Is there a sign of a Brazilian spring?

Commonly known as Arabic spring the revolution that gives a new breath at North Africa and Middle East supported by young people through social networks can be now landing in Brazilian land? Young people make use of social network and the speed of internet to “move mountains” for their (and the nation) interests, the last tragedy in Brazil – the fire in a night club which caused over than 230 deads – turned on the sense of responsibility on the government and the wish to combat the corruption can be starting a new era on Brazilian democracy.

Looking pictures and videos of Arabic revolution of 2010 and 2011 is clearly perceptive the number of young people. Youth who has courage to face the dictatorial regime imposed on them before they even had born. It is clearly to see the exiting on their faces to confront who had put limits on their lives and freedom. Through the internet the youth was discussing and building up their faith on a country where people can choose their way to live, their way to express themselves, their desires and dreams. The videos, pictures and updates that were given during the revolution were decisive to put more and more alcohol on fire of hope, the hope for a new life, a life that nether them are able to describe. The result is a new political regime in several countries and the deposition of the others governments.

On January 27^th of 2013 Brazil woke up different, sad, hurt and desolate. On that night Brazil lost over than 230 young daughters and sons. On that day parents called desperately to their children to sure they were safe, but unfortunately for some of them they weren’t. During that day questions boiled up as hot water, why? Who? How? And the answer was the tears of people who lost their most loved. But now government is been questioned for the permission gave to that night club which had no conditions at all to open. People are making questions, hungry for justice. It is possible to see the unhappiness of Brazilians towards their politicians growing. There are many petitions on internet against the Brazilian Senate President Renan Calheiros, only on the site Avaaz.com there are at least four with an amount of over one million people asking for the impeachment of Renan Calheiros, who is accused by at least three crimes according to the representative of Republic Mr. Roberto Gurgel.

Brazilians have dreams, they have wishes and they hope for better times, as a young democracy with a constitution 24 years old, Brazil still learning how to use the power of people which is given by democracy. On 1992 thousands of people went to the streets to impeach the current president to keep on power, with the courage and the hope of a young – the same courage and hope that appears on the Arabic spring 20 years after. Brazilians are learning how to charge the government, and maybe the changing time is now, a time where people can actively participate of the decisions of their own country, to impeach people whose make use of political power for their interest instead of the interest of the nation but was necessary to lose all those people in Santa Maria to open the eyes? Do they died for nothing? It is not possible come back on time, but it is possible to learn with the past to avoid make the same mistakes. It is time to Brazilians ask for not only supervision on night clubs, but for a better life, for a better education, for a better health system, for a better transportation, for a real freedom! Imagine a country with healthy people where people can live longer and better, an education that allow people to choose their own future and not follow where everybody is going on. This is possible and the choice in on power of Brazilian people, if they want to have growing in all areas the time is now. The people on Arabic world did their choice; they choose freedom and a better future. Brazilians, what choice do you do?
