Dilma must have told Mrs. Suplicy there is less money available from the government for her 365-day yearly vacations in Luxury hotels, resorts, spas, plastic surgeries, botox, and purchases of lyxury goods, jewellery, and expensive clothes. The money is runnning out and they need to bring in more Cubans into the country. This is the only thing that might make this blond woman think.

“Since Rousseff took office in 2011, Brazil's public finances have declined sharply, pressuring inflation and putting the country in the sights of ratings agencies. Brazil's primary surplus target for this year had been 99 billion Reais, or equal to 1.9% of GDP.”...
The government has not managed to reach it's target ?? that's not a problem, change the law to fit the size of the hole..........this is the kind of thing that the ignorant supporters of the PT are incapable of understanding...or don't want to....so I just hope that sh*t really hits the fan and that when it does, they are the first ones to get shafted.
