Brazil on the rise Almost one million people have marched through the streets of Brazil some weeks

ago. The Brazilian people have protested against over rising public transport costs and the expense of the 2014 World Cup. But those protests have spread. They are the largest seen in Brazil for more than 20 years. Brazil is a continental dimension country. We dont have a solution overnight. But in the last 20 years the country has grown enormously, we passed Italy, Russia, India, even UK, we are the sixth large economy on the world. A lot of these wealth are distributed among people who used to be very poor, and 30 million of those have moved to middle class. And now they are asking for what they had fought throughout life. They have their own house, car, spend more on consumer goods, and they are paying much more taxes to the government, and now theyre asking for more clarity in the government accounts. On the other hand, the country has one of the highest levels of social inequality in the world. Many of the rich people live in bubbles. The poor people are almost invisible, forgotten in rural areas or marginalized in urban slums. But where is the Brazilian prosperity economy? So where is our money going? The bigger anger behind this movement is a sensation of good part of the public money is going to politics and some manager business hands. And the ordinary people feeling they are not getting enough attention of their own government. We still have many problems and so much to improve. So, Will the protests change Brazil? Yes. Of course it is not so quickly, but in long term we will see a great country. The President Dilma Rousseff had a pronouncement about a plebiscite to do a politic reform. This is a beginning of a change. People have seen they have power and politics have to hear them. It will be a different election in 2014, but it wasnt the candidates who have changed, the electors have change.
