Here's a look at some of the top political stories emerging from Brazil today. From tax policy to legal battles, there's a lot happening in the Brazilian political landscape.
Guide to Tackle Tax Inequality for Black Women
The Socioeconomic Studies Institute (Inesc) is set to launch a crucial guide titled 'Inequality in the Pocket - Fiscal Justice for Brazilian Women' on March 12. This guide aims to shed light on the disproportionate tax burden faced by black women in Brazil and advocate for fiscal justice. 
The guide will likely analyze current tax policies and propose solutions to create a more equitable system. This initiative comes at a critical time as Brazil grapples with persistent inequality.

Bolsonaro Advisor Seeks Moraes as Witness
Filipe Martins, a former advisor to Jair Bolsonaro, who has been implicated in an alleged coup plot by the Prosecutor General's Office, is planning a bold move. He intends to include Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) as one of his witnesses in his defense. This request has raised eyebrows and is sure to add another layer of complexity to the already high-profile case. 
It remains to be seen how the STF will respond to this unusual request.
Justice System Under Scrutiny
A reader's commentary published recently highlights concerns about the consistency and impartiality of the Brazilian justice system. The reader argues that decisions are often influenced by partisan political ideology rather than strict adherence to the law. The commentary specifically mentions the case involving Bolsonaro and the application of methods previously criticized during the Lava Jato investigation. 
This critique echoes broader concerns about the politicization of the judiciary in Brazil.
In a related development, Deputy Janones has reached a non-prosecution agreement with the Attorney General's Office (PGR) regarding the 'rachadinha' inquiry. The agreement, valued at R$157 thousand, requires approval from the Supreme Federal Court and aims to close the case involving alleged misappropriation of funds. This agreement comes after months of investigation and negotiation.
Bolsonaro's Next Move: Amnesty on the Horizon?
Finally, sources close to Jair Bolsonaro suggest a shift in his strategy, hinting that amnesty is still a possibility despite previous assumptions. Allies of the former president are reportedly confident that amnesty will be granted, signaling a potential new chapter in the ongoing saga surrounding Bolsonaro's political future. Whether this will come to pass remains to be seen. The coming months will be crucial.
