Brazil's opposition candidate to the presidency Geraldo AlckminThe first big soccer event in Brazil after the disappointing performance of the national team in the world cup in Germany was the two-leg final (July 17 and 26) of the Brazilian Cup, an important competition at national level, played between two Rio de Janeiro giants - Flamengo and Vasco - at the Maracanã stadium. It was a sobering and revealing return to the country's reality.

great article !
written by ch.c., August 17, 2006
Very well explained. Brazilian politicians know how to spend money....by creating more well paid civil servants jobs. They also know how to take their due "dime" through corruption.....despite having higher salaries and perks than their peers in many developed nations......much much wealthier than your own country !
Funny.....isnt it ?
But they dont know and dont care to invest for the benefits of the society....as explained in the article. In fact Lula and his government invests only 0,4 %, education and infrastructure Yyesssss.....what a shame ! If some disagrees....just refer to the numbers provided by Alckmin !

Lula is also proud of his achievements during his mandate......by being responsible for Brazil to have the lowest economic growth of ALL developing nations ! Yeahhhhhh.....proud of his failures !

And sorry but Brazil is not democracy....knowing that everything is bought......including the votes.....!
Brazil wants only to appear as a democracy !
A messy situation....in a s**tty country !
Funny that the Brazilian society will vote to elect or re-elect the people who have stolen their money !!!!!! Not much common sense.
Brazil is not democracy....Is That So?

"who until now has been successful in distancing himself from the wave of scandal that dominated 2005"

Wishfull thinking. Lula was investigated more than any president before him (partly because he's so hated by the elite) and came out clean. But that doesn't stop the elite from dragging his name in the mud, does it. Too bad. You lose. Lula will win. Viva Lula.

Cacique

you sure you know what you're talking about? I mean the elite dragging Lula in the mud? With all the corruption among his government, he slipping from charging someone of his own party guity, he himself did the job afterall!

I voted for Lula in 2003 and PT in every election I participated since I was 18 and didn't like what I saw when he finally, finally was elected. He was a frog for us who believed in PT.

But the truth is that Lula and PT had already shown a bit of their character, but the problem was that many of us wasn't aware of these facts. A great the biggest deception for me this rat Lula!
