have jobs today, and the government wins some votes. But the bill always comes due. Here is the real cost: Rising debt: Brazil’s public debt is already climbing past 80% of GDP. More borrowing means bigger interest payments every year. That crowds out money for roads, schools, or private businesses. Higher prices and interest rates: When the government spends wildly, inflation risks go up. The Central Bank has to keep interest…

Alcolumbre recently helped engineer the stunning Senate rejection of Lula’s Supreme Federal Court nominee Jorge Messias—the first time a presidential pick for the STF has been blocked in…
