The article informs the public about the impeachment proceedings that are facing Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff…the leader of the largest economy within Latin America. The court has found President Rousseff’s administration with violations upon the fiscal responsibility laws, of which she has used the money from state-created banks to fill the budget gaps and pay for social programs. If the impeachment passes within the House, President Rousseff will be temporarily removed from office for six months, of which will allow the Senate a decent amount of time to decide upon permanent removal of President Rousseff. This becomes an stronger issue, as the President (of which nearly won her re-election last year) is facing a degrading view upon her image if she is found guilty. However, their is hope for President Rousseff. If she is impeached, it will cause the country of Brazil to fall once again into a recession, therefore making it clear to the public that the decision must be made correctly and fully supported. …show more content…
Also, because of her involvement with the Petrobras, the country is also facing further issues within their oil and gas services and exports to other countries. It is because of all of these issues that the allows the country of Brazil to believe that in order to protect their country (especially among the freedom scale) it must take rational measures and impeached President Rousseff. However, because the gesture is unpredictable, whomever replaces President Rousseff can cause even further economical damage to the country. It is therefore up to the countries leaders to make the correct choice in order to protect their people, their services and their status of economical
Within the United States system of government, the President holds great power and much responsibility to ensure a safe and efficiently run country. However, the president does not govern the country alone, but according to the Constitution, works in conjunction with the legislative and judicial branches of government to create policy. As a president enters into office, he brings a desire to pursue and influence policy which requires a partnership with Congress of compromise and cooperation as a way to initiate and change those policies. However, presidents have claimed an “inherent powers” in which they feel has been granted to them by the Constitution by Article II which allots them unchecked decision making.
David Stein, in the novel “Judging The Judges” talks about the different aspects of corruption within the justice system and how the judges have a massive negative impact. He believes that judges are given powers of dictatorship and that “we cannot afford to cede these great powers and to have them bartered away by politicians”(2). To prevent such things from happening is considered an impossible task and while that may be, there are ways to eliminate corruption among the judges. Many counties have anti-corruption agencies, however, the United States does not. Conversely, the United States does have anti-corruption organizations and acts that help contain and eradicate the spread of corruption.
I believe he had good intentions and wanted to make Brazil a more educated nation but the time just wasn’t right when he ruled. He was an intelligent man and focused on generating equality and bettering the education system. However, his ideologies came to an end when the public exiled him from
The President’s veto cannot stop a law from passing as long as long as it has support from at least two thirds of Chile’s national congress. Chile is one of the most affluent and stable nations in South America. It is the world’s leading source of copper and though high prices have greatly stimulated Chile’s economy its lack of economic diversity is slowly becoming a prominent issue. Furthermore Chile’s fantastic economic policies have more than halved poverty rates since 2006. In addition Chile is seen as one of the least corrupt nations today with fantastic ratings in domestic polls.
After the defeat of Napoleon, in 1829 King Joao returns Lisbon in1821 leaving his son Prince Pedro in charge. In 1822, Prince Pedro “declared Brazil an independent constitutional monarchy with him as a monarch”[6] at the end both countries after acquiring independence were still led by a
Between 1967 and 1989, Brazil suffered several changes that led to the emergence of democracy. Many factors contributed to the transition from a repressive military dictatorship to a liberal democratic regime. It was a time of political turmoil where many reforms were made. The Congress became divided between the militaries that wished to maintain the regime and the ones that believed Brazil was ready for democracy to be established. Moderate leaders like Ernesto Geisel and his successor João Figueiredo, were important figures for opposition routes to join the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) and the consolidation of democracy to take place.
On the national level, the Bolsa Famlia was initially difficult to enact due to the existence of a staunch opposition against any type of legislation involving government handouts; in the following years, that same resistance would not remain as sturdy. Not surprisingly, the Bolsa Familia dominated Brazilian politics in the aftermath of its introduction. After introducing the program, the Worker’s Party, the ruling political party in Brazil, earned the loyalty of millions of supporters in the destitute north of Brazil; many of those were penniless families who have credited the Bolsa Familia with improving their lives in some way. The rate of approval the Bolsa Familia by the public in the 2014 general election was higher than most government legislations before it - three out of every four Brazilian voters expressed support for the program – to the point that even the opposition party running for office is competing with the ruling party to expand the initiative to greater
Since its arrival to power in 1990 by ousting the former military government, the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) has fundamentally reformed Ethiopia’s political system in many ways. The regime's radical transformed the highly centralized unitary state into a Federation of nationalities that redefined citizenship, politics and identity on ethnic grounds. The intent was to correct past wrongdoings and create a democratic and just society. In order to rebuild from centuries of ethnic based discrimination, the new government led by a coalition of former insurgent movements took an ideological approach to federalism based on ethnic units defined largely by language and common ancestry.
Chinua Achebe, in his widely cited book, "The Trouble with Nigeria" accurately pointed out that "the trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership." Leading a multiple ethnic and religious society such as Nigeria, while staying dedicated to democratic principles is a tough task. This is because integrating numerous ethnic groups into one political system brings along the fundamental issues of ethnic battles. Change is constant in any society and it takes a devoted leadership to achieve a remarkable change in a society. Since 1960, Nigeria has experienced successive societal changes.
In a dictatorship, thinking is a crime. So if there is a need for thinking, it is needed to be thought in silence. In 1967, Brazil suffered a coup d’état carried by the Brazilian army against the current president, João Goulart. With the decree AI-1 (Ato Institucional Número 1) the military took control of the country, removing all the power of the people and public officials. From 1968 until 1985, the country was ruled by six different military presidents.
For example, Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva in Brazil and Ricardo Lagos or Michelle Bachelet in Chile implemented policies that modified the constraints of the international system and avoided direct confrontation with local and international parties and investors. They also incorporated strategic policies with long lasting results rather than short term solutions while avoiding revolutionary and extreme attitudes. In addition, they negotiated economic and sustainable reforms with local opposition parties and international investors to maintaining a strong fiscal balance and increase employment. These countries, in the end, achieved considerable
Corruption is only a symptom of an inner turmoil, an underlying fundamental cause, JUSTICE DELAY, which is no justice at all, is the root reason of Government Corruption. She added that, by the time the DOJ find out the influential crime offenders, the crime offenders already filled their bank accounts with overflowing money and while the eyewitnesses was already killed, murdered or kidnapped. A decent and respectable justice system is the real cause of corruption. The consequences of the action of the greedy crime offenders are poverty, poverty in all aspect. All of the planned projects will absolutely fail because there is not enough funds to support it, the supposed to be raising of the economy’s development will fall and all of the people within the country
Brazil is the largest country in South America and its population rivals that of the United States. The large country has many climates going from humid warm settings to colder, dryer weather in some areas at different seasons. Brazil has been peaceful with no tragic government defeats and keeps seeking ways to advance in business. Brazil has, and does remain in good standing in regards to the relationship with the United States. Despite high populace, high poverty and a large wage gap, Brazil’s military force remains small and aids the civilian police.
Almost 90 million of its 198 million population can claim African ancestry. It is believed that Africa-Brazil relations are not only based on historical and cultural affinity and they are achieved by diplomatic efforts between two countries. During his tenure, former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva visited Africa more than 20 times and his ambition for strengthening economic relations with Africa was supported by his foreign minister, Celso Luiz Nunes Amorim. The relations between Brazil and Africa then intensified during Lula’s two terms from 2003 to 2010.
