There are certain countries that fall well. Brazil, for example. Synonymous with football, and garotas do corpo dourado, do sol de Ipanema… all Of a sudden, that great country elects as president, Jair Bolsonaro. A ultra in the country of samba! A carca, a largemouth, a macho, an ex-military claiming the benefits of the military dictatorship. Take a look!
How is this possible? Campaign dirty, fake news, bad opponent, the support of the evangelicals. All of these justifications are true. But it is not essential. What has led to such subject to the power is the surfeit citizen and the failure of the parties to the system.
The insecurity in the first place. The great problem of all America. In 2017 there were 64.000 homicides in Brazil (208 million people). It under the scale to Rio de Janeiro, 12 million, 15 homicides a day. Do a comparison? In the Community of Madrid, with half of the population, the most violent year did not reach 100. The police is also trigger happy, killed 5000 people in 2017.
The corruption comes later. The judicial campaign Lava Jato (lavage express) undertaken by the judge Sergio Moro, who Bolsonaro wants to bring the Supreme, has demolished the political class. The historic leader of the left, the ex-president Lula, meets 12 years in prison. His successor Dilma Rousseff was deposed by the Congress in a case not related to corruption. Turn to his vice-president, Michel Fear, which is allied with the centre-right. And escaped by the hair of his dismissal by the Congress. They accused him of money laundering and belonging to a criminal organization.
Add to this lapidary evil government. The unemployment rate is rising, the currency has lost this year a third of its value. Doctors, retirees, police officers and teachers charged with delay.
Someone who was not a participant in all of this and denounce it, I had to find an echo among a population decimated, distressed and angry. Bolsonaro has a 27-years as a deputy. But their insignificance has allowed him to be presented as a novelty. And has wiped. We can cry because the brazilians have elected a sexist, homophobic, carca, and nostalgic of the dictatorship. But you should know that in Brazil, as in Venezuela, what does succeed to populism is the failure of the democrats who (mis) govern and steal.
