Delayed feedback into recession following 2007.
Vast resources poured into pre-salt; long lag-time before revenues accrue.
Trade war with Argentina.
Poor port facilities and logistics management.
13 years delay in block agreements with the EU.
Poor financial macro-management, and of course ...

all pervasive corruption.

According to UNCTAD corruption in Brazil decreased by 50% in the last 10 years.

Cases of corruption are reported and opposed by the government and the press. Brazil has made significant advances in all areas.

We must continue blocking the USA and Europe, focusing on relations with the South.

@4...Brasileiro is at it again. So UNCTAD believes that corruption in Brazil has decreased in Brazil since 2004 ?? and where does UNCTAD get its information from ?? surprise, surprise, the Brazilian (PT) Government !
Brazzo has, liked most of the uninformed and misinformed lower classes, a very short memory....in the last 7 years, besides the Petrobrás scandal, re which we have only seen the tip of the iceberg, the PT 'mensalão', involving the theft of billions of Reais from the taxpayers, by the top members of the PT party / government, has been the largest corruption scheme ever uncovered in Brazil...and the perpetrators get, literally, a slap on the wrist, from a PT dominated Supreme Court.
I think that the Brazzo should be blocked, and sent to a loony bin.

corruption in Brasil may have decreased 50% in the last decade, fine, good - but what happened to the 16 bilhão (billion, milhar de milhões) Reais from the building of stadiums for the world cup, that seem to have disappeared?

You can do as the avestruz (ostrich) is said to do, when problems are observed: hide your head in a hole - or you can mobilize everyone you know, and stand up and fight corruption in Brasil.
