WIDE POPULAR MOBILIZATION AND ITS POLITICAL AND
INSTITUTIONAL CONSEQUENCES IN BRAZIL
Fernando Alcoforado *
Popular mobilization on 03.15.2015 of 1.5 million people in several cities of Brazil
showed the extreme indignation of the Brazilian people with the state of affairs that
dominates the country. This mobilization may be the beginning of the end of the failed
neoliberal economic and anti-national model deployed in Brazil since 1990, the end of
the corrupt political model implemented in Brazil based on the failed Constitution of
1988 and the end of the corrupt and incompetent Dilma Rousseff government. One fact
is clear: Brazil, as an economic, political, administrative and social organization is
disintegrating. The signs of disintegration are evident in all parts of the country.
The failure of the economic model applied in Brazil is manifested in the fact that it
caused a real devastation in the Brazilian economy from 1990 to 2014 set: 1) in the
meager economic growth; 2) in the lack of control of inflation in the last four years; 3)
in the existing bottlenecks in economic and social infrastructure; 4) in the de-
industrialization of the Brazilian economy; 5) in the explosion of internal and external
public debt; 6) in the denationalization of the Brazilian economy; and, 7) in the
privatization of state enterprises policy. This is the result of the application of neoliberal
economic model in Brazil inaugurated by President Fernando Collor in 1990 and
maintained by the presidents Itamar Franco, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Lula and
Dilma Rousseff.
Despite the failure of the neoliberal economic model, the Rousseff administration does
nothing to restructure the decaying Brazilian economy on a new basis by insisting on
maintaining the failed neoliberal model that tends to lead Brazil's economic system to
collapse and adopted an economic policy of austerity of fiscal tightening and reduction
of harmful social benefits for companies and the Brazilian population. Maintaining the
current situation will inevitably lead the country to stagflation, the steep rise in inflation
rates, the growing public debt, the bankruptcy of public education and health services,
full dismantling of Brazilian industry, loss of purchasing power of the population and
unemployment mass.
In turn, the political model implemented in Brazil based on the 1988 Constitution is also
bankrupt because it no longer serves the interests of the Brazilian nation in view of all
the country's political system be contaminated by corruption. The scandals that
continuously succeed in modern times involving all branches of government in Brazil
are some examples that may arise demonstrating the failure of representative
democracy. Representative democracy in Brazil shows clear signs of exhaustion not
only by corruption scandals in the powers of the Republic but especially to discourage
popular participation, reducing political activity to mere electoral processes that are
repeated periodically in which the people elect their representatives which, with few
exceptions, after the elections come to defend interests of economic groups in
opposition to the interests of those who elected them.
What is promised in the election campaign is, with rare exceptions, abandoned by the
leaders of the executive and the parliamentary after occupy their elected positions as
evidenced in the campaign of Dilma Rousseff who is adopting an economic policy
diametrically opposed to that advocated in election clashes. In practice, the electoral
process works as if the people offered to each officer of the executive and the
2
parliamentary a blank check to do whatever they want after occupy their elected
positions. This has come to an end with the social control of elected by the people who
must have the instruments to begin the impeachment process its mandates by the
disengagement of promises in election campaign by candidates.
The model of public management in Brazil does not also meet the needs of the country
being responsible for the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of government actions at all
levels. The Brazilian government is inefficient and ineffective due, among other factors,
the lack of integration of federal, state and municipal governments in promoting
national development, regional and local. This is a major cause of administrative
collapse of the public sector in Brazil generator of waste, delays in the execution of
works and rampant corruption. Join this fact the existence of inadequate organizational
structures in each of the federal, state and local levels that prevent the integrative effort
also in each of these levels of government.
The lack of integration of the various bodies of the Brazilian state is, therefore, total,
making the action of the government becomes chaotic as a whole, generating therefore
diseconomies of all kinds. The government organizational structures in all levels in
Brazil are outdated. It is unacceptable that structures the federal, state and local
government have unnecessary and overstaffed organs and superimposed efforts as still
occurs today in many sectors, depleting scarce resources available to them. To solve this
problem, it would be necessary to ensure that the federal and state governments only
assume regulatory functions and global, regional and sectoral planning in integrated
basis, while the municipal governments, regional development agencies and state
enterprises would make executive part also so articulated. It is therefore important
organizational restructuring in Brazil on a new basis with the decentralization of its
actions with regional structures to the effective development of the various regions of
Brazil.
In addition to the failure of the neoliberal economic model, the political model and the
management model in place, Brazil faces the corrupt and incompetent government of
Dilma Rousseff that no longer seems to have the necessary conditions to rule Brazil, not
only because of not have the support of the parliamentary majority in Congress, but also
because no longer have the support of most of the nation that allowed him to win the
last presidential elections. Dilma Rousseff and the coalition forces that elected her lost
the legitimacy to rule Brazil because don´t have credibility with the population due to
their inability and incompetence in the country's management and by systemic
corruption that extends to all levels of government.
Overcoming the political problems of Brazil requires the adoption of the following
measures: 1) the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and Michel Temer because both have
lost the ability to govern the country in accordance with the popular will and for reasons
of state given that it would be disastrous for the country their continuity in power; 2) the
establishment of a provisional government composed of competent people and moral
quality that would be responsible for convening a new Constituent Assembly to
promote the reform of the State and Public Administration on a new basis; 3) the
dismissal of the current Congress, banning parties and parliamentarians committed to
corruption and the formation of new parties after the new Constituent; and, 4) to
convene new general elections in the country. The first measure above which provides
for the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and Michel Temer is absolutely necessary
because you cannot keep incompetent rulers in power that threaten to jeopardize the
3
country's future. Must prevail to safeguard the interests of the nation than of the
incompetent rulers. The issue of impeachment is political and not legal.
One must consider that overcoming the economic, administrative and social problems
of the country will only be carried forward after solve political problems with the
adoption of four measures described above. Therefore, to avoid the economic,
administrative and social collapse of the country, the first step is to renew the political
institutions of Brazil. However, to be successful in overcoming the political, economic,
administrative and social problems that pose a risk national life, we need to keep public
pressure on social networks and the people on the streets culminating in the nation's
march to Brasilia to demand that National Congress adopt the 4 steps described above
for the benefit of the population, starting with the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and
Michel Temer.
