Brazil hates Brazil

In Brazil, the story goes very fast. It happens and is forgotten. Mariana's tragedy could have been an example for radical changes in the control and control policy and in the science of dam residue monitoring. It was useless.

We know that it is necessary to leave the goal open, to reach the goal and to double the objective: again, a dam is tearing apart, people are dying, cities are disappearing, rivers are rotting. We are specialists in major incidents, accidents, precipitation, lack of precipitation, drought and humidity.

Jair Bolsonaro's fault is not what some of the last-minute culprits were moral. In fact, he quickly responded, unlike Dilma Rousseff, when she was in Mariana. The president has flown over the area and can not be accused of being omitted. Moreover, he has not had the time to commit the mistakes that he will make in environmental policy if he really treats the environment as a barrier to agribusiness.

The responsibility for the Brumadinho disaster may be proven and distributed, but it is also diffuse. Certainly, there are politicians, prosecutors, businessmen, technicians – nobles and family names – who should account for the deaths and incalculable damage, but what is lacking in all this is a more radical civic consciousness. promiscuity increases the error of all involved. In the compadrio capitalism, the law is confused, the bureaucracy strangles, the prosecutor ignores, the expert is incompetent, the technology is obsolete, the entrepreneur is immediatist, the politician is corrupt. Public policy is too political.

There is no legal-economic incentive to take the necessary measures, and institutional mechanisms need to be redesigned urgently, despite ideology and protagonism. Today, those who act bad know that nothing will happen if everything goes wrong; whoever does the right does not expect a reward or recognition. Justice is buried by inefficiency and repairs are washed away by floods.

The mud mud of Mariana resembles that of Brumadinho, and both are confused with the flames of the National Museum, and the National Museum behind him, in a succession of similar and seasonal events, all composing the l & # 39; History

Franz Kafka wrote the following aphorism: "The leopards break out in the temple and drink the jars of sacrifice to the end, it is always repeated without interruption; on this act in advance and this is part of the ceremony. "

This is more or less what is happening here. Once the scandals began to occur; they have always repeated without interruption; people are used to it, they have settled down, they have apologized; finally, we can count on these scandals in advance. They joined our story and took part in the ceremony.
