you could practice what you preach :) I didn't vote for either, even on the last election, and would not have voted for him even if he was running. I'm further left.
> but the previous one was not healthy at all for our country
if enacting the very laws that allowed to go after the politic corrupt class in power since forever (even if backfired when it started to work), started a minimum income program in the entire country, paid off the international debt, kept oil reserves for national companies, etc. is a bad goverment... I guess you are right.
Maybe not your intention but thats basically what I would expect from a worker's party political propaganda.
It was bad because we got hit like a truck as soon as commodities prices and China's economy decelerated and government spending did not adjusted at all. Specially bad when lots of public money went to few conglomerates that were part of billionaire corruption schemes, bribe and money laundering. Also sending billions to other African and Central and South American dictatorships - infrastructure projects handled by the same companies involved in domestic corruption scandals. The Brazilian Worker's Party and companies like Odebrecht have a big finger in everything that's happening in Venezuela right now.
And let me say this about Bolsa Família: the minimum income program was created by Ruth Cardoso, the First Lady before Lula's presidency. Lula's original plan was called "Fome Zero" (Zero Hunger) and revolved about government supplying food to poor people much like Chavez did. He ended following mrs Cardosos' plan which is way better than his original idea but also bad because it had no escape mechanism like tying it to educational programs and was used over and over again to coerce the poor population into voting to the workers party.
Please. I may not know about what a bad government is but apparently further left means cherry picking facts to tell your own ideological charged version of history. Even PSOL (Freedom and Socialism Party) member Luciana Genro agrees that Lula and Dilma were criminals that looted the country and should be in jail.
I'm really sorry but every time you tell some rose tinted story about how things were good, names and terms like Odebrecht, Mensalão, JBS, Mariel's Port, Pasadena's Refinery, OAS and Camargo Correa will pop up. So as a brazilian it is a bit hard to swallow and borderline offensive okay?
