    Only an ethical party and seated in an ideological platform as the PT, would be able to carry forward the break subservience between the executive and legislative branches. Historically in Brazil, on behalf of governance, there has always been an exchange of favors between the executive and the legislative originated up there a number of anomalies in the management of the Brazilian state: physiologism, incompetent public officials, bribery, volatile parliamentary bases, mismanagement of resources public, political state rigging, cross nepotism, etc.

    The right-wing parties do not follow an ideological line, on the contrary. They follow the line of his own advantage, whether financial, or political. In recent months we have seen the parliamentary base of the PSDB combined with PMDB dissidents approve proposed laws harmful to the interests of Brazil in order to force presidential vetoes that eventually “tarnish” its popularity.

    These politicians of right-wing parties are irresponsible and should not rule the country. I will mention some names: Aécio Neves, Aloysio Nunes, José Serra, Eduardo Cunha, Ronaldo Caiado, Jair Bolsonaro, José Agripino, Renan Calheiros, Cássio Lima, Collor de Melo, etc.

    These parliamentary they represent the Oligarchy ever ruled this country. They are mostly owners of national media or closely linked to them. These are the media who write about Brazil and its government and where international agencies seek their own source of information.

    What do you think this “partisan” media writes about the current Brazil?

    The least I expect of any reader is to reflect on what you read, you criticize and you diversify your sources of information. Otherwise, how Conqueror said, you will be suffering brainwashed.

    @1. Should we ask about the Mensalão scandal in 2005? How about the Lavajato scandal? Seemed to be about corruption.

    “Only an ethical party and seated in an ideological platform as the PT,...” ?????

    BIG lie. The PT claimed it was ethical when opposition, but when it got into power, it proved to be the most corruPT and incomPeTent party Brazil has ever seen. Mensalão, Petrolão, Eletrolão, BNDESão....just wait.

    “The right-wing parties do not follow an ideological line, on the contrary...” ???

    First, since the Military regime, there have been NO right-wing parties in Brazil. Second, you are right, the PSDB does NOT follow any “ideological line”....they follow only sound economic policy, contrary to your stinkin' PT .

    “ In recent months we have seen the parliamentary base of the PSDB combined with PMDB dissidents approve proposed laws harmful to the interests of Brazil ”
    How is voting to favour the population (one example : with regards to retirement requirements and tying the increase of pensions to the same index used to increase the minimum wage) considered harmful to the interests of Brazil ?
    Ah, of course, there's not enough money because Dilma spent all of it in 2013/ 2014 to guarantee her re-election....so what the hell do the stupid retirees expect ? fair treatment after working and contributing to the system for only 35 years ? shame on them !!

    “These parliamentary they represent the Oligarchy ever ruled this country” ???

    Of the names you mention, Collor represents the largest oligarchy, and who does he support ?? Lulla and the PT ?!? oops, something must be wrong...only ethical, honest politicians support the PT thieves.

    “The least I expect of any reader is to reflect on what you read.....” ???

    To reflect on what you write is the same as certifying oneself as crazy or ignorant, or both ; and just fyi, a good part of the Brazilian media is just an outlet for the PT's lies.....the lies that you gobble up when you aren't eating sh*t. You brainwashed a.hole.
