Bolsonarista' truckers block the highways of half of Brazil in support of the president and he calls for them to free the roads

The political situation in Brazil does not give a break. While the three powers are submerged in a serious crisis driven by the president himself, Jair Bolsonaro, truckers block the roads of several states for the second day in a row as a sign of support for the far-right.

"A few words to the truckers who are there, they are our allies, but these blockades affect our economy. This causes shortages, inflation and hurts everyone, especially the poorest," said the president in an audio message sent to the groups of conductors.

Estudio dice que algunos bancos europeos trasladan ganancias a paraísos fiscales

Los grandes bancos europeos contabilizan cada año 20.000 millones de euros en beneficios, el 14 % de todas sus ganancias, en paraísos fiscales, donde de media pagan por ellos un 12 % en impuesto de sociedades, muy por debajo de lo que tributan en los países donde tienen su sede.

Según un estudio del centro EU TAX Observatory que será publicado este 8 de septiembre, algunos grandes bancos llegan a contabilizar más de un 50 % de sus beneficios en estas jurisdicciones pese a que de media solo representan un 4 % de los trabajadores, lo que sugiere que están trasladando las ganancias desde dónde realmente se realizan hasta países con impuestos más bajos para aligerar su factura fiscal.
