    Thirty years ago it elected the little-know governor of one of the country’s most backward states as president. Fernando Collor ran as the scourge of the pampered “maharajas” of the public sector who lived high on the hog at taxpayers’ expense.
    The fact that during the 1989 election campaign several journalists exposed this lie by detailing Collor’s own corruption made little impact as he became the establishment’s vehicle for preventing the left-wing Workers Party seizing power.
    Now three decades later the country is beginning to discover that in plucking another supposed anti-corruption zealot from political obscurity to become president it has repeated the mistake.
    The consequences of doing so are now becoming increasingly clear as, now ensconced in the presidency, Bolsonaro wages campaigns against state institutions tasked with combating corruption.

    @Terence Hill

    REF: “lived high on the hog at taxpayers’ expense”:

    I think that you are - unnecessarily - singling out Fernando Collor! After all, the number of corrupt politicians [& their clandestine accounts] are continuously + rapidly growing!

    A vast majority of the masses was even proud to see Fernando Collor as a Special Guest of Honor at the Crowning Ceremony of the president! I heard that not only he was pardoned for his great contributions to the country but the govt. also apologized for being unfair to Collor!

    So how can the majority of the masses + the leaders elected BY THEM be wrong?
