Brazil has been in recession for two years, the latest figures show, marking the deepest economic decline since records began.

The economy contracted by 3.6% in 2016, meaning it is now 8% smaller than it was in December 2014.

The country has been hard hit by the fall in commodity prices and an internal political crisis that has undermined investor confidence.

Whoaaa! Whoaaa! Kemosabe...!

Do you actually read anything you post? Hmmm?

Ah, how long has the current administration in Brasil been in power? Less than a year?

And, ah, how long was Dilma, and that other schmuck, running Brasil through one of the greatest upticks in economic commodities (oil, soybeans etc etc) over the last 40 years? Hmmm? Money was POURING into Brasil at an unprecedented rate. Incredible money. They were selling Brasilian offshore oil fields to the mult-nationals for "tens of billions" of dollars.

So, what happened to all the money? Your silly article states that the recession started two years ago. Two, get it? Who was in power then? After pocketing tens of billions of free dollars they drove the Brasilian economy into a recession. And now you frothing-at-the-mouth lefties blame a government that has been in power a few SHORT months, ...and it's all their fault! Really?

Finally, you didn't seem to quote this sentence in the article either:

"However, analysts believe the economy should start to pick up from here."

But, but, where did all the money go? From those billions and billions of dollars they received from those off-shore oil sales?

But Eduardo Cunha is capitalist, not socialist: :cool:

Brazil ex-speaker Eduardo Cunha jailed for 15 years
Quote:
 
A judge has sentenced the former speaker of the lower house of the Brazilian Congress, Eduardo Cunha, to 15 years and four months in prison.

Cunha was found guilty of corruption, money laundering and tax evasion.

He led the impeachment process against President Dilma Rousseff and was one of Brazil's most powerful politicians before his arrest in October.

Many capitalists like Eduardo Cunha are with Michel "Fora" Temer, now. That is why...

Most Brazilians disapprove of Temer government: poll
Quote:
 
A growing majority of Brazilians disapprove of President Michel Temer's scandal-plagued government, and faith is flagging in his ability to steer the country out of its worst recession ever, according to a poll published on Friday.

The survey by pollster Ibope, conducted between March 16 and 19, said the number of people who consider Temer's government "bad" or "terrible" rose to 55 percent from 46 percent in the previous survey carried out in December.

The proportion of those who rate Temer's government as "great" or "good" slipped to 10 percent from 13 percent, putting its popularity at the same level as leftist former president Dilma Rousseff in March last year, before she was impeached.

How is the Temer Regime going to react? Just like all the oligarchic Regimes: with a lot of repression.

General Strike: Brazil Strikes on April 28! By Joao Pedro Stédile
Quote:
 
From the side of the government and the Congress, the situation keeps getting worse with their insanity and arrogance. In the last weeks the outsourcing law was approved, which for some lawyers is like the comeback of slavery, because the power of the employer upon his employees superimposes the law. They passed over the Consolidation of Labour Laws and the Constitution… while the Supreme Federal Court remained silent, convenient for the capital interests.
Quote:
 
The working class is starting to comprehend that the coup was not only against Dilma, but also against them and their rights, and is already starting to mobilize. The best way to put a stop to the retirement, labour, outsource reforms and to this corrupt government is to make a general strike, paralyzing all the productive activities of the country.
