Cell phone data from Bolsonaro may be used in other inquiries, lawyers say
Cell phone data seized from former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro during a Federal Police operation investigating Covid-19 vaccination card fraud may be used in other inquiries. Legal experts explain the concepts of 'borrowed evidence' and 'fortuitous finding of evidence,' which allow for evidence to be used across different investigations. Bolsonaro's defense, along with his party's president, Valdemar Costa Neto, assert his integrity and question the operation's legality. Bolsonaro himself denies any wrongdoing regarding his vaccination status.
Kalil confirms Lula at Praça da Estação in Belo Horizonte on August 18
Alexandre Kalil, PSD's candidate for the government of Minas Gerais, confirmed that presidential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the PT party will visit Belo Horizonte on August 18 during the official campaign period. The event will take place at Praça da Estação. Kalil, who has been trying to associate his image with Lula's, has yet to convert Lula's support into a significant increase in voting intentions according to a DATATEMPO survey. Governor Romeu Zema of the Novo party currently leads the polls for the succession in Minas with a potential first-round reelection.
End of grain agreement between Russia and Ukraine could impact inflation in Brazil, experts say
The grain export agreement between Russia and Ukraine, facilitated by Turkey, is at risk as Russia threatens to end it, citing non-compliance by Ukraine and Western countries. Experts warn that the termination could exacerbate global food insecurity and increase grain prices, impacting inflation in countries like Brazil. The agreement, which unlocked three Ukrainian ports and allowed for the export of 5 million tons of cereals per month, is crucial for global food security. The potential end of the agreement raises concerns for Brazil, where food inflation could be affected, influencing the Central Bank's interest rate decisions. The UN has highlighted the agreement's role in preventing a further 100 million people from falling into extreme poverty by reducing basic food prices.

Bonfires, skiing, costumes: countries celebrate Easter differently from Brazil
Easter is celebrated around the world with various cultural customs beyond its religious significance. In Sweden, the 'spring-winter' season is a time for outdoor celebrations with skiing, barbecues, and sunbathing in snow pits. Australians have the 'Bilby', a native marsupial, as an Easter icon, with chocolates shaped like Bilbies instead of the traditional bunny. In the United States, Easter egg hunts with candy-filled eggs are a common tradition. Germany's celebrations involve hiding Easter eggs and gifts for children, followed by feasts without traditional recipes. Finnish children dress up and go door-to-door asking for sweets, similar to Halloween.

Federal deputy and former governor of Minas Gerais, Aécio Neves (PSDB), denied plans to dine with current governor Romeu Zema (Novo) and reaffirmed his support for Marcus Pestana (PSDB) as the party's candidate for the Minas Gerais government. The PSDB officially works on Pestana's pre-candidacy without showing signs of supporting another party's candidate. Zema's party faces challenges confirming a vice-candidate for his ticket. Mateus Simões (Novo) expressed hope for PSDB's support for Zema's reelection, questioning Pestana's viability as a candidate. Paulo Abi-Ackel, PSDB's state president, responded by suggesting Simões' comments could sabotage potential alliances.

He emphasized the need for dialogue and criticized the current government for not convincing the majority of parliamentarians.

Zema attacks Kalil: 'He wants people subjected to the will of the ruler'
Minas Gerais Governor and re-election candidate Romeu Zema of the Novo party criticized his political opponent Alexandre Kalil of the PSD, accusing him of wanting the population to be dependent on basic food baskets and thus subject to the will of state rulers. Zema contrasted this with his goal of giving people autonomy, exemplified by a woman from Vale do Jequitinhonha who would sign her work card for the first time and no longer need a basic food basket.
