Continuing to follow the main events of the week, today our Special Data focus is Politics. Love it or hate it, there would be no nations, governments or order without it, it is what governs our lives. Therefore, we have separated some highlights of politics in Brazil and around the world, so you don't miss out on anything that's going on in the news. Do you have any doubt? Don't forget to ask!
Corporate cards were created in 1995, but came into operation in the first year of President Lula's first term. They were created with the aim of providing more transparency of government spending to the population and more agility and efficiency in emergency and essential spending by Government employees. The transparency part works well, anyone who wants to see their card statements just access the Transparency Portal.
Until the deviations began to appear. From high-ranking Government officials (such as Ministers) to security guards for the President's family, deviations in corporate card functions began to appear linked to various names. They were spent in shopping malls, car rentals and even street vendors.
With the scandal running rampant in the press, they began to “pull strings”: the Federal Public Ministry opened an investigation into the Federal Government’s expenses, the Government asked the General Inspectorate of the Union (CGU) and the Federal Audit Court ( TCU) analyzed the irregularities and the opposition wants, because it wants, the CPI dos Cartões.
The big question is: Is corruption an incurable evil in Brazil? What’s more, has it become “organic” to society, has it become “normal”? What do you think of the notion of some corrupt people that “public money has no owner”? Give your opinion!
