“I read and agree with the terms of the contract”. Yes, this is the biggest lie ever. Mostly ever we did not read any line of this contract, leading us to have great trouble in dealing with misfortunes and unplanned events. Consumers’ right is one of the hardest things to deal with because of these setbacks, but the most important rule is: if it is precisely described in the contract, it must be accomplished and, since the client sign it, he agrees with everything written down there. If he doesn’t, he must had discussed the terms before signing.
Said that, we can start to think about politics and the terms of its contract, in accordance to what Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote in his masterpiece “Leviathan”: to validate the social contract, the population must either accept all terms of it or discuss certain themes to decide what is the best to do about them. It is the very same axiom used by the business to talk about the signing of contracts – so, until here, no mysteries, I guess. So why is there a riot happening now in Brazil, after the former President, Dilma Rousseff, was impeached to continue her government and her Vice-President, Michel Temer, assumed interim the Head Office of the country? Why is people accusing Temer of scammer, claiming he was not legally elected, so he cannot continue his government? And, finally: why people still think Rousseff’s impeachment was a coup?
To get it started, the first thing I should clarify here is: Michel Temer was, in fact, democratically elected to his chair – of Vice-President. He was by Rousseff’s side during the presidential run, and was a very good professional as Vice-President until her exit. Like in any other place in which runs a presidential democratic regime, when the President has something important to do that might prevents him/her to keep up with his/her formal activities and agenda, it is the Vice-President’s obligation to resume business and continue his Chief’s activities, in order to avoid delays in political daily routine. When Rousseff was temporarily away from her duties – for instance, during official visits to countries abroad – it was Temer who used to substitute her, for example, to sign federal decrees. These events did never disquieted the population, who voted also for Temer when voted for Rousseff.
However, when she was accused of sabotage the national finances, she was forced by both Chamber of the Deputies and Federal Senate to leave her chair, and Temer assumed as Interim President of Brazil, which led Rousseff’s supporters riot against his tenure and question the legality of the formal proceedings that formalize Temer’s government. There is no crime nor mistake in his lead, because he was already the Vice-President and just assumed the presidential function due to the exit of the former President. So, here I state the first certainty: there was no coup in Brazil, only the Vice-President assuming the presidential duties and replacing his Chief.
Since there is no coup happening in Brazil, we still have to work on the country’s image abroad – most countries, listening to only a parcel of critiques and news from here, stated their support to Rousseff and started spreading that she was put out due to a coup. However, had these representatives any information about the reasons behind Rousseff’s exit?
Do they know she was taken from the government because she did made up official finances to deceive the National Treasury? Do they know she was one of the Head Officers in Petrobras, the oil company that was recently reduced to an insignificant parcel of what it used to be some years ago because of a billionaire financial gap of $25.3 billions, meanwhile the embezzlement was happening inside the enterprise? If they are all aware of these, and still support her government, that means they have no problems in repeating these actions in their own countries – by these, I mean misusing the public money or defrauding his country’s accountability, or else let their biggest oil company wrack due to an enormous public debt. If they are willing to do any of these, I sincerely do not trust in these countries – in fact, they are the real scammers, not Brazil.

Summarizing: before voting in any candidate to the Presidency, please read carefully the terms of the contract – which includes the Vice-President – because if you don’t agree with them, just change your candidate. The fact is if you accept a candidate to the Presidency, it means you also accept all his/her back-up gang. Temer was already a great ally to Rousseff before assuming the Vice-Presidency and it didn’t change a bit during her government. Only when she was about to be evicted from the Head Office, Temer started to discuss and make agreements to be put in practice when he assumes interim. He maintained some Ministers nominated by Rousseff, but changed others due to political interests – not differing from any previous President did when they were assuming the Chair. In addition, there is one other detail: it’s been only one week since Roussseff was officially away from her duties and that Temer assumed, so it is too early yet to judge whether he acted correctly or not. There is only one way out: only time…
