Is it me or do the major countries there seem to fluctuate as to who is right wing and who is left wing every decade or so?
I don’t know enough about the region but I thought Brasil had a lousy government only a little while ago.
I love this new guy.
It’s safe to say since the 1950s....Brazil has gone from government to government, in a crisis stage over the economy...with each change of government bringing in a new left-leaning team with ‘gifts’ for the general public.
It’s also safe to say that over the past thirty years....criminal behavior, gang violence, drugs...have become the ‘norm’ in Brazil. Most of the metropolitan or urban areas have well-to-do neighborhoods only by hiring out private guards. If you bring up any discussion with Brazilians....they will all say that corruption within the government (decades long) has made the public question just about everything that occurs politically.
This guy and his party have probably five years to show some dynamic change, or another ‘gift’ candidate/party will appear and progress onto the next chaos.
It would serve the US well to partner up with Brazil...develop more economic ties, motivate the typical Brazilian to be pro-commerce, and downsize the amount of corruption going on.
One thing for sure is Bolsonaro has a big mouth. He is a conservative populist and saying a lot of good things but yet to deliver.
Another thing suspicious about him he is too focused on corruption by previous administrations.
I understand why it is a big thing in the countries like Brasil but hystory shows that anti-corruption crusaders make poor leaders.
It is a sort of hope and change dope although from a different angle.
And the next administration will expose his corruption too.
Yes, yes they do. Brazil is flaky. It is going through a good period now. The country is run from Brasilia of course but the representation is composed of industrialists from the South that are European like and near aboriginals from the north that sometimes seem barely out of the stone age. Then there are the masses that live in the favelas and survive by the law of fang and claw.
Brazil is flaky.
