As the middle class Brazilians, asking the Government to reform the wholesale mass protests, people are in this continent-sized countries have reached on the streets and online ruling: "We have awakened the giant."
President Rousseff has tried to appease the masses to support their right to protest and in the bus and subway fares, sparked protests in the first place, Sao Paulo municipal government has canceled a 10% hike. But as protests grow even bigger, there are two major marches call Thursday, the Brazilian government seems to be how to deal with the needs of the people swept at a loss.
There are numerous government protesters raise demand and a growing number of complaints: it can not provide basic security of its citizens, official corruption and inefficiency, traffic bottlenecks potholed streets, and even mobile phones do not work. Should go into health care and education investment influx football and the airport.
Rousseff's response has been a little more than rhetoric. She has not formed any emergency response to the crisis the Commission to provide a grand gesture or fresh ideas. Also, has further angered Brazilians, such as Roseanne Reis, a 51-year-old nurse who likes millions of middle-class feeling pinched perennial poverty, high taxes and public services, and the country spend billions of dollars to host next year World Cup and 2016 Olympics.
"I worked for many years in public hospitals, Reis said:" I have seen with my own eyes, everyone but the richest Brazilians suffered during the protests this week over central Sao Paulo. "These politicians money for the World Cup, the Olympics money, but did not spend money on health or education, we have had enough. People wake up!"
Protests began a week ago in Sao Paulo, after an initial police repression of demonstrators, and quickly spread to other cities. They have become a collective cry for help if there is no organization to expand from a new middle class, expects its elected government taxes and leave the center.
Has caused a public outcry in Brazil's leadership is not vigilant. Rather than dealing with a group and a list of demands, the government has been facing a spontaneous mass movement, not a unified agenda.
How to quell discontent increases the perfect challenge because it came to power in 2003, the Workers' Party. Rousseff has met with former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Paulo Mayor Fernando Haddad in finding a solution.
They immediately before the Pope's visit next month, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo states to appease the protesters to work under pressure.
"The response has been most politicians is not enough, because they do not understand, they made a commitment to be elected by the population, often bruised head and the party leadership, the Workers' Party MPs said:" 多明戈斯杜 Tel. "The protesters demands are clear - immediately reverse transport costs, but there are others: the improvement in health care, to combat violence and the fight against impunity. President Dilma has taken too long to recognize that these requirements are true . "
Dutra said that when it comes to the fight against dissenting voices, so that environmental damage in the Amazon or the World Cup and Olympic large-scale public construction projects, the government moved quickly.
"But when it comes to social needs, slow progress, I hope the Government will understand that society is evolving, it needs to act quickly to meet the demand," he added.
Attending demonstrations this week in Sao Paulo who conducted a survey, they are solidly middle class. Three-fourths have a university degree, half are under 25 years old, over 80% of respondents said they did not belong to any political party, according to the survey respected (Datafolha) data set.
Those who participated in demonstrations and Workers' Party government support lies between the lower middle class and the poor is obvious disconnect between.
In fact, Brazil's poorest saw their economic life improved significantly under Silva and Dilma Rousseff government, mainly because many applauded the government cash transfer programs to lower-middle class in the last decade has helped 40 people move out of poverty.
However, other Brazilians feel alienated who make up the country's solid middle and upper middle class does not represent any political party lawyer, Rio Danluo Hitt said that in the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, Latin American Studies program director .
He said that middle-income families wages have been stagnant, their spending power has weakened, no government programs to help them, because they are Brazil's poorest. More complex is called "Brazil cost" - the plight of infrastructure and other red tape, so that everything is so expensive nation, Reuter said.
"The Brazilian Workers Party has ignored the middle class between them there is a clear feeling," Roth said. "There is no short answer, there must be multi-stakeholder dialogue, in order to understand just how deep frustration and priority must be given to the government how to respond. Rousseff cut answer to the various political factions."
Natalia Querino, 22-year-old college student, put it simple and on Tuesday joined thousands of other protesters in downtown Sao Paulo. She looked, Brazil spends about $ 1.3 billion so far in preparation for next year's World Cup, while the country's education system continues to lag behind other middle-income countries.
"We are against the government spends billions of dollars in stadiums, while people across the country are suffering from" Querino said. "We want better education, safer and better health care system."
Organizers said the decision to withdraw the higher bus fares will not bring a halt protest and demonstration is scheduled for Thursday in Sao Paulo plan.
"We will have a demonstration of people took to the streets to celebrate the victory, saying:" Mayara Vivian, wither LIVRE campaign kicked off last week to protest the mantra "giant awakened leaders."
Another leader, professor of history Lucas Monteiro Luo said: "The government has finally ceded to public pressure."
"This decision shows that citizens can win through mass mobilization," Monteiro said. "
For Latin American director Christopher Garman, headquartered in the U.S. consulting firm Eurasia Group, the Brazilian government has in a sense become a victim of its economic success.
"As Brazil becomes more wealthy, political aspirations began to change and people are asking their government's different things," Garman said. "When you have a" middle income "countries with a strong middle class steering, they started asking other things, to improve public services."
Garman said the long-term solution, demonstrators demanded to improve all aspects of the public sector will require major reform of the political system, not simply money.
"The problem is not money, but how you spend money," Garman said. "It is difficult to see this for weeks on end self-sustaining nature of their movement is so diffuse, it may peter out their you have filled in all of these unhappy, but there is no specific target."
