The challenges faced by Dilma Rousseff
In a strong editorial the influential Folha de Sao Paulo argues that Brazil's reelected President Dilma Rousseff must reestablish confidence to the nation, which is divided regionally and socially, must implement a fluid dialogue with productive Brazil because the economy needs changes and new faces, and must rule for all the country, because victory was the result of millimetrical dispute in Sunday's runoff.

Oct 30th, 2014 - 10:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0It seems to me that Brazil has all the problems and none of the solutions with DumbAss back in charge.
Oct 30th, 2014 - 10:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0THAT is the legacy that the crook Lula left for the country.
Perhaps splitting the country into two and letting the north be called B1 and the south B2, like what is going to happen in Spain sooner ot later might be a solution?
Clearly, the productive south needs to look after itself and leave the north to continue scratching in the dirt.
Rather than bring the country together the policies so far seem to be working the opposite way, even the Central bank has division within it. 11.25%, now that has to be a brake on the economy just when they need the 'pedal to the metal'.
Is ANYBODY really in charge in Brazil?
I'd give Bitch 2 six months. If she hasn't sorted it, kick her out to spend the next 5 years in prison with hard labour.

Oct 30th, 2014 - 05:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anyway, with that idiot out of the way, would just like to repeat something I posted a few minutes ago, under a different headline..
An interesting fact regarding last Sunday's election, and the numbers can be easily verified :
The 3 States in Brazil with the largest contribution to the GDP, are Sao Paulo, Rio and Minas Gerais, with 33%, 11%, 9% respectively, totaling 53% of the GDP.
The votes from all of Brazil (2nd round, on 26th October) : Dilma 51.64%, Aécio 48.36%.
But, of the votes counted in SP, RJ and MG, Aécio received 23.12% and Dilma only 17.93%.
So, if the election had been in only these 3 States, which together represent 53% of the GDP, Aécio would have won by quite a large margin.
Conclusion : Dilma was not voted in by the people who produce the nation’s wealth (south, southeast and center-west), but by the free-loaders who produce nothing.....who make up a good part of the population from the north and northeast regions.
@2 ChrisR,
To answer your question “Is ANYBODY really in charge in Brazil?”, I think not, but there is a bunch of criminals which “has taken charge OF Brazil. ”
Brazzo numbnuts, do you receive Government payouts? Chrony a-hole.

Oct 31st, 2014 - 10:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0There might be a minimal difference in terms of the votes cast,
but there is a VAST difference in terms of political philosophy and the way this can translate into the future development of this huge country.
Dilma has been hobbled by her party coalition and the need to provide ever more money from taxation of the (real) middle class to the poor and destitute. Classically corrupt Marxism.
Aecio is hobbled by the fact that there are just too many voters that have chosen to be dependent on the state and who believe that their entitlement is a lifelong commitment by the Government to support them without any input from themselves.
This, of course, is a recipe for recurrently cyclical decline and fall of a potentially great country and the buying up of this sub-continent by foreign interests - essential to support and supply a forever-more-dependent vast population of the poor.
