The regime's '15,000 jobs' clash with the reality of small businesses
The government claims over 15,000 jobs were created through new ventures in 2026, but testimonies from small businesses and official data paint a picture of informality, underemployment, and struggles to maintain salaries and social security. DIVERGENTES contrasts the official narrative with figures from INIDE and INSS, finding that many of these ventures function as survival mechanisms rather than sources of formal, stable employment.
