For those who do not know what is happening in Brazil, this is a translated text of the American CNN: "What REALLY is behind the demonstrations in Brazil? The protests taking place in Brazil go beyond the increase of R $ 0.20 in the price of public transport. Brazil is currently experiencing a collapse in its general infrastructure. There are problems with ports, airports, public transport, health and education. Brazil is not a poor country and the tax rates are extremely high. Brazilians see no reason for an infrastructure so bad when there is so much wealth so highly taxed. In the capital, people lose up to four hours a day in traffic, either in cars or on crowded public transportation which is really very low quality. The Brazilian government has taken remedial measures to control inflation rates and stirring just have not realized that the paradigm needs to understand an approach more focused on infrastructure. At the same time, the government is playing on a smaller scale what Argentina did some time ago: avoiding austerity and providing an increase based on the interests of the Selic rate, which is leading to high inflation and low growth. Besides the issue of infrastructure, there are several corruption scandals that remain without trial, and the cases being tried tend to end with the acquittal of the defendants. The biggest corruption scandal in the history of Brazil finally ended with the conviction of the defendants and now the government is trying to reverse the trial using maneuvering through constitutional amendments unbelievable: one PEC 37, which will destroy the investigative powers of the promoters of the public ministry delegating the responsibility of the Federal Police investigation entirely. More, submit another proposal seeks Supreme Court decisions Brazilian Congress - a complete violation of the three powers. These are, in fact, the revolt of the Brazilians. The protests are not merely isolated movements, riots or unified left-wing, as part of the Brazilian press says. There is a teenage rebellion. It is the uprising of the intellectualized portion of society that want to put an end to these problems in Brazil. A young middle class, which has always been dissatisfied with political oblivion, now "awakened" - the word of the protesters. "
