Lula's Workers Party support shrinks 60% in Sunday's municipal elections
Brazil’s Workers Party suffered its worst-ever result at the polls as voters used Sunday’s local elections to punish it for a deep recession and a series of corruption scandals. After 13 years in power the party saw its vote collapse across Brazil in a dramatic confirmation that it is now fighting to retain a seat at the top table of Brazilian politics following the impeachment of president Dilma Rousseff in August and the decision last month to try party founder and former president Lula da Silva for corruption.

Ok, and so what ? what's your point ?
Coxinhas são minoria absoluta. E a nossa esquerda pode estar dormente com os criminosos do TRF/4ª Região, com a parcialidade do moro e a corrupção da PF e do MPF, regidamente na incompetência do power point acusatório, sem provas, do Deltan Dellagnoll.

“36% dos paulistanos não votaram.”
It's had to understand you when your arguments are weak or non-existent and you insist on posting everything in a Brazilian Portuguese slang dialect.
Google Translate:
A direita brasileira é corrupta e fede, somente tem dinheiro para comprar perfume!
“36% of our voters are named Paul”???

Oct 04th, 2016 - 09:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Responda a pergunta seu babaca ! e nós é que somos coxinhas / a minoria ? Essa “minoria” é que mandou o PT e o molusco do Lula para PQP ! Seria bom que você fosse junto. Comuna de m*rda !
While the PT criminals had the Judiciary under control, you believed that the MPF and PF were great....now that a new breed of prosecutors has taken over, and is exposing all the PT crap, you try to discredit them....typical .
But interesting, finally you've confessed that you are just a stupid communist.....I knew it all along, but it's just that you seemed to be ashamed of announcing publicly that you are such an imbecile.
@7 Kanye
The a.hole at #6 is so bloody ignorant and radical that even with his idol, the 9-fingered mollusc , having been publicly humiliated and told by the majority of voters to f**k off, he prefers to keep on kidding himself. He is the kind of crap that ruins Brazil.
In his #8 , he can't even get a simple explanation right : 'Paulistanos' are those born in the city of SP, and 'Paulistas', those born in the State of SP.
He works in some agricultural coop in Paraná, probably shoveling manure all day, so I'd say he is the one who stinks.
Hear the backward cheerleaders enjoying the apparent success of the right in Brazil--a right that most of the time had the power, is responsible for the social ills of the great Latin American country and seeks to keep it that way forever.
Oct 05th, 2016 - 02:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0No matter the conspiracies and the complicities, the people will eventually revert back to propositions for equality and social inclusion.
Lula and Dilma, as others before, demonstrated that real progress is possible--the seed is planted and will grow again.
What progress?
Oct 05th, 2016 - 03:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0The corruption and economic failings happened on Dilma's watch.
Just like Evita K was responsible for 28%+ Poverty and 35% annual inflation after the “won decade” of Kirchnerist economic and social policies.

Oct 05th, 2016 - 04:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It seems that you support the views of the “commie” Brasshole. Good for you, you’ve finally defined yourself politically ......so, as long as your political aspirations are met, to hell with the economy...is that it ?
But, I have told the BRasshole before, and will repeat now, for your benefit : There is ONE party in Brazil, the PSDC (Social Democratic Christian Party) is the only one right of centre. The PMDB and the PSDB, the big winners in the Municipal elections held last Sunday, are placed just left of centre, but without the leftist “Bolivarian” bias of the radical PT (Lula's party) and PC do B (Communist Party). The number of mayors elected by the PSDC are negligible, so your comment about “backward right-wing cheerleaders” makes absolutely no sense.
But, do you even have a clue as to why the “people”, as a whole, rejected the PT and the extreme left ? And why do you consider the shift back to the centre of the political spectrum a retrogression ? Or are you insinuating that the majority of Brazil's population - at least the two-thirds that vote - are against progress ? As usual, it is clear that your liberal arguments can't stand scrutiny.
You may pretend to know a lot about Argentina, but you know piss-all about Brazil and its economy.
