Analysis: Brazil's mass protests peak, ball in politicians' court

‘after sending the country’s shaken political establishment a loud message that it needs to change its ways’….

I wish Americans were this passionate about freedom, and reigning in the abuses of their government….

Peak? Oh no… this is not like oil production lol… it is not because 1 or 2 million aren’t on the streets things are better … at this point daily multiple small protests across the country to expose the daily criminality, corruption and other absurds are much more effective if you think in the medium or long term… it would even help to create a bad picture for the government about the disproportional size and violence from police force over fewer protesters… army on streets… for what? it turned out ridiculous like the soldiers carring a TV to watch the match… imagine a govern deploying the army because FIFA’s president asked for…

The numbers went out today: Dilma’s approval went from 57% to 30% in 3 weeks(wow)… ofc her popularity was going down slowly over the past months before the protests begun… if was not the confederations cup or the fare rise it would be another trigger…
Over 75% of the population approve the protests… and since Brazil stands for as one of the better examples of democracy in the world… you can see why it is not necessary to ask the president to step down, or the governor, mayor, etc like in Egypt or Turkey, etc… with the prospect of what is going to happen in the next elections pointing over the horizon(and it is covering the entire horizon)… her own party and her allies must be already thinking about the plan B candidate more than in the reforms… PMDB and PT together…mmm the idea (and parties ideology )just does not sound right (lol)…
The protests are not led by unions or any political group nor the poorest part of the population… but by the better educated part of the middle class… ofc even “bolsa familia” has a good collateral effect… soon the poorest part of the population (not having to worry about the next meal) will discover that are more things in this life than mere sub existance…
Now i believe Brazil is in direction of a developed country… it was following Mexico before…

For the first time in it’s history, with Lula and Dilma Brazil had a governing power which was working not only to maintain the position of the rich but for the whole population, principally for the poor to get them up from poverty to have a more equal, stronger, healthier society what is necessary for any country to develop itself as a whole. It was against the individual interests of the elite who obviously suffered attacks against their criminal maffia businesses like the physicians who are agains the arrival of foreign doctors when the country not even 60% of the number necessary physicians has to attend the population. It’s totally understandable as nobody likes competion. For them a patient is only client as they are not doctors but businessmen dealing with lifes for money. And money is the first and most important, life is only the second, pardon the third as the second is rather cinema or going to the beach. There are lots of other monopolistic maffia businesses which are started to be blown up by the government while getting the country on it’s way to develop. The upper-class didn’t stand it any more and now is getting back his positions. Just one more of the outnumbered wrongfulnesses of this beastly world.
