Brazil's Government is Falling Apart...and it's Good News?
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
During the presidency of Lula Da Silva, billions of dollars in bribes were taken to allow construction companies to overcharge the government-owned oil company, Petrobras. Now, Brazil has corruption, but it's actually pretty good for a developing country. But the people of Brazil have come to expect more, and they have been left down. Current president, Dilma Rousseff, was chairwoman of Petrobras during the period of corruption, but no one knows whether Lula or Dilma were involved or aware. But Lula was under investigation before Rousseff appointed him to be her chief of staff, a move that means he can no longer be prosecuted by a normal court. I think this whole thing speaks very highly of Brazil. A reckoning had to come, and I'm pleased the citizens are holding the government accountable. However, I can't stop seeing parallels between the awful partisan situation here in the U.S. and the lack of skepticism people in this story have when it comes to believing awful things about their political opponents. Using this scandal to clean up Brazil must be done, but using it to score political points or gain power is going to rip the country apart. This is an epic story, and no one knows where it ends. Whether Rousseff retains power and who gets elected once the house is fully cleaned out will say a lot about how this very young democracy handles its economic and cultural growth when people's perceptions are controlled largely by social media. I think there are many good things in Brazil's future, but leaders will have to do more than fight for power. They will have to actually lead.

Você está muito bem informado, aqui no Brasil infelizmente temos uma manipulação em massa muito grande, uma das grandes fonte de manipulação é a rede de Tv Globo, faça uma pesquisa de como a Tv globo cresceu e funciona, irá se surpreender, esse país não é nosso, pesquise sobre as matérias retirada daqui a preço de banana e os donos das grandes empresas, os pobres só não é mais explorados por causa do PT, se o Brasil fosse virar socialistas muitos países e GRANDES países como EUA perderia muito por isso não tem possibilidade disso acontecer, por isso muitos países ficam de olho na nosso política e apoiando muitas corrupções para que não haja possibilidade de socialismo, enquanto isso pagamos todos os escandalos e as riquezas levada para fora

Dislike por dizer que nas cidades grandes moram gente branca e conservadora e pessoas pobres nativas e afro descendentes sendo mais liberais! Que conceito mais esdrúxulo e típico de esquerda querer dividir o povo em guetos e atribuir todos os problemas ao embate entre eles!

Make a new updated video about the current situation of Brazil, this time explain the points made by the "leftists" and people who call the impeachment a coup, and the ones who support the new government.

this guy knows whats going on XD SADFULLY she was impeached and now we have to deal with TEMER selling all of the gas/petroleo we found in brazil, along with making impossible for you to ever retire. the operation to get politicians ''lava-jato'' hs come to pretty much a halt, the only reason for it was really to take DILMA out. seriously, ppl are blaming PT for everything and they arent saints guys, but the global recession is hitting all of the world obviously and ppl think there would be political ways for brazil to not suffer it ==) wake up really. and next time, try not to vote PT OR PSDB. think outside the fucking box.
