Carlos Alberto Sardenberg leaves Globo after 16 years.

247 - Journalist Carlos Alberto Sardenberg left TV Globo this Thursday (10). A political and economic commentator on Jornal da Globo, he debuted on the channel in 2006. 

Sardenberg also worked at the pay-TV channel GloboNews since 1998, and at CBN radio, where he will continue working.

Read below the statement from Globo's director of journalism, Ali Kamel, to employees:

The commentator, whom open TV audiences first encountered in 2006, was already successful on Globonews in 1998, when he joined the channel at the invitation of the then director, Alice-Maria. He debuted on the channel as a reporter for various daily editions of "Em Cima da Hora" and "Jornal das 10." He interviewed businesspeople and professionals from the financial market. He quickly stood out and became part of the channel's commentary team. He adapted very well to his new role and also began to shine with his economic analyses, especially on J10. Then, in 2009, came the proposal for a triple anchoring system on J10, with André Trigueiro in Rio and Carlos Monforte in Brasília. Another successful move. He gave J10 the right perspective of the country's largest economic center, with relevance and simplicity. He was instrumental in the team that formed to create another product for the channel: "GloboNews Em Pauta," a news program that emerged in 2010 with a different approach to the programming schedule: the main topics of the day discussed in a different and relaxed way, a kind of GloboNews roundtable. Once again, Sardenberg adapted perfectly to the format, expanding his area of ​​expertise, commenting on politics and behavior, in addition to the economy. Versatility that we also see on CBN at lunchtime.

Among the historical events he covered on GloboNews, it's worth highlighting the recent rise in fuel prices in this difficult year of 2022, the global real estate crisis in 2008, and the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on Brazil's financial health. Despite his soft-spoken manner, lightness, and serenity, he is firm when necessary. This was the case when he analyzed Brazil's delay in seeking vaccines during the resurgence of cases of the disease in Brazil in December 2020, which could have prevented the worsening of the already established economic crisis. He was emphatic during his commentary on "Em Pauta": "We don't have the vaccine. And we are also starting to withdraw emergency aid. So, we are in a dramatic situation. We have the worst of both problems." With the same firmness, he addressed the approval of the PEC (Proposed Constitutional Amendment) on court-ordered payments in 2021, which circumvents the spending cap by exceeding the expenditure limit. According to Sardenberg's precise analysis, this is a dangerous combination for the economy, creating "chaos in public administration."

At the same time, he had the right dose of acidity when the subject allowed. Like when, on the “Jornal das 10,” he spoke about the escalation of inflation in 2022: “Inflation is spreading. And, when we wonder what the main cause of inflation is, the Argentinian economist Roberto Frenkel used to say: 'It's the same as arriving in front of a body riddled with bullets and trying to figure out which was the fatal shot.' In other words: you'll never find out.”
