Bolsonaro government accounts

The court's technicians pointed out three improprieties and one irregularity in the execution of budgets and the management of federal public resources during Bolsonaro's administration in 2022. Despite this, the TCU found that, although relevant, the irregularities, as a whole, “do not present materiality and seriousness sufficient to support an adverse opinion on the management of the Union's budgets and other operations carried out with federal public resources, especially regarding what is established in the annual budget law”.

Ashes in NY

New York dawned covered in ash and with the worst air quality this Wednesday. The reasons behind the haze and poor air quality are due to a fire in the Canadian province of Quebec, which has become the latest epicenter of the 250 fires raging across the country.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams even reported during Tuesday night that the air was unhealthy. As a result of this current situation that the city is experiencing, the National Meteorological Service asked people to avoid exercising outdoors and avoid driving cars due to low light. (Young pan)
