> People in Brazil are rioting on the streets right now because the current president gave immunity to the former president, accused of huge corruption and money laundering allegations.
you don't have that right.
Current government was the first to allow the federal police to go after corrupt politicians, even the ones in office.
that triggered a chain reaction that scared a lot of people (since you pointed out, almost everyone in government is corrupt to some level). Those more corrupt powers (e.g. the candidate that lost to the current president was a drug trafficker) started a bogus impeachment protest that hardly represent what is on the streets. You have manifestations pro-impeachment with 500 people, and against impeachment with 20,000 people, then the press only report about the pro-impeachment one.
What is more interesting? all that seems to be funded by US money. And remember that former and current presidents where the first to forbid american companies to explore Oil in Brazil. It all comes full circle with the article subject.
- diego_moita 11y agoMost of what you wrote is false. > Current government was the first to allow the federal police to go after corrupt politicians, even the ones in office. Even the dictatorship went after corrupt politicians, look at the story of Moises Lupion. > the candidate that lost to the current president was a drug trafficker That is a lie, part of the mudfight propaganda from last election. > a bogus impeachment protest that hardly represent what is on the streets The pro-impeachment protests are the biggest in Brazil's history, far greater than the pro-government protests. Check DataFolha numbers, the most respected Brazilian stats agency on these issues. > all that seems to be funded by US money. Bullshit.
- profeta 11y agogreat arguments there. specially the closing one. also not sure what you are comparing from that fellow on your first vague argument. He was a Governor of a lowly state. what's the comparison to president or the dictators? but well, i think you at least gain some points for not being on the dictatorship-denial group like the other pro-impeachment people...
