Major cigarette companies selling in Brazil, linked to Abifumo, have welcomed the decision of the National Secretariat for Consumer Protection of the Ministry of Justice to ban the sale of “electronic cigarettes” in the country, which is illegal and very little challenged in the market. It remains for the National Health Surveillance Agency to lift the siege. “Actions of this kind are important because they strengthen the fight against smuggling and illegal trade, criminal activities that are detrimental to Brazilian society,” Abifumo said. Conventional cigarette cases pay billions of reais in taxes in Brazil and complain about the delay in product regulation by Anvisa, as has already been done in other countries. “The lack of proper regulation of e-cigarettes is hurting millions of consumers of these products as it prevents them from purchasing them by properly registered Brazilian authorities.”

The organization “Rock in Rio” scared for several days. Until Wednesday, ahead of today’s screenings, the Military Police and Fire Department had “nothing to oppose” to the installations. The case became the agenda of a meeting of the government’s security summit. But firefighters and police confirmed the permits late Wednesday. Rock in Rio warned that, “as in previous editions, it proves to the state authorities its consent to receive all the final documentation, which is issued on the eve of the event after all checks.”

As in years past, parties are struggling to reach the quota of female candidates, either because they really don’t want it and resort to empty arguments, or because women lack participation. Across the country, out of 229 candidates for the Senate, only 52 (22.7%) are women. There were 222 male candidates registered in governments, compared to 39 (17.56%) female candidates.

The DF electoral MP list with over 40 contested by the body and sent to TRE is already wreaking havoc in the square. The squeak is great, and lawyers are rushing to try to cancel the cases.

Until last night, José Roberto Arruda and Añelo Queiroz (PT) were on the list with requests to impeach the body.
