DEMOCRACY, THE WINDS OF PASSIONS
Brazil goes through unusual
moments in this trajectory in search of insertion in the world political and
economic scenario. The winds that plague the contemporary world are still
blowing in the direction of a realignment and hegemony among the great
continental powers.
For the moment, what is perceived
in the mists of change is only omens and uncertainties, with speculation,
mainly due to the recent victory of Republican Donald Trump to the presidency
of the United States and political alternations in the European Union that
oscillates between center and extreme right, Flirting with ultra nationalism,
which has been gaining proselytes on a universal scale.
There is a widespread
dissatisfaction on the part of society, expressed through social media, with a sequence
of events that have aroused outrages and even derision towards the political
class in a vehement negative acceptance of any act or proposal by these actors.
See the last case involving the Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Renzi, who was
exposed to public reproach.
In Brazil, it has been no
different, we have a political class frightened and terrified of the advances
of the "lava jato operations” while whispering between walls a way to
prevent the judiciary from further investigations and more arrests. The
"bastille is already full" and comes with the much-anticipated
"collaboration of the company Odebrecht - the mother of all collaborators
- Politicians are terrified, the press, wring their hands, anxious for"
big fish "to be exposed On the cover of newspapers and increase of TV viewers.
Meanwhile, the government is
trying to approve economic and social security measures at a congress filled
with fear and making every kind of bargain to escape the impending arrest.
There are all kinds of interests involved in this Republic. There are those who
do not want to be arrested (no one really wants to) and conspire against the
"jet car – lava jato" operation, but in public, they praise this
"sacred operation", those who want power and political positions,
self interests, in every way, they intend to overthrow the government;
Instilling unions, going to
supreme court to file suit against the current presidente, asking for
"impeachment" to every mishap of some minister or negative economic
indexes. There are also those who want the power through new elections, hoping that
the current government will collapse, resulting in failure of its emergency
plan, culminating in the worsening economy, rising unemployment and
uncontrolled inflation, these are the "Nihilists ".
Civil Society needs to be
attentive at this moment, all present themselves with the purpose of save the
country, wanting to be main player in such a troubled moment, creating problems
to sell solutions. Yet like Charonte - the boatman who in Greek mythology
carried the souls across the river estige and aqueront, as long as they paid with a coin. - No one,
apparently, politician has reserved this coin for the boatman, and so they are wandering
aimlessly, without however Crossing.
The moment is of concern, Brazil
needs governance that can provide legal security, political and economic
stability. These are the coins for crossing this nefarious state of affairs.
There is heavy winds blowing in the judicial, executive and
legislative branches, a diversity of ideological currents emerge at this very moment.
If this imbroglio still continues,
foreign investors will not put a penny in the country until they feel safe and
confident that the government has a solid political base in the congress and
that it can maintain the rules of the game, providing legal security for the
contracts.
We need convergence for the
nation to head in the right direction and the government in power may be able
to implement the necessary changes with the help of congress and active
participation of the whole society. Caution and common sense have always been
key points in any situation, now mostly.
