Today brazilian people literally took over the National Congress. Following the people of many other countries such as Turkey and Egypy, with whom we share the same struggle… it’s the brazilian spring uprising.

Many newspapers are sharing only isolated cases of public destruction, when the majority of the protests are actually peaceful and are being censored. There are shock troopers in the streets throwing bombs and pepper spray on non-violent protesters (it even happened with myself…)

Today nearly 500,000 people every where in the country joined the mob in the streets in order to protest against the high taxes we pay in comparison to the terrible public services we get. 

Our politicians are very proud to show all over that we are a rich country and that we can spend billions and billions of dollars in stadiums for FIFA world cup while there are people dying in hospital beds all over Brazil because government didn’t send enough money to buy enough meds. 

Our children don’t have good public schools, there are still many people dying of starvation, our public transportation is expensive, not effective and often unsafe. 

Today our revolution for a better, fair place to live starts and we need the help from people all over the world to show the truth about brazillian protests, something that the corrupted media won’t show…

A rua é nossa, caralho!

So, to all of you who follow me and who are not from Brazil, you should read this, and please reblog, if you can.

These are some photos of what is happening to our country today. São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are facing protest all over the cities. To fight for their rights. Our country is living a hidden dictatorship. The protests started because the bus fee raised 20 brazilian cents. Which doesn’t seem that much, but you all should know that millions of brazilians live with a monthly income of no more than 700 brazilian reais (something like 350 american dollars). Some people live and raise families with that money. Monthly. To these people, $0,20 for each bus means a lot.

But the thing is: what initially was intended to be a protest against the bus fee turned into a protest against the government. A government that every year, steals millions of dollars of their people, in their own benefit. A government so corrupt, the population got used to it, and make jokes about it. In this country, a school teacher has a yearly income of $8400. The governors, on the other side, earn, for the same time, about $300.000. To work less. And they don’t even show up to work. And besides that salary, they steal.

And now, people are going to the streets. And the response is photographed. The government is brutally attacking everyone. I mean everyone. Protesters, pedestrians, reporters, photographers. Everyone. For no reason. They just attack. And bomb. And hurt.

The media is absolutely corrupted. The brazilian media makes it look like a violent act, that has to be fought with equal violence. That is a lie. 15 thousand people are going to the streets of Sao Paulo with no guns, no fire, no weapons. And they are being hurt, persecuted, and arrested. Some of them have to pay bail fees up to $20.000.

If you came all the way down here, please, reblog this. Help making the world know what is really going on here. This country, this beautiful country, with beautiful beaches, and women, and music, is now screaming in protest. This is the country in which the World Cup will be in 2014. A country that worries about the World Cup much more than it worries about the welfare of its citizens.

It’s sad being here. But we’re fighting.
