 (while marines are badly fed, brazilian navy officers are burning millions in luxury travels)
This case could seem to be a little off topic, but it gives us a vision on one of the main problems of democracy: the administration x corruption. In September 23, the "Cisne Branco" boat from the Brazilian navy arrived at Cabo Verde for a series of commemorations with the local authorities. The said travel of thousand of miles, with very high costs and luxury aboard was created due the necessity of Brazilian Navy to better "divulge the institution" and Brazil. WHAT? Let's analyze it better. Nowadays the Brazilian navy is suffering of tremendous budget problems with marines badly fed, terrible maintenance and many ships docked due total incapability of service. At the same time, some Brazilian high officers from the local Navy get aboard in a costly sea travel to show the world the magnificence of the Brazilian Navy. This case just demonstrate us that you can't talk about democracy of vote only, if the State money isn't applied correctly. Brazil has a democratic and free election system. Yes. But it is, in a economic point of view, a democratic country? No, far from it. Since the corruption established there just created a "State for few", while the majority suffers due lack of investments and opportunities. In accordance with the movimento nacionalista brasileiro site, the banquet was offered with the presence of an American ambassador. He should be ashamed of this. Eating lobsters payed with the famine and poverty of an entire nation.
