You mean that capitalist fight? Well, it does not change anything. Read more, get rid of them.

I believe that the motives that led me to be removed from my position as president—and in what was really a coup d’état, because there was no real high crime and misdemeanor in my case—I could attribute this to three motives. One, which is more important than all the others, has to do with great misogyny. And for the first time, a woman was elected president. This misogynist treatment has to do with how men and women are seen and described in politics. Women are harsh and insensitive; men are strong and sensitive. Women, when working intensely, are considered obsessive-compulsive, whereas the man is considered a hard worker. So, all of these uses of instruments to attack a woman were mobilized against me, in addition to the many low-quality words.

But what led to the impeachment were two major things. One, they sought to keep—they, the coup mongers from the PMDB and PSDB, two political parties in Brazil—they were trying to keep the corruption investigations from reaching them, so they said, "We’re going to get rid of her in order to keep the investigations from continuing and for this thing to continue."

In addition, we had won four elections in a row with a government program that was clearly against many of the trends that were in vogue in the United States and Europe, which were exacerbating inequality. We were fighting inequality. And we had secured some very important results. We took Brazil off of the U.N.’s map of poverty, and we lifted up some 86 million from extreme poverty. We were not selling our lands without any limitations to foreigners.

It is always fun to read left opportunists telling about excuse reasons why things happened as they must have happened.

Also very good read for anyone not understanding "obsession with ruling classes" :-)

And the government is using that trend to start a dictatorship. We now have Rio de Janeiro under military federal intervention, enforced by decree. It's not just some kind of reinforcement, as by now all the security affairs of that state bypass the civil office and goes to a army general with powers akin and above the Governor. And Rio isn't the worst case of security here.

One day after that a federal security task force was sent to another state, Ceará, to make intel and "preemptive" operations (basically, spec ops). Judging by the tide it will be escalating task forces, Law and Order military operations and military government intervention until all the country will be, direct or indirect, under state of exception.

And we are months before presidential election, maybe it would be a hard coup, maybe it will be all "normal", but any results will be state of exception anyway.

BTW, there's evidence of some things being fabricated "on purpose". The security plan for the rio carnival was insane, aka, misplacing a huge number of police far away from where it was expected to be needed. That gave a social and media fact needed to the intervention right away.

Nationwide truckers' strike over soaring fuel prices strike entered its fifth day on Friday - completely ignoring a Thursday night agreement, Sao Paulo declared a state of emergency due to the lack of vital resources for its more than 12 million residents.

President Michel Temer deployed national security forces to unblock roads amid warnings that supply disruptions risk causing a public calamity.

“I have actioned the federal security forces to unblock highways and I am asking governors to do the same,” Temer said in a televised address on Friday. “We will not let the population do without its primary needs.”

"Those who act in a radical manner are harming the population and they will be held responsible."

Thus, is a very smart move from upper class rulers, to motivate certain moves for their benefit.

I wonder at what extent is the people willing to wistand. Brazilians are crazy.

Vitaliy its a world crysis, a wide trend. The problem is there is no aparent solution. Until desperation and union comes together.

@RoadsidePicnic

Of course it is now just economic demand out of desperate situation.

And you need really smart and organized people to turn it in proper way. But such strike has one good quality - it shows how much society actually depend on real working people.

Brazil faced a deepening crisis as the nation’s truckers refused to abandon a crippling strike despite a series of concessions from the government and other workers threatened to join the movement. 

For now all going not bad.

The Brazilian Truck Drivers Association – a key union that claims to represent 600,000 drivers – even said the strike was over. But truckers have yet to return to work.

This is how slowly voice of masses rise.

Among the truckers in the Régis Bittencourt, there was no sign of abandoning the strike. They said they had organized themselves spontaneously across the country through WhatsApp and social media, such as Facebook — not through the unions, which they distrusted. Large banners attached to their trucks said: “The unions don’t represent us”.

Also good, as ruling class usually is in very good relations with all big unions.

Business and investors media talk about strike spread.

"On Tuesday, the paralizations spread to new sectors [...] The Sao Paulo Motoboys Union (Sindimoto) called for stoppages throughout the country against the rise in ga prices, the teachers of private schools in the city of São Paulo decided to start a new paralization, [about the collective convention], Metroviários in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, also promised to reduce the operation of the subway from this Tuesday. By commencing an indefinite strike, the union claims that the passage will not be increased [...] The Workers' Union of Road and Collective Urban Transport of Manaus and the Amazon (STTRM) also indicated a stoppage for today. The municipal buses in Florianópolis should also stop in support of the truck drivers [...] The tankers will strike a warning of 72 hours from Wednesday, 30 [they claim the] reducing of fuel prices, maintaining jobs, the resumption of refinery production, the end of imports of petroleum products, and the resignation of Pedro Parente from the company's presidency. As of this Tuesday, teachers and employees of the University of São Paulo Paulo (USP) and the University of Campinas (Unicamp) also start a strike [...] Yesterday, dockworkers working in the Port of Santos, representatives of the unions of Oil Tankers, Graphers, Construction Workers and Judiciaries joined a march in support of truckers , in the port city.

Government Secretary Carlos Marun assured on Monday that the price of diesel in the pumps of the gas stations would be 0.46 real lower already on Tuesday. It would, in theory, allow the truckers to return home permanently. But it may not be enough for the country to return to normalcy." (Exame - business directed magazine)

Far-right presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro went out on a limb to support a truckers strike that paralysed Brazil and forced the government to reinstate costly fuel subsidies, and the strategy may have helped his chances of beating one of several pro-business reform candidates in October's election.

World of paradoxes and cheats :-) This is that happens if you have no proper party and leaders.

By the way, since last year TCU and ANCINE have pactuated to cooperate. While the TCU appointed risks and errors, it recognized the relevancy of the Agency as public policies instrument and the challenges to operate in that segment. ANCINE in their part, accepted and validated the previous audit in the media, compromising with the requests and urging that the cooperation could help it better make to it's goals (to strenght the national industry, to foment the national production, to foment the development of new agents, etc).

So, that move is kind of 180° turn from previous positions of TCU.

"John J. Sullivan, the USA Vice-Secretary of State, realized a visit in Brasília in 22 of may, accompanied by the Adjunct secretary for Economic and Business Affairs Manisha Singh, and for the interim Adjunct secretary for Occidental Hemisphere, Francisco Palmieri.

By occasion of the meeting, the Ambassador and the Vice-Secretary launched the Permanent Forum of Security Brazil-USA [...] based in the strengthening of the collaboration between the organs and agencies of public security of both countries.

The Forum will be coordinated by Itamaraty (External Relations Ministry) and the U.S. Department of State and has the objective of create favorable conditions for inter-agencies articulation and the development of operational strategies around six predefined themes: narcotics trafficking, weapons trafficking, cybernetic crimes, money laundering and financial crimes, terrorism and institutional cooperation.

The Ambassador and the Vice-Secretary also discussed other priority objectives in the bilateral relations, according the "10 points agenda Brazil-USA", like commerce and investment, spacial cooperation and defense.

BTW, some places in Brazil already have fielded mass surveillance with facial recognition (of everyone) in gatherings and events.
