Brazil, a nation that 20 years ago that was quite civilized and relaxed in terms of politics and people were a bit more united. Now is all about sides and grumpy irrational actions and talks. This seems like some sickness. I wonder if this will pass some day. I thought that this was something that other nations were envy about it. I guess we lost our charm.

If you were asking about election news, the RW party, got a 3rd term and is 6 months in. They did lose seats and had to form a coalition govt. So their plans to rewrite the constitution seem to be on a hold.
