Because I do not want to be deputy
05/09/2011In 2006 Jaqueline Roriz was recorded receiving scheme of corruption of money that became known as "monthly allowance of DEM", in Brasilia. The video reveals that the action was disclosed only at the beginning of 2011, Jaqueline Roriz then when it was federal deputy.
Given this, It was asked to the Board of Ethics (sic!!!) Chamber to initiate an investigation, resulting in the cancellation of the parliamentary statement by 11 MEPs, against 3 that defended. Then the process was referred to Plenary. Day 30 August the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil acquitted Mrs.
Protected secret ballot hair, 265 deputies were in favor of Mrs, others 20 They abstained from the vote and only 166 They favored the revocation. Not simply the results, if we follow as the section, a questão fica ainda mais grave. Os manifestantes que estavam nas ruas, washing sidewalks and spreading tracks in the federal capital had no relevance. of 310 Members who were with presence recorded in section, approximate 100 were the ones who were actually at the plenary during the presentation of the rapporteur.
The few who had the courage to speak in favor of Mrs merely to state that the case took place before the expiry, so that can not be taken into consideration. The very Mrs merely say it is the fault of the media, that "devours the honor of any person". It argues that it was all a political struggle to end its mandate.
What this case shows has already been pointed out in several places: disregard for public opinion, neglect of public power, Lack of ethics, of respect, de valores. As lutas políticas, the interests and positions are not more than a set of actions to protect the minority of people who managed to come to power. O que vale é a manutenção pela manutenção.
What everyone seems to ignore is that Mrs Jaqueline only arrived where he, because it has a previous action. It is true that the case occurred before she was elected federal deputy, but his career did not. The votes won, the support they received from their constituents (deluded?), the support of campaign contributors, all this is due to a larger story. That happened in the past is that it brings to this.
Worse, the past event, protected not present, will have great impact on the future. But none of this is taken into consideration. No problem, politics is so, He has distanced himself from all. national project is not something relevant, or even remembered by the current political class. What matters is to enter the scheme, get what you can and then put the blame for all the opponents, those who are only seeking to destabilize the government. That's not what happened to the sequence of ministers who have fallen at the very beginning Dilma government.
The most profound result and damaging of all is the death of politics. At least as policy design, as dialogue, as a space for the construction of a better country. He left the politicalha, low-trading. At the end, politics becomes space for those who should not be there. The good-natured, able to think a bit in the national community, able to give a little of your effort for something bigger, not want to go into politics. There is no space. No conditions. There are horny!
Why I do not want to be congressman? Because still dream of a better country. Because I still think that we can find ways to build a better country. Why I do not want to be a Congressman? Because I just believe today in civil society. If you really want to know my opinion, at the time it is best terceirizarmos the Brazilian State for some multinational. Absurd? From who, mine or the political class?
