Brazil: The State
Within
A succession of scandals overwhelms
the Brazilian nation, from lying politicians to pitiful judgments. That is a shame because Brazil is a great country of
generous people.
But while the United States of America
were civilized by
"Pioneers", Brazil was colonized by "Bandeirantes".
Bandeirantes meaning people who wanted to make an easy fortune, overnight, in the name of "auri sacra
fames" (gold fever). "Bandeirantes", in present day, mean
all sorts of corruption. As they say in
Brazil, "jeito brasileiro de levar vantagem
em tudo" (Brazilian way to take advantage of
everything). This is an
enormous national deformation.
The Brazilian people find grace in everything, even in their own misfortune.
In Brazil exists many opposites
within the same country. There is a highly
technological Brazil,
but also have an extreme illiterate population and a deeply
deplorable Public Education system. There are first class
Medical fields, however at the same time exists a hideous Public
Health care system and so on.
Brazil is a rich country with an
immoral society. The social injustices in Brazil are of Amazon dimensions. Brazil is
a rich country and a poor country. In Brazil things work more or less for
the wealthy and categorically do not work for the poor. There is no justice for
the poor people in Brazil
and almost no human and social rights. Even today we have slavery in Brazil as well
as child prostitution. Today we still have farmers killing indigenous populations and missionaries. In
Brazil
often very poor women have given birth on the sidewalk, in the street and even
on the lawn in front of the hospitals that do not hospitalized them. This is
the real Brazil, this is Brazil’s
Real (currency). There are many "Brazils"
in a vilified, assaulted Brazil.
At the core of
all Brazilian problems is corruption.
Corruption is in the Three
Branches because it is outside of them too. Corruption
is in the Executive Branch. Corruption is in the Legislature.
Corruption is in the Judiciary. This is the major challenging Brazil will have to pass to genuinely
build a respectable nation.
We must make a renovation
in the entire political system.
Starting with the electronic voting
proven so vulnerable to fraud. Social programs that encourage poverty with domination of the voting system for the perpetuation
of power. The old formula of "bread and
circuses" as "verbi gratia" exists in the Brazil World Cup.
Billions and billions of dollars spent instead of being applied correctly in order to make the celebration of the global football
industry of Fifa. Worse than this, promoting egregious violations of Human Rights, thousands and
thousands of families evicted
arbitrarily, to building stadiums that will be all for naught, except for the real estate speculation of
unscrupulous exploiters of misery.
As Congressman Romario says,
the famous Brazilian soccer player,
this is the biggest robbery in the
history of Brazil. Well, I must confess I am not sure. Actually Brazil has been attacked by unspeakable
interests for the last five centuries.
Democracy currently lives with the rule of non-Rights, where an
international drug dealer, with an arrest warrant issued in several countries, including Brazil, sits next to
the President of the Republic of Brazil, in the place of her honor
guests in the presidential box, attending
the World Cup opening, while
Brazilian people have no schools,
have no hospitals, and are the subject of brutal beatings within the framework of
legitimate protests in a representative democracy
as stated in the Brazilian Constitution.
