Lately a big amount of protests and riots have taken the streets of the main brazilian cities. The causes of the protests are several; the increase of the bus tax from R$3,00 Real (1,0274 €) to R$ 3,20 Real (1,0959 €) was only the trigger to wake up a rebellion.
With a poor health care service, one of the worst education in the world and high taxes (it has one of the higher taxes in the world), the protests that are taking place here were inevitable.
The moviment has surrounded governmental entities everywhere, and they've even climbed the roof of " Brasilia's Plateau ". (in the absence of bastilles...)
We already completed our first goal: to reduce the price of the passage (it's still expensive, but it's a small victory). But the government used this reducion as a pretext to cut investiment in health and education (like " we don't have money, we have to take from another sources " ).
As for the World Cup, they've spent over 30 billions Reals to build stages.
After years of corruption in our government, i think Brazil has finally woken up. Tomorrow we are going to claim what they deny us: our rights as citizens.
This video can show you guys some of the things i've talked about.
If you want to support us, don't come to the World Cup. Most of it's money will go to FIFA, and the rest, back to politicians hands.
Fight for your rights.
Quase tudo para dizer a verdade. O problema mais recente foi na educação. Os professores fizeram uma greve no tempo dos exames de Português e o ministro da educação, que é um casmurro do pior, não quis adiar os exames. Portanto só 10% dos professores ainda estavam em serviço para as vigias dos exames, E isso não era o suficiente para todos, O resultado foram vários alunos revoltados e forçar as entradas da escola para tentar impedir os outros de fazer o exame para que todos fizessem no mesmo dia com igualdade. No fundo: Uma grande confusão que só andou nas noticias durante dias.
