” Beds of large infrastructure projects have become the scene of a bitter dispute between unions linked to different unions. They fight for the representation of workers, and fall for the handsome collection of union dues (and care), figures that can reach millions. To do this, try to lure workers with proposals unrealistic and often end up cluttering the desktop as an exchange of accusations between the union members themselves.
The dispute, which may affect the schedule of works, is spread over all major enterprises of the country began in Hydroelectric Jirau and San Antonio, in Rondonia, passed by Suape Industrial Complex, involving the Abreu Lima refinery and petrochemical complex in Pernambuco; reached Thermoelectric Pecém, Ceará, and recently landed on the plant of Belo Monte, in Pará state.

The #BeloMonteDam is a #CrimeAgainstPresentandFutureGenerations. In the name of development, the Brazilian Government is endangering the survival of communities & indigenous peoples. They have failed to make a study of the impact the dam will have on biodiversity in the region. The dam will result in the extinction of rare fish species, the aquatic fauna, and the rainforest. The damage the dam will cause to the environment is irreversible & nefarious. The migration of at least a 100,000 people and the forced displacement of thousands of indigenous people, local communities, is resulting in social chaos… http://tl.gd/ggdppl · Reply

Warum ich diesen Artikel verfasse ? Weil ich den Regenwald kenne und weil es um das Ueberleben dieses einzigartigen Naturgebildes geht. Kein Mensch scheint an die Folgen dieses Projekts zu denken. 400 000 Hektar Primaerwald, seit Millionen Jahren praesent – wird ausgerottet. 40 000 Menschen mag nicht nach viel klingen, aber diesen Menschen gehoert der Urwald. Nicht der Regierung Brasiliens. Zuerst dies ….
Nun dies ? Niemand ist an dem Schicksal derer interessiert, jeder denkt nur daran die Tasche zu fuellen. Wir sind nicht mehr faehig klar zu denken.

Brazil Past : Dilma Roussef pictures
Dilma Roussef
August 07, 2012, Brazil ; The crimes of the dictatorship that lasted from 1964 to 1985 was finally considered by the court. One of the victims, President Dilma Rousseff.
The same person who had fought the tyrants, who had been tortured, and now we wonder if his fight against the military dictatorship was for the freedom of his country and his people, or to establish her own power.
