With Latin America's Humanism receding so much, the international capital is never going to respect them; they are doomed to overcharge, over-exploit and depletion.
(Again, how that gang was chosen “supreme?” If that is the “supreme” I wonder how is due process by the lower “courts” and/or how's their politicians act.)
Dear Brazil, so large, so populated, so potentially blessed, in the claws of few rapacious vultures.
BTW, the buzzard that lead Rousseff's impeachment,... sentenced to 15 years for “scandalous bribery”! And that Cunha miscreant of nature, was allowed to judge Rousseff? No, no lookin'good, Bra.

They are appointed by the President and approved by the senate. Five of the six judges who voted to send Lula to jail today were appointed by him or Rousseff.

REF: “Five of the six judges who voted to send Lula to jail today were appointed by him or Rousseff”:

It was also laughable to learn that G. Mendes was extremely worried about the “IMAGE” of Brazil! And coincidentally, yesterday, it was Brazil itself that was responsible for making a laughing stock of the country by not being able to keep a crook behind bars.
