Miracle: Brazilians are finally rising against bad politicians! A Brazilian spring may finally come. It started as students riots in some major cities, against small increases in the price (and the bad quality) of public transportation. Now, this movement is spreading accross the country, gaining steam, and widening the discussion about the nation´s challenges. We Brazilians are fed-up of corruption on one side (state-of-the art stadiums at absurd prices, with politicians diverging money and raising their own salaries), and lack of action towards tackling our major problems on the other side (education, health, infrastructure, public security). For the first time in our history, big crowds (youngsters with smart strategies agreed on social networks) are closing avenues, and on the verge of invading major government institutions (city halls, state halls, even the national congress, ... targets symbolizing the bad politics and bad government that we are having for so long). It will probably put many important themes in discussion, and force the politicians to rethink their behavior from now on, exactly when the eyes of the world are on the country.
