Long time no comment...
Well, what...Hello Daniel,<br /><br />Long time no comment...<br /><br />Well, what you describe is the view of the brazilian left, in special that of PT. If you remember, I had warned you against Lula and them way before their true nature was apparent to outsiders. <br /><br />The PT, the same as Chavez & the bolibananas guys, only has a project for retainning power, forever if possible. Because Brazil is institutionally stronger than Venzla we are still able to resist their more anti-democratic urges. Our supreme court (mostly appointed by L&D) still does battle against their most egregious abuses. But Dilma is not much different from Lula, don't be fooled by her more "serious" outlook.<br /><br />I see Pacific Alliance very simpatetically and hope that, one day, a less incomPeTent government might join them.<br /><br />Saudações do Sul,<br /><br />Tony do Rio.
