| 3º. Marina Silva, ecological candidate, was very influential in 2010 brazilian elections, ex-environment minister of President Lula, she resigned. One of the reasons is that she is against the construction of the mega hydro-electric power station on Xingu river, and she was suffering a lot of pressure to change her points of view. |
 |
| 1º. Dilma Rousseff & Lula: Dilma was the principal minister of president Lula, she's more prepared than him. Lula is an unlearned man, and Dilma is an economist, but that's not enough. The world's today problems require an environmental aproach, another philosophy than just the yearning for economical growth. |

| 2º.José Serra: ex-governor of the state of São Paulo. São Paulo has a lot of problems, so, if he couldn't resolve São Paulo's problems, how could he resolve Brazilian problems? |
One of those above had chances to be the President of Brazil. Dilma won the elections, so there won't be substantially changes. People will continue to live like poors, being in a super rich country, and still having to thank that they are less miserable than in the past!
We've seen elections for president here in Brazil. We've seen three principal candidates with chances to be the next President of Brazil: 1º.Dilma Roussef (ex-minister of the actual government, who quit her cargo as Minister to do her campaign for president), 2º.José Serra, an old politician, and 3º.Marina Silva (ex-minister of environment of Lula's government, who resigned and left the PT:Partido dos Trabalhadores, the political faction of president Lula). Dilma Roussef and José Serra are favorable to the construction of mega hydro-electric power station Belo Monte, and if they can they will do that, and that will cause an ecological disaster and social harm to native communitys. Marina Silva is against that construction, and she was the only hope for those who are ecologically concerned and are against that project, once that we haven't seen any effective international pressure. This government is receptive to persuasion only when it comes from goverments that apart from being fair, are politically influential and have economic power to bargain, but unfortunately, this international pressure by other governments over the environment topics in Brazil are not being done. Dilma Roussef, is an economist. I studied in the same classroom with her when I was studing economy, in U.F.R.G.S. Economics University, (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul= Economics Public Federal University of the state of Rio Grande do Sul). Althought Dilma was my schoolmate, I didn't get to know her well. A friend of mine knew her better, but I can't say a lot more because he is married now, and he was married at that time. Luckilly I quit in the second year to study architecture, and after 1,5 year I quit again to play music and learn about real life. I have no regrets, I'm proud of that! I would be ashamed to have a label as an economist or an architect because that's not my nature. It was in the UFRGS university that Dilma Roussef got her degree and diploma as an economist. She had a good training as an economist being a minister of state on Lula's administration , and also learned a lot working previously for other local governments here from Rio Grande do Sul. She is affiliated to PT( Partido dos Trabalhadores), the same politic faction of president Lula. Lula is an unlearned man who knows to talk to unlettered classes. He is Dilma's protector and supportted her campaign for presidency. Dilma will try to lead this country to be an economical potence, but the problem is that nowadays, to take economical steps, you have to take into account the environment factors. John M. Keynes economical theories and other macroeconomical currents were written when our planet wasn't in such environmental vulnerability as it is today. You can't grow infinitely, you better transform yourself, preferentially for better, but if you keep growing infinitely in the same restricted space, instead of changing your ways and evoluting, there's theorically the possibility that someday you might explode. China is not a good example to copy.
What's the advantage of being economically developed if you have to live in cities where you can't breathe.
When economical growth comes with ecologycal harm that's no good. There's much more than the economical riches to enrich our lives. You can't underestimate the strenght of "SOFT POWER" and cultural power, that opens new doors to create new economical partners, and even change their ways for better.
Actually, the problems with the preservation of the amazonian rainforest in Brazil are very complex. It's a big problem and difficult to resolve. But not impossible. This problem also has the time factor, we're running against time, and time is running out!
