Millions of Brazilians Fall Back into Poverty https://apnews.com/89afd8d964984eb69678129e7d4a16cc https://apnews.com/89afd8d964984eb69678129e7d4a16cc "Meanwhile, budgetary pressures and the conservative policies of President Michel Temer are translating into cuts in social services. Among those hit is the Bolsa Familia — Family Allowance — program that gives small subsidies each month to qualifying low-income people. It’s credited with much of the poverty reduction during Brazil’s boom decade."

  This hardly means that the plan is to "cut the little social net" like you said. Also, couple of paragraphs bellow: > "An Associated Press review of Bolsa Familia data found coverage declined 4 percentage points between May 2016, when Temer became acting president, and May of this year. Part of that may be due to a crackdown on alleged fraud that started late last year. Temer’s administration announced it had found “irregularities” in the records of 1.1 million recipients — about 8 percent of the 14 million people who receive the benefit. The infractions ranged from fraud to families that were earning above $150 a month, the cutoff to receive the benefit."

    Temer’s administration has cut or blocked 1.1 million families from the flagship social program Bolsa Familia, or Family Purse. The program provides a small income to poor families who send their children to school and keep them under a doctor’s supervision, according to government figures. Data released to The Associated Press after a request was made under Brazil’s freedom of information law shows that most cities affected by cuts to the Family Purse program were based in the poorest regions of Brazil, the north and northeast. Those areas are strongholds of Temer’s adversaries, including former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. https://www.apnews.com/8be796a4692442b8befc65fa0c66d823 https://www.apnews.com/8be796a4692442b8befc65fa0c66d823

    Brazilians, and especially students, have reason to be angry. PEC 55 will effectively freeze social spending by fixing budgetary increases to social-assistance programs to inflation, rather than GDP, for the next 20 years, severely impacting public health and education. The United Nations’ special rapporteur for extreme poverty and human rights, Philip Alston, condemned the measure, saying that it “will place Brazil in a socially retrogressive category all of its own.” https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/20753/brazil-s-cuts-to-higher-education-dash-hopes-for-social-mobility https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/20753/brazil-s-...

    Brazil’s Ministry of Education has officially announced the end of the Science Without Borders mobility programme The programme had sent about 100,000 Brazilian students for studies abroad as of early 2015, and a previous Brazilian administration had announced plans for a further 100,000 scholarships through 2018 However, funding for Science Without Borders was effectively suspended in late-2015, and this month’s announcement confirms the programme will not continue http://monitor.icef.com/2017/04/brazil-shutting-science-without-borders/ http://monitor.icef.com/2017/04/brazil-shutting-science-with...
