    The headline “Child labor in Brazil goes up under Bolsonaro” sounds kind of biased...just read the 2nd paragraph :

    “Last year, 1.881 million people aged 5 to 17 were subjected to it. In 2016, the IBGE identified 2.112 million people in this situation. Until 2019, the number fell to 1.758 million. Due to the pandemic, the study was not published in 2020 and 2021.”

    It states that in 2016, the IBGE identified 2.11 million peole in this situation ....which was the last of 14 years of PT rule...with Dumbass Dilma as President.

    Then, until 2019, the number fell to 1.78 million.....during Michel Temer's 2 ‘n a 1/2 year's presidency (mid 2016 to end 2018).

    Last year, 2022, Bolsonaro's last year in office, the number went up to 1.88 million...100,000 more than at the end of 2018.

    So, the IBGE claims that the number under Bolsonaro increased – yes, it did, but was still quite a bit lower than at the end of the PT's 14 years.....and after 2 years of Covid-19.

    Presuming that the numbers are correct, the IBGE, under the leadership of Marcio Pochmann, a radical 'petista' and Lula's personal pal, coveniently draws attention to the number at the end of Bolsonaro's term, while ignoring that at the end of Dilma's (230,000 higher ).
    That kind of distortion of the facts is exactly what people said would happen when Pochmann was indicated by the nine-fingered crook.

    Jack B.,

    Denialist criticism just like your Nazi president. You are a being capable of murdering 700,000 people by administering ineffective medicine to your victims just to watch them die without oxygen. You are a denialist who shows no solution to any problem in Brazil and arrogantly criticizes what is done.

    I despise you. You are the rotten side of Brazil, which distills hatred and prejudice like a viper.

    And like the entire extreme right, it steals public money in the name of God. In the name of the “Orçamento Secreto” that stole 500 billion reais to be spent in Miami's money laundry.

    GO LIVE IN ARGENTINA, JACK

    “Where is your proof of bias ? Search all you want, you won't find any, just like you won't find anything in the STF site the crook was declared innocent....
    Moro's “corruption”....corruption ? total BS, he followed the money trail and found damning proof.

    How about these apples!

    The only daming proof is as follows.
    ”The Supreme Federal Court of Brazil (STF) then decided that all decisions made by Moro in the case of the Guarujá triplex, “including the facts practiced in the pre-trial phase” were null because the magistrate “showed partiality in his conduct. ... “

    null
    ADJECTIVE
    having no legal or binding force; invalid:
    “the court ruled that the contract contained several infringements and therefore declared it null and void”
    synonyms:
    invalid · void · annulled · nullified · cancelled · abolished · revoked · rescinded · repealed · null and void

    What a classic under-statement.

    Brazil’s Federal Audit Court has asked the Attorney General to freeze presidential pre-candidate Sergio Moro’s assets. The court (TCU) says that the law firm received more than R$40 million ($8 million USD) from companies he convicted in Operation Lava Jato, and with whom he negotiated `LENIENCY AGREEMENTS` a month from Odebrecht e Ativos (former agro-industrial company), BRL 150,000 from Galvão Engenharia, BRL 97,000 from from OAS and R$ 115 thousand monthly from the Enseada Shipyard.”

    Extortion, I rest my case, leniency agreements!

    ”Totally ignoring what you can't explain...such as the R$ 6 billion returned by convicted thieves” such as how he is without evidence, culpable for others acts?
