This opinion piece by journalist Mario Sergio Conti analyzes the current staging of Samuel Beckett's play 'Endgame' ('Fim de Partida') in São Paulo, featuring actor Marco Nanini. The article explores the play's themes of stagnation and post-apocalyptic existence, referencing the dynamic between the paralyzed Hamm and his servant Clov. Conti draws heavily on Roberto Schwarz's 2024 essay 'Adorno/Beckett,' which examines the relationship between German critic Theodor Adorno and Beckett. The text highlights how the play, written in French to purify language, depicts a claustrophobic world of 'scattered debris' after an unnamed catastrophe. It discusses Adorno's interpretation of the work as a reflection of shattered human experience and the explosion of post-WWII expectations. The article characterizes the play not as a tragedy, but as an absurd black comedy that exposes the specters of bourgeois reason surviving the triumph over fascist barbarism. Ultimately, it frames the production as a commentary on moving forward when progress seems impossible, describing the characters as living in the toxic waste of an inevitable future.

The Brazilian government, under President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is preparing to launch a R$30 billion financing program aimed at helping Uber and taxi drivers renew their vehicles. Scheduled for announcement on May 19 in São Paulo, the initiative will be formalized through a Provisional Measure and involves the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES).

São Paulo Councilor Amanda Paschoal (PSOL) has formally requested the Regional Electoral Prosecutor's Office to declare Regina Nunes, wife of Mayor Ricardo Nunes and a pre-candidate for state deputy, ineligible for eight years. The request, filed on May 15, 2026, stems from allegations that a municipal civil servant from the Department of Human Rights was employed to produce social media content for Regina Nunes during official work hours. Reports indicate the employee, Breno de Souza Santos, accompanied the First Lady on pre-campaign events while receiving a monthly salary from the city. Although São Paulo City Hall denied the claims, labeling them as persecution, and announced the employee's dismissal, evidence suggested his involvement since February. Paschoal argues this constitutes an abuse of political power and a violation of electoral laws prohibiting public agents from participating in campaigns. The councilor seeks fines, the revocation of any potential election victory, and an investigation into administrative improbity, asserting that the use of public resources created an unfair advantage in the electoral process.

Electricity concessionaire Enel has formally argued to Brazil's National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) that the administrative process threatening its concession in São Paulo is null and void. In a 119-page defense, the Italian company contends that its service indicators for millions of customers in São Paulo's capital and metropolitan region exceed the national average. This legal maneuver follows Aneel's initiation of proceedings on April 7, 2026, after years of scrutiny regarding service quality and successive blackouts. Notably, a major outage in December 2025 left 4.4 million properties without power for over a week. Aneel criticized Enel's response as having low productivity and insufficient maintenance. However, Enel disputes these findings, alleging procedural defects and bias, claiming Aneel predetermined the outcome to break the contract. The company argues that the agency violated the principle of impersonality by adopting contradictory criteria. This dispute stems from ongoing issues since 2023, raising concerns about the future of Enel's concession in one of Brazil's most critical economic regions.

Supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro in São Paulo have expressed dissatisfaction with Governor Tarcísio de Freitas following his initial response to a scandal involving Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. The controversy stems from reports that Flávio negotiated directly with Daniel Vorcaro, the imprisoned former head of the liquidated Banco Master, to secure at least R$61 million in financing for a biographical film about Jair Bolsonaro. Although Governor Tarcísio defended Flávio by noting his prompt clarifications, he described the matter as concerning and implied that further explanations were necessary. This stance was interpreted by Bolsonaro allies as an attempt to distance the governor from the senator. Tensions escalated when Tarcísio’s team attempted to cancel a scheduled meeting with Flávio, though it was ultimately maintained. The scandal has sparked calls among Bolsonaro’s parliamentary group for a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into Banco Master, despite limited support in Congress due to implicated centrist members. The incident highlights growing friction within the right-wing coalition in Brazil as legal and financial scrutiny intensifies around the Bolsonaro family's associates.
