The US government’s State Department has updated its recommendations for tourists to take care of their own safety and placed Brazil, alongside countries such as Ecuador and Cuba, at safety “level 2” (“Maximum Caution”) . Brazil is also mentioned at “level 4” (“Do not travel”), recommending tourists avoid places with a high incidence of crime, such as “favelas, villages or communities”. The State Department’s alert includes areas around Brasilia.
The favelas and suburbs of large Brazilian cities worry the American government as much as the dictatorships of North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran.
Germany and France also obtained security alert level 2, for several reasons: risk of terrorist attacks.
In Brazil the concern is crime, shootings between “gangs”, etc. In European countries it is about terrorism and civil unrest, like in France.
Level 3 (“Reconsider Travel”) includes, for example, Colombia, for the risk of crimes, kidnappings and robberies, and Pakistan, for terrorism.
The CVM also warns Eldorado regarding the statement in which it advises shareholders to “terminate the agreement” between Paper Excellence and J&F.
CVM denies Eldorado in dispute over its control
The Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) has denied the lie of Incra-MS and declared that it does not have the administrative jurisdiction to decide on the transfer of control of the Eldorado Celulose company. In a letter addressed to the head of INCRA in the state, the agency of the Ministry of Finance underlines that it is only competent to register a public offer for the purchase of securities. The transfer of control of a joint-stock company, as in the Eldorado case, would depend on an agreement between Paper Excellence and J&F shareholders.
The CVM also warns Eldorado regarding the statement in which it advises shareholders to “terminate the agreement” between Paper Excellence and J&F.
In the Incra-MS message, which produced an opinion for Joesley et caterva, the CVM also warns that it may investigate possible illegal acts.
Paper accused Eldorado management of disloyalty to J&F in attempting to thwart the transfer of control of the company.
Power without shame
Cutlery in your pocket
Lula was a deputy and Jair Meneghelli was president of the CUT and they went to Brasilia on the same plane, with a decent flight time, with stainless steel cutlery. Jair ate lunch and slept. Lula decided to play: she put the cutlery in her friend’s pocket. She called the flight attendant and handed it over. She hit him, asked for cutlery and Meneghelli went back to sleep. Upon disembarking, the flight attendant asked, “Could you return the glass, please?” The president of the CUT did not understand: “What cup?” She showed: “This is in my jacket pocket…”. Meneghelli only realized the joke when he saw Lula laughing on the airport tarmac.
The Gol crisis reinforces an old investor maxim: stay away from airlines. They are subsidized, they have Anac privileges, they charge the most expensive tickets on the planet, etc., but they end up going bankrupt.
