Brazil's Political Landscape: Zambelli's Arrest Warrant, IOF Increase, and Lula's French Honor June 6th, 2025 marked a day of significant developments in Brazil's political scene and international relations. The Brazilian government is preparing to present alternatives to the proposed increase in the IOF tax (International Operations Tax), aiming to raise R$20.5 billion. Meanwhile, the political climate was further charged by the issuance of an Interpol arrest warrant for Congresswoman Carla Zambelli (PL-SP), following her conviction for hacking into the CNJ (National Council of Justice) system. This event has sparked considerable debate and uncertainty. "The Chamber of Deputies will have to validate or not this arrest," explains a UOL journalist in the video, highlighting the potential for further political conflict. Adding an international dimension to the day's events, President Lula da Silva received a prestigious honor from the French Academy, becoming only the second Brazilian, after Dom Pedro II, to receive this distinction. The Academy's choice to analyze the word "multilateralism" in his honor underscores the global significance of the event. The video concludes by emphasizing the unusual nature of Lula's participation in the French Academy debate, highlighting its importance in the current international climate.
