Parliamentarian Questions Use of State Resources in Cultural and Educational Initiatives and Seeks Support to Open Parliamentary Inquiry Commission.

The federal deputy Luiz Philippe de Orleans e Bragança (PL-SP) initiated the collection of signatures to open a Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) focused on the current management of Itaipu Binacional.

The main motivation of the parliamentarian is to investigate possible irregularities in the use of resources from the state-owned company.

He also submitted a formal request to the Ministry of Mines and Energy demanding explanations about the transfer of R$ 752 million for works at the Federal University of Latin American Integration (Unila), in Foz do Iguaçu (PR).

Cultural Events and Billion-Dollar Transfers

The proposed investigation also intends to analyze the transfer of R$ 15 million for the “Janjapalooza“, a cultural event linked to the G20 meeting in 2024 and promoted by the First Lady.

In addition, the parliamentarian cites agreements totaling R$ 1.3 billion related to COP-30 actions.

Values allocated to the Landless Workers Movement (MST) and projects aimed at indigenous communities are also called into question.

Another point highlighted in the CPI request is the increase in the power plant’s tariff. Even after the historical debt of Itaipu was settled, the price per kW rose from US$ 16.71 to US$ 19.28. A new increase of 5.99% is expected for 2025.

Cultural Events and Billion-Dollar Transfers

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Ports without drivers and cabins already move containers like automated factories: robotic cranes, autonomous electric vehicles, and software transform giant terminals into 24-hour logistics machines.

They built an entire village of houses with their own hands made of earth and old tires, in the ecovillage Aardehuis, in the Netherlands, where 44 residents live in Earthships that generate almost all the energy, heat with the sun, and treat sewage in their own garden.

Villagers dig a road by hand on a 1,200-meter cliff in China after decades of extreme isolation, creating one of the most dangerous and impressive tunnels in the world.

Malaysia created a tunnel that becomes a road on a normal day and a giant flood drain when rain threatens Kuala Lumpur.
