   About: combat corruption in parliamentary amendments and public contracts

   It reminded me of Toguro. Brazil has become 'Brazil-flavored'. COOKIES vanilla-flavored WITH chocolate chip flavor. This is not a criticism of Tortuguita. I actually bought a lot of it for my children back then. The point here is that Brazil is becoming 'Brazil-flavored'. We remember the good times, when everything was easier: owning a car, a house, and even smiling was easier. There were times when we had idols on Television, in Football, in Formula 1, in Basketball, Volleyball, Swimming… We had reasons to be proud of being Brazilian. And today, where did that go? In just a few days we see gasoline becoming 'gasoline-flavored', record losses at state-owned companies with our money, judges receiving above the pay cap, and Brazil knocked out in the World Cup round of 16. Meanwhile, Argentina has a historic surplus, falling inflation, and is in the World Cup final. Something is very wrong… Brazil has become 'Brazil-flavored.' And not because Brazil has become a failed country. We have become a ROBBED country. They talk so much about the gold Portugal took from here during colonization, but they forget that it doesn't even come close when compared to the INSS fraud, Mensalão, Petrolão, the Master scandal, and so on. They stole our money. They stole our dreams. And every election the same crooks return to the scene of the crime to perpetuate their power and your despair. With me this ENDS. After I entered politics in 2018, after more than 30 years as an entrepreneur working hard, creating jobs and paying taxes, I expelled the untouchables from my state. PT doesn't set foot there anymore. The comparison became embarrassing, and today the people of Minas are vaccinated against that plague. Now it's time to apply the same recipe across the whole country. End 'Brazil-flavored' and return to being BRAZIL. The brave Brazil, proud to go after what is ours, and that exudes the boldness and joy that only we have. That day will come. Companies will no longer need to create 'flavor' products just to survive. And Brazilians will no longer need to eat everything 'flavored' to pay the bills at the end of the month. I have the recipe. It worked in Minas, and it will work in Brazil. Enough of the untouchables. My name is Zema.
