This is a new year filled with expectations. The first is avoiding the return of inflation. Fortunately there is no indication that we will see the same film we saw during the last months of the Sarney government when inflation reached 80% a month. What is serious is that speculation is accelerating, production and exports are diminishing, the growth of the GNP has slowed down, privatizations are multiplying and social inequality is increasing.
This is the year to commemorate (= remember) that 50 years ago a coup toppled the constitutionally elected government installing a military dictatorship where the fate of politicians who disappeared has never being revealed and those, particularly in the Armed Forces, who tortured, assassinated, kidnapped in the name of, and under cover of, the State, have not been punished. http://www.hart-brasilientexte.de/2013/11/19/brasiliens-folter-diktatur1964-1985-mit-wem-bundesausenminister-willy-brandt-damals-bilaterale-vertrage-unterzeichnet-das-massaker-an-stahlarbeitern-unter-gouverneur-jose-magalhaes-pinto/
