SUBJECT: RIO DE JANEIRO POL/ECON ROUNDUP FOR SEPT-OCT 2008 
 
SUMMARY 
 
1.  The following are highlights of Political/Economic activity in 
Rio de Janeiro's reporting district during the months of 
September-October 2008. 
 
-Municipal Elections 
-High Profile Murders in Rio de Janeiro 
-Brazil Mining Giant Vale Posts Record Profit Despite Crisis 
-Petrobras Launches First Brazilian-Built Oil Platform 
 
MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS 
 
2. On October 2008, Brazilian cities elected new Mayors.  In Rio de 
Janeiro's consular district, the winners are: 
 
-- Rio de Janeiro, RJ: Eduardo Paes (PMDB Party), 50.8 percent in 
second round run-off. 
 
-- Belo Horizonte, MG: Marcio Lacerda (PSB Party), 59 percent in 
second round run-off. 
 
--Salvador, BA: Joco Henrique de Barradas Carneiro (PMDB Party), 
58.4 percent (reelected) in second round run-off. 
 
-- Aracaju, SE:  Edvaldo Nogueira (PCdoB Party), 51.7 percent in 
first round. 
-- Vitoria, ES: Joco Coser (PT Party), 65 percent in first round. 
 
Around 3,500 federal military troops had been stationed in the city 
of Rio de Janeiro since September to supplement state authorities in 
countering alleged voter intimidation by drug traffickers and 
militias.  For both rounds of voting, no major incidents were 
reported. 
 
HIGH PROFILE MURDERS IN RIO DE JANEIRO 
 
2.  A recent wave of violence against public officials suggests that 
criminals are becoming more brazen in their activities.  On October 
16, Colonel Jose Roberto do Amaral Lourenco, warden of Bangu Prison, 
was killed in broad daylight in a neighborhood of western Rio de 
Janeiro.  Officials stated that he was shot 60 times as he was 
driving his car.  As the administrator of one of Rio's largest 
prisons, Lourenco regularly received multiple death threats.  He was 
the seventh Bangu prison warden to be assassinated in eight years. 
Five days later on October 21, Rio de Janeiro City Councilman 
Alberto Salles was shot five times in his car on a major highway, 
also in daylight.  Salles had recently reported to authorities that 
drug traffickers from Mundial favela in northern Rio were demanding 
weapons in exchange for authorization for him to campaign in their 
community.  Just days later, wealthy supermarket magnate Artur 
Sendas was murdered in his home in the affluent Leblon neighborhood 
- several Consulate officers live within a block or two of the crime 
scene  (note: police have arrested one of the Sendas family drivers 
in connection with the murder).  The state public security apparatus 
is under fire for not ensuring the safety of its officials, and for 
allowing criminality to spill out from the poorer favela areas. 
 
BRAZIL MINING GIANT VALE POSTS RECORD PROFITS DESPITE CRISIS 
 
3. Rio-based Vale do Rio Doce (VALE), the world's largest iron ore 
producer and exporter, posted a record USD 6 billion net profit in 
the third trimester of 2008.  This is a 167 percent increase over 
the same period last year.  Because many of its holdings are outside 
Brazil, the ongoing global international financial crisis 
contributed to Vale's remarkable quarter in a positive way, partly 
due to the U.S. dollar's appreciation against the Brazilian real, 
Vale reported.  The international price increases of iron ore and 
pellets were also a major factor.  Vale's earnings per share reached 
USD 96 cents compared to USD 61 cents per share in same period one 
year ago. 
 
PETROBRAS LAUNCHES FIRST BRAZILIAN-BUILT OIL PLATFORM 
 
4. On October 7, Petrobras launched the first semi-submersible oil 
platform (P-51) built entirely in Brazil.  The platform cost USD 1 
billion and is scheduled to operate in the Marlim Sul field in the 
Campos Basin.  According to Petrobras, when the platform reaches its 
peak operating capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil and 6,000,000 
cubic meters of gas per day in 2010, the P-51 will account for 8 
percent of the domestic oil production.  The P-51 is one of the 
federal government's Growth Acceleration Program (PAC) projects. 
The construction work generated approximately 4,000 direct and 
12,000 indirect jobs, contributing both to the growth of the 
domestic industry and to increase the volume of jobs in the 
country.
