Brazilian politicians across the ideological spectrum expressed shock on at an unconfirmed report in newspaper Estado de S.Paulo that the defense minister communicated to the speaker of the lower house that next year's scheduled presidential election would not take place without printed ballots. The report, which cited anonymous sources comes after repeated public allegations by President Jair Bolsonaro that Brazil's electronic voting system is vulnerable to fraud. He has provided no proof for those claims. Defense Minister Walter Braga Netto, an army general, delivered through an interlocutor a message to House Speaker Arthur Lira that the 2022 presidential election must use printed votes.

In his last days of mandate, the American ambassador to Brazil, Todd Chapman, defended that the Brazilian government presents in the coming months – before the world climate meeting – a detailed plan on how the country intends to meet the environmental commitments recently made by President Jair Bolsonaro. “It’s time [for Brazil] not to be the bad guy and to be the hero. Now is the time,“ he said. At the climate summit led by U.S. President Joe Biden, Bolsonaro pledged to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and end illegal deforestation by 2030.

The creation of the document should take 12 months. The atlas will consist not only of a physical document but also a digital programme for viewing maps in a geographic information system (GIS), a solarimetric and meteorological database, and training courses.

Swiss trading firm Mercuria is suspending its Brazilian oil products operations early next month amid a protracted transition to a free and open downstream market. Mercuria has been involved since 2016 in Brazil's motor fuels market through its Flamma subsidiary, importing diesel and gasoline through the southern ports of Santos and Paranagua, and Aratu port in the Bahia state. The company for the past two years has been focused on its diesel business in Paranagua and decided to exit Brazil because a frequently closed arbitrage for diesel imports eroded the branch's profitability. The opening of Brazil's downstream market is behind schedule as the Covid-19 pandemic.
