Sure, PG is not a super-minister, but probably the most competent Brazil has had in recent history....the problem is the shitty Congress, that simply will not bow to what Brazil needs, putting their personal interests above everything else.
That was expected, right from the start.

The fact is, Congress only approves what serves its members' personal interests....any project presented in the attempt to combat imoral priviliges, corruption, is not only disfigured but defeated, then they try to get measures passed that pardon past crimes and allow them to keep on stealing.
Viva Brasiu-siu-siu !
