Message from a Brazilian girl who commented on my blog (hummusforthought/2013/06/18/the-mask-of-our-democracy-is-falling-a-letter-from-brazil/) "Hello, I am a Brazilian girl and I’m studying my last year of school. Here in Brazil the hospitals are always crowded and the service is very bad, the government pays a very low salary for teachers and therefore have few teachers and poor education. Public transport also does not offer any security and is always full of people. The Brazilian television media manipulates people and not show the view of the protesters. The government spends all our money at the carnival and at the world cup to show other countries that Brazil is “cool.” Please note, we are not stupid or want to be showing the body, are women and men of respect, fight for our rights and we pay very high taxes. The government constantly increases the rate of public transport and this time were 20 cents. The population is angry with so many problems and still need another 20 cents each of us two to four times per day. We want our rights! The police attack the protesters at the behest of the government and do not lower the rate. We need everyone’s support! Help!"
