The situation in Brazil, part 3

If you follow my posts, surely you realized that I am an optimist. I try always to point a positive view to the problems of my country. Therefore I will start with the good aspects of the situation in Brazil: life goes on normally, people went to work, they laughed and fed. The situation here reminds me of the day after the finale of a soccer championship, two teams played, one won, the other lost. There were even fireworks!

That is the only positive content I can summon from this situation. The choice of the image of a cemetery is not random, we mourn democracy in Brazil.  President Dilma Roussef was suspended, being subject of an impeachment process which will take up to 180 days. She is being accused of delaying the refund to official banks of the money used to pay social benefits to the poor. The accusation is laughable because every other ruler in Brazil uses and used this expedient, with less noble intent.

In fact the conservative forces in Brazil never accepted the rule of the workers party in Brazil. This is not new, the same was done with the populist president Getulio Vargas (who resorted to suicide as a hilarious way to exert revenge on his foes), President Juscelino Kubitschek, and, of course, President Jo?o Goulart. They were all accused of being corrupts and they all are considered heroes in present Brazil.

If you don' t understand Portuguese, be glad, you were spared from the horror show of the speeches that our parliamentarians gave in the process. Talking about them, if you meet one of them, take care of your wallet. Sure, there are a few honest ones, but pay attention. Don't be fooled, this process was not a fight against corruption, it was a fight of the corrupts against honest people, and this is clear when we see the ministers appointed by vice-president Temer. Hard years will follow us, but there is always a solution: the vote.

Quick update: just as a proof of what I wrote above, today audio between Senator Romero Jucá, the interim minister of the Budget and a top executive of Petrobras, leaked. He says with no possible doubt about the interpretation, that the objective of President Dilma's impeachment is to stop corruption investigation before it could reach top names of the opposition (members of the present interim government). The scandal is very big here and this could be the turning point of this entire history.
