Because of the Olympic Games, of course. We had a coup over here in Brazil. Not everything is lost as yet, but the future looks grim. We produced a little leaflet for the tourists and I share it with you. So that when you watch TV, read the newspapers, you think about us, just for a moment. We need your attention and your support.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Thanks,</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Frederic</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">Dear tourist,</span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px;text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="PT-BR">Welcome to Brazil! We are happy you are here and hope you will enjoy the Olympic Games</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">™©®. We wish we could have received you in better circumstances, though. As you probably know, we had a coup d’État over here. It’s not a classic military coup, like in the 60’s, but the result is the same. Democracy is under siege and during your stay you will see the military forces everywhere. To guarantee your security, but also to repress any legitimate opposition to the illegitimate government. You will quickly notice that Brazil is a racially diverse country. The majority of the population is black. Our government, however, is all-white, all-male, and all-corrupt. Seven ministers are tainted by corruption scandals. Two already had to resign. Even Michel Temer, the interim president, has been condemned by the Electoral Tribunal of <span style="color:rgb(26,26,26)">São </span>Paulo for financial irregularities. You know, he can no longer run for elections! The president elect, Dilma Roussef, has been ousted. Everything indicates that her impeachment had only one function: blocking justice and saving the legislators from prison. The current government is imposing a conservative-liberal policy of authority and austerity. Shamelessly, it is defending the interests of the banks, privatizing the economy, repressing minorities, exterminating indigenous populations and otherwise doing everything it can to turn back the clock and abolish the social rights of the majority of the population. And, finally, while you’re here, why not learn some Portuguese? Start with “Fora Temer!” (Temer out!), and join the non-violent protests all over the city. Enjoy your stay!</span><u><span style="color:rgb(56,110,255)"><u></u><u></u></span></u></p><div style="font-size:12.8px"> </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br><div><div>Professor/pesquisador</div><div>IESP-Uerj</div><div>Rua da Matriz 82</div><div>Botafogo</div><div>Rio de Janeiro (RJ)</div><div>22260-100</div><div>Brasil</div></div></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div>-- <br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: <a href="http://commonstransition.org" target="_blank">http://commonstransition.org</a> </div><div><br></div>P2P Foundation: <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net" target="_blank">http://p2pfoundation.net</a> - <a href="http://blog.p2pfoundation.net" target="_blank">http://blog.p2pfoundation.net</a> <br><br><a href="http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation" target="_blank"></a>Updates: <a href="http://twitter.com/mbauwens" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/mbauwens</a>; <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/<wbr>mbauwens</a><br><br>#82 on the (En)Rich list: <a href="http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/" target="_blank">http://enrichlist.org/the-<wbr>complete-list/</a> <br></div></div></div></div>
